Cubes in BO

[raccess]

Hi,

Currently we are using Cognos for our BI needs but our MIS planning to go for BO. I have simple question about OLAP facility of BO.

Is it possible to build Cube in BO same as Cognos PowerPlay?

How OLAP concept working in BO? (Slicing & dicing)

Any information / document or link on this will help to understand it better.

Thanks in Advance,

R

BO and PowerPlay do not compare.

BO is a query tool with great ad-hoc capability. It does have some OLAP capabilities, but is not an OLAP server product. You can slice and dice the data in a report, but it isn't going to hold millions of rows of data and give you the same functionality that a true OLAP product does.
