Business Intelligence Tutorial

Lesson 15. Working with business metadata

For this lesson, you must have the Warehouse Manager package to install the Information Catalog Manager, which runs on Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98. You also must have defined the dimension tables and fact table in Defining the rest of the tables for the star schema (optional).

In this lesson, you will view your published metadata in the information catalog and customize the catalog. In the information catalog, the metadata is in the form of objects, which are items that represent units or distinct groupings of information, but do not contain the actual information. You will create a collection of objects in the catalog. A collection is a container for objects that you define to gather objects for easy access. You will launch a program from an object that represent a file to view the actual file data.
