Oracle for a Data Warehouse & Data Mining Project

Hello,
I am working for a marketing company and we have a pretty big OLTP database and my supervisor wants to make use of these data for decision making. The plan is to create a
data mart(if not a warehouse) and use data mining tools on top of it.
He does not want to buy one of those expensive tools so I was wondering if we could handle such a project just by downloading OWB and Darwin from Oracle site? None of us are data warehouse specialists so it will be very though for us. But I would like to learn. Actually, I was looking for some example warehouse + mining environment implementations to get the main ideas. I will appreciate any suggestions and comments.
Thank you

Go to

for white papers, demos, etc. as a beginning.
Also, Oracle University offers a course on Oracle data Mining.

Beginner installing SQL Server 2014 for Excel Data Mining

Hello, I'm a complete beginner with servers but Im desperately trying to gain access to the SQL server for use with the data mining addin for excel.
Could someone please help. When I try to make a connection in Excel by choosing DATA MINING> <No Connection> New> it then asks me for a Server Name in the connect to Analysis Services box. How can I find out what my Sever name is please? I have
tried all sorts of names that I have found such as SQLEXPRESS or localhost but nothing works. It also tells me to 'Ensure that the Server is running'. Another error message I receive: No connection can be
made because 'the target machine actively refused it'.
I would be really grateful for some troubleshooting tips.
Thank you

How to use RAW partition for Oracle for placing data?

Dear all,
I have installed Oracle on a SUN machine and use database mount point /oracle which is a UFS system.
But now I would like to use RAW partition instead of a UFS system to place Oracle database data...
The installation guide mentions that database mount points have to be prepared before installation, could I just use /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5 as database mount points after partitioning c0t0d0s5?
I am attempting to create a tablespace in the above partition... Could any experts tell me if the above works?
Thanks a lot!

kwan,
Raw partion is used to store Oracle data files and not Oracle software. Oracle home is going be in regular file system. More than one file can not share the same raw device.
You create the raw device at the OS level using the OS command. Then create tablespace on Oracle and use the clause DATAFILE 'Raw file Name'
Hope this helps
Best,
G

RFP for Data Warehousing Project

My manager contracted a consultant to come up with an RFP for us. But we are running way behind schedule :(
Does anyone have a sample RFP for a Data Warehousing project for me to have a reference on what is required?
Thanks,
Tamara

Tamara,
I assume this question is not for members of Oracle Warehouse Builder team. Otherwise it'd be a bit awkward - you are asking us for a sample of what to request from us.

How to use Data Mining for a blind DBA?

Hi, I'm a blind DBA and I need some input and some suggestions from the forum on how to access the Data Mining feature.
This feature is becoming more and more an essential part of my daily tasks, so I need a way to use it.
Database: Oracle 11.1.0.7.0
OS: Windows XP Pro and Linux
Adaptive Technology:
JAWS Version 11.0.1467 by Freedom Scientific BLV Group, LLC
JAVA Access Bridge by SUN Microsystems
I know there is a Windows program called Data Miner, unfortunately my JAWS speech synthesizer does not work with the interface and I need an alternative. I
read Oracle's documentation on the Data Miner API., but it is short on examples, details , and step by step instructions. Does anyone have a more
comprehensive set of examples on how to use the Data Mining API. from start to finish, specifically for market basket analysis? Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am not very knowledgeable about Oracle Data Miner, the graphical user interface to Oracle Data Mining, but I can respond to your question about API documentation.
You may find the source files for the Data Mining sample programs to be very helpful. They provide many examples. After installing Oracle Database, install Oracle Database Examples. This separate installation process installs the sample programs in the DEMO directory under Oracle Home. Instructions for installing and configuring the sample programs are provided in Oracle Data Mining Administrator's Guide. Here is the link to the relevant chapter in the 11.1 Administrator's Guide.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/datamine.111/b28130/sampleprogs.htm#BABEHFEB
As for the API documentation, the best place to start is probably the Data Mining Application Developer's Guide. Here is the link to the 11.1 Application Developer's Guide.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/datamine.111/b28131/toc.htm
The Data Mining PL/SQL API for creating data mining models is implemented in the DBMS_DATA_MINING package. The syntax of Oracle PL/SQL packages is documented in PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference. Here is the link to the chapter in the 11.1 version of that manual.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_datmin.htm#i1062150
The Data Mining functions for scoring (applying mining models to new data) are implemented as SQL functions. The syntax of Oracle SQL is documented in SQL Language Reference. Here is the link to the Data Mining SQL functions in the 11.1 version of that manual.

Oracle 9i Data Mining

Could you please tell me what changes have to be made in the Sample_NaiveBayesBuild.property and Sample_NaiveBayesBuild.java files if i have to use my own data for doing data mining. Any help at the earliest will be highly appreciated.(The sample file uses census_2d_build_binned and the sample java and property files are Sample_NaiveBayesBuild.java and Sample_NaiveBayesBuild.property located in oracle\ora92\dm\demo\sample directory)
-Barry

yes, I know that DataMining is installed, but from what I know, it should be checked before the creation of the database.
for example I am performing the post installation steps:
Unlock the Data Mining Accounts
1. From a SQL*Plus session logged on as SYS, enter the following:
alter user odm account unlock;
alter user odm_mtr account unlock;
Start the Oracle Data Mining Task Monitor
1.From a SQL*Plus session, execute the following:
connect odm/[email protected]
exec odm_start_monitor
this gives me an error: odb_start_monitor not defined...
what should I do?

