In multidimensional databases like Jedox, managing dimensions and hierarchies effectively is crucial for accurate data analysis and reporting. Consolidations, which define parent-child relationships within dimensions, are an important part of this process. In this post, we’ll explore how to automate the creation of base and consolidated elements using Groovy scripting in Jedox ETL. We’ll also dive into a practical business use case to showcase the power of this approach. The Problem: Automating Dimension Hierarchies Managing dimension hierarchies manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors, especially when dealing with dynamic or frequently changing datasets. Using Groovy in Jedox ETL, we can automate the creation and management of elements and their consolidations. This makes the process faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain. Below is a Groovy script that demonstrates how to: Connect to a database and retrieve a dimension. Create base elements and a parent element. Add consolidations between the parent and its child elements. Java documentation here. The Script: Building Base and Consolidations in Jedox Here’s the...
