How to user Analytic workspace manager in Oracel 9

Hi All,
I am new to OLAP, I want to know how to configure/use Analytic workspace manager in my database for creating OLAP. I am using oracle 9.2.0.1.0.
Regards
Ananth

The first version of Analytic Workspace Manager came with Oracle 10.2, it does not support Oracle 9.2. If you are new to Oracle OLAP, you really want to be using Oracle 11.1 or 11.2 (11.2 if possible). If your organization uses 9.2 for your apps, consider using an 11.2 instance of OLAP and accessing the 9.2 version as the data source to your cubes. The advantages to 11.x are too numerous to cover here. I can send you some papers that describe 10.2 and 11.x if you send me ([email protected]) your email adress.

How to install analytic workspace manager?

I have Oracle 9.2.0.1 running on Windows. I have installed 9.2.0.3 database patch. I couldn’t see analytic workspace manager tool? How to get the tool?
I will greatly appreciate if you can guide me with some links or steps.

Few days back I went to a Oracle Demo and there I used Analytic Workspace Manager, which is running on Windows 2000 (both database and the tool on same machine).
It was located in
Start menu --> Oracle home --> Integrated Management Tolls Folder.
I couldn't see that on my 9.2.0.1 installation. So I installed the new patch 9.2.0.3, still I am not able to see that tool.
Am I missing anything? Any other patch?

Analytic Workspace Manager Release date

Does anyone know that release date for the analytic workspace manager?

I'm reluctant to start having a go at Oracle, because there's probably good technical reasons why AWM didn't come out last year, most probably due to 9i OLAP API changes invalidating much of the work the product team had done with the prototype of AWM. However, it's been about 18 months now, by my reckoning, since AWM was first talked about and it's still not generally available.
Of course, the features announced for the first version of AWM are only part of what we need 'out in the field' when working with 9i OLAP. We also need graphical tools to load analytic workspaces directly, rather than having to write OLAP DML dataloaders or go through an intermediate step of loading an Oracle star-schema, and in addition, migration tools for Express databases to help with the creation of OLAP Catalog metadata.
It's worth contrasting this with the release of OLAP Services when SQL Server 7.0 was released. There, Microsoft provided tools from the outset to create and manage OLAP cubes, which meant that users could get up and running immediately, not have to wait the best part of two years to get the most basic of tools to enable them to create OLAP databases.
As there's no doubt been quite a few technical challenges in delivering the 9i OLAP tools over the last couple of years, what would probably help the situation would be a more proactive communication strategy from the Oracle product team, in the way that the OWB team regularly post on their OTN forum and keep us all informed on how the product is progressing. Part of the frustration with 9i OLAP is the lack of any communication or updates on the product, leaving us guessing as to exactly when elements such as the AWM will actually come out. In addition, from what I can glean about OLAP support in 10g, there's some excellent news coming out, such as Multiwriter support, an XML interface for OLAP, Parallel support for aggregation and so on, which would be great news to hear and might make people 'hang on' rather than give up on the product.
Hopefully, as the last announcement from Oracle suggested, the AWM will be made available this month, and we can get on then with helping our customers and clients start taking advantage of the 9i OLAP platform.

Analytic Workspace Manager default language

Hi
I installed Analytic Workspace Manager 12.1.0.1.0B in my Windows 7 Enterprise (spanish version), and all messages and front-end is in spanish now.
But I'm used to English interface.
How can I change AWM default language?
Thanks
Oscar

Hi Oscar,
One way to change the default language that AWM uses would be launch AWM from a bat file or console with an option to set the user language. Below is an example of how a bat file used to start AWM might be modified to set the default language to English. The setting is -Duser.language=en.
setlocal
rem    Modify the path to your installed Java Run-time Environment
rem    Make sure your environment has at least JRE version 1.6 installed
set path=c:\Program Files\java\jre6\bin;%path%
rem    Start AwM. -mx sets the size of the memory allocated to the heap by the Java Virtual machine
rem                -XX sets the size of the memory allocated to the permanent object space by the Java Virtual Machine
rem   -Duser.language=en sets the default language used by java to English.
start javaw -mx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -jar -Duser.language=en awm12.1.0.2.0.jar
endlocal
Hope this helps,

