Does Oracle OLAP comes with Oracle Database 10g ?

1.Does Oracle OLAP comes with Oracle Database 10g or do we need seperate software to have this ?.
2.If I create a Cube with Analytic work space manager the cube is going to be stored in the Database ( meaning the in the table space where OLAP is Stored).
3. What is the difference between Analtyic work space manager and discoverer For Olap.
Help is higly appreciated ..
Thanks, Prasad

One thing to point out : The OLAP option is a costed database option, so while this is automatically installed and part of your database you do have to purchase additional licenses to use this feature. You will need to check with your Oracle account manager to see if you are actually licensed to use this feature.
If you have existing 9i OLAP cubes these can be quickly and easily migrated to 10g OLAP and the documentation explains how to do this. However, there are many new features that are part of 10g OLAP that will improve the performance of your data model that will not be enabled as part of a migration process. Based on my experiences it would be quicker and easier (depending on the size of your existing 9i OLAP cubes) to consider rebuilding your data model using these new 10g features. You should be able to export all the dimensions to XML templates from 9i OLAP and import the templates into the 10g schema and reload your dimensions.
For the cubes you will probably want to consider using partitioning, composites and compression to provide maximum flexibility and performance for your new data model. There is more information on these features within the OLAP documentation and in the many whitepapers and presentations on the OLAP home page on OTN.
For moving data from SQL Server to 10g OLAP much depends on the nature of the data transfer. If it is a one-off bulk data load then you could consider using the normal MS command line tools to dump the data out and transfer it to Oracle. Alternatively, you could consider using Oracle Data Integrator to manage the extraction of the SQL Server data and the data load process into Oracle 10g relational tables. If you decide to use Data Integrator this will require additional licenses.
If you can extract the data from SQL Server to flat files you can use Oracle Warehouse Builder (basic ETL is free as part of the 10g database license) to load that flat file data via external tables. Warehouse Builder can also be used to define your OLAP data model (think of Warehouse Builder as a more powerful version of Analytic Workspace Manager) and provides tools to load the data directly into your OLAP dimensions and cubes. You can get more information on managing OLAP data models with Warehouse Builder the Warehouse Builder home page on OTN.
There are no facilities to modify Discoverer Viewer to add customisations. You can add company logos, modify certain colors and/or hide certain features but it is not possible to add additional features. You may want to consider using BI Beans to provide this type of environment. BI Beans is the development framework used to create Discoverer Viewer. You can create customised JSP pages that look identical to Discoverer Viewer pages with the added benefit of providing your own specific features. You can get more information on the BI Beans home page on OTN.

  • Does Oracle Internet Directory come with Application Server 10g Release 3

    I noticed Appserver 10g 10.1.3 does not have as many components as Appserver 10.1.2. It does not even come with Oracle Internet Directory. Do I need to install Appserver 10.1.2 first and then upgrade to Appserver 10.1.3?

    Nope. Doesn't work that way. AS 10.1.3 is a different release...
    Perhaps one way of seeing AS is as a family name for sets of application platform products or technology. The "core" of AS is OHS and OC4J + management, for many of the releases or product sets (i.e. not all of the AS family are or were based on OC4J). On top of that core, Oracle adds products depending on the release.
    If you go from the Downloads menu -
    You would see that (currently) 10.1.3.x or 10.1.3.1 ("for deployment" - See All) is e.g a SOA Suite release. It also has Service Registry, Data Integrator and WebCenter Suite.
    AS 10.1.3.0.0 is a OC4J release, if I'm not mistaken, to include support for Java/JDK 5.
    AS 10.1.4.0.1 is a Identity Management release.
    If you are looking for other app server products such as Discoverer or Reports Services, the latest release that I know of is 10.1.2.0.2. If you have AS 10.1.2.0.x, you may upgrade the including products via a patch set to 10.1.2.2 or later. Portal and IM components in this release may be upgraded to 10.1.4.x.
    Also note that AS patch sets might introduce some additional version number confusion.
    Combining different releases into mid-tier and infrastructure services is possible, if you need to stay with the latest features (such as a setup with 10.1.2.x mid-tiers using 10.1.4 Identity management). See Upgrade and Installation guides for information and configuration rules.

  • Does ORACLE functions work with Oracle Database 10G

    Hi,
    I am wondering if ORACLE functions work with Oracle Database 10G or is it mandatory to use OCI functions?
    Thanks in advance!

    I was able to run a simple query with ora_* functions using 10g on Windows.
    The Oracle OCI calls used by PHP's ora extension still exist in the Oracle 10g libraries
    But I cannot recommend this obsolete extension.

How come this values reset to null? What is causing this to reset?Nothing in this has anything to do with the sever. You need to check what the client did on his machine that caused registry to get modified?
    How does oracle ODBC works with Oracle database? Need to know all the steps involved?The connectoin from any client is initiated by a client process. This client process is supposed to get a server process to do his work. So if this is done, the client can work now with oracle . Please see the concepts guide for the gory details of the entire process.

