On the computer running DB2 OLAP Integration Server, create Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) connections to an OLAP Metadata Catalog data source and to the relational data source that you use for creating OLAP models and metaoutlines.
  6. Create an OLAP Metadata catalog. See Creating, upgrading, and deleting OLAP Metadata Catalogs for more information.
