DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0038] To make more lucid and clear the objectives, technical solutions and
advantages of the
present application, the present application is described in greater detail
below with
reference to accompanying drawings and embodiments. As should be understood,
the
specific embodiments as described here are merely meant to explain the present
application, rather than to restrict the present application.

[0039] The method of processing dimension data of a data warehouse provided by
the present
application is applicable to the application environment as shown in Fig. 1,
in which data
source terminal 20 communicates with database equipment 10 through network 30.
There
can be plural data source terminals 20 to upload various types of data to
database
equipment 10. Data source terminal 20 can be, but is not limited to be, any of
a personal
computer, a notebook computer, a smart mobile phone, a panel computer, and a
portable
wearable device. Database equipment 10 is internally equipped with a data
warehouse for
storing various types of data uploaded by data source terminal 20. The data
warehouse
contains dimension tables. The dimension tables are employed for storing
different types
of data. Database equipment 10 can be embodied as an independent data
administration
server or a data administration server cluster consisting of a plurality of
data
administration servers for storing and administering data uploaded by data
source
terminal(s) 20. In addition, data administration equipment 40 communicates
with
database equipment 10 through network for sending data processing instructions
to
database equipment 10, to instruct database equipment 10 to correspondingly
data-
process the data inside the data warehouse.
[0040] In one embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, a method of processing dimension
data of a data
warehouse is provided, and the method is explained with an example of its
being applied
to data warehouse 10 in Fig. 1, to comprise the following steps.
[0041] S100 - obtaining a target dimension table of a data warehouse.
[0042] The data warehouse stores therein a plurality of dimension tables for
storing various types
of data. The dimension tables are set by technical personnel according to user
requirements. However, various dimensions and parameter information to which
the
various dimensions correspond are not definitely defined in the plural
dimension tables.
The data administration server also does not have standard dimension
administration for
the dimension tables of the data warehouse. Accordingly, utilization of data
in the data
6
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-02-28

CA 03152835 2022-02-28
warehouse cannot cover dimension data service requirements under various
scenarios. In
this embodiment, the data administration server obtains a target dimension
table of the
data warehouse. Specifically, each dimension table has identification
information, such
as dimension table name, dimension table number, etc. The data administration
server
obtains the target dimension table through the identification information.
[0043] S200 - setting dimension parameters of the target dimension table
according to preset
dimension attribute information, and obtaining first dimension data.
[0044] In this embodiment, the data administration server stores plural types
of preset dimension
attribute information. The preset dimension attribute information is employed
to set
dimensions for the dimension tables in the data warehouse. The data
administration server
bases on the characteristics of the target dimension table to obtain the
corresponding
preset dimension attribute information from plural types of preset dimension
attribute
information, and bases on this preset dimension attribute information to set
dimension
parameters of the target dimension table, so as to obtain the first dimension
data. As
shown in Fig. 3, the preset dimension attribute information can include
dimension name
information, dimension description information, business field information to
which the
data recorded in the dimensions pertains, and dimension type information, etc.
Different
dimension tables have different preset dimension attribute information
according to
different characteristics of the dimension tables. Dimension parameters of the
target
dimension table are set according to the corresponding preset dimension
attribute
information to determine numerical values of the dimension parameters of the
target
dimension table, so as to perform unified administration on the data
dimensions of the
target dimension table according to the preset dimension attribute
information.
[0045] In one embodiment, step S200 includes: defining dimension parameters of
the target
dimension table according to preset dimension attribute information, mapping
the
dimension parameters with field data in the target dimension table, and taking
the data to
7
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-02-28

CA 03152835 2022-02-28
which the mapped dimension parameters correspond as the first dimension data.
[0046] Specifically, the data administration server defines dimension
parameters of the target
dimension table according to the preset dimension attribute information. As
shown in Fig.
3, there are such parameters as dimension value number, dimension value name,
dimension value order, dimension value validation time, and dimension value
invalidation time, etc. Moreover, the dimension parameters are mapped with
field data in
the target dimension table, and the corresponding field data in the target
dimension table
is taken as the first dimension data. Accordingly, it is made possible to
further combine
dimensions with data in the target dimension table to administer the dimension
data.
[0047] In one mode of execution of this embodiment, the step of setting a data
service to which
the target dimension table corresponds according to the first dimension data
and the
second dimension data of the target dimension table includes: setting,
according to the
first dimension data of the target dimension table, the first data service,
which is to
enquire field data in the target dimension table on the basis of the dimension
parameters.
[0048] Specifically, the data administration server maps the dimension
parameters with field data
in the target dimension table, and takes the data to which the mapped
dimension
parameters correspond as the first dimension data. At this time, the first
data service is a
data service that bases on the dimension parameters to enquire field data in
the target
dimension table, whereby is made possible to enquire field data in the target
dimension
table according to the dimension parameters. See Fig. 3 for details.
Accordingly, the
efficiency in data-processing dimension data of a data warehouse can be
enhanced.
[0049] In one embodiment, the method of processing dimension data of a data
warehouse further
comprises: setting dimension related characteristics of the target dimension
table
according to preset dimension attribute information, and obtaining dimension
characteristics data, wherein the first dimension data includes dimension
characteristics
8
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-02-28

