Data Mart Manager (IA10.1)

Use Data Mart Manager (IA10.1) to define the data mart. You must set up the data mart before you can define the dimensions in the database outline, define the database load profile, and populate the data mart using the data mart build programs.

This form lets you name the application and the data marts included in the application, specify the data mart type that provides data to the database, specify the Lawson server where the data mart resides, and specify whether the data mart should be rebuilt if users make changes to either the data values or the data mart outline.

IMPORTANT Only use alphanumeric characters in your data mart name and description. Do not use special characters. The first character cannot be a number.
