Business Intelligence on iSeries suggestions

Sorry if this is already out here but I guess I'm not forming my queries very well today. Does anyone have any suggestions for Business Intelligence on the iSeries? Our SAP rep has suggested BOBJ Edge but I don't see any iSeries versions of that (Windows and Linux only). Has anyone used any of the BOBJ packages on the iSeries or something like Edge with connectors to the ERP system on the iSeries. I saw a few BW on iSeries threads. Is that the hot setup in iSeries world? What are the differences between BOBJ Edge and BW on iSeries?

Hi Rick,
I would collect info on "what kinds of reports are most needed for the business" (particular WM orders, costing info, HCM data, etc) and "what frontend reporting formats are expected/accepted", then discuss the options with BOBJ/BW consultants. Note that BW and BOBJ are not mutually exclusive with each other - you could have ERP->BW->BOBJ, in which BW provides predefined data transfer structure from ERP to BW, datacubes, queries, etc and BOBJ provides nice frontend tool for better data presentation. Meanwhile as infocubes/data are not physically in BOBJ side, the database maintenance work is not as demanding as ERP or BW.
Sorry that I am not an expert on BW or BOBJ...
Best regards,
Victor

  • While back up and restoring the business intelligence site collection in sharepoint 2010

    Hi,
    i am trying to take backup of business intelligence site collection from one sharepoint server and restoring it to the 2nd sharepoint server,backup and restore successfully completed.i have configured all the performance point services on new server also.
    but still i am getting below error:-
    An exception occurred while rendering a Web control. The following diagnostic information might help to determine the cause of this problem: Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.BpmException: The filter no longer exists or you do not have permission
    to view it. PerformancePoint Services error code 20700.
    Can anybody suggest me how to resolve these error.
    And the dashboard is looking like below:-

    Hey Surbi
    I'm facing the same issue, actually restored a backup of the BI site collection into a different web app (on the same server) but get the same errors as you!
    Looking into it the connection to the report or filter (whatever artefact it is) needs to be refreshed so technically the report doesn't exist as far as the performance web part is concerned!
    However when I re-attached the web part to the filter or report I got a different error... 'This data source no longer exists'
    So basically I found I had to re-create the reports and filters etc in Dashboard Designer... to re-create the dashboards. I did one page and don't want to spend months re-doing them!
    Anyone come up with a way of preserving the web parts references to performance point items and the items connections to their data source in a restore of a site collection?

  • Use coherence in Business Intelligence area

    Hello, Everyone,
    I am just wondering that is it possible to use coherence in business intelligence area? Does anyone has such experience?
    As we know, building BI application is quite different from the online trading applications.
    If we try to use database to fulfill a BI application, every SQL statement would process tons of data .
    Maybe we should wait hours or days for one result sometime.
    Therefore, I am thinking of the coherence. How could this platform help us? If we seperate data on different grid nodes and process on different nodes, that would be faster than pure database environment.
    However, there are two significant problems that I could not avoid.
    First, how to seperate data? if it beame a very complicated work, I think database would be better. At least, database provides one node partition mechanisms.
    Second, how about the performance of QueryMap? Unfortunately, I did some test on QueryMap, the performance of QueryMap is quite worse than Oracle database.
    Please give me some suggestions.
    Best regards

    Hi Moshin,
    You have to learn SAP BW 3.5 along with ABAP and BI 7.0. Because BW 3.5 is the earlier version of BI 7.0.
    BO is widely used for Reporting which can work on any database.
    It's better to join in SAP Authorized Institutes like the following. It may be expensive.

    2. Yash

  • Business Intelligence Installation Error

    I am having an issue creating a package within BIDS.  So, far my PC has the following installed.
    1.  Microsoft Server SQL 2008 R2
         a.  Management Studio
         b.  SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Tools
    2.  Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
    I originally had installed SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services, but read that BIDS will not work with SQL R2 Express edition, so I did an Edition Upgrade,  to upgrade from the Express version to the SQL 2008 R2 Standard Edition,
    which ran successfully.  I thought that this would resolve my issue trying to create a package in BIDS,  after rebooting but no deal.  The exact error message I recieve is:
    Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document
    To design Integration Services Packages in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), BIDS has to be installed in one of these editions of SQL Server 2008 R2: Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation. To install BIDS..... 
    Any suggestions to resolve would be appreciated!

    Hi,
    Is Busines Intelligence Development Studio available under All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.
    Have you also installed Integration Services along with SQL Server?

  • E-Business Suite Integration with Oracle Business Intelligence

    Hi,
    To integrate E-Business Suite with Oracle Business Intelligence I have done all the configurations as specified in DocId. *552735.1* of Metalink. I have tested the configurations by logging in from EBS and navigating to OBIEE Presentation Services. I'm able to navigate with no errors but not able to view Subject Areas in the Answers link. I'm testing this with 'Administrator' user. When I directly login to Presentation Serivices with the Administrator user I'm able to see the Subject Areas.
    Can anyone have idea what is the problem?
    Thanks in Advance,

