Course overview
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.

Prerequisites
Before attending this course, students must have:

• Conceptual understanding of OLAP solutions
• Experience navigating the Microsoft Windows Server environment
• Experience with Windows services (starting and stopping)
• Experience creating service accounts and permissions
• Experience with Microsoft SQL Server, including:
  - SQL Server Agent
  - SQL Server query language (SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE)
  - SQL Server System tables
  - SQL Server accounts (users and permissions)
