Do we need data warehouse, if we only create dashboards and reports in obiee?

Hello! I'm new to obiee.

My organization has decided to build their reports and dashboards using obiee. I am involved in this mission, but I don't have in-depth knowledge he obiee.  My question is what do we need to have the installation of the data warehouse? Or I just need to just install obiee by the creation of a repository, and then by creating a data source in publisher bi and then create dashboards or reports?

I'm confused too please help me in this regard. Please share any document or link where I can easily understand these things. Thank you

Please share any document or link where I can easily understand these things. Thank you

OBIEE is a software to run without a good understanding of its complex concepts. I would really recommend attending a training course, or at least a book (for example this or this). There are MANY items of general blog on OBIEE, many of which are of poor quality and are all step-by-step guides on how to do a particular task, without explaining the overall situation.

If you want to use OBIEE and to make it a success, you have learned to understand the basics.

To answer your question directly:

-BI Publisher is not the same thing as OBIEE. It is a component of it (but also autonomous available). OBIEE makes data accessible through 'Dashboards' which is made up of 'Analysis', written in the answers tool. Dashboards can also contain content BI Publisher if you want

-OBIEE can report against the many sources of different data, one or more data warehouse and transactional. Most of the OBIEE implementations that perform well are based against dedicated DW, but is not a mandatory condition.

-If reports against a DW real or not, when you build the repository OBIEE you build a "virtual" data warehouse, in other words, you dimensionally model all your business in one data set of logic diagrams in Star.

  • How to complete the data or details of the only this year and the previous year for the given RATNG?

    Hi all

    I created a form with 5 blocks (namely ENQACMHDR, ENQACMDTL, ENQACEHDR, ENQACEDTL, ENQACSPEC), where I have 8 push buttons (namely ENTER_QUERY, EXEC_QUERY, CLEAR, FIRST, NEXT, PREVIOUS, LAST, and EXIT).

    This form is created just for display purposes only. So after that I ran, all blocks have been blocked against insert and update.

    I have question on 2 fields 'ENQNO' and "RATNG" (both belong to the ENQACMDTL block).

    When I click on "EXEC_QUERY" directly, all data for all years fills.

    But the user wanted the data to be populated only this year and the previous year.

    Yes, on ' Clause WHERE' of the property_palette of the 'ENQACMDTL' block , I put in the following condition:

    SUBSTR (ENQACMDTL. ENQNO, 1, 4) = TO_CHAR (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE,-12), 'YYYY') OR SUBSTR (ENQACMDTL. ENQNO, 1, 4) = TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY')

    PROPERTY PALETTE (ENQACMDTL block)
    WHERE ClauseSUBSTR (ENQACMDTL. ENQNO, 1, 4) = TO_CHAR (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE,-12), 'YYYY') OR SUBSTR (ENQACMDTL. ENQNO, 1, 4) = TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY')


    Data only this year and the year before are now filled. Its ok with the field of "ENQNO".

    The problem is when I have queries on the field "RATNG. 'RATNG' is a Text_item with number of displayed items = 5. (5 lines)


    Here are the 2 columns in a Table (name = ENQACMDTL) in the database.


    ENQNO RATNG
    2013900054500KC2
    2013900047800KC4
    2013520018750KC6
    ...............
    20129000371000KC2
    2012520109500KC2
    2012140019750KC6
    ..................
    2011540036500KC2
    20111000301000KC2
    ..................
    .................
    200610000790KD8
    2006750014750KC6
    2006900072500KC2

    The first 4 issues of "ENQNO" represents the year. There is more than a lakhs of records.

    So, when I have queries on the field "RATNG."

    Example: for RATNG = 500KC2;

    I click on ENTER_QUERY, the field of "RATNG", I put in the 500KC2 of the value and click on EXEC_QUERY; Details regarding the 500KC2 is displayed as well as all the other junk RATNG as 750KC6, 1000KC2 (which belongs to the ENQNO of the current year and previous year) also gets displayed.

