The Design Studio includes a local help system, a set of sample files with a related tutorial, and an Eclipse “cheat sheet” that you can work through to get started. 数据挖掘研究院
- Help system
- To use the help system, select . Use the navigation tree on the left side of the help browser or the search facility above the tree to find the information that you need. The help system contains information about the SQL Warehousing Tool, OLAP, and data mining components.
- Samples
- To open the sample projects, select . Select one of the samples and click . You can use these sample projects to work with the DWE tutorial.
- Cheat sheet
- To run the cheat sheet, select , then select and click OK. The cheat sheet explains the steps of creating a new data design project, a physical data model, a data warehouse project, and a data flow.
DWE documentation
The DWE documentation includes a DWE tutorial and sample database, the DWE information center, the DB2® Alphablox information center, the WebSphere® Application Server information center, and the DWE Web site.
DWE offers a the following documentation:
- DWE tutorial and sample database
- DWE provides a tutorial that shows you how you can use the components of DWE to create an end-to-end business intelligence solution. The tutorial is based on a new sample database that describes the operations of a fictional retail company, JK Superstore.
Using the DWE tutorial, you can learn how to build and deploy a BI solution that extends the capabilities of a DB2 data warehouse. This tutorial introduces you to the highlights of DWE so that you can get up and running quickly and easily. The tutorial shows you how to:
- Create, test, and deploy a physical data model
- Create, test, and deploy SQL-based data flows and control flows to populate your tables and analytic structures with data
- Create, test, and deploy multidimensional metadata and materialized query tables (MQTs) for online analytical processing (OLAP)
- Create, test, and deploy web-based analytics that query OLAP cubes (using Alphablox)
- Create, test, and deploy mining models
- Create, test, and deploy web-based analytics that visualize mining results (using Alphablox)
- DB2 and DWE information center
- The DWE Version 9.1 documentation is integrated with the DB2 UDB Version 8.2 information center. The DWE installation program installs the DB2 UDB information center then adds the documentation plug-ins for DWE. You can also access the combined DB2 Version 8.1 and DWE Version 9.1 information center at:
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp
- DB2 Alphablox information center
- You can install the DB2 Alphablox Version 8.4 information center using the DWE installation program. You can also access the DB2 Alphablox 8.4 information center at:
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ablxhelp/v8r4m0/index.jsp 数据挖掘研究院
- WebSphere Application Server information center
- The information center for WebSphere Application Server is not included in the DWE installation program. You can access this information center and download the Eclipse plug-ins for it from:
