Oracle Financial Analyzer through Portal

Does anyone currently display OFA generated reports through Portal. Alternatively does anyone link to OFA from Portal?
Ideally I'm looking to create a report in OFA and publish it in static form in Portal.

Hi,
OFA: How is it related to DW. Is it an OLAP tool? if yes How is it different from Express Objects and why two tools like OFA and Oracle Express Analyser/Objects?
DW usually refers to a larger enterprise solution including multiple solution areas of data consolidated. OFA is an OLAP tool which typically only focuses on one or a few solution areas, such as Finance or Human Resources. OFA is a prepackaged solution much like Office productivity software, where as Express Objects is a complete development environment for OLAP applications. Express Objects is comparable to Oracle JDeveloper or IBM Eclipse, only it's for an OLAP data source (Express Server that is).
Why two tools, well some people want custom applications developed from scratch because of user requirements and data analysis needs, while others are happy with a predeveloped solution that only needs a little customization such as OFA. OFA does a great job in the Budgeting/Planning/Reporting area.

Oracle Sales Analyzer and Financial Analyzer

Hi All,
Where can I download Oracle Sales Analyzer and Oracle Financial Analyzer? Are they part of any module / package?
Thanks for your help,
Shailesh

Above given information is really helpful especially for newbies who wants to retrieve the multidimensional data from sql 2005.
I would also recommend a book on OLAP and believe me its pretty informative.
The [book is available on Amazon|http://www.amazon.com/Multidimensional-Data-Modeling-Toolkit-Intelligence/dp/0981775306] & you can buy an e-book directly from the publisher by writing [email protected]

Oracle Express Analyzer

Hi, I have installed the Oracle Express Analyzer 6.3.2 in two computers and all the properties apper with the name i18n. I thought it was because my operating system(Nt Workstation 4.0) was in Spanish but I have installed OEA again and the same error appears.

Please see the new Oracle Portal integration functionality with OFA (6.3.2 patch and bundfled in 6.4).
Users will be able to add portlets to their personalized portals to display reports or graphs that were created in
Oracle Financial Analyzer. They will also be able to add portlets which contain links to documents from OFA.
There is info available on this on Metalink under OFA Docs ->Educational Materials -

Hi All,
We are also having similiar type of error in our portal.
com.sap.engine.services.prtbridge##com.sap.engine.services.prtbridge
#######SAPEngine_System_Thread[impl:5]_13##0#0#Error#1#/System/Server#Plain###
The cluster server element 125898350 is not added in the EP cluster context,
because prtbridge on 125898350 is stopped or not yet started
(maybe the server is starting or shuting down).
We have implemented the FPN using RRA.
This error comes only for few users when they navigate in Portal. After clearing the cache, it works for all. Kindly help us to resolve this issue.

Venkatesh

Oracle Financial Services Balance Sheet Planning Installables

Hi Everyone
Can anyone let me know where can we find Oracle Financial Services Balance Sheet Planning Installables (Software to install)
I am not able to find in
Oracle e delivery -> Oracle enterprise management
Can you please navigate me to that software
Thanks in advance

Hi John,
Thanks for the quick reply
I have gone through the guide
BSP will not work in Windows Environment ?
I have installed and configured Hyperion Planning 11.1..2.3 .500 , But not able to find Hyperion PS3 bundles BSP 6.1 files
In guide its mentioned like this
Installation of BSP 6.1 on Hyperion Planning PS3
Hyperion PS3 bundles BSP 6.1 files. Installing Hyperion will only deploy the
BSP files. BSP needs to be subsequently “initialized” in order to access it.
If CAPEX and/or WORKFORCE applications are required, initialize CAPEX and/or
WORKFORCE after BSP initialization is complete.
Note: For PS3, sequence of initialization to be BSP, CAPEX, and then
WORKFORCE.
Thanks

Question in Oracle Financial Anaylzer (Please help)

Can anyone of you point to where documentation for Application Programming Interface is for Oracle . Financial Analyzer (v6).
I am having difficulty in understanding functions used for maintaining Structures like Dimension Maintenance, Dimension Value Maintenance and Financial Data Item Maintenance. Functions used are: ofa_create_dim(), ofa_del_dmv(), DIST.DFN.MEMBER().
Please assist.

