ORACLE OLAP metadata 10g vs 11g

Good morning,
When we connect to our database AWM 11g, it is possible to choose the type of cube (11g or 10g). What I infer is that the metadata will be type 10g or 11g, correct?
What are the major differences in metadata for olap between the type 10g and 11g type?
Thank you in advance,
David

Yes, correct.
The main difference between the 10g and 11g metadata types is that in 10g, the metadata is stored inside the Analytic Workspace, whereras in 11g, the metadata is stored and registered in the RDBMS data dictionary.
This data dictionary integration is required to support many of the new features relating to the SQL optimisations and, in particular, the cube based MV's.
You can see a list of the main new features supported in 11g OLAP here:

Oracle.olapi.metadata.DuplicateMetadataIDException Problem

Hello,
I am getting oracle.olapi.metadata.DuplicateMetadataIDException error when I try to explore existing dimensions. I ran example that is in OLAP API javadoc. To be more specific I ran example in Chapter 4 of that javadoc (SampleMetadataDiscoverer10g.java).
Does anyone have a solution for this problem ?
I'll appreciate any help

Be sure to use the latest OLAP API Javadoc for 10g. You can find the 10.1.0.4 version at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/olap.html
What lines of the SampleMetadataDiscoverer10g program caused the DuplicateMetadataIDException?
Do you have more than one schema installed that has OLAP Catalog metadata or dynamic analytic workspace metadata?
Do two or more schemas that are owned by the same user have objects that have the same names?
In a dimension, each member must be unique across all levels. If the user has the OLAP_DBA role, try changing it to OLAP_USER. The OLAP_DBA sees all metadata. The OLAP_USER is limited to the metadata of user/schema.

Oracle Upgrade from 10g to 11g [BRANCHED BY MODERATOR]

Hi Deepak/Folks,
Another question that I have is that while doing the Oracle Upgrade on an EP server, the patches were not installed properly and I had to shut down the Patches installation after it did not do anything for a while.
Now when I try to install the patches it fails telling me that the Installed patches cannot be verified, I had written to SAP and they told me to follow the
SAP note 1862446 - Inventory
load failed... OPatch cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home
and re-create the oracle inventory.
This has also not helped in anyway.
Is there a solution to this problem.
Following is the error that I am getting when I try to Install the patches
Getting pre-run patch inventory...
Getting pre-run patch inventory...failed.

Oracle Database Upgradation 10g to 11g in HP unix

Oracle Database Upgradation 10g to 11g (standalone DB & ASM is implemented) in HP unix ?
Kindly furnish the good links and screen shot documents.
Edited by: user11937849 on Apr 9, 2012 4:04 AM

As part of the upgrade, you might research how new Oracle 11g features can help your system run better.
Your upgraded system can effectively start using extended statistics, a very powerful new 11g feature, immediately after the upgrade. I have a detailed blog post on how to do this with OEM - http://iiotzov.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/get-the-max-of-oracle-11gr2-right-from-the-start-create-relevant-extended-statistics-as-a-part-of-the-upgrade

Directory structure and files in Oracle Application server 10g and 11g

Hi all,
I am doing a lab migration from 10g to 11g based on the use of JAXB. There were some directory structures used in 10g to store the JAXB jar files and some other custom jar files. I want to know the equivalent folder structures in SOA 11g server. The 10g server directories are mentioned below:-
1.<OracleAS_Home>\webservices\lib.
2. server.xml located at <OracleAS_Home>\j2ee\home\config in 10g. Where can I find the equivalent file to "server.xml" in 11g server?
3. <OracleAS_Home>\bpel\system\classes\com\oracle\bpel\xml\util.
4. <OracleAS_Home> \bpel\system\classes.

Here are the equivalents as per best of my knowledge:
1. <WebLogic Home>\server\lib
For example, D:\Middleware\wls1036\wlserver_10.3\server\lib
2. config,xml located at <Domain_Home>\config\
For example, D:\Middleware\wls1036\user_projects\domains\ArunBaseDomain1036\config\config.xml
3. It should be the same as 10g (instead of OracleAS_Home, it will be ORACLE_Home) if you install the BPEL product. Since, I have not installed BPEL/SOA, I am not very sure.
4. It should be the same as 10g (instead of OracleAS_Home, it will be ORACLE_Home) if you installed the BPEL product.
Also, I would recommend that you consider using ORACLE Smart Upgrade (JDeveloper component) to help you with the upgrade process. It exactly points out these mappings of file/directory structures AND the necessary configuration changes as well.
If you are requirement, is only about making the library jars available to your application, then consider reading the below discussion.

BI admin tool : Oracle OLAP vs ODBC3.5 OCI 10g/11g ...

Hi everyone,
I'm facing a problem when I try to create a repository using Oracle BI admin Tool.
In the second step of Create new repository , I have to choose between a lot of connexion types : ODBC3.5 , Oracle OLAP, OCI 10g/11g .... I don't know which of them I need to choose in my case.
In my case, I have a cube that I created using AWM, and I need to make a report that is based on that cube.
I don't really know how to proceed ...
I have Oracle BI is in a Unix server , and I installed Oracle BI admin tool client in my Windows 7.
Any idea which connexion type I should use, do I need to make an ODBC connexion for all of them ?
My comprehension of this is unclear ... any help ?
Thx all !!

