Cube in Oracle Olap 10g

Hi,
We are planning to make a migration of an Existing Cube to Oracle Olap 10g.
Can anybody tell me the complete process to load a OLAP cube, Is it possible to load Cube data from a multi-dimensional variable ?
or, if anyone has a previous experience in this kind of migration and want to share expertice/advice/knoledge.
Where do I get Analitical Workspace Manager?
Is the cube managed like an object?
Thanks

Hi,
This is not the forum for Analytic Workspace Manager. I would suggest to try the oracle olap forum for your questions.

Largest Oracle OLAP cube

Forum members,
What is the largest Oracle OLAP cube that is out there in terms of total size, number of dimensions, and metrics? The company I recently joined uses Microsoft SSAS for building cubes pulling data from an Oracle DB. The size of the Microsoft SSAS cube is 18 TB (Tera Bites). I am encouraging these people to use Oracle OLAP, but there is push back saying Oracle OLAP won't scale to the extent Microsoft SSAS has.
I need some real data to defend my case. Has any one moved from Microsoft SSAS to Oracle OLAP?
Thanks,
Logan

Logan,
In addition to the link that David provided, some more points are:
(1). With cube compression, it could be that the same 18 TB cube in MSAS is smaller in OLAP. Its hard to prove it without doing a test load.
(2). Microsoft does have a very feature-rich front-end to develop/build dimensions and cubes for MSAS, compared to Oracle OLAP's AWM.
Most of the work is handled in relational sql-views before loading dimensions and cubes in Oracle-OLAP. That is why there is relatively less functionality in AWM.
(3). Another thing I heard about in MSAS is "Scoped Assignments". I am not sure what it is, so I can't say how it can be done in Oracle-OLAP. If your customer currently use this MSAS feature, then you can post a question on this forum providing some details.
(4). MSAS does provide good Excel reporting. If your client will continue using Excel, then you should look at Simba's Oracle OLAP MDX plugin for Excel. Search this forum and you will find information about it, or goto http://www.simba.com/MDX-Provider-for-Oracle-OLAP.htm
(5). Writeback is another feature that can be done easily in MSAS. With Oracle-OLAP, you will have to come up with a custom (although simple) solution, where the data will be written into a table first and then loaded into Oracle-OLAP cubes. Its a very very quick process.
(6). There are more choices for reporting tools compared to MSAS. Since Oracle-OLAP cubes are queried through SQL SELECT statements, as long as a reporting tool can generate SELECT statements for an Oracle database, it can also work with Oracle-OLAP.
(7). Finally, it is much easier to federate (or combine) relational and multi-dimensional data together between Oracle-OLAP and Relational, as both are in the same database. So you may not have to store all the data into OLAP cube, what is currently loaded into MSAS cube.
Overall, its a slightly different way of doing things between OLAP and MSAS. But I am almost certain that with the power and scalability of Oracle database, Oracle-OLAP will perform better than MSAS. You just have to know how to convert those MSAS cubes/dimensions into OLAP cubes/dimensions.

Oracle OLAP Universe

Not sure where to post this so apologize if this is not the right place for this post.
I am at a client's where there is a requirement to build a universe on top of an Oracle OLAP (10g) cube to use with WebI, Crystal, Xcelsius etc. that they want to begin using. Here are the issues I am facing and need some help with.
1) They have a view built on top of their OLAP that I have been told is what is used for reporting. There are also 3 heirarchies that are maintained in Peoplesoft. The have developed a reporting interface using BO SDK API's and have their own custom SQL engine that they have built using Java. They use this SQL engine attached to a Crystal template to build their reports (The last part didn't make sense to me so quoting it verbatim as I have limited familiarity). When I try creating a universe using the view mentioned above in Designer, it throws an error with the mesasge E_METADATA_EMPTY_LEVELLIST. When I try using Universe builder to create the universe, as soon as I right click on the cube to select 'create universe', it hangs up infinitely. My question is if this is even possible and if so, what is the solution to my problem above.
2) The second issue is that while the fact are in the OLAP, they maintain 2-3 heirarchies in PeopleSoft. From what I have gathered by talking to them, they use some DBLINK from the OLAP to connect to Peoplesoft and join the OLAP view with the Peoplesoft heirarchy when they dynamically build their queries to fetch the data for their reports. If I have to do this in the universe as well, how would I go about doing it or is it even possible?
Really need an answer fast. If what I'm trying to do is possible then I would need to some help with the 'how and if the answer is 'no' then I would need a proper explanation for that too.
Appreciate the help !!