Danny,
Type inheritance is a prerequisite for table inheritance. Once
you have created a type hierarchy, then you can build an
instance hierarchy (i.e., view or table) from this type
hierarchy.
What are you trying to accomplish with table inheritance in
Oracle8? Are you adding columns in subtables? Without
inheritance support in Oracle8, the workarounds documented will
let you use object views to simulate inheritance.
Regards,
Geoff
when I finally dcyphered that url itturns out to be
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc
appdev.817/a76976/adobjdes.htm#449267
anyway ..
that stuff is on Type iheritance workaround? I need TABLE
inheritance workarounds .. or is it implied that the same type
inheritance workaround can be used for the Table inheritance
workaround?
cheers
Danny

Oracle Reports setup in Portal

Hey
I just have a couple of questions about Oracle reports being run through Portal that I was looking for some help on. Here they are:
I am using the Reports Portlet Parameter Form (which includes the 'Parameters' and 'Schedule' tabs) build into Portal to run my oracle reports, but I was wondering if this is the recommend way to run my oracle reports in Poral or if there is something better?
A few users have asked me to remove/hide the 'schedule' tab on the parameter form, but I can't find a way to do that, do you know of a way?
And another thing I was asked is if we could create own parameter forms to run the reports, and I told them yes, but would that involve creating a new form for every report where the parameter list is different? I thought it would be, but I wanted to be sure first. And would these new manually created forms be easy to integrate into portal?
Thanks for your help.

hello,
submitting your report in the url using a key (yourKey) defined in the cgicmd.dat file would look like

Financial Analyzer : YTD figures

We have recently implemented OFA at our site where reports have been defined for management reporting. When we try to access a YTD column in a report for Year 2000 months, the system gives following error : "An error occurred setting up data for the report. Consider changing the definition to access a different selection." We have no such problem for Year 1999.
We have tried all the suggested solution by our off-shore consultant without any luck. Such as the YTD_OFFSETVAL has all values stored in it.
I would appreciate any assistance to resolve this problem.

Marianne,
Regret the delay in thanking you for the response. The problem was somewhere else.
We have now resolved the problem. GL_TIME1.OFFSET variable data was not submitted to Shared database.
Earlier Our consultant had responded as follows :
QUOTE
"There will not be any Y2K problem in the YTD calculation. Infact, this same logic is used to calculate YTD in Oracle Sales Analyzer, which is another Oracle OLAP tool. Also, if you remember, we had tested the reports for March 2000 and given reports to Financial/Management Account reports. We did not have any problems at all then.
To make things more clear about the YTD formula, I am not manipulating the
year value at all. Instead, the offset variable just stores a number against
the month ranging from -11 to 0. This is used in the MOVINGTOTAL function to
total up the appropriate preceeding months from the current month. The syntax
should make it clearer,
MOVINGTOTAL(variable,start pos, stop pos, step, TIME dimension)
eg.The offset value for month no.12 (Dec) will be -11. So that the total will be the sum of all the preceeding 11 months including the current month. The offset value for Jan will be 0, bcoz that is the first month. etc.
Yes, GL_TIME1.OFFSET is not a standard OFA object. But OFA/Express does not have a generic function to calculate YTD. Hence, we use user-defined stored variables along with MOVINGTOTAL function to get YTD.
I hope that this make things clearer." UNQUOTE
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Marianne Slight ([email protected]):

I think the problem lies in your GL_TIME1.OFFSET object. This is not a standard
OFA/GL link object. It may be something like you're using extchars on the year
value, and have introduced a Y2K bug by subtracting 1 from the '00' year to give
you '0-1'. Describe your GL_TIME1.OFFSET object - if it's a formula make sure
that it operates correctly on 2000 years, if it's a variable then make sure it's
populated correctly.

Oracle sales analyzer 11i

I would like to know if Oracle sales Analyzer 11i is available as SAAS (cloud)?
is Oracle sales analyzer part of the Sales and marketing on the cloud service?

It is regarding Express Database that was used by a client at their Head Office. They have provied us some DB files(e.g. "mdw.db","dmdw.db","mdmdw.db","pdmdw.db" and similar more like these). They have been using these databases in their sales analyzer through express relational access administrator. Now we want to user their database in our OLAP environment with our sales analyzer. But after attaching these databases in express server, we can't connect sales analyzer/application manager tools of OSA to these through relational access administrator. Can you explain why or How can we use those db files in our environment?
