e-Business Intelligence Front-End Tool Access to OS/390 Data Warehouse pdf

Based on the IBM e-Business Intelligence (BI) architectural 
framework, this IBM Redbook explains the building blocks required to 
connect front-end e-BI user tools to the OS/390 data warehouse or 
data mart. It also shows the Web integration in the architecture and 
the accessibility of the data warehouse from browser-based clients in 
an e-business environment. The book provides: 
   • An overview of the e-BI user connectivity and architectural 
framework on OS/390, as well as guidance on choosing the 
appropriate e-BI front-end user tool or e-BI user application based 
on end-user profiles.

   • Connectivity methodologies, contrasting Web-based middleware 
with traditional client/server middleware in 2-tier or N-tier solutions 
connecting users to the OS/390 data warehouse or data mart.
   • The steps needed to implement front-end e-BI user tools 
accessing the OS/390 data warehouse and OLAP data mart. We 
highlight the stumbling blocks and show the implementation steps
