1 Advanced MDX - Performance, Optimization and the MDX Script Dauer: 2 Tage Kursnummer: GKSQLOPT Überblick: Dies ist ein weiterführender MDX-Kurs. Der erste Tag widmet sich möglicher Strategien für das Monitoring und die Optimierung vom MDX. Am zweiten Tag wenden wir uns zuerst fortgeschrittenen MDX-Konzepten und Funktionen zu. Danach beschäftigen wir uns mit dem effektiven Gebrauch von MDX Script. Dieses Seminar ist relevant für SQL Server 2014, 2012 und Das Seminar richtet sich an Entwickler und BI-Profis, die multidimensionale Cubes in SQL Server Analysis Services entwickeln und/oder supporten. Sie sollten über folgendes Vorwissen verfügen:verständnis für MDX CalculationsVerständnis für Sets und TuplesFähigkeit einfache MDX Funktionen zu nutzen Wer soll teilnehmen?: This course is intended for individuals who are developing or supporting Analysis Services multidimensional cubes. Kursziel: Analyze and optimize the performance of MDX calculations. Use all the MDX functions. Understand the situations where MDX can be modified to improve performance and those situations where other strategies must be used. Use the MDX Script to create complex business logic. Use the MDX Script to create complex Date Calculation Hierarchies. Re-write MDX calculations so that they will work with specific client applications. Voraussetzungen: Ability to create and understand MDX calculations Thorough understanding of sets and tuples Ability to use all the basic MDX functions It is recommended that the students have taken the SolidQ course MDX for Business Logic
