Connecting to MDX Cube Sources

While MicroStrategy handles most of the conversion processes necessary to integrate with MDX cube source data, you must establish the connection between MicroStrategy and your MDX cube source. MicroStrategy connects to SAP BW using SAP's OLAP Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) and to other sources using XML for Analysis (XMLA). These configurations require modifications to projects, project sources, database instances, and other objects in MicroStrategy.

For troubleshooting and diagnostics related to MDX cube sources, see the Troubleshooting section of the System Administration Help.
