Difference between OWB & AWM

Hello, team!
I'm just wondering what is the difference between Oracle Warehouse Builder and Analytic Workspace Manager.
As I know, the OWB has appropriate instruments which help in organizing datawarehouse (Physical Layer) and build complete analytical workspace (Business Layer - dimensions, cubes, logical and fact tables, logical joins). It also include ETL, data quality and other necessary capabilities.
At the same time, as I know, the AWM has only capabilities for building business model.
That' why, I can't understand, why should I use AWM, if I can use more complete&comprehensive platform - OWB.
Maybe I am wrong. If so, please, help me to understand this question and understand when should I use AWM and when - OWB.
Thank you in advance,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
When you deploy any MOLAP structure (dimension or cube) it will be created inside a analytic workspace. You can login to AWM using the target uid and see the structure. But if you are really going with OLAP then my suggestion is to directly use AWM instead of deploying through OWB.
When you create dimensions and cubes in AWM you can load the cubes and query them using BI Excel addin or discoverer for OLAP. They can also be queried through SQL.
There may be many time series calculation/complex queries which can be answered through OLAP. If you have any specific question about OLAP/AWM you can post to [OLAP forum|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=16].
Thanks

What is the difference between owb repository owner and repository user?

what is the difference between owb repository owner and repository user?

Hi,
the repository owner has full rights to do every thing in the repository. There is only one repository owner.
There may be multiple repository user for one of the following two purposes:
1. When working in a team, each team member can be added as a different repository user and can have different grants assigned. That way you can also see who has deployed what objects or who has run a mapping.
2. To be able to deploy into a database schema, that db user user has to be added as repository user as well. Make sure the "user is target schema" checkbox is checked.

Carsten.

Difference between OWB 11g OBE and OWB 10g: Implementation Part I?

I am planning to attend oracle OWB class Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g: Implementation Part I (Data Warehousing and Oracle Business Intelligence) through Oracle University http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?redir_type=13&group_id=1343&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&media=1&source_call=?
Has anyone already taken the class and tell the difference between the class and owb 11g oracle by examples in http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_owb/owb11g_update_extend_knowledge/less1_setting_up/less1_setting_up.html?
If there is not much difference, I woukd like to learn it by myself through Oracle OWB 11g OBE.
Thanks in advance. WS

If you seriously intend to take up OWB as your career path then i would advise you to go to Oracle unversity and attend classes , if you are going to use owb only for a project/small works then use Oracle by example.
Further to this if you company is sponsoring you then take oracle unversity course as "every little helps" and its never too bad to learn something the right way.
Its like making a choice whether to learnmusic form the web(online) or going to a music teacher and learning music. I would prefer the second approach.

Difference between Analytic workspace manager and AWB

Hi could anyone tell me the difference between AWM and AWB , . I finished designing my cube using AWB and i was planing to use OBIEE to browse and view my cube for reporting etc but it turns out that OWB cubes arent diretly compatible with OBIEE workspace we have to use AWM to make it compatible or something.. So why use OWB in the first place ???

Hi Jan,
The difference is that one uses a memory mapped file and one uses direct nio memory (as part of the memory allocated by the JVM process) to store the data. Both allow storing cache data off heap making it possible to store more data with a single cache node (JVM) without long GC pauses.
If you are using a 32 bit JVM, the JVM process will be limited to a total of ~3GB on Windows and 4GB on Linux/Solaris. This includes heap and off heap memory allocation.
Regarding the size limitations for the nio-file manager Please see the following doc for more information.
With the release of 3.5 there is now the idea of a Partitioned backing map which helps create larger (up to 8GB of capacity) for nio storage. Please refer to the following doc.
Both can be used to query data but it should be noted that the indexes will be stored in heap.

Differences between oracle 10gr2 and 11gr2 warehouse bulider

Hi All,
Could you please let me know the main differences between Oracle 10gr2 and Oracle 11gR2 warehouse builder.
Also , it would be great if anyone point me to the document where i can see the major differences.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Hi Naveen,
The major difference between OWB10gR2 and 11gR2 is the target RDBMS.
In 10gR2 you have to use ORACLE as your target RDBMS (unless you are going for DB Gateways, that is a complete different story).
Where as in 11gR2 allows you to use any RDBMS as your target system . This is achieved by Code-Template mapping.
All is needed is that proper jdbc driver for the target system.
Also 11gR2 supports OBIEE RPD creation and etc.

Difference between Dimension Id and Dimension Key

I am reading the third chapter of Rittman's OBIEE book on design of Repository.
It says while building the BMM, don't drag the dimension Id columns from physical layer to logical layer as the BI Server takes care of the join for you but make sure you drag across the dimension key columns as you will need these later on to create your logical table keys.
Can someone enlighten me on what is the difference between a dimension id and dimension key (may be with an example).
Thanks.

Besides the theory says that a fact table can reference any level of a dimension, I couldn't do it with OWB. I don't know if there is a specific way to do that, but I only could assign a dimension detail level to a fact table.
The ID's can have different values when I use a hierarchy in a dimension. OWB generates automatically negative ID's for the more summarized levels.
For example, a product dimension with 2 levels: category and detail. If the product has 4 categories and 20 products (detail level), the table has 4 rows for categories with negative id's. Each row has a category and the fields specific for detail level are empty. The table will have other 20 rows for the detail level, with all fields filled, and all id's positive. The table will have 24 rows in the end.

