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 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

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
Shyam

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:

Good-luck!

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

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.

Oracle 10g OLAP to 11g OLAP upgrade ?

We currently are planning on a upgrade from 10g OLAP => 11g OLAP. We currently have 12 AWM's in 10g OLAP which we need to move over with associated DML programs and additional SQL reporting views.
Questions:
1. Is there any documentation available on necessary steps for 10g OLAP => 11g OLAP upgrade?
2. What would happen to existing AWM's prepared in 10g, would they be migrated to 11g transparently or have to be re-created?
3. Is there any specific documentation related to changes in way cube builds are done programatically?
4. Any changes in the way limit maps work in 11g?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Sudip

Migrating a 10g cube to 11g depends on whether you are talking about 11gR1 or 11gR2. 10g cubes continue to operate in the "10g way" even after a database upgrade. They will not become "11g cubes" until they are rebuilt after the database upgrade. In 11gR2, there is a supported way to migrate 10g cubes to 11g cubes, both with AWM and with PL/SQL. Sorry to say... this functionality doesn't exist in 11gR1: you'll have to rebuild your cubes from the ground up.
The SQL relational views built using the AWM plugin in 10g are no longer applicable in 11g. That's because OLAP cubes in 11g are registered in the oracle data dictionary (just like other Oracle objects), and the SQL relational views are managed in the database and a recognized part of the product. The SQL relational views are quite different in 11g, so you will likely have to rewrite queries against them.
LIMIT map syntax is the same, but performance is much better.

Oracle 10g olap cube connectivity issue using Crystal Reports 2008

Hi
Kindly help me out with a solution. I have created a cube in oracle 10gR2 database using Oracle Analytic Workspace Manager. I am trying to connect to this cube using Crystal report Olap datasorces. But I am only getting 4 options to connect to Hyperion Essbase, HOLOS Cube, Microsoft OLEDB, Microsoft OLAP Analysis Services 8.0 and 9.0. I am not getting any option for connection to Oracle OLAP. How do I do that or if it does not support kindly let me know.
Thanks in advance
Troyee

Hi Troyee,
I have discussed the issue with OLAP engineer and he told me that connectivity to OLAP cube is not supported.
and please next time address OLAP questions to the following category:

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

Oracle discoverer olap and 11g olap

i have read the following and it still isn't clear

Oracle makes it a general policy not to announce things in future releases, even bug fixes, without due approval from senior management. This puts Oracle developers in the unfortunate position of not being able to pass on information in forums like this, which is why you are not able to get a straight answer to your very reasonable question.
It is true that full support and certification for D4O and the Excel Add-In did not make the 11.1 release. This was for two reasons.
(1) On the OLAP Option side there were so many changes to the metadata layer in 11.1 that there simply was not time to fix all the bugs. As I said earlier, D4O basically works against 11.1, but the OLAP group did feel confidence in its stability and performance. I can say that many D4O related OLAP bugs were logged and targeted for 11.2 and that stability and quality is the number one goal for the 11.2 OLAP release.
(2) The teams that worked on Discoverer classic, Discoverer for OLAP, and the Excel Add-In were moved on to new projects following the acquisition of Siebel. You can see the statement of direction here .
Of these clearly the latter is the bigger problem. Oracle OLAP itself is committed to maintaining support for existing interfaces and the OLAP API (used by D4O) has not been deprecated. In fact it was the basis of much of the work in 11g.

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.
Regards,
Mike

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.

Oracle 10g OLAP CWM2/AW

Are CWM2 packages obsolute in Oracle 10g? I could not find documentation of CWM2 in Oracle 10g docs. It has only AW.

Sorry. I ,eamt obsolete. CWM2 Packages are built-in packages to support Common Warehouse Model. For example, create_cube etc. And AW is Analytic Workspace. I like to know that whether in latest Oracle 10g version with OLAP options, CWM2 packages are available or not.
