Slide with User-Specific Animation

Here you can see the different parts of the planning model and the various

steps that are necessary for building a simple planning application using BI

Integrated Planning.

STEP 1: Create a real-time InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench.

STEP 2: Create an aggregation level using the planning modeler or the

planning wizard.

STEP 3: Build the input-ready query on top of the aggregation level.

STEP 4. Use the same input-ready query to create a planning application in the

Excel environment (BEx Analyzer) or in the Web environment (BEx Web

Application Designer)

With the current solution, the local cache, delta buffer, constraints and the

aggregation engine are part of the application layer. If we want to perform

planning on the data or manipulate it using planning functions, we need to

move a large volume of data from the database to the application layer. This is

very costly in terms of performance.

With the help of this approach, we now have a bigger data base layer and a

smaller application layer

11

We can use this example to explain how we reduce the data traffic.
