Business Objects Advanced Analysis in 4.0

Voyager and Pioneer are renamed as Business Objects Advanced Analysis (web and MS version) in BO XI 4.0 .
Does anyone worked on Business Objects Advanced Analysis web based version in BO XI 4.0? If yes could you please share your experience on it? I meant selection of the data source, creating cross tab, chart etc. Any user guide is good. What is the main data source for Business Objects Advanced Analysis web based?

On a side note:
It is called SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, OLAP edition (=web based) or SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, MS Office edition, which still uses OLAP data sources, but is a MS Office add On and the premium successor to SAP BEx Analyzer.

I understand that Advanced Analysis data sources are OLAP Cubes, Query and System. My question is how to create a OLAP cube using business objects 4.0? Does BO has any tool for this? What are the other third party applications we need to use for cube creation?
What is Query and System here? Does we need to create a universe for this?

No, BusinessObjects DOES NOT offfer a tool to create OLAP cubes. Use SAP BW instead.