  • Does Oracle Portal come with preceeded OC4J (with PDK)

    Hi,
    I had installed the preceeded OC4J extension (with PDK in it) from http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/tech/ias/portal/files/pdk101202_oc4j_extended.zip.
    What I dont understand are the following:
    1) Does Oracle Portal come with this download?
    2) If so how do I verify whether it is installed or not... I tried accessing http://localhost:7778/pls/portal and http://localhost:8888/pls/portal but in vain, am I missing some configurations?
    3) How do I view the Oracle Portal if it has been installed?
    Regards,

    "Download the pre-seeded OC4J. This download contains the portlet standards, JPDK, OmniPortlet, and Web Clipping already deployed and ready to use within OC4J 10.1.2.0.2. Simply download, extract, and start OC4J."
    You only downloaded the deployed portlets.
    If you want Portal up and running, you still need the have some midtier installed

  • Can Oracle APEX work with other databases?

    Can Oracle APEX work with other databases like Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase... etc.?

    Though, the Generic Connectivity does not cost extra.
    It doesn't have all the features of Transparent Gateway, but if you can access the foreign database with an ODBC driver,
    it's an easy way to integrate multiple databases.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/gencon.htm#HETER007
    In one application, I pull data into materialized views from MS Access and Lotus Notes.
    Since Apex lives in an Oracle database, it inherits all of the functionality of Oracle.
    There's not much it can't do.

  • Oracle 11g compatibility with oracle 10g and 9i?

    Hi All
    I have some queries on 11g compatibility.
    Is oracle 11g client compatible with oracle 10g client which is already installed on desktop?
    If yes any changes to be done and where?
    Is oracle 11g compatible with oracle 10g/9i on the same server where 10g/9i are installed?
    Regards

    Thanks Justin Thats right ...
    Problem elaboration is as follows
    We currently have an application which requires oracle 10g(10.2.0.3) client to connect to database from user desktops. As
    part of new application development the oracle 11g clients need to be installed on all the user deskotps.
    The complete application software along with oracle client 11g has to be roled out on these desktop as part of
    implementaion of new application besides the existing application(The application software is packaged along with oracle
    10g client).
    We would like to understand if there is any software provided by oracle using which we can switch between different oracle
    versions while accessing the respective applications simultaneously. Also are there any known bugs/issues in running
    oracle 10g client and oracle 11g client together on the same user desktops with different oracle homes?

  • BI admin tool : Oracle OLAP vs ODBC3.5 OCI 10g/11g ...

    Hi everyone,
    I'm facing a problem when I try to create a repository using Oracle BI admin Tool.
    In the second step of Create new repository , I have to choose between a lot of connexion types : ODBC3.5 , Oracle OLAP, OCI 10g/11g .... I don't know which of them I need to choose in my case.
    In my case, I have a cube that I created using AWM, and I need to make a report that is based on that cube.
    I don't really know how to proceed ...
    I have Oracle BI is in a Unix server , and I installed Oracle BI admin tool client in my Windows 7.
    Any idea which connexion type I should use, do I need to make an ODBC connexion for all of them ?
    My comprehension of this is unclear ... any help ?
    Thx all !!

    Starting with OBIEE 11.1.1.5, as it understands Oracle-OLAP metadata in Oracle data dictionary, so to query data from OLAP Analytical workspaces you will always use "Oracle OLAP" as the source in BI-Admin-Tool.
    When you will create report in OBIEE, it will then generate the query using the OLAP_TABLE sql function.
    Note that automatically generated CUBE_TABLE views in OLAP (the ones suffixed with _VIEW) are not used at all (or even needed) when working with OBIEE 11.1.1.5+.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • ORACLE olap - dimension with huge number of members.

    Hi Experts,
    I have modeling a ORACLE OLAP cube with 10 dimensions. I have one of the dimensions which have huge leaf members...(probably 1 billion).. How many dimension members i can have for one dimension. Is there any limitation to the dimension members ?
    Thanks and Regards
    Siva

    Hi there,
    I'm not sure of the theoretical limits, but I would never recommend trying to build a dimension with 1 billion members.
    In situations were such granular data exists, it is common to leave this in table and load data into the OLAP cube at a more aggregate level.
    Which business entity are you trying to model in a 1 billion member dimension?

    INNER JOIN syntax is introduced in 9i, it does not exists in 8i. You can rewrite your statement:

  • Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Oracle 7 Client with Oracle 9 Server

    Hello,
    I was wondering what are the advanatges of using Oracle 7 client with Oracle 9 Server versus using Oracle 9 Client with Oracle 9 server.

    Some years ago I used 7.3 Client with 9i DB, and I don't remember of particular problems, but I'm speaking of Sql*Plus only. Are there specific problems ?
    Of course the best thing is to install one 9i Client (did you already do it ?) : if there are same problems, then that's not compatibility issue.
    And what are advantages of using 9 Client with 9 server other than 7 is no longer supported.You're sure you won't have compatibility problems.
