The integration of SAS and Tableau can have significant business benefits. SAS and Tableau are ‘best of breed’ in their own areas: SAS in the area of Analytics and ‘Analytical Data Preparation’; Tableau in the area of data discovery, visualization and intuitive, interactive dashboarding. Consequently, it makes sense to find ways to combine these technologies to deliver an Integrated Information Framework which leverages the strengths of both solutions.

Performance Tuning Oracle's BI ApplicationsKPI Partners
http://www.kpipartners.com/webinar-Performance-Tuning-Oracle-BI-Applications/ ... From a virtual event that discusses techniques that can be used to optimize performance of the Oracle BI Apps.
The BI Apps from Oracle present customers with a nice head start to getting their BI environment up and running. But for many customers, their user community demands lighting-fast speeds while running dashboards, reports and ad-hoc queries. Learn about some of the key techniques you can use to take the BI Apps to performance levels you didn’t think were possible.
The discussion begins with a conceptual understanding of why performance problems can exist and the counteracting design considerations. Special attention will be paid to the concept of a Performance Layer, describing what it is, what it is comprised of and how to build it. The presentation includes several real world examples of the significant performance gains that can be had from a Performance Layer.
Objective 1: Learn about the concept of a performance layer and what is involved with building one.
Objective 2: Understand the most important steps to improve the performance of your system.
Online analytical processing (OLAP) is an approach to formulate and answer multidimensional queries to large datasets. OLAP and Business Intelligence were initially developed to help top and middle-level executives to analyze the information about processes and data inside and outside the company. OLAP is all about BI and Big Data.
The main players of OLAP industry are Microsoft with Microsoft Analysis Services, SAP with SAP NetWeaver BW, SAS OLAP Server, IBM Cognos T1, open source icCube solution, Essbase and OLAP addon from Oracle and others.
MDX is a very popular language. At this moment, we don’t have an alternative language for multidimensional data requests. All developers forget about MDX security. However, security issues in MDX may cause a lot of attacks: data stealing, file reading, privilege escalation, remote code execution, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.
The presentation covers topics such as details of OLAP technology, MDX attacks, Getting RCE with MDX, and mdXML attacks.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

• Fact – A fact is another term for a measure that contains
numeric data that can be grouped along one or more
dimensional hierarchy
• Star Schema – All dimension tables radiate out from a single
fact table
• Snowflake Schema – One fact table may relate to another
fact table before relating to dimension tables. One dimension
table can also have a related dimension table
• A Pivot table or chart is usually based around a single fact
table

their own data
• More control over data other people can access
• Users can generate their own reports
• PowerPivot gives SQL Server data access to the
masses
6/16/2012 IT Pro Camp - Jacksonville 2012 7
8. • Simple Calculations
• Calculated columns within fact tables
• Calculated columns for dimension tables
• Calculated columns between tables
• Calculated columns to serve as links to tables using multiple
columns
(Calculated columns are calculated for every row in the table)
• Aggregate Calculations
• Calculate unique measures
(Aggregate measures are only calculated for the displayed data in
the Pivot table)

18. • Often you will need to build a Date Dimension table
based on the minimum and maximum dates in your fact
table.
• Date Dimension tables are relatively easy to build using
DAX formulas. Or you can build them in SQL Server
using T-SQL. You can even build the table in Excel and
use standard Excel functions.

23. • Problem:
• PowerPivot can only link two tables based on a single column.
• You need to link two tables using two or more columns.
• Solution:
• Use DAX to create a calculated column that combines the data
from the two columns in each table.
• Typically when combining the data from multiple columns, it
implies first a conversion of the column data to strings and then
the string versions of the column data are the concatenated.
6/16/2012 IT Pro Camp - Jacksonville 2012 23
25. • Standard measures are aggregated using one of the following
aggregate functions:
• COUNTA (count non-empty cells)
• SUM
• MIN
• MAX
• AVERAGE
Note: List says COUNT, not COUNTA but it uses the COUNTA
function
6/16/2012 IT Pro Camp - Jacksonville 2012 25
26. • When you right click a measure, you can select from one of
the following calculation types:
• % of Grand Total

27. % of Parent Row
% of Grand Total
6/16/2012 IT Pro Camp - Jacksonville 2012 27
28. • Sometimes you need a DAX measure that is not built-in.
For example, suppose you want to display the number of

31. • DAX expressions are calculated independently for every
cell, even total rows and total columns
• One DAX expression can include another embedded
DAX expression. (average profit per visit)
= SUM(FactSales[TotalProfit]) / FactSales[DistinctSales]
By default, DAX expressions obey filters. Sometime you
need to ignore filters as in: (This is the same as % of
Total)
=SUM(FactSales[TotalProfit])/
CALCULATE(SUM(FactSales[TotalProfit]),ALL(FactSales))
