...appendices Date: 2010-03-17 M.Sc. Thesis in Computer Engineering AV, 30 higher education credits Tools for Business Intelligence A comparison between Cognos 8 BI, Microsoft BI and SAP BW/NetWeaver Katarina Lundqvist Abstract 2010-03-17 Tools for Business Intelligence A comparison between Cognos 8 BI, Microsoft BI and SAP BW/NetWeaver Katarina Lundqvist Abstract The aim of the thesis was to conduct a general study of Business Intelligence and BI systems followed by a comparison of Cognos 8 BI, Microsoft BI and SAP BW/NetWeaver. The goal was to distinguish similarities and differences between the tools regarding technique, cost, usability and educational need and to provide a mapping for different customer situations. The method consisted of a theoretical study followed by a practical part including development, testing and interviews. The comparison showed that SAP and Microsoft both use the client/server model while Cognos is an integrated web-based system built on SOA. SQL Server can only be installed on Windows while BW and Cognos also support UNIX, Linux and IBM. SSRS report formats are HTML, PDF, CSV, XML, TIFF, Word and Excel. In BW, query results can be viewed as HTML, CSV and Excel. Cognos report formats are HTML, PDF, CSV, XML and Excel. The educational need for SQL Server and Cognos is low and may often be solved internally or through e-learning. In contrast, BW uses its own terminology and the enhanced star schema,...

...that all data is backed up. It is important to have data backups regularly and this is possible through SQL Server 2012. Policies and procedures need to be set in place in the event of a natural disaster, hardware loss or other unforeseen circumstances cause a loss in data. Database backup procedures need to be well defined and a copy of the backup needs to be stored at a secure location where it can be recovered. The loss of data to an organization can mean unnecessary delays in returning to normal business which in the end means loss of money. Within SQL Server 2012, there are two primary commands for backup, the primary command is BACKUP DATABASE (MSSQLtips.com, 2014). The BACKUP DATABASE command allows a backup to be completed of both databases and files (MSSQLtips.com, 2014). A full database backup includes all databases as well as the transaction log in case files are needed to be restored (Microsoft SQL Server, 2014). A full database backup is a mirror of the database at the time the backup finished. Backing up a large database can be time consuming as well as take up a lot of space. If backing up a large database is too time consuming, differential database backups can be completed (Microsoft SQL Server, 2014). It is important to note that for a full backup, it is not sufficient to just backup data but transaction logs must also be backed up (Microsoft SQL Server, 2014). An entire database can be restored in one step to any location. Restoring a database...

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Abstract Virtual Classroom represents an innovative shift in the field of learning, providing rapid access to specific knowledge and information. It represents an interface between the students and a professor and provides personalized learning materials to the users. It offers a possibility to the attendees to share different resources at once and work with them as if they were at the same place where (real) resources are. In the system design, we use agents as entities that work on different tasks in the system. A set of agents of the same type is responsible for handling different users and their requests. The cooperation among agents is established through the act of exchanging messages. A wide variety of classroom techniques are being advocated to increase learning: active learning, collaboration, integration of assessment...

...allows adding your own database fields and creating your own queries. The program supports different types of users - teacher users, IT department users and examination department users. All user access is controlled by passwords. System administrators are also allowed direct access to the database. Reason for using SQL Server 2008 R2: The database used is a SQL Server 2008 R2 database (but other versions of SQL may be used). A Microsoft Access data project may be used to create your own queries and reports. However, customization is usually not required since the program includes a large number of reports that are user configurable. Although not necessary to run the program, we can use SQL Server Management Studio Express (free) to maintain the database. University includes a program for single users to backup and restore the database and the network version includes a program for automating backups and attaching and detaching the database. Management Studio Express can be used to create and manage logins, modify tables, create stored procedures, import and export data and run queries. Features: * Supports XCopy deployment (run from a removable USB drive). SQL Express must be installed on each computer. * Additional licenses may be added at any time. * Optional web browser interface. * Easy to use toolbar and tree view interface. Easily drill down to get the desired data without having to run a report. * Several different methods available for teachers to...

...1.) You are developing a project that contains multiple SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages. The packages will be deployed to the SSIS catalog. One of the steps in each package accesses an FTP site to download sales transaction data. You create project parameters to store the username and password that are used to access the FTP site. You need to ensure that the username and password values are encrypted when they are deployed. What should you do? A. set the Sensitive property of the parameters to True. B. Set the ProtectionLevel property of the package to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey. C. Change the parameters to package parameters. D. Change the project to the Legacy Deployment model. Answer: A 2.) You develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that imports SQL data into a data warehouse every night. The SQL data contains many misspellings and variations of abbreviations. To import the data, a developer used the Fuzzy Lookup transformation to choose the closest-matching string from a reference table of allowed values. The number of rows in the reference table is very large. If no acceptable match is found, the Fuzzy Lookup transformation passes a null value. The current setting for the Fuzzy Lookup similarity threshold is 0.50. Many values are incorrectly matched. You need to ensure that more accurate matches are made by the Fuzzy Lookup transformation without degrading performance. What should you do? A. Change the Exhaustive property to True...

...Running head: DATABASE AND DATA WAREHOUSING DESIGN Database and Data Warehousing Design Yolanda McCollum Dr. Constance D. Blanson CIS499: Information Systems Capstone February 11, 2014 Database and Data Warehousing Design Why does one need data warehousing? According to Total Metrics (2013): 1. The prime purpose of a Data Warehouse is to store, in one system, data and information that originates from multiple applications within, or across, organizations. The data may be stored ‘as received’ from the source application, or it may be processed upon input to validate, translate, aggregate, or derive new data/information. 2. Most of the data load functions are processed in batch. There are few on-line data maintenance functions. The on-line functions that do exist tend to update the reference files and data translation tables. 3. A database alone does not constitute a Data Warehouse system. At a minimum, a Data Warehouse system must include the database and corresponding load functions. Data reporting functions are optional. They may, or may not be an integral part of the Data Warehouse system. 4. The prime purpose of storing the data is to support the information reporting requirements of an organization i.e. multiple users and multiple applications. 5. The Data Warehouse may, or may not, provide the required reporting functions. In some cases, external applications access the Data Warehouse files to generate their own reports and queries. 6. Data Warehouse...

...Acme Global Consulting CIS 111 August 25, 2013 Hello sirs, my name is , I am forwarding this correspondence to give you options pertaining to your database management system or DBMS. One of these options is to install an Entity Relationship Model or E-R model DBMS, the reason I am suggesting an E-R model is there are a number of advantages to installing and managing this type of DBMS in your company. I will provide you with information on the advantages of them in this proposal. In this fast paced and competitive business world you want to make the instruments your company uses simple and easy to use. This will allow for your employees to be more efficient and productive in their daily workday schedule. All of us are keenly aware that productivity is one of the many keys to a successful business. One of the advantages is that the structure of an E-R model DBMS is the ease of use in that system. This allows the users of it to communicate with each other on a basis that isn’t as technical as some others, this will allow for fewer mistakes during the data entry and throughout the workforce and workday. The structure of this type of DBMS model allows software programmers and data entry employees to be able to communicate and interact with each other more easily and effectively should problems arise. This allows for a greater and more efficient workflow because the different employee groups will understand each other and be able to solve different issues that may arise...