How to design a churn Data Mining application

Dear All,
I am a beginning software engineer. I am interested in designing a churn data mining applications for telecom companies.
My questions are:
1. Can I use the ODM sample codes to do this for creating the models,lifts, and scoring, etc?
2. How do I attach Java Swing front-end applications to the data mining in the Oracle 9i database server ?
3. Are the scoring posted in the sample codes accurate and useful in life deployment?
4. On the data warehouse for the data mining, what are the special considerations for the warehouse vis-vis dimensions, fact tables, etc?
Regards,
Olatuja Abayomi

Thanks :)
However, what i mean is the implementation (java file).
For example, the Java RMI tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/rmi/overview.html defines two interfaces on server side.
One interface is for the Remote Interface, which has to be on server side.
Another is an interface with generic type, which is
public interface Task<T> {
T execute();
} Then both copiled interfaces (two class files) are compressed into a jar file, and this jar file needs to be reachable by both client and server side of the code.
So, client side needs the implementation of interface Task.
Or after we defined the two interface (Remote interface and Task interface) on server side, we also implement the Task interface
on server side, then compile the server side and compress compiled interfaces and implementation (three cless files) into a jar file, and pass this
jar file to client, so server needs no implementation for the interface Task, since the implementation is defined and compressed in the jar file already.
I hope i explained better this time, or i am just lost at this point.

BW Data Mining

Hello!
I need information about the following BW Data Mining topics. Hope, someone can help me?
-What 3rd Party Tools are available für Data Mining? (I just know "IBM Intelligent Miner")
-Does someone have experiences with performance of the DM-algorithms? System requirements? Mass data?
-Are there possibilities to improve the performance?
-What is known about new features in Netweaver BI 7.0 for DM?
-Does someone have special experiences in DM in the automotive industy? Are there typical business processes known, which are useful for BW Data Mining?
Thank you for help!
Regards,
Peter

Hallo!
I need different information about BW data mining.
One thing is, what are typical business scenarios for the different algorithms. So it is easy to find such for decision trees, association analysis and maybe for ABC analysis. But i have little problems to find real scenarios vor weighted score tables and regression analysis. It would be helpful to hear about some.
I have to write a paper for my company about data mining with bw. While we have no experiences in this area I´m looking here for people having.
Also Performance. The problem is not to try out with APD and Data Mining models. But to find experiences with this.
Good or bad performance with this or this algo? Or how can I optimize performance for mass data?
After this I have to design typical business scenarios. Especially for automotive area if possible.
So what the question for me is, what is possible with the algorithms? Where are problems with them?
It would be great if you could provide me with more information about your experiences in this area.
Thanks,
Peter

From where to download the The Oracle Data Mining sample programs for DB11g

In the Administrator's Guide to Oracle Data Mining 11g. One of the steps is to install the the Oracle Data Mining sample programs, which, according to the author, is included in the Oracle Database Companion. The author did not specify from where to download neither the sample programs nor the database companion CD/DVD!
I would be grateful if you could provide me with the URL that has the required download.
Regards,

You should be able to download ODM DB11g sample programs from the following OTN link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_win32soft.html
Choose 'Oracle Database 11g Examples (formerly Companion)'

Training a ABC Data Mining (DM) model for a Web Template.

Hello All,
I need to create a Web Template that uses the ABC web item. This Web Item needs a "trained" ABC Analysis DM model. The only tool that I know of that can "train" a DM model is the APD. However the APD does not support the ABC DM as a data target. Is there any other way to "train" a ABC DM model ? Or are there gaps in my knowledge ?
Dorothy

Hi,
Being new to mining you have really set off on a ambitious mining project :)
Couple of technical pointers:
*1) Version of Data Miner being Used*
You are using the original Data Miner release.
I would download the latest SQL Dev release that contains the current Data Miner client and repository installation.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
SQL Developer 3.2.2 RTM Version 3.2.20.09 Build MAIN-09.87
Drop the old repository and start with this latest one, assuming you are just getting started and have no significant mining worklows created.
You can always export the workflows to disk if you want to import them to the repository.
Alternatively you can migrate the older repository, but I would avoid unless you really need to, as it requires Data Miner to hold on to some older repository definitions.
*2) Handling of text*
It seems your primary source of data for the clustering process will be the cs_uri_query.
You might find better results processing it as text data rather than as categorical data.
You can use the Build Text node to transform cs_uri_query into a nested column that contains text tokens.
*3) Methodology definition*
This is probably your biggest challenge really.
What is the overall methodology to produce the desired result.
You stated your objective is: develop an intelligent recommend model based on queries recorded in the web log
Once you create clusters from this data, what are your next steps?
What type of recommendation do you want to generate?
Thanks, Mark
