Real Time Data Push to SSAS Cube

Real time data push in to SSAS cube is very much possible.

There are different ways of doing it, How ever you have explore & see which one best fits your needs

The below are some of the options :

1) Push the data directly from the WH in to SSAS cubes using SSIS Package.
ex: Lets say there is a product dimension & Orders Fact table , in the SSIS package which loads the data in to these tables we can extend them to push the data to Product dimension & Orders Fact  of OLAP cube.

2) Proactive Caching based on policy based management. The Policy settings  - SilenceInterval, SilenceOverrideInterval, ForceRebuildInterval & latency play very important role.

But how do we get the data changed notifications from the data source, Here are the options :
 1) use event trace entries
 2)  application can notify through webservice call
3) by polling the data source using sql queries to see if data has changed using a timestamp or any other column.
