The On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) feature has a lot of powerful functionality. It
gives the user capabilities normally found in query tools, reporting tools and of course
OLAP slice and dice functionality all while going against your DB2/400 database. There is
no need to create proprietary OLAP cubes and reformat your data. With the DB2 Web
Query OLAP feature you can slice and dice your operational data if you want real time
access or you can perform your analysis on a relational data mart. It is your choice. Nothing
is forced on you.
Simplify deployment, pure thin-client tools require no Java or plug-ins (and no Cubes
needed for OLAP analysis)
