The Microsoft Analysis Manager

The Analysis Manager is a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The MMC is the standard management console for all the Microsoft BackOffice suite. The look and feel of this console will become familiar very quickly. As shown in Figure 31.2, the Analysis Manager is a very user-friendly interface with a hierarchical, tree-view representation of the server and all its components in the left pane. You can unlock most of its functionality by highlighting an item in the tree view and right-clicking the mouse.
