The IT Perspective: Data Warehousing, Management, and Analytical Structures Rafal Lukawiecki Strategic Consultant, Project Botticelli Ltd [email protected] 1 1 Objectives Explain the basics of: 1. 2. 3. 4. Master Data Management Data Warehousing ETL OLAP/Multidimensional Data This seminar is based on a number of sources including a few dozen of Microsoft-owned presentations, used with permission.

Integration Services Get your data from the world outside (ETL) Analysis Services Cubes, Data Mining, support for PowerPivot on SharePoint Reporting Services DIY Report Builder and traditional “big” reports Master Data Services Quality of critical master data (cities, colours, customers) Database Engine Data warehouse and OLTP relational storage 4 4 Master Data Management 5 MDM Ensures consistency of data across all organisational uses Impacts overall data quality Processes and tools for: Collection, aggregation, matching, distribution, and persistence of master data Consistently Related to Federated Data Management Key to MDM: Modelling 6 6 Why MDM? It’s About Evolution of Enterprise Architecture 7 7 MDM Processes • Batched Acquisition from Staging Tables • Members, Attributes, Parent-Child Relationships • SQL Integration Services Import & Integration 8 Modeling • Versioning Changes • Auditing • Compliance • Tracking of Instances • Subscription Views • Export to: • Operational Systems • Data Warehouses • BI Analytics • Reporting Tools Export & Subscription 8 Microsoft Master Data Services SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise, Datacenter, Developer Tools: Master Data Manager Primary tool for managing your master data MDS Configuration Manager IT Pro tool MDS Web Service For developers wanting to extend MDS 9 Concepts: Models Entities Attributes Members Hierarchies Collections Versions Database 9 Modelling Master Data Model organises data at highest level Allowing versioning of changes to data There are typically four categories of models: People (Customers, Staff) Places (Geographies, Cities, Countries) Things (Products) Concepts (Accounts, Behaviours, Transactions) 10 10 Example: Product MDM Model Product (model) Product (entity) Name (freeform attr) Code (freeform attr) Subcategory (domainbased attr) StandardCost (free-form attr) Name (freeform attr) Code (freeform attr) Category (domainbased attr) Name (freeform attr) 11 ListPrice (free-form attr) Photo (file attr) Code (freeform attr) 11 1. Reviewing a Data Model Using Master Data Services 12 Data Warehouse 13 Rich Connectivity Data Providers ODBC SQL Server SAP NetWeaver BI SQL Server Integration Services DB2 MySAP SQL Server Report Server Models Teradata XML OLE DB SQL Server Data Mining Models Oracle SQL Server Analysis Services 14 Hyperion Essbase 14 Star Schema 15 15 Star Schema Benefits Simple, not-so-normalized model High-performance queries Especially with Star Join Query Optimization Mature and widely supported Low-maintenance 16 16 Snowflake Dimension Tables Define hierarchies using multiple dimension tables Support fact tables with varying granularity Simplify consolidation of heterogeneous data Potential for slower query performance in relational reporting No difference in performance in Analysis Services database 17 17 Slowly Changing Dimensions Maintain historical context as dimension data changes Three common ways (there are more): Type 1: Overwrite the existing dimension record Type 2: Insert a new ‘versioned’ dimension record Type 3: Track limited history with attributes 23 23 Integration and ETL 27 Let’s do ETL with SSIS SQL Server Integration service SSIS object model Two distinct runtime Services (SSIS) engines: Control flow Data flow 32-bit and 64-bit 28 editions 28 The Package The basic unit of work, deployment, and execution An organized collection of: Connection managers Control flow components Data flow components Variables Event handlers Configurations Can be designed graphically or built programmatically Saved in XML format to the file system or SQL Server 29 29 Control Flow Control flow is a process-oriented workflow engine A package contains a single control flow Control flow elements Containers Tasks Precedence constraints Variables 30 30 Data Flow The Data Flow Task Performs traditional ETL and more Fast and scalable Data Flow Components Extract data from Sources Load data into Destinations Modify data with Transformations Service Paths Connect data flow components Create the pipeline 31 31 1. Using SQL Server Integration Services for Splitting Data 32 OLAP/Multidimensional Data 33 Cube = Unified Dimensional Model Multidimensional data Combination of measures and dimensions as one conceptual model Measures are sourced from fact tables Dimensions are sourced from dimension tables 34 34 Hierarchies Benefits View of data at different levels of summarization Path to drill down or drill up Implementation Denormalized star schema dimension Normalized snowflake dimension Self-referencing relationship 36 36 Hierarchy Defined in Analysis Services Ordered collection of attributes into levels Navigation path through dimensional space Very important to get right! Customers by Geography Customers by Demographics Country Marital State Gender City Customer Customer 37 37 Measure Group Group of measures with same dimensionality Analogous to a fact table Cube can contain more than one measure group E.g. Sales, Inventory, Finance Defined by dimension relationships 38 38 Measure Group Measure Group Dimension Sales 39 Inventory Customers X Products X X Time X X Promotions X Warehouse Finance X X Department X Account X Scenario X 39 1. Using BIDS to Review Dimension Design 2. Cube Design and Functionality 42 Summary As a platform for enterprise Business Intelligence you should consider four services: Data Warehouse (can be relational) Process for Data Management (MDS) Process for Data Integration (ETL) Analysis (OLAP, Data Mining, Columnar) = SQL Server 2008 R2 43 43 © 2010 Microsoft Corporation & Project Botticelli Ltd.
