15. Expand the application of The Business Intelligence for the
departments of accounts payable, accounts receivable and
logistics. Making changes to current processes of actual ETL
and OLAP cubes.
Introduction
Once the organization has started to use the services and benefits of the Business Intelligence
systems, it’s when the desire arises to replicate it to other departments. This project shows
complex structures to the new implementation in the particular process of ETL, OLAP and MDX.
It also presents the documentation for those activities and process.
What happens to the outstanding balances on an account receivable in which the customer has
credit days and OLAP cube must be able to show customer's current balance, outstanding
balance, aging days and balances to overcome periods of 30, 60 or 90 working days depending
on the company metrics? We need to have a many transformations and calculations in the ETL
process as well in the MDX language.
Audience
Focused on Business Intelligence developers, any IT professional, as well any management level
in the accounts receivable, accounts payable and logistic departments.
Project Goals:
Create dimensional data structures suitable for the ETL process.
Create new ETL processes that meet the requirements of the organization to implement
data marts.
Create new Dimensional OLAP cubes that meet the requirements of the organization.
Perform the necessary tests to create new processes.
Making changes to current processes of ETL and OLAP cubes.
Generate relevant documentation to support the work mentioned above.

18. Specific DTS for the account receivable process
Explanation
In this complex process, we have two connection managers, first from the AS400 DB2 database,
second from the SQL Server database. Also the image shows many T-SQL statements for:
truncate tables, create temporal tables, extraction of the information, some core process to
load the specific data of the accounts receivable information. For end process, it image shows
dimensional and cube OLAP process.

20. Explanation
Before you run this query, you must remove all previous customers who have no outstanding
balances with the company, ie the sum of what you have paid and purchased are zero.
Subsequently, those who are carrying a balance, you perform a sum of all assets that have
outstanding balances for each period of the last 12 months. ie a January 2010, the total amount
of debt, to December 2009, the sum total of their debts, and so repeatedly to 12 months in
advance.
Since the end of each month, it is pertinent to consider that total debt is held by a customer
and what month comes each debt.
Account receivable T-SQL query process.
Update TEMPSLP20V2
SET BALANCE = A.BALANCE
FROM
(select sum(BTMT20) As BALANCE, MIN(LREF20) as DOCUMENTO, MIN(PERIODO) as PER,
MIN(ETYP20) as ENTRADA, MIN(EVNT20) as EVENTO
from TEMPSLP20V2
group by LREF20, ETYP20, PERIODO) as A
WHERE LREF20 = A.DOCUMENTO and PERIODO = A.PER and ETYP20 = A.ENTRADA and EVNT20
= A.EVENTO
Update TEMPSLP20V2
SET BALANCEUSD = A.BALANCE
FROM
(select sum(PTMT20) As BALANCE, MIN(LREF20) as DOCUMENTO, MIN(PERIODO) as PER,
MIN(ETYP20) as ENTRADA, MIN(EVNT20) as EVENTO
from TEMPSLP20V2
group by LREF20, ETYP20, PERIODO) as A
WHERE LREF20 = A.DOCUMENTO and PERIODO = A.PER and ETYP20 = A.ENTRADA and EVNT20
= A.EVENTO
Explanation
This T-SQL specific, shows the sum of the balance, among other fields, for clients who have debt
with the company for both USD and MXN currency.
NOTE: for this project there is not a solution to the types of changes. Each currency (MXN,
USD) was calculated.
20
21. OLAP Structure
Explanation
This images shows up the different kind of
OLAP cubes, and for the Account Receivable
Cube it shows the different kind of
dimensions and also are in hierarchies,
customer, date, transaction, mixes
dimensions.
21
22. Star Schema Diagram for Account Receivable
Explanation
Star schema with eight dimensions (Periods, Warehouse, Entry Type, Reason Codes, Zone, Date,
Customer and Sub Entry Type) and also into the fact table there are many kind of natural
measures, and we have two type of core measures, degenerate dimensions (order, invoice,
etc.) and normal measures (debts, balance, etc.)
22
23. Measures and Calculate members
Explanation
Natural measures and calculate measures. Many of the calculate members are evaluate the
same measure but with a different period the common use is for the last period.
23
24. MDX code and Drill Through options
Explanation
In this MDX expression we have many functions on it. Iif(), PrevMemeber(), CurrentMember()
NOT an operator and using the NULL values. This is very important because the PrevMember()
and CurrentMember(), we need to use the Date Dimension, and the Date Dimension need to be
set up as DateTime Dimensios Datatype, this is an important configuration.
Explanation
Columns that will appear in a drill through execution.
24
25. User Roles and Restricted Dimension access
Explanation
In the first image we have all the users that have a different access to the OLAP cubes and for
the second image we have a specific restriction to access just a one kind of granularity in the
customer dimension.

