Web-enabling a Client/Server OLAP Application Using SAS/IntrNetR Software's MDDB Report Viewer
Posted 2002

Abstract: SAS/IntrNet's MDDB Report Viewer (MRV) enables users to obtain multidimensional reports and graphs via their web browsers. We chose to web-enable an existing client/server OLAP application using the MRV because of the appropriate fit, the expected quick conversion time, and the additional functionality provided. During the development effort we realized that we needed to customize the MRV in order to replicate an important feature of the client/server application. We also wished to alter the default appearance of the MRV. Qualex Consulting Services, Inc. provided the technical expertise in the development of these MRV enhancements.
