Discoverer support Oracle 9i OLAP engine

Hi,
Do anyone knows Discoverer supports Oracle 9i OLAP?
Pls advise.
Thanks
Winson

Hi,
Oracle OLAP is a multidimensional database on the top of the Oracle 9i database. It works like Oracle Express(MOLAP server).
Anyway, you don't need to install Oracle OLAP option when you use Discoverer.

Discoverer and Oracle 9i Olap Option

Hello,
I have a question regarding Discoverer and OLAP option in Oracle 9i. Is it required to buy OLAP Option
with Oracle9i when using 9iAS Discoverer or can I use it without this option?
As I know Oracle BI Beans make use of 9i OLAP Option and Discoverer Graphs use Graph Component of BI
Beans, so how this situation concerns OLAP Option (I haven't found any information that OLAP Option is required to use Discoverer)?

Hybrid OLAP model in Oracle 9i OLAP

Please, does anybody know if with Oracle 9i OLAP Technology is possible to create an hybrid model? In Express I've used the RAM for mapping dimensions and fact tables with Express multidimensional cubes, so when I ran queries (i.e. OSA queries) the RAM/Express engine knew dynamically what data to retrieve from the fact tables (i.e. detail data) and what data to retrieve from the Express cubes (i.e. aggregated data) in a hidden way for the end user.
So, in Oracle 9i OLAP which is in charge of accomplishing the RAM function? and if this functionality exists, could the Analytic Workspace Manager create the metadata of this hybrid model?
Secondly, OWB 9.0.4 is capable of creating the OLAP metadata from the result of a fact load mapping; do you think that the OWB future releases would allow to create the hybrid metadata?, for later to be exploited from BI Beans?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Pablo Ibarra.

Support for a hybrid model will be implemented in a future release.
Warehouse Builder, as a design and implementation platform, will continue to evolve as OLAP evolves.

Oracle 11g OLAP & SQL

Hi All
Our company is in the process of doing a POC warehouse where we are using Oracle OLAP extensively for summary management. I have been tasked with porting all our existing reports (Cognos) from using an Informix backend to start using Oracle. The OLAP team has created some cube views for me but Im struggling to get my around how Im going to use them for reporting purposes.
Example
1) Im using the following sql (abbreviated) to get my data:
select
v_product.product_description.
v_product.level_name,
v_sales.sales,
v_sales.calc_measure
from v_product, v_sales, v_location, v_time
where ... all the joins....
v_product.level_name in ('DEPARTMENT', 'CLASS')
and v_location.level_name = 'TOTAL'
and v_time.level_name = 'TOTAL'
2) This brings back data that looks like:
product_description level_name sales calc_measure
MEAT DEPARTMENT 232323 23.56
POULTRY DEPARTMENT 43444 35.23
BEEF CLASS 232323 23.56
CHICKEN CLASS 67455 35.23
LAMB CLASS 73444 23.56
PORK CLASS 55555 35.23
3) I need to create a list report thats grouped by department and for each department shows all the classes but off the data above is very difficult. I cannot just select the all the class values and then do the aggregation in the report as there is a calculated measure so I need to select the value for that level from the cube view. Is it possible in one sql statement or will I need more?
Thanks for any ideas