26. SetFocus Business Intelligence Project using Microsoft SQL
Service Integration Services 2005
Introduction
Create SSIS packages to extract information from excel and CVS files formats with Data Source and the
connection manager properly. Create specifics transformations tasks like data conversion, derived
columns, look up, conditional split and scripts tasks, as well with the correct precedent constraint and
pipelines. Create the upload of the information for new, existing and bad Id’s. Used of the notification
email. Deploy the packages and create a schedule jobs.
Audience
Focused on business intelligence developers, as well as any professional in the information
technology area.
Project Goals:
Review the source data (Excel or CVS). Make some enhancements to the existing data
sources, to support more flexible business practices for customer invoicing.
Use SQL Server 2005 Integration Services to integrate these external data sources into
the SQL Server database. (Using the specific task to create the necessary
transformation)
Create the necessary tests to the package as well execute successfully.
Create the specific documentation for each package (Documentation with the source,
destination, files to read, data base to load, process, results)
For each package generate a successful and failure emails using the variables for new,
updated or bad ids.
Create a maintenance package to backup, shrink and reindex the data base.
Use correct proper error handler as need it. Correct NULL statements, use of the new
rows Inserted using OLEDB Destination, updates using OLEDB Command, use
annotation, comments and best practice to name objects and variables.
26
27. Read several CVS files
Explanation
Package that read several CVS files from some path, made the transformation as need on each
one of them, create the necessary calculations with the variables and send a successful or
failure email.
27
28. Declaring and using variables
Explanation
The fist image show a list of variables used in the last package. The name and the scope and the
right type of data. And the second image shows a simple Visual Basic script of how use that
variables for each file read it.
28
29. Using several task into the Data Flow Tab
Explanation
There are 9 basic steps beginning with the extraction from an Excel source file, data conversion,
two lookup task and a conditional split. What in the lookup task want to do us to find that the
EmployeID exists into the BTW the source file and the data base using a JOIN statement for the
Employe table and EmployeRate Table. And for the second Lookup to identify what rows are
new or what rows are changed from the Unique Keys identifier.
29
30. Conditional Split task and Destination source.
Explanation
The image shows multiple conditions for proper error handler. If an EmployeeID is not present
in the source file or if the JobID is not present in the source file or if the WorkDate is grather or
equal than WorkClose, the three option go to a flat file destination and report in the with rows
are wrong.
And for the OLE DB Destination is for new rows and the OLE DB Command is for the updated
rows using the parameters as need in the configuration.
30
31. Manage all packages with Maintenance plan
Explanation
This is the master package, that executes a bunch of package with some ETL process and also it
includes a simple database maintenance plan with the emails associate with successfully and
failure.
31
32. Job scheduling
Explanation
The image above shows the basic configuration of a SQL Job, with a step and schedule
configuration for the master package. In this package the connection manager and the owner
of the SQL Job, was configured properly to run well every midnight.

33
34. Data Source View – Cube
Explanation
The first picture shows a data source diagram from the data staging area in the
database. Relationships between data base tables.
The second picture shows a cube diagram from the data source view. In this diagram we
can appreciate the four fact tables and only five dimension tables. We have a peculiar
difference btw the first and second picture, the number of tables. I will show the
difference in the next picture.
34
35. Job Master Dimension – Multiple relationships
Explanation
This picture shows a JobMaster.dim, dimension table that is related with other four tables. We
have here the configuration of the relationship between tables that are not part of a dimension
in a cube, but some attributes from other tables need to show up into the cube.
35
36. Dimensions Usage – Calculate Members
Explanation
The first picture shows how each fact table is related to each dimension into the cube
structure. In this structure we can see that the job Master and the All Works Calendar is
related for all fact tables, when the overhead, material types and employees is just
related into some of the fact tables.
The second picture is a list of some calculates members that were created for the cube
structure. In the next picture in the portfolio I will show how I can handle more and
complex MDX code.
36
37. KPI
Explanation
The image show how is set upped a the Open Receivables KPI , that is a value expresion for a
calculate member called Open Receivables and evaluated to be in a range of values to set a
goodterm, midterm and badterm values for a traffic light colors. KPIs and Trend are very usefull
to see some patterns in the history of the data.
37
38. Cube Partitions and Cube Browser
Explanation
The first image shows two partitions for each fact table and a 50% aggregations. Each
partition has a condition about historical and actual year.
The second image shows the cube browser for previous results evaluations
38
39. MDX Code
Explanation

40. SetFocus Business Intelligence Project using Microsoft SQL
Service Reporting Services 2005, Performance Point Server and
SharePoint Server
Introduction
End users need access tools to analyze information. This information can be from relational data
sources, dimensional data sources, OLAP cubes, Excel sheets, web information and also information in
flats files. Reporting Services as well Performance Point Server allow us to create a simple and complex
end users report. Also SharePoint Server is an intranet that let us to publish many of this reports in a
very structure way with many features. In this project I will show you what I have done and how.
Audience
Focused in business intelligence developers as well as any professional in the information
technology area and business end users.
Project Goals:
Created reports with SQL Server Report Server in Business Intelligence Developer
Studio, with information from relational databases and OLAP information. Created
parameters for those repots to be dynamic and also give the adequate format to
present the report.
Created reports on Performance Point Server with OLAP information. Created
Dashboards, KPI, Reports, with multiple parameters graphics, grids and Excel Services
reports.
Created reports with Excel, with pivot tables, pivot charts with multiple filters.
Created a Collation Site on SharePoint Server, with multiple documents library and
many subscriptions.
Deploy and publish all the reports for SQL Server Report Server, Performance Point
Server and Excel Services.
40
41. SQL Server Report Services – Data
Explanation
On SSRS, it is possible to define the dataset from we want to query and create the results
information that we want to build in the layout. We can use the OLAP information, relational
databases. Both types, automatic design and expert design to build the information that we
want to see. In this case with expert design with and MDX query.
41
42. SQL Server Report Services – Layout
Explanation
This is an important step. The developer need to know the tool to create the report layout
exactly what end user need to see, and also how to play with the different tool that SSRS have.
In this layout we can create, tables, matrix, charts, with many data sources, grouping
information, create summarize data, and give a fancy end users design.
42
43. Performance Point Server
Explanation
Performance Point Services allow us to create dashboards, KPI’s, Scorecards and Reports from
many data sources with different types of indicators as light or gauge. This image, show many
different objects, that I will show in next images but in SharePoint Server.
43
44. Share Point Server with Excel Services
Explanation
This image show two important things, the first one is the chart wit two different type of
indicator a percentage and a bar chart, created in Excel Services, then it show the background
of the SharePoint Server where it has many documents library with the different kind of
reports.