Difference between MLD exports

Hello,
what are the exact differences between an export (1) taken directly from an object in the navigation tree, and an export taken from an snapshot (2) of that same object...
(1) object > export (MDL)
(2) object > snapshot > export (MDL)
Are the two MDL files equivalent?
Thanks!
Greetings,
Philip

Hi Philip,
Do you mean that you take a snapshot first and then MDL export? Essentially snapshots are versions of the object, however stored within the OWB repository.
MDL export and Snapshot can serve as equivalent. The MDL exports can be stored in a PVCS or other file check-in system.
Did this answer the question?

Difference between abort_exec_request and deactivate_execution scripts

Does anybody can explain the difference between abort_exec_request and deactivate_execution scripts which come with OWB?
The first one will "abort the job in a managed way" the other "deactivate it so that the job is Completed in a managed way". What does that exactly mean?
Thanks in advance for some explanations!!

Hi Tonguç,
Your AQ have four subcriber. "State" column value chances* after all subscribers dequeue the message.
On the other hand, you won't see this result because of retention parameter. if you don't set retention time, message deleted from queue after dequeueing.
Look at "retention_time"
ex :
EXEC dbms_aqadm.alter_queue(
queue_name => 'AQ_MARKETING_DATA_QUEUE',
retention_time => dbms_aqadm.INFINITE);
also you can set this parameter when creating your queue
* i ignored failing cases, such as exception queue etc.

Difference between OLAP, Data Mining and Data Warehousing

I am new to the above topics, but I know oracle DBA very well. I would like to move into the above field. Hence, can anyone tell me the basic oracle softwaare used for OLAP, Data Mining and Data warehousing and also in brief the difference between these three.
I would be great helpfull to me.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Manoj Mathew,
Check these links to what Oracle has to say about its own software specific for these topics:
DataMining (tool is Oracle Data Miner): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/odm/index.html
Datawarehousing (tool is OWB): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/index.html

Difference between "Archive/restore" and "Export/import"

What's the difference between the utilities "Archive/restore" and "Export/import"?
Which utility must I use for putting my maps from a development environment to a production environment?
For the moment I am using version 9.0.3.
I will migrate to 9.2 when the version for AIX is available.

Marc,
You should use OWB Metadata Export/Import utilities (not to be confused with Database Export/Import utilities).
The Archive and Restore utilities will be desupported in the next release of OWB.
The exact differences are documented in "OWB 9.2 User Guide", page 15-12, "Differences Between Archive and Export" and page 15-23, "Differences Between Restore and Import". The same sections are available in "OWB 9.0.3 User Guide", pages 11-45 and 11-46 respectively.

The Difference Between?

Ok so I believe I know the answer here but asking anyway.
What is the difference between the adobe creative cloud team license vs the adobe creative cloud enterprise license?
is the team licence basically individually licences products per account users?
and is the enterprise one license that covers multiple users at once?
Thanks and sorry for the question but had to verify.

Hi tbirdbrent ,
Thank you for posting on the forums, the answer to your question is as follows.
1) Creative Cloud for teams brings together the very latest Creative Cloud desktop apps, updates and upgrades the moment they’re released, and all of the services and business features your team needs to create their best work and collaborate with their peers. Adobe offers two Creative Cloud for teams plans — you can opt for a complete plan (all apps and services) or a single-app plan such as Photoshop CC (access to one app and select services). With each option, you’ll receive access to the same easy-to-use web-based admin console that allows the administrator to centrally purchase, deploy, and manage all seats across your organization — whether single app or complete — under one membership agreement.
2) Creative Cloud for enterprise is for organizations with large deployments that require centralized provisioning and customized deployment of apps and services. Enterprises also receive enterprise customer support and expert services. Creative Cloud for enterprise also works with Digital Publishing Suite; Adobe Anywhere for video; and Adobe Marketing Cloud, which includes Adobe Experience Manager — all sold separately.
Also, the team licences is not individually licences products per account users and the same goes with the enterprise license.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

What is difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.

SAP Seniors,
Can you please let me know what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix.
I read the SAP help, it is confusing for me. it looks like both are same from help. please help me.
Thank you
Anitha.

HI,
Here is a brief description of difference between SY_TABIX and SY_INDEX and using them with several conditions.
SY-TABIX
Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
SY-INDEX
In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Pavan.

What is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

hi nagaraju
sy-tabix is in Internal table, current line index. So it can only be used while looping at the internal table.
sy-index is in Loops, number of current pass. This you can use in other loop statements also (like do-enddo loop, while-endwhile)
SY-INDEX is a counter for following loops: do...enddo, while..endwhile
SY-TABIX is a counter for LOOP...ENDLOOP, READ TABLE...
Here is an example from which you can understand the difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.
Itab is an internal table with the following data in it.
id Name
198 XYZ
475 ABC
545 PQR.
loop at itab where id > 300.
write :/ itab-id, itab-name , sy-tabix, sy-index.
endloop.
My output will be :
475 ABC 2 1
545 PQR 3 2
Sy-tabix is the index of the record in internal table.
sy-index gives the no of times of loop passes.
So, for the first record in the output (475 ABC), 2 is the index of the record in internal table and as it is first time loop pass occured, sy-index value is 1.
