Macro

Overview

A Macro is an AnalyticsCreator design object that stores reusable statement logic.

Other objects can call a macro instead of repeating the same expression, filter, or statement.

Function

Use macros to centralize reusable logic and to keep transformation or table expressions consistent.

A macro has a language, an optional referenced-table context, and a statement body. Macros can also call other macros.

Attributes

Attributes define the configuration, behavior, and relationships of the macro entity.

Attribute	Applies to	Description
Name	Macro	Required name used when the macro is referenced.
Description	Macro	Documents the purpose of the macro.
Language	Macro	Determines how the statement is interpreted.

design (stg, core, dm) core concept analyticscreator is a metadata-driven design application that generates sql-based data warehouse structures, transformation logic, and orchestration components. instead of manually implementing etl processes, developers define metadata, which is translated into executable database objects and pipelines. the process follows a generation-driven approach: connect to source systems import metadata (tables, columns, keys, relationships) generate a draft data warehouse model using the wizard refine transformations, keys, and historization generate and deploy sql artifacts and pipelines execute data loading and processing workflows a key architectural element is the persistent staging layer (stg): source data is stored persistently after extraction supports reprocessing without re-reading the source system decouples ingestion from transformation and historization in practice, staging is followed by a second layer where historization is applied before data is transformed into core structures (dimensions and facts). quick start flow the implementation process in analyticscreator follows a defined sequence: create repository initialize a metadata repository (sql server database) that stores all definitions of the data warehouse. create connectors define connections to source systems (e.g. sap, sql server) and enable metadata extraction. import metadata and run wizard automatically read source structures and generate a draft data warehouse model (stg, core, dm). refine the model adjust business keys, surrogate keys, relationships, historization behavior, and transformations. synchronize generate sql objects (tables, views, procedures) and materialize the structure in the target database. deploy generate and

which makes it possible to model a data warehouse without an active connection to the live source system during design. imported metadata is stored in the repository and later used by the wizard to generate the draft warehouse model. at this stage, no warehouse data has been loaded yet. only structure and metadata are being captured. the wizard the data warehouse wizard is the central acceleration mechanism in analyticscreator. it analyzes source metadata and generates a draft warehouse model automatically. depending on the selected approach, this can be a dimensional model, a data vault model, or a mixed approach. the wizard can create staging structures, historization layers, dimensions, facts, calendar dimensions, and default relationships based on detected metadata. the generated model is not the end result. it is the baseline that developers refine and validate. the main engineering work happens after generation, when keys, joins, historization behavior, measures, and transformations are adjusted to fit the intended warehouse design. warehouse layers analyticscreator supports a layered warehouse architecture from source to presentation. in a typical setup, this includes source objects, staging, persistent staging or historization, core transformations, data marts, and semantic or reporting layers. it can also generate analytical models for tools such as power bi. persistent staging a key architectural concept is the persistent staging layer. source data is first imported into staging structures and then stored persistently for further processing. this persistent layer is used for historization and for decoupling source extraction from downstream transformations. it allows data to be reprocessed without repeatedly reading the source system. in dimensional scenarios, historized tables typically include surrogate keys together with valid-from and valid-to columns. in data vault and hybrid scenarios, additional hash-based keys and references can be generated in the staging layer as persisted calculated columns and then reused in later layers. transformations transformations in analyticscreator are usually generated as sql views based on metadata definitions. these definitions specify source tables, joins, selected columns, macros, and transformation rules. in many cases, the default generated view logic is sufficient as a starting point, but it can be refined through metadata rather than by rewriting generated sql directly. analyticscreator also supports reusable macros for standard sql logic, such as date-to-calendar-key conversion or hash key generation. this allows repeated logic to be defined once and reused consistently across the model. synchronization, deployment, and execution these three steps are related but different and should not be confused. synchronization synchronization materializes the metadata model into sql objects in the target database. this creates the database structure defined in analyticscreator, such as tables, views, and procedures. it does not mean that business data has already been loaded. :contentreference[oaicite:13]{index=13} deployment deployment creates and distributes deployable artifacts for the selected target environment. these can include sql database packages, ssis packages, azure data factory pipelines, and semantic models. deployment prepares the environment but still does not imply that source data has already been processed. execution execution runs the generated workflows and pipelines. this is the step where source data is actually extracted, written to staging, historized where required, transformed into core structures, and exposed through data marts and semantic models. in azure scenarios, this may happen through azure data factory. in on-premise scenarios, this may happen through ssis. consumption after execution, the data warehouse can be consumed through data marts and semantic models. these structures are intended for reporting and analytics, while lower layers such as staging and historization should remain implementation layers rather than direct reporting interfaces. analyticscreator can generate tabular models and structures for tools such as power bi. design implications the repository is the source of truth metadata drives generation, not manual sql-first development the wizard creates a baseline, not a final production model persistent staging is part of the architecture, not just a temporary landing area synchronization, deployment, and execution are separate steps consumption should happen from data marts or semantic models, not from staging layers key takeaway analyticscreator works by storing warehouse definitions as metadata, generating sql and orchestration artifacts from that metadata, and then deploying and executing those artifacts in the target environment."}

