First Login & Orientation

After Casabase Cube has been installed and your Snowflake role has been granted the appropriate Casabase Cube application role, you can open the application from Snowflake.

  1. Sign in to Snowsight.
  2. Open the installed applications available in your Snowflake account.
  3. Select Casabase Cube.
  4. Casabase Cube opens to its Home page.

The Home page is the starting point for Casabase Cube.

For a new environment, the page provides a Get Started workflow that can guide an Oracle Essbase or Oracle Cloud EPM migration.

At a high level:

Import Outline
Build Dimension Structures
Import Native Level-0 Data
Query the Cube

Each applicable step can also expose a SQL alternative for scripted or automated workflows.

See 5-Minute Quick Start for the complete walkthrough.

The exact labels can evolve as the application UI changes, but the primary areas include functionality for:

Area Purpose
Home Entry point and guided setup workflows.
Query Builder Build and run multidimensional queries visually.
Cube Config Create cubes and manage cube and dimension configuration.
Variables & Saved Queries Manage cube variables and reusable query definitions.
Administration Manage application security, governance, diagnostics, and operational functions.
Log / Audit information Review available application activity and operational information.
Help Access product guidance from within the application.

Some areas are visible only to users with administrative privileges.

Casabase Cube provides two primary application roles.

CUBE_PUBLIC is intended for users and applications that need query and discovery capabilities.

Typical activities include:

  • Running multidimensional queries
  • Using Query Builder
  • Discovering cubes and dimensions
  • Reading supported secure views

CUBE_ADMIN inherits CUBE_PUBLIC and adds modeling and administrative capabilities.

Typical activities include:

  • Creating and configuring cubes
  • Creating and rebuilding dimensions
  • Loading data
  • Managing formulas
  • Managing security
  • Scheduling supported operations
  • Reviewing administrative information

See Roles and Privileges for details.

Migrating from Oracle Essbase or Oracle Cloud EPM

Section titled “Migrating from Oracle Essbase or Oracle Cloud EPM”

Use the Home-page Get Started workflow.

You will generally need:

  • The native Essbase outline (.otl)
  • A native level-0 data export
  • A Snowflake stage accessible to Casabase Cube for the data import

Start with 5-Minute Quick Start.

For source-specific instructions, see:

Oracle Essbase or Cloud EPM is not required.

Casabase Cube can create a multidimensional model from Snowflake data using dimension definition tables and cube configuration.

See Creating a Cube from Snowflake Data.
