This chapter describes how to set up the sample applications for DB2 OLAP Server.
DB2 OLAP Server offers the following sample applications. These sample
applications are based on The Beverage Company (TBC), a fictional company
that manufactures and sells soft drink products.
- The main application used in the documentation is called Sample. It contains
three databases: Basic, Interntl, and Xchgrate. The latter two contain specific
features corresponding to the currency conversion option.
- The Demo application contains one database, Basic, which is referred to
in the Analytic Services Technical
Reference.
- The Samppart application, is the first of two applications designed to
show the features of Partitioning. Samppart contains a Company database that
is the target of a partitioned database.
- The Sampeast application, is the second of two applications designed for
Partitioning. Sampeast contains an East database that is the source of data
for a partitioned database.
- The Sample_U application demonstrates a Unicode-mode version of Sample
Basic, including alias tables in four different character sets, in addition
to English. Characters in the Sample_U application are encoded in UTF-8.
- The DMDemo application demonstrates the features of Data Mining. DMDemo
contains one database, called Basic. The sample mining tasks in the data mining
documentation use data in Basic to illustrate data mining functionality.
- The ASOsamp application is designed to show the features of aggregate
storage databases. ASOsamp contains one database, called Sample.
If you plan to use the sample applications, you must perform additional
steps to prepare them for use in your organization. This chapter contains