your data warehouse repository and ensuring accuracy in your projects. below are key basic operations you can perform within the interface: edit mode and saving - data warehouse editor single object editing: in the data warehouse repository, you can edit one object at a time. this ensures precision and reduces the risk of unintended changes across multiple objects. how to edit: double-click on any field within an object to enter edit mode. the selected field becomes editable, allowing you to make modifications. save prompt: if any changes are made, a prompt will appear, reminding you to save your modifications before exiting the edit mode. this safeguard prevents accidental loss of changes. unsaved changes: while edits are immediately reflected in the repository interface, they are not permanently saved until explicitly confirmed by clicking the save button. accessing views in data warehouse explorer layer-specific views: each layer in the data warehouse contains views generated by analyticscreator. these views provide insights into the underlying data structure and transformations applied at that layer. how to access: navigate to the data warehouse explorer and click on the view tab for the desired layer. this displays the layer's contents, including tables, fields, and transformations. adding and deleting objects adding new objects: navigate to the appropriate section (e.g., tables, layers, or connectors) in the navigation tree. right-click and select add [object type] to create a new object. provide the necessary details, such as name, description, and configuration parameters. save the object. deleting objects: select the object in the navigation tree and right-click to choose delete. confirm the deletion when prompted. â ď¸ note: deleting an object may affect dependent objects or configurations. filtering and searching in data warehouse explorer filtering: use filters to narrow down displayed objects by criteria such as name, type, or

