Implementing and Maintaining Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services - 2791 Course, Class Outline

(3 days)
Version 2005

Overview
This three-day instructor-led course teaches students how to implement an Analysis Services solution in their organization. The course discusses how to use the Analysis Services development tools to create an Analysis Services database and an OLAP cube, and how to use the Analysis Services management and administrative tools to manage an Analysis Services solution.

This course is intended for information technology (IT) professionals and developers who need to implement analysis solutions by using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services.

At Course Completion
After completing this course, students will be able to:
• Describe how SQL Server Analysis Services can be used to implement analytical solutions.
• Create multidimensional analysis solutions with SQL Server Analysis Services.
• Implement dimensions in an Analysis Services solution.
• Implement measures and measure groups in an Analysis Services solution.
• Query a multidimensional Analysis Services solution.
• Customize an Analysis Services cube.
• Deploy and Secure an Analysis Services database.
• Maintain a multidimensional Analysis Services solution.
• Implement a Data Mining solution.

Prerequisites
Before attending this course, students must have:
