OLAP reports are created using the OLAP Report Expert. The expert is made up of seven tabs. Before you start creating your report, ensure you have the following information:

- OLAP Type (Essbase Cube, IBM DB2 OLAP Server, OLE DB for OLAP, Informix MetaCube, or Holos HDC Cube)
- Server/Database name
- User ID
- Password
- Parameters (applies only to OLE DB for OLAP).
