From a star schema you can create one or more OLAP metaoutlines, which describe the dimesions and hierarchies that can be used to build OLAP cubes using the data in the star schema. In the Metaoutline interface of the DB2 OLAP Integrated Server, you select the dimensions and hierarchies for a cube, create additional dimensions, and add members to the dimensions. You can further customize your metaoutline by setting filters that determine which data is used to build OLAP cubes.