Creating a DWMQY DIMENSION using Analytic Workspace Manager

Hi everyone,
I need some help creating a "time aware" (DAY, WEEK, MONTH, QUARTER, and YEAR) dimension using Analytic Workspace Manager.
Let me give you some background. I'm coming from a traditional "Oracle Express" OLAP background where all our data is stored in cubes and these are defined, populated and operated on using OLAP DML, there is no SQL or traditional relational tables involved.
I now want to pull data from relational tables into some OLAP cubes and am using Analytic Workspace Manager to do this (maybe this is not the best way?)
Let me explain what I'm trying to achieve. In OLAP worksheet I can type the following DML commands:
DEFINE MY_DAY DIMENSION DAY
MAINTAIN MY_DAY ADD TODAY '01JAN2011'
What this will do is create a "day dimension" and will populate it with values for each and every day between 1st Jan 2011 and today. It will be fully "time aware" and thus you can use date functions such as DAYOF to limit the MY_DAY dimension to all the Fridays etc. Similarly if I define a "month dimension" there will be an automatic implicit relationship between these two dimensions, this relationship and time aware cleverness is built into Oracle.
However, a dimension defined using DML commands (and indeed all objects created using DML language) is not visible in Analytic Workspace Manager (as there is no metadata for them?) and for the life of me I cannot work out how to create such a dimension using AWM. If I create a "Time Dimension" then, as far as I can tell, this is not a proper time dimension but merely a text dimension and I, presume, I have to teach it time awareness.
Can anyone help me? I have no issues creating, and populating cubes from relational tables using Analytic Workspace Manager, the only issue I have is creating a "proper" time aware dimension.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Ian.

When a dimension is of type "TIME" in AWM, then for each member of that dimension, you need END_DATE and TIMESPAN attributes in addition to the key column and description column.
So in your case, if there are 5 levels: DAY->WEEK->MONTH->QTR->YEAR
then you will need atleast 15 columns in your source sql table/view
or 20 columns if you have separate column for description.
For example the columns in your source table/view could be:
DAY_ID,
DAY_DESC,
DAY_END_DATE, (which will be that day's date)
DAY_TIMESPAN, (which will be 1)
WEEK_ID,
WEEK_DESC,
WEEK_END_DATE,
WEEK_TIMESPAN,
MONTH_ID,
MONTH_DESC,
MONTH_END_DATE,
MONTH_TIMESPAN,
QTR_ID,
QTR_DESC,
QTR_END_DATE,
QTR_TIMESPAN,
YEAR_ID,
YEAR_DESC,
YEAR_END_DATE,
YEAR_TIMESPAN
Just "map" this table/view to the 5-level time dimension in AWM.
NOTE that behind-the-scenes lot of useful structures are automatically defined to support time-series measures,
and there are lot of calculation templates available also.
Since you came from Express background, I have to say that try to use new OLAP Expression Syntax when creating calculated measures instead of OLAP DML.
Its very rare these days that we need OLAP DML.