CA 03152835 2022-02-28
data.
[0050] Specifically, the data administration server not only sets dimension
parameters of the
target dimension table according to preset dimension attribute information,
but also sets
dimension related characteristics of the target dimension table according to
the preset
dimension attribute information, assigns the data obtained after setting of
the two to the
first dimension data, and hence creates the first data service according to
the first
dimension data. Accordingly, administration of dimension data of the target
dimension
table is made more standard, and data processing efficiency is thereby
enhanced during
the process of using the dimension data of the target dimension table to
perform the first
data service. The dimension related characteristics of the target dimension
table include
a date dimension. Setting the dimension related characteristics of the target
dimension
table according to preset dimension attribute information includes setting a
time format
of the date dimension and granularity of the date dimension.
[0051] S300 - setting datasheet parameters of the target dimension table
according to preset
dimension table attribute information, and obtaining second dimension data.
[0052] In this embodiment, the data administration server stores plural types
of preset dimension
table attribute information. The preset dimension table attribute information
is employed
to set datasheet parameters for the dimension tables in the data warehouse.
The data
administration server bases on the characteristics of the target dimension
table to obtain
the corresponding preset dimension table attribute information from plural
types of preset
dimension table attribute information, and bases on this preset dimension
table attribute
information to set datasheet parameters of the target dimension table, so as
to obtain the
second dimension data. As shown in Fig. 4, the preset dimension table
attribute
information can include name of the datasheet and configuration type of the
datasheet,
etc. The configuration type of the datasheet includes manual configuration and
non-
manual configuration. Datasheet parameters of the target dimension table are
set
9
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-02-28

CA 03152835 2022-02-28
according to the corresponding preset dimension table attribute information to
determine
numerical values of the datasheet parameters of the target dimension table, so
as to
perform unified administration on the data dimensions of the target dimension
table
according to the preset dimension table attribute information.
[0053] S400 - setting a data service to which the target dimension table
corresponds according
to the first dimension data and the second dimension data of the target
dimension table,
wherein the data service includes a first data service created according to
the first
dimension data and a second data service created according to the second
dimension data.
[0054] In this embodiment, after having completed the setting of the dimension
parameters and
datasheet parameters of the target dimension table, the data administration
server further
sets the data service to which the target dimension table corresponds. The
data service is
employed to invoke data in the target dimension table according to a received
data service
request to realize feeding back of corresponding data service. Generally, the
data service
is determined on the basis of business requirements. The data service includes
a first data
service created according to the first dimension data and a second data
service created
according to the second dimension data. That is to say, with respect to the
dimension
parameters set according to the preset dimension attribute information, and
with respect
to the datasheet parameters set according to the preset dimension table
attribute
information, the data administration server bases on the two respectively to
create
different data services. Accordingly, the data administration server not only
performs
dimension administration on the target dimension table, but also performs
corresponding
data processing on the dimension data after dimension administration, so that
administration of dimension data of the target dimension table of the data
warehouse is
made more standard, thus facilitating to enhance the efficiency in data
processing of the
data warehouse.
[0055] In one embodiment, step S400 includes: setting, according to the second
dimension data
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-02-28

CA 03152835 2022-02-28
of the target dimension table, the second data service, which is to enquire
data in the target
dimension table on the basis of the datasheet parameters.
[0056] In this embodiment, the second data service can enquire data in the
target dimension table
according to the datasheet parameters. For instance, it can participate in the
table structure
data according to the datasheet name in the datasheet parameters. Accordingly,
the
efficiency in processing dimension data of the target dimension table can be
enhanced.
[0057] In a specific mode of execution, data services to which the target
dimension table
corresponds as set by the data administration server includes:
[0058] Data service 1: dimension information service, specifically, enquiring
dimension
information according to dimension numbers;
[0059] Data service 2: dimension table information service, specifically,
enquiring dimension
table information services according to datasheet names of the data warehouse;
[0060] Data service 3: services of conversion between dimension value numbers
and dimension
value names, as shown below:

