Hi,

We are facing a problem with connectivity between Alphablox
FastForward and DB2 Cubeviews.(Platform details are mentioned at the
end of message). We have created a cube definition on DB2 using
cubeviews and imported the same in Alphablox. We can successfully
query the cube using Alphablox query builder. Now we want to create
some custom reports, for which FastForward Application seems to be a
promising and easy approach. But we are unable to get the sample
application running. We have modified the timeschema.xml also, but
still it gives "timeschema not defined in cube <cubename>" error. One
sample template report which does not contain the timeschema blox
runs fine but others do not.

The documentation states a known issue that "FastForward applications
do not work with relational cubes" and there is no workaround
provided. So, does it mean that we can not use IBM DB2 UDB(with
cubeviews) with FastForward applications for OLAP applications?

If that is the case then there must be some way out to use such pre-
built applications/templates or do we need to make the whole
application from scratch? Also even if we decide to do it from scratch
will the timeschema blox still work(as its not working in
fastforward)?
Please suggest.

Development Environment:
Alphablox 8.4.0 on WinXP machine.
WebSphere Application Server 8.0 on WinXP machine.
DB2 8.1.10 & CubeViews 8.1.10 on win2000 machine.

Manish