Problem with Oracle Analytic Workspace Manager ver 10.1.0.4

There are posts on the OLAP forum covering this problem. Anthony Waite from the OLAP Product Management team has provided the following information:
e new, default Model View in AWM 10.1.0.4.0 is based upon the OLAP Analytic Workspace API (a.k.a. AW/XML). Just to recap and further clarify my earlier post, you must pass the following requirements in order to use it:
1) Be sure to be using the Enterprise Edition of the Oracle Database 10g.
SQL> select banner from v$version where banner like 'Oracle%';
You should see Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition.
2) Be sure to have the Data Warehouse database configuration or the OLAP Option enabled.
SQL> select parameter, value from v$option where parameter='OLAP';
You should see OLAP TRUE.
3) Be sure that the RDBMS 10.1.0.4 patch set has been completely installed. Users often miss the required Post-Installation Steps such as running catpatch.sql.
SQL> select comp_name, version, status from dba_registry;
You should see VALID and 10.1.0.4.0 for the OLAP components.
4) The Oracle Database must have the compatibility mode of 10.1 to use the Model View as it relies on the unique features found in Oracle Database 10g.
SQL> select name, value, description from v$parameter where name ='compatible';
You should see 10.1, not 9.2 or earlier.
5) Please refer to the patchnote.htm that is bundled with 10.1.0.4.0 patch set. Only you are aware of what type of database configuration you have. You will want to pay close attention to "7.2.1.3 Set the SHARED_POOL_SIZE and JAVA_POOL_SIZE Initialization Parameters" and "7.2.2 Upgrade the Release 10.1 Database".
Basically, I believe you have missed these required steps after installing the 10.1.0.4.0 patch set from the OUI: (pasted from the patchnote.htm)

Analytic Workspace Manager now available on OTN

The Analytic Workspace Manager can now be downloaded from OTN at http://otn.oracle.com/software/htdocs/devlic.html?http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/olap/awm920.zip. It's 217MB and i've got it downloading now...
It requires the 9.2.0.4.1 patch which can be downloaded from Metalink, using patch number 3084634
To apply the 9.2.0.4.1 patch, you also need to have installed the 9.2.0.4 database patch beforehand, which can be downloaded from metalink using patch number 3095277.
regards
Mark

I've managed to install the AWM + requisite patches now, and it's converting a relational star schema as I speak. Some points to note (not all steps listed here BTW)
1. I first applied the 9.2.0.4 patch to an existing 9.2.0.1 database installation, which was installed alongside 9iAS R2, 9iDS, OWB9.2 and 9.0.4, and Express Server 6.3.4. The installer failed at an early stage with a 'resource bundle' error, and therefore I removed all Oracle software from my laptop, reinstalled just the Database 9.0.2.0.1, and started again from there.
2. Follow the steps in the readme to drop the XMLCONCAT function, shutdown the database, and stop all services (including the database) in the ORACLE_HOME. Make sure you exit out of SQL*Plus before moving on.
2. Run the 9.2.0.4 patch installer, install the new OUI, then install the 9.2.0.4 patch.
3. Find the init.ora file (in my case named init.ora.962003152553 and located in C:/9ir2/admin/markr/pfile), and amend the file setting java_pool_size and shared_pool_size > 150M. You may need to set sga_max_size to a figure that is greater than these two amounts to fit this in. The figures I used were;
sga_max_size=500000000
java_pool_size=160554432
large_pool_size=8388608
shared_pool_size=160331648
4. Startup the listener (lsnrct start), and the database (using 'startup migrate)
5. set spool on, then run catpatch.sql
6. run @ %ORACLE_HOME%/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
7. Unlock the OLAPSYS account, then connect as OLAPSYS, then run @ %ORACLE_HOME%/cwmlite/admin/postamd.sql. When I ran this script, I got an error saying that a column I tried to add ('IS_AGGREGATABLE') already existed, but the rest of the script ran ok.
8. I then unzipped the 9.2.0.4.1 patchset
9. Run the One-Off patch that comes with the 9.2.0.4.1 patchset (in the /oneoffs directory) before you install the main 9.2.0.4.1 patch
10. Once this has installed, start up the OUI that comes with Oracle 9i and select the products.jar file that comes with the patch. Install the patch as normal.
11. cd $ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin, then connect as sqlplus "/ as sysdba", then run @olapu92041.sql
12. Now the patches have all installed, unzip the awm920.zip file to a directory, run the installer, and the AWM will appear under the '%ORACLE_HOME%/Integrated Management Tools' start menu entry.
I'm now in the process of trying to create an analytic workspace. I've submitted the COST_CUBE from the SH schema that comes with 9iR2 for conversion, although from what I understand this will not convert properly, and it has to be replaced by the BIBDEMO schema that comes with the BI Beans 9.0.3 download (http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/bib/download.html). The conversion's at 55% at the moment, so i'll see how it goes, and report back.

