In this recipe, we will create a Cube Schema and an Essbase Model for the ASOsamp application. This process is similar to the one we discussed in the recipe Developing Cube Schema and Essbase Model in Chapter 3; but it is not the same. Our Time and Year dimensions are not being generated via a Calendar Hierarchy and as such we don't have to worry about Key Bindings. In addition, when you are building an ASO model's Cube Schema, the order that you choose the hierarchies is only important for display purposes and should not impact performance, as the concepts of dense and sparse are not relevant to the ASO model. You will recall that in a Block Storage application, we need to build the cube in an hour glass shape with a larger dense dimension on top and the largest sparse dimension on the button. This best practice does not apply to ASO.

Overview of this book
Oracle Essbase is a Multi-Dimensional Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) server, providing a rich environment for effectively developing custom analytic and enterprise performance management applications. Oracle Essbase enables business users to quickly model complex business scenarios.
This practical cookbook shows you the advanced development techniques when building Essbase Applications and how to take these applications further.
Packed with over 90 task-based and immediately reusable recipes, this book starts by showing you how to use a relational data model to build and load an Essbase cube and how to create a data source, prepare the mini schema, and work with the data elements in Essbase Studio. The book then dives into topics such as building the BSO cube, building the ASO cube, using EAS for development, creating Calculation Scripts and using MaxL to automate processes.