Starting with OBIEE 11.1.1.5, as it understands Oracle-OLAP metadata in Oracle data dictionary, so to query data from OLAP Analytical workspaces you will always use "Oracle OLAP" as the source in BI-Admin-Tool.
When you will create report in OBIEE, it will then generate the query using the OLAP_TABLE sql function.
Note that automatically generated CUBE_TABLE views in OLAP (the ones suffixed with _VIEW) are not used at all (or even needed) when working with OBIEE 11.1.1.5+.

Oracle 10g and 11g Reports

I recently upgraded from Oracle Forms/Reports 10g to 11g. Oracle 10g Reports when saved as a PDF is easily converted to a word document, however ,Oracle 11g does not convert as 10g does. What is the difference and how to make the 11g report saved in a PDF be able to convert to a Microsoft Word document cleanly.
Thank you,
Steven

Hello,
There is a "known issue" with the PDF in 11g:
ALERT: Reports PDF Problems in 11.1.2.1.0 Patchset for Non-Linux Platforms (Doc ID 1522543.1)
May be the problem comes from this "issue" ...
"Patch Set Exception" exist for this issue.

Import OLAP Metadata in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 failing

We are in the process of integrating our existing Oracle OLAP infrastructure with OBIEE 11.1.1.5. We are currently on 11.2.0.1 DB with our 11g cubes in 11.2.0.0.0 compatibility mode.
We have two AWs within the same schema that are tightly integrated (Eg. Q12_AW and Q12_HIST_AW). When I import the metadata using OBIEE 11g BI Administrator, I can only see Q12_HIST_AW but not Q12_AW. Also, when I copy Q12_HIST_AW to OBIEE, it errors out. Looking at java host logs, it looks like I am getting parse errors but not sure how to pursue further on why the parser is failing.

It looks like OBIEE 11.1.1.5 ships with 11.1 jars and since my DB was running 11.2, I faced this issue. The fix is described below for folks who encounter this issue.
The OLAP API jars on the middle tier need to be updated to version 11.2.x. The OLAP API libraries are found in your Oracle Database home: [oracledb home]\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\olap\api\lib. BI EE provides an 11.1.x version of these files in [obiee home]\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\javahost\lib\obisintegration\aw\11g. Backup the BI EE version of the OLAP API jars and replace them with the version provided by the database.

Oracle OLAP ExpressDataProvider Exceptions

Hi
I'm using Oracle 9i OLAP API. There's something strange going on here. I written a test program that accesses the metadata and displays all it's contents. It runs fine on my home PC.

Manually Migrating from Oracle 10g to 11g

Hello, I'm currently a student in an Oracle DBA class. I'm totally new to the Oracle world.
One of our final assignments concerns upgrading Oracle instances without the use of DBUA.
I've currently got Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 and am trying to upgrade to 11.1.0.7.0
This is all inside of VirtualBox, running Windows Server 2008. I've been using 10g with absolutely no issues for the duration of this class.
I successfully installed 11g, choosing to install the software only and not use dbua.
I changed my environment variables to point towards the 10g installation; ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Then logged into 10g's SQLPlus and ran utlu111i.sql, which ran successfully. I issued a shutdown immediate and exited SQLPlus.
Changed my environment variables to point towards the 11g home and set ORACLE_SID as the 10g database name. I was able to log into 11g's SQL plus, was told I was connected to an idle instance, which I expected. I issued a startup upgrade command, and then attempted to run catupgrd.sql, but got an error stating that I had to run the script from 11g.
If I don't set the environment variables then when I try to log into 11g's sqlplus, I get an ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error... I've tried reinstalling 11g from scratch, but to no avail. My instructor and I have been emailing back and forth frequently over the past few days but we have not been able to reach a solution, so I thought I would see if I could pick your brains.
Here's all of the terminal output from the process:

In your case it was Disconnected from Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0
To solve the issue follow the official documentation, you have specific actions with oradim etc. to do (it's always a bit more complicated than with Unix/Linux but it's documented) :

OBIEE 11G HOLAP( drill through) from ORACLE OLAP to Relaltional table

Hi Experts...
I have some idea that the drill through from an essbase cube to an relational cube can be possible with few limitations in OBIEE 10g. I am looking for the same feature with ORACLE OLAP option . I have OLAP cube built in 11g (leve5 - granularity to one of the dimension) , and relational has 7 levels. In OBIEE once drill down to the level 5 it has fetched data from OLAP , and going beyond to level 6 -7 then it should get the data from relational table.
Do anyone had gone through such solution, Please kndly share your inputs and documents which would be helpful.
Thanks
S

This is very easy. It's really no different from setting up OBIEE to drill from one table to another. Let's assume that you have your cube mapped in OBIEE using the OBIEE plug-in for Analytic Workspace Manager. Here is an outline of the steps:
1. Add the dimension table and fact table to the OBIEE physical layer.
2. Add the new level to the OBIEE dimension object in the business layer.
3. Add the dimension table as a new logical table source to the existing dimension table in the business layer.
4. Add the fact table as new table in the business layer.
5. Define joins in the physical and business model as appropriate.
6. Set set keys in the tables and the dimension as appropriate.
7. Set the level for the new dimension table to the appropriate level in the dimension.
Again, it's really best to just think about this as drilling from one table to another.