Invisible structure in Analytic Workspace Manager after importing from EIF

Hello,
I got problem with migration OFA structure (6.3.4) to Oracle OLAP. My Oracle Database is 11.2 Enterprise Edition
1. I've exported OFA database do eif file.
2. I've created user in Oracle database, grant olap_user and created directory
3. I installed Analytic Workspace Manager 11.2.0.3.0A
4. After connection on Analytic Workspaces I run 'Create Analytic Workspace from EIF file ...' -> The import was succeeded
Here is the problem - there is no visible imported structure in the tree under Analytic Workspaces. I think that structures were properly imported. That Analytic Workspace is in the sql results:
select dbal.owner||'.'||substr(dbal.table_name,4) awname, sum(dbas.bytes)/1024/1024 as mb, dbas.tablespace_name from dba_lobs dbal, dba_segments dbas where dbal.column_name = 'AWLOB' and dbal.segment_name = dbas.segment_name group by dbal.owner, dbal.table_name, dbas.tablespace_name order by dbal.owner, dbal.table_name
I've also tried using Analytic Workspace Manager Worksheet.
AW CREATE OFA_TEST
IMPORT ALL FROM EIF FILE 'c/baza.eif' DATA DFNS
UPDATE
COMMIT
The results are the same :(
What else should be done ? can anyone pls help me on this??
Grzegorz

Grzegorz,
OFA to OLAP is not an easy thing if you are trying to do it by hand. That is why we built an OFA conversion utility into our product. Example time for Full OFA to OLAP/Escendo conversion is about three days for an OFA system of 300-400Gb, including data, processes (Solves) reports, saved selections etc.)
Part of the problem is that OFA is an application which uses a ton of back end catalogs which drive everything. It also makes very heavy use of saved selections internally which makes straight export and import tough.
The overall process is that all of the visible structures need to be created within OLAP so that they are visible. We support both 'public' (ergo visible, metadata based) objects as well as 'back end' structures which are not visible to the front end. If you need business logic translated over it can get complicated to do by hand as well, since things don't map directly into the way Oracle does things in AWM now, due to some differences between the architectures.
One of the great things about putting your OFA into OLAP is that everything becomes available to any standard SQL reporting application.
Our IDE is a full mulit-developer environment which allows multiple developers to work even within the same AW, for any operation, including creation of dimensions, measures etc. as well as the editing of code in programs & models.
Are you just trying to get the data in? or are you wanting to use the system like you would use OFA?

Analytic Workspace Manager - Hierarchies within hierarchies

Hi,
We have six levels of Sales Groups (SG) and two levels of Sales Personnel (SP).
- SG1
SP1- Sales Manager
SP2- Sales Rep
- SG2
SP1
SP2
- SG3 ... so on and so forth
We want to have drill down capability on SG1 so that we see SP levels underneath followed by the next level Sales Group i.e. SG2.
My question is can we have hierarchies within hierarchies using Analytic Workspace Manager and can this be queried using Discoverer Plus for OLAP. If there is another way to do it, can someone please explain?
Thanks again,
-Esther

I am not totally sure what you are trying to achieve as I think you might be confusing members with levels. From an OLAP perspective we support two basic types of hierarchies
- Level based
- Value based (Parent-Child)
Within level based we additionally support:
- normal
- ragged
- skip level
Normal implies that you have a hierarchy where the each member for each level always has a parent at a the next level up in the hierarchy. Ragged hierarchies are where data is loaded at different levels within the hierarchy and skip level is where parents within a specific level are themselves defined at multiple levels.
I am not sure if this answers your question, but you can find more information on how to manage hierarchies in the
Oracle® OLAP Application Developer's Guide
