Creating Metadata

Question

I want to import an Express Database in the AWM (10.2.0.3). He shows me Objects in the Object View and not in the Model View. I want to create the new metadata that he shows me the Objects in the Model View.
I have tried it with the create db Standard Form and he brings me many errors. Oracle told me that this function is not implement in the Version 10.2.0.3.
Know somebody a way to program this Metadata?

Answer 1

The migration process might not be the best route for you as the requirements for compliance with Standard Form may not map to the structures within your original Express database. For example, in Express it was quite command to have separate dimensions to manage years, quarters and months. This allowed for extremely flexible reporting as years and quarters could appear on different axis within a report.
I would think the easiest and quickest way to resolve this issue would be to create a new analytic workspace using AWM and rebuild the dimensions and cubes you require using the GUI. This will allow you to make use of some of the new features such as cube compression and cube partitioning.
You will also need to determine the loading process for your cubes. You could continue to load data using Express DML programs, however, I would suggest you try to convert your application to load from relational tables/views as this will make maintenance going forward much easier. If you are currently using flat files to load your Express database these can be exposed to AWM via external tables and can then be used within the mapping editor.
Hope this helps