Hi,
Rather than move all your data to another cube like SSAS as has been suggested, or go back to the relational source, why not just use Voyager to connect directly to the Oracle OLAP cube you have already built?
Simba's MDX Provider for Oracle OLAP allows Voyager to do this.
This would be much simpler than introducing a new tier of server (SSAS), and allows you to take advantage of the performance of the OLAP engine in the Oracle database.
http://www.simba.com/oracle
in particular, look at the document that describes how to set this up:
http://www.simba.com/docs/Using-Simba-MDX-Provider-for-Oracle-OLAP-with-SAP-BusinessObjects-Voyager.pdf

Are there any Oracle OLAP ODI Knowledge Modules for Oracle Olap 11g ?

Hi guys, wasnt sure where to post this so I put it here and the ODI forum
Does anybody know when Oracle OLAP Knowledge Modules, will be available for Oracle Olap 11g. It appears that the knowledge modules released with Oracle Data Integrator 10.1.3.5, currently only work with Oracle Olap 10g...
If there is no timeline, does anybody know of work around to get ODI reverses working on Analytical Workspaces built in Oracle Olap 11g
Thank you
Richard
Edited by: RichardSmith on May 15, 2009 11:51 AM

Raise a service request with Oracle Support (Metalink) for your system slow issue. May be, they will recommend you the workarounds for the issues which are not yet available for 11g in the form of Patches.

Oracle DB 10g and BI Discoverer for OLAP - Dimension Attributes

Hi,
We are using Oracle Database 10g release 1 with partitioning, data mining and OLAP options and Analytic Workspace Manager 10.2.0.1.0A to create the multidimensional objects. For the user dimensions created using AWM we have custom attributes like HireDate, StartDate, Sales Personnel Role etc., For reporting purposes we are using Discoverer for OLAP. In this Discoverer version, I don't see an explicit provision to drag these attributes onto the worksheet. We are only able to filter based on these attributes and capture the measures...
Can someone throw light on this? Also, if there is a possibility to drag these attributes onto the worksheet can that be expounded?
Thanks in advance!

Again this depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you define an attribute against a dimension it takes very little space as it is not directly connected to a cube and so no data is stored against that attribute.
If, however, you have a 4D revenue cube (product, geography, channel, time) with products attributes COLOR and PACK SIZE and you want to view revenue additionally borken-out by COLOR and PACK SIZE as well as the other four dimensions then your schema will require additional storage space. However, 10g compressed cubes and sparsity options do help to manage the explosion of data points as the number of dimensions increases. This should allow you to easily add attributes as dimensions into your cube.
One thing to remember is that most users start to struggle when confronted with more than 9 dimensions. So although Oracle OLAP can create extremely large dimensional models, users prefer their cubes to have 9 or fewer dimensions.
Hope this helps,
Keith

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+.

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.

Can Crystal Connect to Oracle OLAP Cube

I have CR Professional XI installed. Does it have the capability to connect to Oracle 10g OLAP Cubes created in Oracle AWM?

Hi Tommyi,
    For Oracle OLAP Cube, are we referring to Hyperien ESSbase?
    If the answer is true, then we can create a connection in Crystal, under OLAP, to create an OLAP connection to ESSbase in CR.
   Please let me know if this answers your question.
Best Regards

Refresh ORACLE OLAP cube

I am new at Oracle OLAP programming, and just wanted to know about Cube´s Data Update. For example, right now I maintained and processed the cube for 2012 data; 2013 data is ready on the fact table and I need to include it on the cube as well...
Thanks!

Are you having any issue loading 2013 data into your cube, using AWM "Maintain Cube" option?
The default cube loading behavior is to add new data during each cube build and keep existing data (unless it is overridden in a cell).
Take a look at the sql script generated by AWM. As long as there is no CLEAR command in it, then your 2012 data will not be cleared.
You can write your own DBMS_CUBE.BUILD statement.
DBMS_CUBE.BUILD procedure provides many ways of loading cube data (as well as dimension refreshes), without using AWM:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e16760/d_cube.htm#CHDFIFIA
If you search this forum for "DBMS_CUBE" (select Forum = 'OLAP' and Date Range = 'ALL') , you will find lot of examples for loading cubes and dimensions.
Some examples are:
Mapping to Relational tables
Re: Enabling materialized view for fast refresh method
DBMS CUBE BUILD
Since you are new to all this, initially you should use AWM for all maintenance, and use the scripts generated by it.
Only if you come to a point where AWM cannot be used for something, then write your own DBMS_CUBE.BUILD statement.

