DB2 OLAP Server 8.1 and DB2 OLAP Integration Server 8.1

Hybrid Analysis is a new function of DB2 OLAP Integration Server that you can use to access more data without enlarging your OLAP database. It builds a virtual extension from an OLAP database to the relational database that contains the lowest members of your OLAP hierarchies.

The data you access with Hybrid Analysis is not part of the OLAP database; Hybrid Analysis maps the relational data to the appropriate hierarchies in your OLAP database.

DB2 OLAP Server Miner is a no-cost add-on feature of DB2 OLAP Server that automatically mines through large volumes of OLAP data and identifies and reports on specific elements that represent the most outstanding, and unexpected, pieces of information. You can expose problems and opportunities that were previously hidden and act on them quickly.

DB2 OLAP Server, and its add-on feature DB2 OLAP Integration Server, are sold separately from DB2 Universal Database.
