Retrieving Data from a Local MOLAP Cube
PivotTable® Service connects to the local cube file in the same way that it connects to any other data source. PivotTable Service processes queries against the local cube file and returns data to the application. The client application can access the dimensions, levels, properties, and so on of a particular cube. No connection to a remote server is required, except to create the cube. This diagram illustrates communication between PivotTable Service and a local MOLAP cube file.
Retrieving Data from a Local Data Mining Model
PivotTable Service connects to a data mining model in the same way it connects to any other data source. Prediction queries can be passed to a local data mining model in the same fashion as they are made and passed to a server model. A connection to a remote server is not required, except to create the mining model file.
