P6 Analytics R1 & OBI (Business Intelligence)

Hi,
I was looking at P6 Analytics R1, that was released some months ago to improve the data analysis of PMDB databases. Did we realize that this package is intended to be used with an exisiting OBI instance?
So if the OBI is already in place we could use the package as a FastTrack for OBI on P6. If there is not an existing OBI instance we should consider to buy that and also plan expenses for implementation.
In my honest opinion, putting P6 Analytics within Primavera applications is not correct . It should be at most an add on to OBI and so it should appear within the OBI application packages.
Regards
Fabio D'Alfonso

Hi,
are you sure you get working P6 Analytics R1 only with Reporting Database R2?
Pag 23 of P6ReportingDatabaseAdminGuide.pdf document.
Overview of P6 Analytics
P6 Analytics provides an in-depth and comprehensive method for analyzing and evaluating project performance, project history, resource assignments and utilization.
Built upon the Oracle Business Intelligence suite (Dashboards and Answers), P6 Analytics delivers a catalog of Dashboards and Answers requests that provide an interactive way of viewing, analyzing, and evaluating Project Management data. In addition, P6 Analytics provides a Repository (RPD) file which contains the data mappings between the physical data and the presentation layer of OBI.
The dashboards provide detailed insight into your Project Management data, through the use of analytical charts, tables, and graphics. Dashboards have the ability to navigate to other requests, to provide precise root cause analysis. In Addition, you can configure individual requests with the P6 Action Link, which enables you to navigate directly to your P6 Web Access site for true “Insight to Action” capabilities. Reports created with Oracle BI Answers can be saved in the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog, and can be integrated into any Oracle BI home page or dashboard. Results can be enhanced through options such as charting, result layout, calculation, and drilldown features.
P6 Analytics provides an RPD file to be used with the Oracle Business Intelligence suite. The RPD file contains:
■A physical representation of the Star schema
■A business layer where customized calculations are performed
■A presentation layer that groups all of the Star database fields into logical subject areas.
The RPD delivers an extensive amount of Earned Value, Costs, Units, Percent Completes, and other key performance indicators. It enables data to be sliced by items such as time, project, eps, portfolios, activities, and resources.
No need of OBI?

HR Analytics and Daily Business Intelligence for HR

HI All,
Can anyone explain the difference between HR Analytics and Daily Business Intelligence for HR to me?
Thanks!

Oracle Daily Business Intelligence (DBI) for HRMS provides information about your workforce and your human resource management processes. It is a comprehensive reporting solution that provides workforce analysis, and workforce distribution. Built on the proven Oracle Human Resources suite of transactional applications, DBI for HRMS provides executives and Human Resource line managers with a daily view of the enterprise workforce using the HR Management dashboards.
Check
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25284_01/current/acrobat/115hridbiig.pdf
Oracle Human Resources Analytics provides organizations detailed analysis on HR programs and workforce performance. It integrates
critical data from across the enterprise value chain transforming information into relevant, timely, and actionable insight.

Business Intelligence in Ireland

Hi great ones,
I am currently working as a technical support analyst at the moment but I want to change to SAP Business Intelligence.
I am very new to SAP and I am living in Ireland, going through job adverts I have not really been seeing BI jobs in Ireland.
Please I need an advive if I should change for another SAP area or I am in the right direction.
Your advice will be highly appreciated,
Bankole

Hi Bankole,
I am not sure how much you know about SAP products: SAP R/3 (the name has undergone some changes, of late) is the product used for day-to-day business transactions. It is an OLTP system. SAP BW is another product which can acquire the data in SAP R/3 and other legacy systems and provide analysis of the same from a strategic perspective. It is an OLAP system.
SAP BW is a very interesting and rewarding career area. There are opportunities all over the world.
However, to come up to speed quickly, a background in having worked in SAP R/3 as a Business Analyst or as an ABAP Developer for a couple of years would be ideal.
If you like programming, getting into an ABAP developer role initially in a SAP R/3 environment, would be a good start. It is an equally good career area, requiring less business process knowledge to start with. It would also give you the time to understand the different business processes in an organization as mapped in a SAP R/3 system.
I would not dissuade you from getting trained in BW and seeking a BW career immediately, but then you may face a steeper learning curve and may need to operate with a lot of grey areas around you.
Best of luck!
Mathew.

Fixed Issues in Oracle Business Intelligence Suite

Hi,
I've spent quite a while searching for a list of known issues that have been fixed with Oracle Business Intelligence Suite (compared to Siebel Analytics 7.8.x). Anybody aware of such a document?
Thanks,
Andi

I for one haven't seen any such list. I was also looking for a list like that for the latest release, going from OBIEE 10.1.3.2 to 10.1.3.2.1but with no luck.
Anyone seen these?

How to setup a Business Intelligence Department?

I am a contractor working as a technical business analyst. I would like to get into Business Intelligence so am taking a BI program at the local university.
I dont have any experience in BI so i wanted to learn by posting a question to the user community.
- What questions would you have to pose in order to setup a business intelligence department and what types of questions would you ask yourself when generating key measurements?
Andrew

user10711997 wrote:
- What questions would you have to pose in order to setup a business intelligence department Real answers from the corporate world? That would be along the the lines of..
Who is the executive or board sponsor? What's the budget? What are the strategic goals? What authority will you have for setting up the department? Who will you report to?
And yes, it will be more about dealing with corporate politics when managing a department than anything else. Not about shiny CV's. Not about publishing papers.
and what types of questions would you ask yourself when generating key measurements?Single question. Can the answer facilitate in either cutting losses or increasing profit? That is what the bottom line is. If you fail to show that there is a RIO for such a BI department, the department (and you) will have a very short future in the corporate.
I find these questions a bit weird though as they have nothing really to do with BI and everything to do in dealing with the culture, internal structures and operational procedures of a corporate. A simple issue like fully understanding HR procedures and policies can spell the difference between employing an excellent BI candidate, or loosing him/her to the competition. Or not following Procurement's red tape trail can delay purchasing of critical software or hardware by months.
People and management skills are by far more critical in such a position than claiming years and years of BI experience.

Initialization to business intelligence

Hi all, I am a beginner in business intelligence domain, I have read some concepts, definitions ... but that still a theoretical, so I made some searches to find a real project where I can learn and practice but could not find a good case study. I will appreciate if any one can provide me with a small project where I can use OBIEE 11g and learn and apply my knowledge.
thanks for help
best regards
Rashid

authenticating / authorizing part is take care by weblogic and then USER variable initialized and you may use it for any initblocks for security.
Init block for authenticating / authorizing and session variables are different, i guess you are mixing both.
