Re: UDM approach/concept in real

Hi Marco,

If what you say is true, M$ lies massivelly. In the M$'s own (in)famous document from MSDN ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345143.aspx ) propagating new UDM concept is clearly stated, that this is possible with current implementation of AS.

Marcel,

the actual UDM is not able to do this kind of integration. UDM today is
the model defined in Analysis Services, that you query with MDX only
(you could use also SQL via OLE/DB provider for Analysis Services, but
it is somewhat limited).

Today the best way to get your consolidation is to build a rock solid
data warehouse with all your data, and build a UDM on this.

This post is, of course, not very marketing-oriented... :-)

Hi NG

Everyone talks about UDM and consolidating heterogenous datasources (OLTP, OLAP, flatfiles) into one cube and one
dimensional model. However, I didn't find any example of such an implementation. Could someone provide us with something
like that?