Dave thanks for your reply. Please excuse my poor example this was my first day using cube views and I cannot login to my work setup from home so going by memory alone.
To answer your question
1. We are using 11g AW
2. I don't remember the exact cube view names but not relevant to my question (I think)
3. Alas the oracle forums don't support much formatting else I would have provided an ascii example. I have uploaded the sample report output here http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk145/angusgoosemiller/sample.gif
Better Example
1. From what I can gather if your query more that one level in the same dimension from a cube view you get the results denormalized as rows. So effectively for my report I what the department and class levels from the product hierarchy where class is a child of department and some relevant measures one of which is a calculated measure. If I select this from the cube view I am getting results in the form:
DEPARTMENT LEVEL ... row values
DEPARTMENT LEVEL ... row values
CLASS LEVEL ... row values
CLASS LEVEL ... row values
2) My report is a list report that is grouped by department and for each department all the class records are displayed with the measures. There must also be a department total for every department level and a grand total for the report. If the calculated measure was not included I could just return all the class records as the there is a department attribute defined that is also in the cube view and calculate all the department values dynamically in the report. However due to the calculated measure and probably as a best practice from a performance/redundancy perspective I only want to select from the cube view in its aggregated form like is currently happening.
3) From a report design perspective this provides some challenges as relationally hierarchy levels are normally modeled as columns and we use to process calculated measures dynamically in the report. Going forward we would like all the calculations etc happening in the OLAP engine.
4) So basically the way I see it I need the following from the cube:
4.1) The department records
4.2) The class records
4.3) the department total records
4.4) the grand total record for all departments
Can I get that in one SQL statement in such a manner that I can produce a report? How would an oracle based reporting solution get the data, via sql or directly from the cube via the olap api.
Thanks for your help I really appreciate any advice!
Cheers
Angus

Installing BI Discoverer Plus for multidimensional OLAP ?

Hi there,
it seems I really need to ask for help after getting lost in the forest that Oracle Software is. I hope my question is not too bothersome to people on this forum. So here's the situation:
I have an Oracle 11g database on a CentoOS server, with OLAP option. I have created a simple star schema from my data and an analytical worksheet (although not without pain, there's another thread about that). Now I wish to access the OLAP data through a tool on my Windows XP workstation and be able to manipulate the data to create reports. My goal is to create a small demo to help convincing our client that OLAP reports is the way to go to play with their data, create custom reports, etc. In fact what I'd like to do is to play with the OLAP model like I used to a few years ago when I was using Business Objects as as client, I think they called it Universe Management or something. The thing is you get your model elements (measures, levels, attributes, etc) as icons in a palette and you can drag&drop them on a worksheet to dynamically create reports, crosstabs, etc. That was very nice and accessible to almost any user.
Now my question: what piece of Oracle software should I install on each machine to be able to do that ? I tried with Oracle Client BI Tools on XP but this seems to only include Discoverer "classic" or whatever, that only manipulates relational data. I think I need Discoverer "plus", but where is it located ? This is what I found on the website: "OracleBI Discoverer can be installed from the Oracle Business Intelligence CD". Well ok, but which CD ? There seems to be several of them, like Oracle BI EE, Oracle BI SE, Oracle BI SE One, Oracle BI Tools, etc. Additionaly do I really need to install a full-blown Application Server on the CentOS system to access Discoverer Plus ? This frightens me a bit, you know, I'm aiming for a small demo with two or three tables, I'd be thankful not to have to spend a whole week installing a web infrastrucutre for that.
Well this all looks somewhat confusing, so I thought I'd be better off asking those who know, hence my post. Again I hope this doesn't sound to bothersome.
Thanks for your help!
Christian

Hi Gareth and all,
in fact I have installed the "Oracle BI Tools" for windows (as_windows_x86_bi_tools_101202.zip) which give me access to
- Oracle Discoverer Administrator
- Oracle Discoverer Desktop
However according to the [Discoverer documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13917_03/1intro.htm] these are not the tools I'm looking for; as it says : "if you want to create new worksheets and analyze data from both relational and multi-dimensional data sources across the Web, you will use Discoverer Plus". As it seems, Discoverer Desktop only accesses relational data through an EUL, I really would like to play with my OLAP cube, because I'm intending to create a demo of what will eventually be a much larger OLAP system.
So I'm still desperately looking for Discoverer "Plus". From the page you indicate I had already installed not the full AS but the "Business Intelligence" CD, which is supposed to include Discoverer (as indicated in the 'Included" list). I did a "complete" install, however I'm still unable to locate anything ressembling Discoverer. I have Publisher, Dashboard, Delivers, Marketing, Disconnected Analytics... There's Answers that might be similar to Discoverer, but it looks like a whole different beast and much more demanding (like I'm not even able to figure out how to define a new data source). Well I was hoping to be able to view my tiny cube in a few clicks and "Discoverer Plus OLAP" looked like the right tool for that.
So the next step might be to install the full AS, however it'll take the whole week-end to merely download the 4 CDs. And will it include Discoverer PLus in the end, or am I getting to come back empty-handed again ? Well this is all getting a bit discouraging, please if anyone here knows a convenient way to end up graphically manipulating an OLAP cube and creating simple reports from it please advise ! :-)
Anyway thanks all for your support,
Chris

