| Shrnutí: | M2 PRESSWIRE-22 August 2000-SUN MICROSYSTEMS: Industry leaders join forces to provide open OLAP data access specification; Hyperion, IBM, Oracle and Sun Microsystems lead the charge to deliver an open standard for multidimensional data access with Java technology (C)1994-2000 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD SUNNYVALE, CA -- Hyperion (NASDAQ: HYSL), IBM (NYSE: IBM), Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) and Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: SUNW) today announced plans for a new platform-independent standard for creating, storing, accessing and managing data and metadata in OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) servers. The proposed Java technology-based interface for On-Line Analytical Processing (JOLAP) will be developed through the Java Community Process (JCP) program, the community-based process for developing Java technology specifications, reference implementations and compatibility test suites. JOLAP will be designed to be the OLAP counterpart of the highly successful JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) Application Programming Interface (API) for data managed by relational databases. The Java technology development community will benefit from a single, industry-standard API that makes it possible to create business analysis applications that can be deployed across any JOLAP-compliant OLAP data source. In addition, vendors of OLAP servers supporting the JOLAP standard will be able to use a standard API that will be compatible with a wide range of applications and components running on the Java 2 platform. Initially proposed by Hyperion Solutions, JOLAP has quickly gained the support of IBM, Oracle, Sun Microsystems and other vendors who are working with Hyperion within the JCP Program. JOLAP leverages the widely endorsed Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM), providing interoperability between data warehousing and e-business tools, applications and repositories based on the Object Management Group open standards specifications. The interdependency of e-business and analytic applications heightens the urgency and significance of providing the Java technology development community with a simple, pervasive mechanism to work with OLAP data structures, said Mitch Kramer of the Patricia Seybold Group. Broad support for standards like JOLAP and CWM among leading e-business and data warehousing vendors is a positive and timely development in the evolution of the Internet economy. Closed loop systems that employ OLAP technology enable a thorough analysis of the customer interactions that drive ROI on e-business investments, said Jane Griffin, director of the Analytical Solutions Practice for Arthur Andersen Business Consulting. |