[0064] In the aforementioned method of processing dimension data, dimension
parameters of the
target dimension table are set according to preset dimension attribute
information, and
first dimension data is obtained, so that data dimensions of the target
dimension table are
uniformly administered. Further, datasheet parameters of the target dimension
table are
set according to preset dimension table attribute information, and second
dimension data
is obtained, so that table dimensions of the target dimension table are
unifolinly
administered. Moreover, a data service to which the target dimension table
corresponds
is set according to the first dimension data and the second dimension data of
the target

dimension table, so as to realize feeding back of the data service of the
first dimension
data and the second dimension data in the target dimension table according to
a data
service request. Accordingly, data administration and data processing of
dimension data
of the data warehouse are achieved.
[0065] In one embodiment, the method of processing dimension data further
includes: setting
field parameters of the target dimension table according to preset dimension
table field
attribute information, and obtaining third dimension data. At this time, the
data service to
which the target dimension table corresponds includes a third data service,
and the third
data service is a data service that is set according to the third dimension
data and that is
to enquire corresponding field data in the target dimension table on the basis
of the field
parameters.
[0066] In this embodiment, the data administration server not only
correspondingly sets
dimension parameters and datasheet parameters of the target dimension table,
but also
sets field parameters of the target dimension table according to preset
dimension table
field attribute information, and simultaneously sets the third data service
that bases on the
field parameters to enquire corresponding field data in the target dimension
table
according to the third dimension data. See Fig. 5 for specifics. Accordingly,
the efficiency
in processing dimension data of the target dimension table can be enhanced.
[0067] In one embodiment, step S400 includes: setting a data connection
service to which the
target dimension table corresponds according to the first dimension data and
the second
dimension data of the target dimension table. The data connection service is
employed to
perform data connection on data in the target dimension table with other data
outside the
target dimension table by invoking an association method according to the
first dimension
data and/or the second dimension data.
[0068] Specifically, the data connection service is realized by a join
servicing plug-in component
12
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-02-28

CA 03152835 2022-02-28
of a real-time dimension table. The plug-in component is supplied in the form
of jar (Java
archive file), and supports the mainstream real-time processing framework.
Relevant data
is transmitted by invoking an association method according to the first
dimension data
and/or the second dimension data. For instance, corresponding dimension table
names,
dimension codes and dimension value codes are transmitted according to
dimension table
names, dimension codes and dimension value codes, table data information is
obtained
in real time, and real-time join operation is performed.
[0069] In one embodiment, the method of processing dimension data further
comprises:
collecting dimension data from the target dimension table as set, and storing
the
dimension data in a unified database. In this case, step S400 includes:
setting the data
service according to the dimension data in the unified database.
[0070] Specifically, after having set the dimension parameters and the
datasheet parameters of
the target dimension table, the data administration server automatically
generates a spark
task, makes use of the spark task to collect dimension table data, and stores
the data in an
Hbase database and an Es database. The Hbase database and the Es database are
data-
storing databases in the unified database. Finally, the data service is set
according to the
unified database. Accordingly, it is made possible to perform unified
administration on
the data in the data warehouse.
[0071] In one embodiment, the method of processing dimension data further
comprises: invoking
a preset detecting task to perform quality monitor on the data in the target
dimension table
according to a preset monitoring rule.
[0072] Specifically, the data administration server performs data quality
monitor on the data in
the target dimension table. The monitoring mode is to configure a preset
monitoring rule,
generate a corresponding preset detecting task, and perform quality monitor on
the data
in the target dimension table by scheduling the preset detecting task. If a
quality problem
13
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-02-28

CA 03152835 2022-02-28
occurs to the data in the target dimension table, alarming information is sent
to an
alarming center. On receiving the alarming information, the alarming center
forwards the
alarming information to the person in charge. Accordingly, it is made possible
to perform
quality monitor on the data of the target dimension table in the data
warehouse, and to
enhance administration quality of data in the data warehouse.
[0073] As should be understood, although the various steps in the flowcharts
are sequentially
displayed as indicated by arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in
the sequences
indicated by arrows. Unless otherwise explicitly noted in this paper,
execution of these
steps is not restricted by any sequence, as these steps can also be executed
in other
sequences (than those indicated in the drawings). Moreover, at least partial
steps in the
accompanying drawings may include plural sub-steps or multi-phases, these sub-
steps or
phases are not necessarily completed at the same timing, but can be executed
at different
timings, and these sub-steps or phases are also not necessarily sequentially
performed,
but can be performed in turns or alternately with other steps or with at least
some of sub-
steps or phases of other steps.
