Business Intelligence Tutorial

Lesson 5. Defining a subject area

In this lesson, you will use the Data Warehouse Center to define a subject area. A subject area identifies and groups processes that relate to a logical area of the business.

For example, if you are building a warehouse of sales and marketing data, you define a Sales subject area and a Marketing subject area. You then add the processes that relate to sales underneath the Sales subject area. Similarly, you add the definitions that relate to the marketing data underneath the Marketing subject area.

For this tutorial, you will define a TBC Tutorial subject area to contain the definitions for the tutorial.

Any user can define a subject area, so you do not need to change the authorizations for the Tutorial Warehouse Group.
