What is the difference between SSAS & Data Mart? Is SSAS required to create BI Dashboard in SharePoint 2013?

Hello All,
Greetings for the day.!
What is the main feature wise difference between SQL Server Analysis Service & Data Mart? Can we create BI Dashboard in SharePoint 2013 without creating SSAS & Measures?
Thanks,
msdn.microsoft.com

Hi jdoshi65, 
This is a very long-to-answer question :) 
A Data Mart is a subset of a Data Warehouse, specifically designed for a department for example, or to support certain reports. The Data Warehouse is where ALL the data available for analysis in your company is, is a super set from the Data Mart.
Then, we have SQL Server Analysis Services, which is a service which ships with SQL Server. It builds, ON TOP of the Data Warehouse or the Data Mart (or both) an OLAP solution in order to improve and enrich the reports, analytics and insights coming from
the data in the Data Warehouse / Data Mart. 
That's the big picture, but: 
- Is it necessary to have a Data Warehouse or a Data Mart to use SQL Server Analysis Services? NO
- Is it necessary to have SQL Server Analysis services to query and create reports from a Data Warehouse / Data Mart? NO
So, answering your question, there is no difference between SQL Service Analysis Services and a Data Mart because they are different things.
Then, yes, you can create a BI Dashboard in SharePoint 2013 without a SSAS cube behind. You can just use SQL Server Reporting Services or Performance Point Services to build dashboards in SharePoint 2013.
Regards.

  • What is the Difference Between Sys Date and Effective Date ??

    Hi Gurus,
    Can any one pls let me know What is the Difference Between Sys Date and Effective Date ??
    with regards
    User600722

    EFFECTIVE DATE usually refers to a date-tracked record (although not exclusively).
    Date-tracked records in Oracle HR have an EFFECTIVE START DATE and an EFFECTIVE END DATE. The record is 'EFFECTIVE' between these dates. In reports, you often use SYSDATE to compare to these two dates to find the CURRENT effective record, e.g. SYSDATE BETWEEN EFFECTIVE START DATE AND EFFECTIVE END DATE.
    When you make changes to a HR record, you can choose between DATE TRACKING options, such as CORRECT or UPDATE (there are others too). CORRECT will overwrite the record and replace the data with your changes. This is normally used when you need to correct something that is wrong. UPDATE will create a new version of the record from the EFFECTIVE START DATE you choose. It will also set the EFFECTIVE END DATE of the previous record to the day before your new record's EFFECTIVE START DATE. That enables a history of records to be maintained so you can see what your data looked like at ay one point in time.

  • What's the difference between "Received" & "Date" columns?

    The entries in TB's "Received" and "Date" columns re usually the same; when they differ it's by no more than a few minutes. I'm wondering, what do these columns show exactly? Why do we need these two categories? It obviously has something to do with header lines, but I haven't been able to track this down.

    one is the date the message is sent, the other the arrival time.

    Well, then it would be a lot clearer if the label "Date" were "Date Sent".

  • What's the differences between GL date and accounting date?

    If there is anything different please let me know .
    If they are the same. why the system distinguish them?
    thanks

    These are different, though I can understand some confusion, since so much of the time they will end up being the same value. What you will find if you look at the Oracle tables is that these dates may be stored in different places in Oracle, as Oracle stores them matching up to either the accounted process or the g/l posting process.

  • What is the difference between Data Warehousing and Big Data?

    What is the difference between Big Data and
    Data Warehousing? are they the same? similar? if no, then when to use each of them?
    Any link to a paper that describes the difference?!

    Big Data is a term applied to data sets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used tools to capture, manage and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. But Data-warehouse is a collection of data marts representing historical data from different
    operations in the company.
    It means Big Data is collection of large data in a particular manner but Data-warehouse collect data from different department of a organization. However Data-warehouse require efficient managing technique. Conceptually these are same only at one factor that
    they collect large amount of information
    For Big Data - You can start researching on HDInsight and for Datawarehouse check MSBI

  • What is the difference between LayoutManager and LayoutManager2?

    Hello,
    Can I know "What is the difference between LayoutManager and LayoutManager2?" Why was LayoutManager2 created when there is LayoutManager which does the layout creation? Where can I use both of them, especially LayoutManger2?
    Thanks

    Did you read the API???
    Defines an interface for classes that know how to layout Containers based on a layout constraints objectFor example BorderLayout uses LayoutManager2, which allows your to position individual components using the known constraints:
    panel.add(Component, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    panel.add(Component, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    Whereas, FlowLayout or GridLayout don't allow you to use constraints, components are displayed in the order they are added:
    panel.add(component1):
    panel.add(component2);
    You only care about this when you are writing your own LayoutManager.