Help on OLAP 10g Cube

Hello Experts ,
Anybody has idea why simple SUM on measure group by dimension on my OLAP 10g cube performing so slow even a simple query taking lot of time and even not returning the result , Is it due to performance cause or due to some design issue or due to DB pramaters which restricting the cube data to be returned ?Is it known issue with database bug . I am on AWm 10g latest with 10g 64 bit DB 10.2.0.4 .
As we are completly stuck and not being able to progress the query on simple cube build on 20K data wiith 7 dimension However we tried with 2 dimension and it works perfectly fine .
any advice ?
Thanks ,
Debashis

Hi David ,
Even we tried to perform a query like :
Select * from mycube_view where measure1 is not null ;
also:
Select distinct measure1 from mycube_view ;
The query is running for ages without any result .
Also I can see 10g style cube views having diff structures like for 10g all the dimensions attributes present in the cube view itself . So for my OBIEE I could use single table based reorting I believe right ? But I wonder for OBIEE I need to put aggregate on my measure attribute or not ! for 11g I had put the aggregation like SUM against the measure attrbt there.
Many Thanks,
DxP

How to query Oracle OLAP cube?

Does ODP.NET support querying a cube in Oracle? Does it support the MDX syntax?
If ODP .NET does not support it, which other library does?
Thanks,

OBIEE 11G HOLAP( drill through) from ORACLE OLAP to Relaltional table

Hi Experts...
I have some idea that the drill through from an essbase cube to an relational cube can be possible with few limitations in OBIEE 10g. I am looking for the same feature with ORACLE OLAP option . I have OLAP cube built in 11g (leve5 - granularity to one of the dimension) , and relational has 7 levels. In OBIEE once drill down to the level 5 it has fetched data from OLAP , and going beyond to level 6 -7 then it should get the data from relational table.
Do anyone had gone through such solution, Please kndly share your inputs and documents which would be helpful.
Thanks
S

This is very easy. It's really no different from setting up OBIEE to drill from one table to another. Let's assume that you have your cube mapped in OBIEE using the OBIEE plug-in for Analytic Workspace Manager. Here is an outline of the steps:
1. Add the dimension table and fact table to the OBIEE physical layer.
2. Add the new level to the OBIEE dimension object in the business layer.
3. Add the dimension table as a new logical table source to the existing dimension table in the business layer.
4. Add the fact table as new table in the business layer.
5. Define joins in the physical and business model as appropriate.
6. Set set keys in the tables and the dimension as appropriate.
7. Set the level for the new dimension table to the appropriate level in the dimension.
Again, it's really best to just think about this as drilling from one table to another.

Oracle OLAP input and retrieve data

Hi,
I'm new in the oracle environment and I'm searching for an advice.
I installed oracle database 10g with the olap option. I would like to know how to input multi-dimensional data in OLAP with isqlplus in command line, is this possible?
then, how to retrieve this data, and if possible in an xml format?
thanks a lot

There are a number of ways to do this. As far as I know there is no direct way to pass data into an OLAP cube, however, other people on this forum might be able to correct me regarding this.
What you need to do is to map your dimension and cube objects to relational tables. You can then schedule the loads directly using Analytic Workspace Manager or by using a PL/SQL package generated by Analytic Workspace Manager.
Therefore, your XML stream needs to be converted into a relational representation so it can used in a mapping. To do this you could use the XML engine within the database to store your XML data and then convert it to a relational view.
To then extract OLAP data to an XML format I would recommend creating relational views over the multi-dimensional cubes and dimensions. Analytic Workspace Manager has an add-on module that will create the views for you. Once you have the relational view you can then use the XML engine again to convert this to an XML representation.
Another approach might be to use Warehouse Builder 10g R2 to manage this whole process for you as it can use XML objects as data sources and can publish mappings as web services to extract data from an object.
I am not aware of any white papers or documentation that will specifically help you with this so you may need to look at lots of manuals to make this work. But if you have any questions then just post them on this forum and hopefully you will get answers.
Hope this helps