    I want details of only RATNG (500KC2) to display, but only for the current year and the previous year, it is 2013900054, 2012520109 (ENQNO).

    Other than 500KC2 RATNG, no other RATNG must be displayed.

    500KC2 = RATNG is also present for ENQNO = 2011540036, 2006900072. But I don't want them to view.

    I want only the data or details of the current year and the previous year to be filled or displayed for the given RATNG.

    Can you help me or tell me what I do for this?

    Hope I'm clear with my question!

    If my question is not clear, let me know please.

    Thank you.

  • Can't see the iSCSI data warehouses after reboot

    I have 2 ESX 3.5.0 u3 hosts running on Dell PowerEdge 2950 servers and connect to a Dell PowerVault MD3000i. Recently, I upgraded the MD3000i gen.2 firmware, and after the upgrade, one of the MD3000i controllers began to experience extremely slow (3-4 MB/s) write to its LUNS assigned speed. Dell support reviewed my setup and said I have a configuration problem - all 4 of the MD3000i ports are on the same subnet, while according to them, they should be divided into two subnets. I have interruption scheduled for this Saturday, close all virtual machines, added an additional VMkernel port and a service console for the new subnet on each host, removed addresses for two of the ports of discovery dynamic and restarted the two hosts. When they restarted, I changed the IP address on a single port on each controller. The servers came, restored 4-port iSCSI sessions and can see two LUNS defined on the MD3000i, but cannot see data warehouses - it's like they went, and LUN are naked. Creating new data warehouse will wipe away their own, and while I have current backups, I would rather jump restore all this from scratch. Is there anything that can be done here?

    -Very well, could be a problem of will:

  • I have a virtual machine that is resident on two data warehouses, and I need to move

    Okay, I'm trying to reconfigure the storage on a cluster of ESXi to software development, and I fell on a virtual machine that is resident on two data warehouses.  Somehow, the user has configured this thing to have most of the VM files on the data store 5 while all the vmdk but the residence on the data store 1 boot drive.  He probably did it because of the size of the old warehouses of data and the many VMs older than his colleagues left sitting.  Well, now I just reconfigure data warehouses so that there is more usable space, but I can't move this machine a virtual so that I can reconfigure the rest of storage.  (For reference, the old warehouses of data have been implemented in 4 sets of three disks in RAID 3 and a set of four disks in RAID 3 with two drives hot spare.)  For the record: not my idea.  I am reconfiguring them now to be a set of 15 drives in RAID 6, divided into two LUNS on both controllers, with a hot spare.)

    Well, now I need to figure out how to get this VM is spent at one of new data stores.  The data migration store feature does not work.  Any recommendations?

    Hi Dangingerich,

    You can move the VMDK individually with the advanced functionality of storage vMotion allows you to ask the data disk on your new storage space and then have the OS disk track.

    YouTube Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhdmdcMmvas

    Screenshots

    When you svMotioning click on the Advanced button

    Here you can select the individual VMDK and move.

  • Need ideas for compare current Oracle EBS data against the data warehouse to establish data matches course.

    Hello, I am new to the Oracle Forum. I'm a BI developer and I need to compare data Oracle EBS in my organization with the data in the data warehouse to make sure they match. I am using Informatica for this process by pulling the two sources and comparing. Can someone give me a brief example to make this process or similar methods with Informatica and its transformations so that it can be useful. Thanks in advance. Let me know if you need more information about the process.

    Looks like you are trying to make a reconciliation process? That is you can have implemented BIAPPS (or something custom) and now I want to check your ETL? If this is the case then it's good enough for a test case - we usually start with senior level (actual numbers for each group of companies, for example), then a subset of other different queries for example as per a level in the hierarchy of the org, by position, dates etc.