Historization with AnalyticsCreator","description":"","searchText":"user guide working with analyticscreator historization with analyticscreator historization in analyticscreator is applied after source import and before downstream analytical modeling. source data is first loaded into staging, then written into a persistent staging or historization layer, and only then used in core and datamart transformations. historization in analyticscreator table historization stores changing records with validity periods and surrogate keys. this page focuses on that pattern. column historization individual columns can use full history, equal-only behavior, or no change tracking. transformation historization downstream transformations can consume historized data as current-state, snapshot-based, or full historical output. join historization historized joins can apply different validity rules when combining time-dependent structures. purpose explain how analyticscreator stores and processes changing data over time so that previous states remain available for analysis and downstream processing. design principle analyticscreator treats historization as a warehouse-layer concern, not a reporting-layer concern. source data is imported first historization is applied in persistent staging downstream transformations consume historized data this design separates source extraction from change tracking and allows historical states to be reused across multiple downstream transformations. inputs / outputs inputs imported source table or source query in staging key definition used to identify records across loads column-level historization settings missing-source behavior optional filters and variables outputs historized table in persistent staging valid-from column valid-to column generated surrogate key generated historization stored procedure optional snapshot-aware downstream transformations internal mechanics 1. import first, historize second analyticscreator first imports source data into a staging table. historization is executed after the import step, not during initial extraction. 2. historized table structure a historized table typically contains: business key or source key tracked attributes valid-from field valid-to field surrogate key field this is the standard scd type 2 structure used to preserve previous states of a record. 3. column-level historization behavior historization is configurable per column. analyticscreator supports different behaviors per attribute: full history – changes create new historical versions equal only / scd1-style – current value is updated without creating a history row none – the column is ignored for change tracking this allows mixed historization strategies within the same object. 4. missing-source behavior analyticscreator allows explicit handling of records that disappear from the source: close the current record by setting the end of validity leave the current record open optionally insert an empty record to avoid timeline gaps this is important when rows can temporarily disappear and reappear later. 5. generated historization procedure historization logic is generated as a stored procedure. the procedure is specific to the object configuration and can be reviewed or extended if required. 6. downstream consumption downstream transformations can consume historized data in different ways: actual only – only the currently valid row is used snapshot – rows are selected based on a snapshot date between valid-from and valid-to full historical – all historical states remain available types / variants column-level change tracking full history equal only none missing-source behavior close validity keep open add empty record consumption behavior current-state only snapshot-based full historical access example assume a staging table contains customer data: stg_customer ( customer_id, name, city ) a historized table generated from it may look like this: pst_customer_history ( sats_id bigint, customer_id int, name nvarchar(100), city nvarchar(100), date_from datetime, date_to datetime ) a representative scd type 2 pattern is: -- close current row when tracked attributes changed update tgt set date_to = @load_ts from pst_customer_history tgt join stg_customer src on tgt.customer_id = src.customer_id and tgt.date_to is null where isnull(tgt.name, '') <> isnull(src.name, '') or isnull(tgt.city, '') <> isnull(src.city, ''); -- insert new current row insert into pst_customer_history ( customer_id, name, city, date_from, date_to ) select src.customer_id, src.name, src.city, @load_ts, null from stg_customer src left join pst_customer_history tgt on tgt.customer_id = src.customer_id and tgt.date_to is null where tgt.customer_id is null or isnull(tgt.name, '') <> isnull(src.name, '') or isnull(tgt.city, '') <> isnull(src.city, ''); this pattern shows the core behavior: current rows are closed when tracked attributes change, and a new current row is inserted. when to use / when not to use use when attribute changes must remain traceable over time source systems overwrite current values point-in-time analysis is required previous business states must remain queryable do not use when only the latest state matters the source already provides reliable historized data and duplicate historization is unnecessary storage growth from history rows is not acceptable performance & design considerations historization increases write volume and storage usage over-tracking noisy columns creates unnecessary row churn wrong missing-source settings can produce incorrect history timelines snapshot-based downstream joins are more expensive than current-state joins design trade-off: full history gives maximum traceability selective tracking improves storage and runtime efficiency integration with other analyticscreator features import packages and pipelines provide the staging input for historization transformation historization types define how historized rows are consumed downstream macros can support key generation in hybrid and data vault scenarios persisting can materialize downstream historized views for performance datamarts and semantic models can consume current-state or snapshot-based outputs common pitfalls tracking all columns as scd type 2 even when some should be scd1 or ignored not defining missing-source behavior using current-state-only logic when point-in-time analysis is required overusing snapshot logic in scenarios where current-state output is sufficient changing generated sql directly instead of fixing metadata configuration metadata representation historization metadata in analyticscreator typically includes: source object reference key definition per-column historization mode missing-source behavior optional filters and variables downstream transformation historization mode these settings are stored in the repository and used to generate historization logic and dependent transformations. deployment behavior build reads metadata from the repository generates historized tables generates historization procedures builds downstream transformations deploy deploys historized table structures deploys generated procedures deploys orchestration assets refresh / execute imports source data into staging executes historization logic refreshes downstream core and datamart structures key design principle what is generated? historized tables, surrogate keys, validity columns, and historization procedures when is it executed? after source import and before downstream transformation processing where is it stored? in the persistent staging or historization layer how does it scale? through selective column tracking, explicit missing-source handling, filtered loads, and downstream consumption control key takeaway analyticscreator implements scd type 2 historization as a configurable warehouse-layer service that preserves previous states through

