IBM is still selling MetaCube and releasing patches (the current version is 4.21uc4 or smth). You can ask IBM sales person for the trial version The price is still enormous, MetaCube is much more expensive then that of competitors like Business Object BO works perfectly with Informix. Although it's not a pure ROLAP tool - it is more 'ad hoc reporting' - ROLAP approach can also be implemented with BO. Moreover, MetaCube is extremely complex from the design/development/support point of view. BO is much more simple. ------------------------------------------ Alexey Sonkin > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org] > On Behalf Of Pedro Mendoza > Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 10:26 AM > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: metacube availability > > Hi everybody, > > Is metacube still alive ?, is there any other OLAP solution available > for IDS ?, where can I get a trial version of it ? > > Many thanks in advance, > Pedro sending to informix-list
