As the first step in our walkthrough of Pentaho Analyzer, we start by giving a quick introduction to a Mondrian schema definition. To start using OLAP functionalities in Pentaho, we first need to define a Mondrian schema. It is an XML file that contains the definition of all the multidimensional entities, for example, cubes, dimensions, and measures that relate to a specific business area. The definition of a Mondrian schema is a preliminary and mandatory operation to access multidimensional analysis capabilities. This recipe will show how to create a simple Mondrian schema by using the developer tool called Pentaho Schema Workbench, trying to get you into some basic concepts. We do not intend to provide a detailed guide about how to design a Mondrian schema, but just a brief review of the basic steps and concepts needed to design it.
