Applications
gain access to SAS OLAP cubes through ActiveX Data Objects –
Multidimensional (ADO MD). ADO MD is an industry-standard programming
interface to multidimensional data. It offers the same functionality
as OLE DB for OLAP, but in a simpler programming model. Accessing
SAS OLAP cubes through ADO MD requires the SAS OLAP Data Provider,
which is a component of SAS Integration Technologies. The SAS OLAP
Data Provider is installed with the SAS Integration Technologies Client
for Windows. See the
SAS Providers for OLE DB: Cookbook for more
information about IOM data provider usage with ADO MD.
