## Managing in-memory cubes

In-memory cubes are cached data of business views. The generating and updating of in-memory cubes are achieved by scheduling cube tasks. In-memory cubes are similar to scheduled reports that can be run immediately, run once at a specific time or run periodically to select the data from the DBMS and store it in JReport Server. After an in-memory cube is created and ready for use, all web reports, library components, and visual analyses that use the same business view as the in-memory cube will automatically use the cube rather than go to the database for the data. By applying in-memory cubes, your reporting performance will be greatly improved.

This section shows how to create, use and manage in-memory cubes as follows:

- Creating in-memory cubes
- Viewing and managing the cube tasks
- Recovering and synchronizing in-memory cubes
