                            Application Type

The Data Mart Type (APPLICTYPE) file stores the names of the Lawson
applications that can be requested to supply information to the data mart. The
information in this file comes from IA100 (Data Mart Type Load) or IA01.1
(Data Mart Types).

The Lawson data marts currently available are:

FIN = Financial Data Mart
FND = Daily Reporting Data Mart
AC = Activity Data Mart
CMP = Compensation Data Mart
SA = Sales Performance Data Mart
CX = Case Carts Data Mart
PO = Purchasing Data Mart
WO = Work Order Data Mart

IAA-APPLIC-TYPE      Alpha 3
Data Mart Type       The Application Type file stores the
                     names of the Lawson applications that
                     can be requested to supply information
                     to the OLAP database. The Lawson
                     applications that are currently
                     OLAP-ready are:

                     FIN = Financial Analyzer
                     FND = Daily Financial Analyzer
                     SA = Sales Analyzer
                     CX = Case Cart Analyzer
                     PO = Purchasing Analyzer
                     WO = Work Order Analyzer

IAA-DESCRIPTION      Alpha 30  (Lower Case)
Description          The Description field contains a
                     description of the data mart type.

IAA-DEFN-PROGRAM     Alpha 5
Definition Program   The Data Mart Setup Program field
                     contains the name of the program that
                     provides the dimensions, members, and
                     data selection parameters required by
                     the data mart.

IAA-META-PROGRAM     Alpha 6
Outline Load Program The Outline Build Program field
                     contains the name of the program that
                     the Analytic Architect system calls to
                     supply the outline (description of the
                     data) to the data mart. This may be the
                     same program as the data values load
                     program.

IAA-DATA-PROGRAM     Alpha 6
Data Values Load     The Data Values Load program is the
Program              program that the Analytic Architect
                     system calls to supply the data values
                     to the data mart. This may be the same
                     program as the Outline Build program.

IAA-APPLIC-OWNER     Alpha 1
Application Owner    The Application Owner field specifies
                     the owner of the application that is
                     supplying data to the data mart.

                     Valid values are:
                     L = Lawson
                     U = User-defined

IAA-META-LOAD-PATH   Alpha 2
Outline Load Path    The Outline Build Path field specifies
                     the system responsible for delivering
                     the outline to the data mart. If IA is
                     specified, the outline build program
                     writes the outline to an ISAM file and
                     the Analytic Architect system builds the
                     outline using the information in this
                     file. If AP is selected, the outline
                     build program builds the outline
                     directly.

                     Valid values are:
                     IA = Analytic Architect system
                     AP = Data mart outline build program

IAA-META-INC-LOAD    Alpha 1
Incremental Outline  The Incremental Outline Load field
Build                specifies whether incremental outline
                     builds are allowed for the specified
                     data mart type.

                     Valid values are:
                     Y = Yes
                     N = No

IAA-DATA-INC-LOAD    Alpha 1
Incremental Data     The Incremental Data Load field
Load                 specifies whether incremental data loads
                     are allowed for the specified data mart
                     type.

                     Valid values are:
                     Y = Yes
                     N = No

IAA-META-OVERRIDE    Alpha 1
Outline Override     The Outline Override field specifies
                     whether the data mart outline can be
                     overwritten when the data mart is built.
                     If overrides are allowed, the names of
                     the outline dimensions that are
                     specified on the IA11.1 (Data Mart
                     Profiles) form are the only dimensions
                     that are updated when the data mart is
                     built.

                     Valid values are:
                     Y = Yes
                     N = No; Default value.

IAA-DATA-OVERRIDE    Alpha 1
Data Values Override This field is not currently being used.
                     Y = Yes
                     N = No

IAA-ALLOW-MOVE       Alpha 1
Move Window          The Allow Move field indicates whether
                     the Outline Dimension Move window is
                     accessible for this data mart type. The
                     Outline Dimension Move window lets you
                     specify the dimension that, in the
                     outline, precedes the dimension that you
                     are moving.

                     Valid values are:
                     Y = Yes
                     N = No; Default value.

IAA-DATA-LOAD-NAME   Alpha 12  (Lower Case)
Data Source          The Data Source Name field contains the
                     unique name for the source containing
                     the data values you are loading. You can
                     define multiple data sources for a
                     single data mart. Examples of data
                     sources are programs or rules files.
                     This user-defined name can contain up to
                     12 characters of any kind.
