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.

How to migrate MS SQL Server OLAP data to Oracle 10g OLAP

Hi,
Anyone has any idea on whether migration workbench can migrate my MS SQL Server OLAP data to Oracle 10g (with OLAP option) ?
Best Regards,
Ian Ho

Ian,
What exactly do you mean by SQL*Server OLAP ? Is it just a 'normal' SQL*Server database which is used for an OLAP application ?
The migration workbench migrates schema objects, triggers, and stored procedures and is not concerned with the application that uses those objects.
And the same with the Oracle OLAP database. Once the data etc has been moved into the database you can then use it for whichever application you want.
If you have concerns apart from moving the actual data then please give us more details.

Hyperion OLAP model vs. Oracle OLAP

Hi, I have a question re: how to properly model stuff in Hyperion OLAP. I know the basics of Essbase, but I've never found out how to do this...
In Oracle OLAP, I can define a set of dimensions, and then create cubes that use any subset of those dimensions.
In Essbase, if I define a set of dimensions, there is only one cube - and it is forced to share ALL of the dimensions.
So I'm always at a loss how to model something that would be pretty simple in Oracle OLAP, like:
Sales cube - dimensioned by time, store, product, customer
Local tax rate cube - dimensioned by time, store (but not product or customer)
Sales goal cube - dimensioned by time, store, product (but not customer)
etc.
What's the best way to handle this in Essbase?
p.s. after these cubes are done, I'll also want to do some formulas like local taxes = sales cube * local tax rate, etc.
Thx,
Scott

Essbase basically has two different design approaches. One you build a cube via Admin services and or load rules, the other is via Integration Services. When using Integration Services, it fits the more traditional build methodology you are familiar with. Via Integration Services you would define a star schema with a fact table and dimensions. You would then build a meta-outline layer where you would define how you want the cube to be built. You could "publish" a cube with all dimensions, or you can have multiple versions of your meta-outline, some that use certain dimensions and others that do not. Within that model you could go one step further and apply filters so you could build two cubes with the same dimensions but filter groups of members out of the dimension in one cube that you allows to flow through in the other cube, or maybe only allow it to build down to a certain level. The options get pretty broad. I think EIS will will get you to what you are familiar with and make a lot more sense. Go to the download site and you can download the docs on EIS to start to get a better idea.

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.

Need Suggestion on OLAP model

HI All,
We do have a reqirement to design a OLAP model for consolidating the issues identified on ASSETS from various sources\system.
Let us take one sample record;
Issue | Asset | Status |Priority |St_DT |End_Dt
ISS1 | ASS1,ASS2 |Open |High |1-Jan-13 |NULL
We have designed the below model for this scenario:
Dimension_Asset: Conformed dimesion for assets.
Dimension_Asset_Group: Since each issue can have multiple assets we have designed a group table.
Dimension_Date: Conformed and role playing dimension for start and end date
Fact_Issue: Issue_ID,Asset_Group_ID,Status,Priority,St_DT,End_DT
Please clarify the below doubts ( if at all the above model is good to go)
1. As of now client is not intersted in the history of the issue, if at all in future it requires then is it good to go with this model, by have multiple entries in the fact_issue table for same issue. Also on top of it can we build a accumulating snapshot fact table.
2. Actually issues will be associated with many deatiled text and lattributes. Do we need to capture this information in the FACT_ISSUE table as per this model. As of now we planned to move those information to another table called Dimension_Issue (though we cannot call it as dimension since its not repitative data in the fact table).

There's no model number i can find at the bottom, just the type and serial number.
Welcome to the forum!
It kind of looks like one of the 500s. What's the type number you found on the bottom?

If we have an installation of Oracle EE 10g,how can we know that OLAP is enabled or not?
Can anyone throw light on OLAP_TABLE function?
In Analytic Workspace manager 10g,i have created a workspace ,under that i am having some dimensions,cubes,as well.
After mapped to source table,and maintained,when i do a right click on measures, to view data, i get a error ORA-06553:PLS-222:no function with the name 'OLAP_TABLE' exists in this scope

The Export function is disabled when the responsibility is opened initially .
When we enter into a specific form its automatically enabled .

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.
Regards,
Didier

Oracle 9i OLAP "Customer Churn" studies

Hello,
Could anyone please tell me how to use Oracle 9i OLAP features for Customer churn studies from the
data warehouse?
Thanks

With the limited details provided, I believe your best place to start on customer churn studies would be with the Data Mining technology rather than OLAP. Please post your question to the following forum on OTN:

XML Export/Import OLAP Model or Metaoutline

Hi, I am using DB2 OLAP Server 7.1 and Fixpack 7. I had created and Validated OLAP Model. I am trying to export this model to a XML file. But "Error-1" is being raised and export is failing. Can any one know the details of the error?Thanks,Thangam

We had same problem on Windows NT server when running EIS as a service. Had to stop service and run in task manager on both servers in order to Export/Import. Did not encounter this issue with Windows 2000.

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)?
Regards,
Aleksander Miler

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.

Access Oracle 10g OLAP Analytic Worspace from BOE XI for Universes creating

Hi skilled!
Is there any environment to access Oracle 10g OLAP Analytic Worspace
from BOE XI (not from BOE XIR2) for Universes creating ?
Thank you.

Hello Walter,
Thanks for the response.
I'm using the following SAP GUI: 710 Final Release, Version 7100.2.7.1038, Build 971593, Patch-Level 7.
Trying to install the Desktop part of the integration kit results in the follwoing message: Unable to perform Desktop installation. The installation is unable to proceed with a desktop installation because Crystal Reports 2008 was not detected. To perform a Desktop installation, it must be installed.
Without having installed any integration kit on the client side, I can still see the data access driver for SAP Business Warehouse 3.x in the Universe Designer (when trying to define a new connection). After providing the respective parameters, however, a connection is not established successfully. When testing the connection it just tells me that the connection trial failed (SBO0001), without providing any further details.
What do you think, is the problem? The SAP GUI? Is it at all required for my purposes (generating OLAP universes in Designer from SAP BI) to install the integration kit on the client side? As far as I have read, it is?
Thanks, Konrad

Inserting the Brio Query Data into EIS OLAP Model tables directly

Dear Experts,
Can someone please suggest how we can export data (result set records) from bqy files' queries into an EIS server's OLAP Model's tables?
Right now I have a cube on Essbase server getting the data from excel sheets which store the data from the execution of .bqy files.
Use of file system (excel sheets) has not been liked by my business users so now I need to avoid storing the data from brio queries into excel sheets for loading into the Essbase cube. This I am required to achieve using EIS/AIS so that the data from brio queries(.bqy files) can be directly inserted into Essbase cube with the help of (i.e. via) EIS/AIS.
Any quick help would boost the life of this project of mine.
Thank you,
Vikas Jain

EIS - OLAP Model - Dimension Joins

Hi,
I know the in EIS OLAP model we need to build a logical STAR schema between dimensions and fact tables with some join condition. Now, can you tell me how the join works while building the dimensions? Do EIS really bother about the joins between dimension and fact tables? My understanding is, EIS will load all the members present in the dimension table irrespctive of join clause.
Pls shed some light on this!
Thanks!

You can join tables together with a "bad" JOIN. Your outlines will still build and probably look fine, however, this is what I tend to think of as a "dirty" EIS model. You will run into issues if you try and load data through EIS but you can probably get the outline to build how you want it. I highly recommend that you try and do things the "right" way as it will pay off in the future, but if you have to get it done some other way.... well, I've seen worse. :)
