End user functional difference between Cognos ReportNet -VS - OBI EE

Hi all.
Are there any real difference Cognos ReportNet -VS - OBI EE from an end user functionality point of view? I have created a laundry list of end user functionality we are interested in and I can't see the differences. The end user functionality is implemented differently but they all seem to be there.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi
I do believe your statement is correct in that there is little to choose between Cognos and BI EE. They both cost a lot of money too.
Personally I'm waiting on the interface for Discoverer to BI Publisher. When this comes out during the next few months we'll see Discoverer getting another boost.
Best wishes

  • Whats the functional difference between user IDs SAP* and DDIC?

    Whats the functional difference between SAP* and DDIC? Can any one tell me please. I am new here. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Farooq,
    There are three user IDs in various SAP clients.
    1. SAP* (Client 000 and 001)
    SAP* denotes the default super user and has all administrative powers.
    2. DDIC (Client 000 and 001)
    DDIC user is responsible for the maintenance of the ABAP/4 Dictionary and the software logistics.
    3. EarlyWatch (Client 066)
    The EarlyWatch user has access only to monitoring and performance data.
    Please check this link for more information on data dictionary objects.

  • Interface/Functional Differences between EPM Planning 11.1.1.3 & 11.1.2.2.

    We are considering a migration from Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 and have found lots of documentation describing the technical exercise but little on the functional differences between the two products that would be of more interest to our users.
    Q1. Will 11.1.2.2 appear to our users as fundamentally a different product requiring retraining, changes to business procedures etc?
    Q2. Is there any documentation out there that compares the functionality and 'look' of the two releases that I have missed and that would help?
    Thanks.

    You could have a look at the cumulative feature tool which highlights functionality additions between versions by product - https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=1092114.1
    It is probably worth setting up a quick 11.1.2.3 POC planning instance to have a look at the new version of planning to see whether you feel that additional training will be required - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_planning_rapid_deploy_1112200.pdf, the main change is the look and feel with the ADF functionality the concept of planning has not changed, the ADF functionality can be switched off if you want to revert back to the old style.

  • Whats the functional difference between CUA and UME?

    Hi All,
    A small query regarding UME (User Management Engine) and CUA ( Central User Administration). Whats the functional difference between these two. I read in help documents that UME will be used for SAP WebAS Java server. But I read that it can be used for ABAP engine as well. Then why do we need to use CUA when we have user friendly interface tool like UME. According to my knowledge from help documentation, UME comes pre installed. so we dont need to install it as we have to do for CUA.
    Can any help me in understanding the difference between these two. Thanks in advance. Good day.
    Regards,
    Farooq.

    Hi,
    Indeed good question.
    It depends on installation type you selected. But are responsible for user administration in terms of creating, deleting, updating and role assignment tasks to users and groups.
    --CUA is meant for ABAP Installation. CUA is responsible for entire landscape user administration works with RFC connection talking to all ABAP systems
    --UME is meant for Java installations, plus UME is responsible for handling communication between ABAP users and java users.
    UME
    For more details see below links all advantages and disadvantages of both systems and comparisons deliberately.

  • What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

    What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

    For one, their form factors are slightly different as the iPhone has a bit more squarish body whereas the iPod Touch has a tapered back to it. 
    The iPhone also has much better front and rear cameras. Exact details as to the difference in megapixels depends on whether or not you talking about the iPhone 4 or 4S.  If you would like to get more details, you can always view
    each models specs on Apple's online store.
    See here for a better explanation.

  • Functionality differences between Principal Toolbox & Ms Projects 2010

    Hi there,
    I'm looking for some advise about the functionality differences between Principle Toolbox (planning module) & MS Projects 2010.
    Currently I'm working at an IT company where my project managers use MS Projects 2010 to plan their activities for their projects. 
    My management wants to know what the differences in functionality are between the two programs. I'm not looking for answers like "different GUI", but (for example) I would like to know what functionalities can you use with MS Projects and can not
    use with the Pincipal toolbox. 
    I hope someone, who has experience with both programs, can give me some good advise.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I've never worked with Principle Toolbox but here are 2 interesting comparisons which you might already know:
    http://project-management-software.findthebest-sw.com/compare/3-21/Microsoft-Project-vs-Principal-Toolbox
    http://www.itqlick.com/index.php?module=Products&pname=internalcompare&prod1=112&prod2=2395
    I think the main concern should be that Principle toolbox doesn't offer a cloud solution.

