Regarding Oracle Financial Analyzer

Hi all
Does oracle Financial Analyzer works with Oracle Apps only or can it be used with Other ERP packages also??
2)Is there any document on how to get reports regarding EVA,RAROC using the Oracle Financial Analyzer.

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 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.

  • 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,

    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 -

  • 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

  • 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

    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 Financial , getting external Data

    We have an oracle financial system running with an inventory module , we need to link the database to an external dataase (text file). The program should upload text formatted (comma separated) data into the respective field and update it.
    Can this be done , this is a part of physical stock taking with a hand held computer..

    You have to load your data into MTL_TRANSACTIONS_INTERFACE table and submit Material Transaction Manager.

    Hi Dodydh,
    I am afraid, your statement 'At r.12, Oracle has a new modul, i.e. Oracle Payment, which was subdomain of Oracle Payable.' is not correct.
    Oracle Payments is an upgrade version of Oracle iPayments of 11i and this module is expected to serve Self service modules. But Payment Batches which is part of Oracle Payables has been moved to Oracle Payments.
    You can very well ask them to implement Payment Batches (Processes relating to Funds Disbursement) but not the entire module.
    Please let me know if you require further info.