  • What is the difference between /assets/account/import and /data/account ?

    Does anybody knows what is the use of /assets/account/import and /data/account.
    What is the difference between these two and their functional use.
    thanks

    /assets/account/import is used in the context of performing account file uploads through the E10 UI. If you navigate to Contacts > Accounts > and click Upload in the top right corner (above search), you'll get the upload wizard:
    The moment you click the cloud icon and select a file, two actions take place:
    1) POST to /assets/account/import is made, where you are passing the name, import source and purpose of the import. The response includes the id of the new import object you created
    2) Another POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/csv is made, which includes the data in your chosen file
    Afterwards, you perform the mappings and go to step 4 of the wizard. When you click Finish, another two actions take place:
    1) PUT /assets/account/import/{id} to update the import definition with your mappings from Step 3
    2) POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/queue to send this import into the import/upload queue. At this point it becomes visible from Setup > Integration > Inbound > Reporting > Upload History
    Note that this workflow is not meant for client use, but rather helps facilitate UI functionality for marketing users. You should be using Bulk API to add or update records, which also confers other advantages such as the ability to use syncActions. The only functionality not available in Bulk API which is available through this workflow is the ability to delete Accounts. For obvious reasons, its recommend that you do NOT automate the deletion of any records. Accounts especially are not subject to any band limits or rates, so its best to have Marketers remove them as needed.
    Regarding the second part of your question, the /data/accounts endpoint will provide you with up to 1000 account records when using GET. A POST can also be made to create a new account record (company) within Eloqua. Otherwise, GET /data/account/{id} will retrieve the details of a particular record and PUT /data/account{id} will update a particular.

  • What is the difference between data base objects and runtime objects

    What is the difference between data base objects and runtime objects

    Hi raja,
    data base objects means u can have the presence of these objects in the database.So the tables,searchhelps,structures,lockobjects comes under these ones.
    Runtime objects are created and destroyed after the program ends, any changes we make to them are temporary only.

  • What is the difference  between  data file  & control file

    what is the difference  between  data file  & control file

    Dear Deba s
    Control file
    Every Oracle Database has a control file, which is a small binary file that records the physical structure of the database. The control file includes:
    The database name
    Names and locations of associated datafiles and redo log files
    The timestamp of the database creation
    The current log sequence number
    Checkpoint information
    For more info look into these
    [Control File Basic|http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/control.htm#i1006143]
    Data File
    You manage Data File in your Oracle database as part of Space Management. You can extend, create, drop, and alter tablespaces.
    You especially need to avoid tablespace overflow, which is when a tablespace runs out of freespace in the allocated file or files. This happens when an object requires a new extent but there is either no freespace or insufficient freespace in the tablespace
    For more info look into these links

  • HT4203 what is the difference between turning off "enable 3G" and "cellular data"

    what is the difference between turning off "enable 3G" and "cellular data"?

    Turning enable 3G off turns 3G network access off. This does not prevent the iPhone from internet access via your carrier's EDGE or GPRS network which is much slower.
    Turning Cellular Data off turns cellular data off completely. No internet access via your carrier's cellular network.

  • The Difference between "Cell Data" and "Dimension Data"?

    What is the difference between the tab "Cell Data" and "Dimension Data" in SSAS?

    Article quote: " SSAS provides the way to secure analysis services database/cube data from unauthorized access. Analysis services provides secure access by creating object called "roles". After creation of role, user's windows login credential can be used
    to enroll into particular role because analysis services identifies user from their windows login credentials . You can protect your data in roles at two levels:
    1) Dimension level
    2) Cell level
    If user has been assigned more than one role, analysis services loop through all assigned roles after login. Analysis services finds all permission level for the particular user and  union all the permission levels.
    If two roles has contradictory access for user then particular access will be allowed. Suppose role1 says Australia data access and role2 denies Australia data access then access to Australia data will be allowed. "

  • What is the difference between Open hub destination and Info spokes

    what is the difference between Open hub destination and Info spokes?
    Please seacrh the forum before posting a thread
    Edited by: Pravender on Aug 16, 2010 11:17 AM

    Hi,
    When a user initiates open hub extraction by creating an InfoSpoke, behind-the-scenes activity involves OO ABAP which is calling classes to determine each of the different components involved in making the open hub extraction possible.  In particular, this enhancement will focus on 2 standard classes: one used to determine file destination name and path and the other to control the user interface of the InfoSpoke which will ultimately allow the user to enter his/her own filename and path.
    The open hub service enables us to distribute data from an SAP BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, we can ensure controlled distribution using several systems.
    The central object for the export of data is the InfoSpoke. Using this, we can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred.
