DB2 Alphablox and DB2 Cube Views

The DB2® Alphablox technology provides custom Web-based analytic applications for relational databases, relational cubes in DB2, and multidimensional databases.

DB2 Alphablox provides a set of analytic components and supporting services to facilitate rapid assembling of analytic applications. These components, known as "Blox" (as in "building blocks") include interactive graphs, charts, and reports.

The DB2 Alphablox platform provides access and interaction with data in multidimensional and relational databases and creates structured reports sourced from relational databases. Users can choose from a wide variety of charts to display data, and they can interact with different levels of data (for example, filter, drill down) to display the exact view of the data they want.

DB2 Cube Views™ is an add-on feature of DB2 Universal Database™ (UDB) that accelerates the performance of DB2 UDB in Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) of data. DB2 Cube Views streamline the deployment and management of OLAP solutions and improve the performance of OLAP tools and applications. With DB2 Cube Views™, you can describe the dimensional structure of your relational tables and create OLAP constructs.

The Historical Database has a multidimensional structure that can be described in DB2 Cube Views. DB2 Alphablox provides the technology to use this description to create enhanced multidimensional analysis for the dashboard views.
