Generation of aggregatable dimension information within a multidimensional enterprise software system

摘要

Techniques are described for generating dimension information in hierarchical form. A computer-implemented system, for example, includes a data store having multidimensional data. The multidimensional data includes a data cube having a dimension. The system further includes an executable software module that accesses the data store and generates hierarchy data describing a hierarchy of the dimension of the data cube. The software module generates the hierarchy data so that the hierarchy data is guaranteed to aggregate to totals represented within the data cube.
