BI Accelerator generators (SSABI)

When you install the Accelerator it only has the ProClarity Generator.
is there any other available?
That was the only one written. Obviously you can still use other client
tools. The ability of the generator was only to customize existing reports
if you rolled out changes to the names of dimensions, levels, etc. -- other
than that -- any front-end tool can be used. Plus I think that the version
of Proclarity we used is now quite old. I don't know if it will work with
the latest version.
All-in-all, I don't believe that this was a frequently used feature of the
product.

|||Thanks Dave, I thought it was a tool to autogenerate some reports, but based
on your response, I understand it is of limited use.
Thanks again.

|||It is more about autogenerating a BI solution. You enter in a
multi-dimensional design, i.e. cubes, dimensions, levels, etc. into the
spreadsheet -- click on the "Generate" button and we generated the
supporting relational and Analysis services objects, DTS packages, etc. that
support that design.
It was designed as a supporting tool for quick prototyping and
proff-of-concept systems that have the basic infrastructure and best
practices to then go into production.
The tailoring of existing reports fits into that as a final step for
customization, but we found that by-hand work is probable more important as
that is what the end-users will finally see -- thus it makes sense that most
of your time should be spent in that area. One of our basic tenets was that
infrastructure is something which soaks up too much time when intially
generating BI solutions -- that consultants and architects should spend more
time on design and front-end, end-user facing components -- which is what
the BI Accelerator tool allows them to do.