step-by-step: sql server northwind project create your first data warehouse with analyticscreator analyticscreator offers pre-configured demos for testing within your environment. this guide outlines the steps to transition from the northwind oltp database to the northwind data warehouse model. once completed, you will have a fully generated dwh project ready to run locally. load the demo project from the file menu, select load from cloud. choose nw_demo enter a name for your new repository (default: nw_demo) note: this repository contains metadata onlyâno data is moved. analyticscreator will automatically generate all required project parameters. project structure: the 5-layer model analyticscreator will generate a data warehouse project with five layers: sources â raw data from the source system (northwind oltp). staging layer â temporary storage for data cleansing and preparation. persisted staging layer â permanent storage of cleaned data for historization. core layer â integrated business modelâstructured and optimized for querying. datamart layer â optimized for reportingâorganized by business topic (e.g., sales, inventory). northwind setup (if not already installed) step 1: check if the northwind database exists open sql server management studio (ssms) and verify that the northwind database is present. if yes, skip to the next section. if not, proceed to step 2. step 2: create the northwind database run the setup script from microsoft: đľ download script or copy-paste it into ssms and execute. step 3: verify database use northwind; go select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = 'dbo' and table_type = 'base table'; once confirmed, you can proceed with the next steps to configure the analyticscreator connector with your northwind database. note: analyticscreator uses only native microsoft connectors, and we do not store any personal information. step 4: change database connector navigate to sources > connectors. you will notice that a connector is already configured. for educational purposes, the connection string is not encrypted yet. to edit or add a new connection string, go to options > encrypted strings > add. paste your connection string as demonstrated in the video below. after adding the new connection string, it's time to test your connection. go to sources â connectors and press the test button to verify your connection. step 5: create a new deployment in this step, you'll configure and deploy your project to the desired destination. please note that only the metadata will be deployed; there will be no data movement or copy during this process. navigate to deployments in the menu and create a new deployment. assign a name to your deployment. configure the connection for the destination set the project path where the deployment will be saved. select the packages you want to generate. review the connection variables and click deploy to initiate the process. finally, click deploy to complete the deployment. in this step, your initial data warehouse project is created. note that only the metadataâthe structure of your projectâis generated at this stage. you can choose between two options for package generation: ssis (sql server integration services) adf (azure data factory) ssis follows a traditional etl tool architecture, making it a suitable choice for on-premises data warehouse architectures. in contrast, adf is designed with a modern cloud-native architecture, enabling seamless integration with various cloud services and big data systems. this architectural distinction makes adf a better fit for evolving data integration needs in cloud-based environments. to execute your package and move your data, you will still need an integration runtime (ir). keep in mind that analyticscreator only generates the project at the metadata level and does not access your data outside the analyticscreator interface. it does not link your data to us, ensuring that your data remains secure in its original location. for testing purposes, you can run your package in microsoft visual studio 2022, on your local sql server, or even in azure data factory."}