    Hi,
    Think I spotted the problem - probably specific to OBIA 7.9.5.
    There is no "Authorization" initialization block: in previous incarnations (e.g. OBIA 7.9.4 and earlier I guess) there was a FndGetResp intialization block that assigned a value to the OBIEE "GROUP" system variable.
    So I did the following and now I'm getting Subject Areas and Answers answers, but Dashboards still not working for me - maybe another issue.
    1. Create system variable GROUP, temporarily with initialization block "Authentication"
    2. Create initialization block "EBS Responsibility to Group" with query (note I've modified based on new session variable name RESP_ID goes to OLTP_EBS_RESP_ID in 7.9.5):
    SELECT RESPONSIBILITY_KEY
    FROM FND_RESPONSIBILITY
    WHERE RESPONSIBILITY_ID = 'valueof(NQ_SESSION.OLTP_EBS_RESP_ID)'
    Set the execution precendence to include EBS Security Context and EBS Single Sign-On Integration
    NB: Had to create dummy variable GROUP_TMP for the "OK" button to come up, will replace that with real GROUP in next steps
    3. Go back and edit System variable GROUP and change initialization block to EBS Responsibility to Group
    4. Go back and edit initialization block EBS Responsibility to Group and remove variable GROUP_TMP
    5. Created an OBIEE Group with name = responsibility key e.g. for my "SBA Administrator" responsibility, key = "SBA_ADMIN_KEY", so I created group named "SBA_ADMIN_KEY"
    6. Made your new group (e.g. SBA_ADMIN_KEY) a member of the Administrators Group
    7. Copy across rpd and restart sa / saw
    Still awaiting response from Oracle Support ... so no guarantees this is correct and no guarantees that it won't break something else that Oracle suggests later!

  • Actual work in MS project project is different than PWA Business Intelligence report

    Hi
    Actual work in MS project project is different than PWA Business Intelligence report 
    (Numbers are different) Di u know why?

    Hi Project help,
    As mentionned before, I suggest you to open the period, recall the timesheet, update actuals and submit
    it, approve it by the project manager, open the plan and publish it.
    The steps can be performed using a delegation session if you don't want to bother the team member and the
    project manager.
    Hope this helps,

  • Daily Business Intelligence V/s Balanced ScoreBoard

    I'm a discoverer developer trying to understand the difference between Daily Business Intelligence and Balanced ScoreBoard. Both of them use KPI's right? I've a vision installation of 11.5.10 and I guess I need to install patch to get DBI as I couldnt find DBI Admin Responsibility in it.

    Hi Raj - Nilesh may back me up on this one?
    May be a bit late for you question - However;
    If you are commencing a new DBI implementation - always go with the latest patch version - currently version 7.2. This is to avoid issues being resolved by Support - who will inevitably, where DBI is concerned, suggest the latest patchset before commencing on any troubleshooting (particularily for FII and FDHM).
    Once you have installed DBI 7.2 and you find you need to create new KPIs, then you do this through DBI Designer - straighforward!
    The only issue is in order to utilise this functionality in DBI Designer on 7.2, you will need to patch up for BSC 11i.BSC.J Version 5.3 [(released 21JUL06)  so not available at the commencement of your thread]. Complete 2 Global Setup steps after patching [TIP: Use the old 'Balance Scorecard Manager' responsibility, not the new 'Performance Management Administrator' responsibility as suggested in Cookbooks for DBI Designer to avoid a security issue] - then you can utilise the DBI Designer functionality to 'generated data source' and new KPIs for use in DBI Designer. If you dont do this step and implement BSC then you wont receive the option to generate Data source and create KPIs....

  • Need help in Customization in Oracle Business Intelligence.

    Hi Guru,
    I am working on ODI to customize Oracle Business Intelligence ( Category 1 and Category 2 Customization ). I need comprehensive / detail documentation on "OBI Customization" and "RPD Modification" . Kindly help and advice.
    I use OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1 and ODI 11.1.1.7.0.
    Thanks

    Hello Arshad,
    Thanks for signing you post. It would be easier if you changed your forum handle to your name for communication purposes.
    So I did understand you correctly Ijust wasn't aware that Oracle still uses this somewhat arbitrary wording. Anyways as I said you're looking for a How-To on customizing Oracle BI Applications which means learning how to work with OBIEE and how to work with ODI.
    To have and read the documentation isn't bad - the new one is here by the way: Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Documentation - but places like the Learning Library I posted are a good place as well since your questions are potentially very vast.
    In general for what you call Cat1 changes it's all about
    - finding the source of your new column in a source system or calculating it in the ELT if it is a derived column
    - adding it to your physical schema of the target database
    - adjusting your ELT processes to fill it
    - import the new column into the RPD physical layer or create it manually
    - map it to a new logical column in a logical table in the business model
    - expose it in the presentation layer
    Cat2 is more of the same but you also need to integrate it into your physical model (both actual physical model in the database and the physical model metadata of the RPD) in terms of joins etc and your ELT-work becomes a lot more extensive (table construction, key resolution, SCDing, partitioning, indexing,..........).
    As you can see there's a lot of things to cover so we can't just "give you an answer". You're basically touching topics which take time to learn and assimilate and to just jump in and start doing isn't necesssarily somehting I'd suggest. Best take a training course on OBIA since otherwise you may implicitely "just do" things because you were told so in here or by someone and you'll never see and be able to comprehend the underlying concepts and techniques.

  • SharePoint: Business Intelligence - PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer

    I have a departmentalized site collection for my company on SharePoint 2013. The IT Department handles service requests via the portal. These service requests are stored in a document library as InfoPath forms. I've created a Business Intelligence site
    to measure and assess the performance of the IT department in handling service requests.
    So far, I've only been able to create a data connection to the SharePoint library where the requests are. However, I'm not familiar with the Dashboard Designer's interface, controls and functionalities. Most of the documentation and tutorials online apply
    to only SharePoint 2010 or an Analysis Services template (which to my knowledge works only with SQL databases). What I'm seeking is a guide to creating a complete dashboard for a SharePoint List (2013).
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Well there's this book:
    http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0790145372703.do
    However, if you don't have to use PP, then I'd suggest not using it. You can create an Excel Workbook that connects to the library and create a dashboard from there.
