Analytic Workspace Java API Overview

The Oracle OLAP Analytic Workspace API is a Java API for building and maintaining standard form analytic workspaces. The API provides classes for describing a logical cube, mapping the cube to a relational data source, and aggregating the cube's data. You can also use the API to specify complex solves, such as allocations and forecasts, and define custom measures and custom dimension members.

The Analytic Workspace API supports two deployment modes: It can be embedded in a Java application, or it can be used to generate XML that serializes the object model for execution by the EXECUTE function. The functionality of the API is identical whether executed from a Java client through JDBC or directly in the database through SQL.

The Analytic Workspace API does not use OLAP Catalog metadata.