  • Functional difference between Blackberry and Internet Browser on the device

    Hello:
    Based on the following link, I understand the difference between the Blackberry and Internet browser (http://www.blackberryforums.com.au/forums/blackber​ry-general-discussion/2815-difference-between-brow​...
    I was wondering if there are any functional difference between the two, i.e. HTML rendering, images being broken, etc. Under Browser -> Options -> Browser Configuration, If I configure both the Blackberry and Internet browser the same way, will a particular URL behave the same?
    I'm in the process of testing our mobile applications on different devices and would appreciate if you could provide the difference, if any between the 2 browsers.
    Thanks:
    Vishal

    Hey vishalt77,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    All BlackBerry smartphones will have Internet Browser for browsing the web.
    However if you're on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you get the BlackBerry Browser which enables you to access internal websites and secured websites.

  • Migrating from Cognos ReportNet to OBI EE

    Hi all.
    Has anyone done a migration from Cognos ReportNet to OBI EE?
    I'm tiring to determine what task need to be performed, what can be leveraged from ReportNet as it pertains to reports and models, etc.
    Any feedback and/or real world experience would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi
    I really don't think there is much you can leverage as they're on totally different systems. If you've already got Cognos why would you want to throw all that investment away and go with BI EE?
    This is especially true when in a different posting you say the functionality is the same. You must have a lot of money available to you :-)
    Best wishes

  • Functional differences between OBISE1 and OBIEE

    Hello,
    beside the licensing restrictions, there are some funtional differences between OBISE1 and OBIEE. I have seen some very neat features in OBIEE which are not implemented in OBISE1, e. g. generating powerpoint or the assistants for bi publisher in word. The actual release of EE is 10.1.3.4.0 and it is 10.1.3.2.1 for SE1. Does anyone know, if SE1 will be upgraded to 10.1.3.4.0? And if yes, will Interactive Dashboards, Answers and BI Publisher in this relaese have the functional range of EE?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    Thomas

    Balaa,
    This question has been posted a number of times. Yes, Server, Answers, Dashboards and Publisher are functionally identical in BISE1 and BIEE. You can use BIEE 10.1.3.4.1 to upgrade your BISE1 10.1.3.2.1 (Oracle trust you not to use the stuff you are not licensed to use such as Delivers).
    See my oracle support note document id 743916.1 on metalink3 ...
    Oracle BI SE1: Patch to 10.1.3.4
    Upgrading Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition One to higher versions of the underlying components
    "Customers may upgrade to the latest 10.1.3.x versions of the BI components by running the BI Enterprise Edition 10.1.3.x Installer. They will be alerted that there is an installation already present and prompted to preserve the existing configuration. They should choose that option and the installer will leave the existing configuration (to include Repository, Web Catalog, etc) in tact and install the newer versions of the components. Note that when upgrading, all BI components must be upgraded to the same version. Customers may upgrade to the latest versions of Oracle Database 10g or Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g by applying the supported appropriate patches as needed. A note on platform support -- Oracle BI SE One is available for Windows platforms only. Oracle does not support Oracle BI SE One on other platforms. A note on licensing -- By license, customers are restricted to using BI Server, BI Answers, BI Dashboards, BI Publisher, BI Administration Tool, Oracle RDBMS, Oracle Warehouse Builder Core ETL functionality. Note that the BI SE One installation installs all of the BI components -- those listed above as well as Delivers, Office Plug-in, etc. If customers wish to use those additional components they are required to upgrade to a BI Enterprise Edition license."
