3 Data Warehouse / Data Marts Reporting Database of operational transactions Two Types of Data Fact Tables ensions Reports are built on the depth and variety of the dimensions. Regional Sales Product PK Product Key PK,FK3 PK,FK2 PK,FK1 Date Key Product Key Region Key PK Date Date Key Attributes... Price Attributes... Region PK Region Key Attributes...

4 Why Managing ensions? Typical Execs Meeting: most of the time spent arguing data validity rather than analyzing and draw conclusions from it? Why? ensions are slowly changing over time Hierarchies are extremely hard to update at the SQL table level Business always comes with new requirements Where? Manage the source (upstream / producer) Not always under same org control Requires multiple expertise Not always allowed (multiple DW needs) Not part of any source system, attributes required only for reporting Manage the reports (downstream / consumer) Changes in one consumption (BI) tool do not propagate to other tools Changes do not propagate to source (not sticky) Manage at the DW / Data Mart level Best of all worlds

5 What does it Mean to Manage ensions Enable updating the dimension s attributes and hierarchies via simple user interface Changes need to be properly validated Changes must be approved Changes must be audited Proper permissions need to be defined