Oracle 10g OLAP option

Hi all
Do we support creating a universe against an Oracle 10g OLAP database and how do we do this to report against OLAP data?
I notice that there isn't an OLAP universe option for this, so I presume that if we can then we do this via OLAP SQL expressions?
Thank you for your help and kind regards,
Deam

Hi,
You are right, we are supporting Oracle OLAP 10g using SQL.
In fact we provide an option in Universe Designer where you can automatically create an Oracle view based on an AW (Analytical Workspace) and then generate the universe:<ul><li>Select "Metadata exchange" menu option from "File" menu
<li>Then select "Oracle OLAP 9i/10G/11g" option
</ul>You can therefore customize the universe by adding objects, filters, measures, etc.
You can also add other tables in the scema in order to provide drill-though capabilities.

Didier

PI 7.0 SP 11 support oracle cursor ?

Hi
Does PI 7.0 SP 11 support oracle cursor ? Because i need to send multiple rows data to oracle store procedure.
Where do i have to search about the information how to call oracle store procedure with ref cursor input
Regards
Fernand

Thank you Raj,
I manage to calling store procedure with normal input (single), but then still got problem to supply data to store proc with input CURSOR.
Base on link that you send me, i get this line out
"CURSOR (output; only in conjunction with the Oracle JDBC driver)." is it meaning that JDBC adapter does not support CURSOR for input ? even SP 11 ?
This is my sample oracle store procedure :
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE DB2_PAYSLIP IS
CURSOR c_details IS SELECT '' in_nogaji
          , '' in_jenis
          , '' in_no
          , '' in_deskripsi
          , '' in_jumlah
     FROM DUAL;
TYPE ct_details IS REF CURSOR RETURN c_details%ROWTYPE;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_ins_payslip(in_cur IN OUT db2_payslip.ct_details) IS
v_in db2_payslip.c_details%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
      LOOP
            FETCH in_cur INTO v_in;
           INSERT INTO PAYSLIP_DETAIL VALUES(v_in.in_nogaji,v_in.in_jenis,v_in.in_no,v_in.in_deskripsi,v_in.in_jumlah);
           EXIT WHEN in_cur%NOTFOUND;
      END LOOP;
      CLOSE in_cur;
      COMMIT;
END;

Does the oracle golden gate version 11.1.1.1.2 support oracle 12C database ?

Hi experts,
Currently in our environment we are having Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit DB which is replicated via oracle golden gate version 11.1.1.1.2. As per the application team requirement we need to migrate this database to 12C.
Can any one help me on the below queries
Does the oracle golden gate version 11.1.1.1.2 support oracle 12c database ?
Are there any syntax changes in oracle goldengate versions which needs to be taken care in extract or replicat parameter files ?
Thanks,
Mushraff Shaik

Hi,
>>Does the oracle golden gate version 11.1.1.1.2 support oracle 12c database ?
Why do you think it will not support 12c database ?
From a Golden Gate perspective you need to create schema and use that. As you are moving to 12c database, ideally you should think of upgrading Golden Gate 11.1 to 12c so you can use new feature such as Multi Threaded replicate etc..

Which sql developer version will support oracle 8.1.7

hi
which sql developer version will support oracle 8.1.7 or is it necessary to use plsql developer to connect to database (oracle 8.1.7)

Hi,
SQL Developer version 1.2.1 is able to connect to 8.1.7 with limited functionality (prepared reports and browser for objects could not work)..
Next version (tested with 3.2 64-bit) of SQL developer could be "hacked" to connect to 8.1.7 by simply copy file C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip from Oracle client prior 11
into appropriate jdk\jre\lib\ext folder.
