MDX Querying on ROLAP semantic models

Kyvos now supports browsing the ROLAP semantic models using both MDX and SQL.  

For this, you need to first Raw Data Querying as Enable, as shown below.

Open

After designing the semantic model, you must run the Process Full Data job type and select the Metadata Only from the Data Processing Type Metadata list.

Points to know when using the ‘Metadata only’ option

• Supports only when Raw Data Querying is enabled on Kyvos Web Portal, as shown above.

• Supports only with Process Full Data job.

• Does not support kyvos.process.compute.type=External Compute  

• Does not support if materialized and some non-materialized elements exist in the semantic model (HOLAP) 

• If you set the property’s value as 0, ROLAP semantic models with metadata will not be displayed.

  • Semantic model listing behavior: 

    • All semantic models with raw data querying enabled will be listed.

    • All system entities will be listed. 

  • Semantic model browsing behavior:  

    • Kyvos will generate SQL query.  

    • Semantic model processed with metadata only option will be treated as ROLAP semantic model and queries having calculated measures will fail. 

• If you set the property’s value as 1, ROLAP semantic models with metadata will be displayed.

  • Semantic model listing behavior: 

    • Unprocessed semantic models will not be listed.   

    • All semantic models processed with metadata and aggregate option and raw data querying enabled will not be listed. This is for old HOLAP semantic model.

    • All processed semantic models with raw data querying disabled or only Drill through selected will be listed.  

    • All semantic models processed with metadata only options will be listed.  

    • All system entities will be listed.

  • Semantic model browsing behavior:

    • Kyvos will generate SQL queries for system entities and Drill through.  

    • Kyvos will generate MDX queries for all other cases.
