Environment

NetIQ Analysis Center 2.x

Situation

Why are the sizes of the DataMart and Data Warehouse significantly different?

Resolution

The Analysis Center DataMart database is typically much larger than the AC_Warehouse database. The DataMart database stores the AppManager repository data and ArchiveData tables. When Analysis Center populates the OLAP cubes, the program accesses this data using linked servers.  The AC_Warehouse database does not directly contain the fact data.
