Slowly Moving Dimensions

Slowly changing Dimensions:
This is a small blog and its intended audience is everyone ( beginners and exp guys).By the topic of it ,I know readers must be surprised and say
“It’s a datawarehousing concept,so why is it here?”
You are right, it’s a datawarehousing concept and many of them ,who had worked on warehousing or who are familiar with data warehousing might be aware of this .
But , our question still remains
“What is it doing here?”
In our newer version of Essbase 11, of many new features , we have a new feature called “Varying Attributes”.This varying attributes is close to SCD’s of dimensional modelling ( SCD:Slowly changing dimensions).
The new feature of “Varying Attributes” helps a user in his analyses even further.I shall talk more on varyign attributes and how does it enhance the tool and helpful to user for his analyses in my next blog.
You can also find a podcast on “Varying attributes” in
