Answer / guest

yes we can create cube from multiple iqd's , we have to
first import the primary datasource which contains most of
the structural data item required for the cube creation,
and then other sources,by inserting the data source
separately.
Good practises:
1. we can incrementally update the cube.
2.check the cube status periodically
3.run the test cube with a small amount of data.eg., if you
have 1000 records , we can assign 300 records from each
data source and perform a sample test cube.
4.we can do partition, to improve the runtime performance.
