view cube page

Displays the Actuate Analytics Cube Viewer to view or analyze a data cube in an Encyclopedia volume. When a cube view is accessed, the latest version of the data cube is generated from the cube design that the cube view depends upon. This lets you create views on the cube and use the views as bookmarks to analyze the cube.

Many settings for the Cube Viewer are taken from the Actuate Information Console configuration parameters. These settings include the viewer’s height and width, the default experience level, and whether or not users can save new cubes. The names of all of the configuration parameters that apply to the Cube Viewer begin with ANALYTICS.

The Cube Viewer downloads the entire cube file from the Encyclopedia volume to allow analysis on the cube. The upper limit on the cube size that can be downloaded depends on the resources available on your client machine, and can be less than necessary to download a large cube. Actuate recommends partitioning the data to be analyzed based on the end user role, and using a summary and several detail cubes to support analysis of large cubes.
