60 IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes
4.1 Introduction to IBM Cognos Cube Designer
IBM Cognos Cube Designer is a new modeling environment that is built for the design and
deployment of dynamic cubes. Cognos Cube Designer contains a number of features to
streamline the modeling process and help users ensure that a quality model is defined and
deployed.
Users can explore the structure of their data and examine the relationships between the
tables in their data warehouse to determine the objects to be used in their cube model.
Auto-design features in Cognos Cube Designer use primary-foreign keys, if they exist, in the
data source of the users to create a cube model as a starting point for users to further refine.