execution: analyticscreator stores metadata in the repository and generates sql server artifacts from that metadata synchronization materializes the modeled structure in a sql server database deployment creates the required database assets and related execution packages execution is performed by sql server and ssis, not by analyticscreator itself typical sql server execution flow: metadata is stored in the sql server repository the wizard generates a draft model synchronization materializes the model as sql server objects deployment creates sql server database content and ssis packages ssis packages are executed to load and process data ci/cd and version control repository metadata is stored in sql server projects can be exported for versioning and deployment control generated deployment packages can be used in development, test, and production processes visual studio-based deployment assets support controlled release workflows connectors, sources, and exports relevant source types sql server source systems sap sources with sql server as target platform files and other supported source connectors relevant exports and downstream targets sql server data warehouse databases ssis execution packages analysis services or power bi-oriented semantic outputs prerequisites, limitations, and notes a sql server instance is required for the repository a target sql server database is required for generated warehouse objects ssis is required when package-based orchestration is used performance depends on indexing, load strategy, and transformation complexity generated sql should still be reviewed where platform-specific tuning is required design considerations: persistent staging should be used deliberately to support reprocessing and historization persisting can improve performance for complex transformations by materializing view output into tables historization strategy affects both storage volume and processing behavior example use cases building an on-premise sql server data warehouse with ssis-based loading modernizing an existing sql server warehouse into a metadata-driven model generating dimensional marts and semantic outputs for power bi implementing data vault or hybrid architectures on sql server platform-specific faq does analyticscreator execute etl inside sql server? analyticscreator generates sql objects and procedures for sql server, but workflow execution is typically handled through generated ssis packages or other generated orchestration assets. does synchronization load business data? no. synchronization materializes the structure in sql server. data loading happens later during execution. can sql server be both source and target? yes. sql server can be used as a source system, as the repository platform, and as the target warehouse platform. can i use power bi with a sql server-based model? yes. analyticscreator can generate dimensional and semantic outputs that are intended for downstream use in power bi. proof assets demo transcripts show the repository stored in sql server, synchronization creating a new sql server database, and deployment producing ssis packages and sql-based structures demo transcripts also show generated historization procedures, view-based transformations, persisting procedures, and data mart outputs for analytical consumption related content quick start guide understanding analyticscreator sql server tutorials and examples historization reference persisting reference commercial solution page for product-level positioning and commercial overview, see the analyticscreator sql server solution page. key takeaway in sql server environments, analyticscreator generates the warehouse schema, loading procedures, ssis assets, and analytical structures, while sql server and related microsoft services execute and host the resulting solution."} ,{"id":383225948379,"name":"Power BI","type":"section","path":"/docs/platform-support/power-bi","breadcrumb":"Platform Support › Power BI","description":"","searchText":"platform support power bi this page describes how analyticscreator generates and integrates analytical models for power bi. overview analyticscreator supports power bi as a target for analytical consumption by generating semantic models based on the data warehouse structure. these models define dimensions, measures, and relationships that can be used directly in reporting. analyticscreator does not execute data processing inside power bi. instead, it generates semantic structures that are consumed by power bi after data has been processed in the underlying data warehouse platform. supported services and components power bi semantic models (tabular models) power bi datasets power bi desktop and power bi service directquery and import modes what analyticscreator generates for power bi, analyticscreator generates: semantic models: dimensions and facts mapped from dm layer relationships between entities measures and calculated fields model structure: hierarchies (e.g. date hierarchies) attribute groupings metadata descriptions deployment-ready artifacts: tabular model definitions integration with deployment workflows supported modeling approaches dimensional modeling (star schema) measures derived from fact tables hierarchical dimensions (e.g. time, geography) data vault models are not directly exposed to power bi. instead, dimensional structures are generated from core layers and used as the basis for semantic models. deployment and execution model analyticscreator separates semantic model generation from data processing: analyticscreator generates the semantic model definition the model is deployed to power bi or an analytical engine data processing happens in the underlying data warehouse power bi consumes the processed data through the semantic model execution flow: data is processed in stg, core, and dm layers semantic model references dm structures power bi queries the model or underlying data source ci/cd and version control semantic models are generated from metadata definitions model definitions can be included in deployment pipelines integration with version-controlled analyticscreator projects connectors, sources, and exports data sources for power bi sql server azure sql microsoft fabric other supported warehouse targets export targets power bi semantic models tabular model deployments prerequisites, limitations, and notes power bi requires access to the deployed data warehouse model performance depends on underlying data model design directquery performance depends on source system performance design considerations: use dm layer as the source for semantic models avoid exposing stg or core layers directly ensure measures are defined consistently example use cases generating a power bi-ready star schema from a data warehouse automating creation of measures and relationships standardizing reporting models across projects reducing manual modeling effort in power bi platform-specific faq does analyticscreator replace power bi modeling? analyticscreator generates the base semantic model, including dimensions, relationships, and measures. additional report-specific logic can still be implemented in power bi if required. where are measures defined? measures can be generated as part of the semantic model based on metadata definitions and can be extended in power bi. can power bi connect directly to core or stg? this is technically possible but not recommended. the dm layer should be used as the primary source for reporting. proof assets generated semantic models include dimensions, measures, and relationships based on metadata demo scenarios show end-to-end flow from source to power bi-ready model related content quick start guide understanding analyticscreator data mart modeling semantic model reference commercial solution page for product-level positioning and overview, see the analyticscreator power bi solution page. key takeaway analyticscreator generates semantic models for power bi based on data warehouse structures, while data processing remains in the underlying platform."} ]