  • Need a script to list all virtual machines on specific data warehouses

    I am trying to find a way to list all virtual computers on specific data warehouses. I use vSphere 5.1 and so far I got this:

    Get-Datastore. where {$_ .name - like ' * XXX * ""} | Get - VM | Select name, @{N = "Datastore"; {E = {Get-Datastore - VM $_}} | Sort name | FT - one

    This kind of work, but it would be perfect if I got this:

    -Group data store

    -Unique virtual machines (VMS to report only to the data store where the VMX)

    Any help appreciated.

    I relied on the fact that the first in the list would be the data store that holds the VMX, which apparently is a misconception.

    Try like this

    Get-Datastore-Name ' * xxx *' |

    Get - VM | Select the name,

    @{N = "Datastore"; E={$_. {{ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName.split ('[]') [1]}} |

  • In need of a script to the inventory of the virtual computer on data warehouses

    I analyzed vCheck by www.virtu-al.net. Great script and I can learn a lot of information that I need. However, I am a newbie to script and is looking to add a piece that I need inventory of data warehouses.

    That's what I need:

    I need an inventory of VMS on each cluster and have it store data that they are on a report. It would happen every night and I would be delighted if it had exported to a html file which can be downloaded to an internal wiki.

    I worry if this window does not work correctly, you should probably work out why, I use 1.5.0_17 jdk in our environments (with apps 7.9.5) and that works fine, I suggest to try another version of the JDK and see if that fixes the problem.

  • Data warehouse backups and read only tablespaces

    Hi all

    I'm working on a database to store data with the following specifications:

    Version: Oracle Enterprise 10.2.0.3
    Operating system: Solaris
    Application: Data warehouse

    Allows us to take the "level 0" & "level 1" RMAN backups. " We block change tracking is enabled and data files and archival of backups RMAN records directly on tape.

    I'm exploring ways to reduce backups "level 0" and was specifically focusing on the use of read-only repositories for this purpose. ".

    I often saw that he mentions that a best practice D/Ws is to store old static partitions of tables of facts read only tablespaces in order to reduce the size of backups.


    In case you have already implemented such a scheme, I would like to know how you have implemented it.

    I think the following mechanism:

    -Start using the tablespace, rather than 'level 0' backups at the database level.
    -Save the last SNA of all files before saving.
    -If the last CNS has not changed since the last backup and the tablespace is in read-only mode, then
    -Check if a copy of backup storage space was completed within the window of recovery and is accessible.
    -If the copy exists, so backup tablespace, otherwise save the tablespace.
    -If the tablespace is read/write, and then save it.


    I have not drawn on the low-level details, but this seems to be a lot of work. I just know from you if there are any device ready to use which makes all this easier.

    Thanks in advance.

    go through the documentation of rman, you will notice that if you put 'optimize' (use CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON the rman prompt) he will perform following tasks automatically during backup.

    -Save the last SNA of all files before saving.
    -If the last CNS has not changed since the last backup and the tablespace is in read-only mode, then
    -Check if a copy of backup storage space was completed within the window of recovery and is accessible.
    -If the copy exists, so backup tablespace, otherwise save the tablespace.

  • Need help with vSphere data script, packaging and sending it to the data warehouse

    Greetings PowerCLI gurus.


    Everyone can offer suggestions on a script which can query vSphere and pull on the following fields of the virtual computer:

    NameStateStatusHostSpace in useSpace used

    Format in a file in the CSV format and send the file to an FTP server?

    Much respect to all, thanks a lot in advance.

    Hello-

    Happy to help you.

    OK, well, if this database is accessible through a UNC path, you might make a copy directly using Copy-Item.  If you use different credentials, you can encrypt and store in an XML file.  HAL Rottenberg wrote to do http://halr9000.com/article/531.

    Or, if this pension data is something that supports the secure copy (scp) or secure FTP (SFTP), those who would be good options.  Again, you can store the alternative credentials in an encrypted in an XML file format and use them as needed.

    Certainly, there is a balance to be struck between security and ease of use.  It may be such that the transmitted data are not considered sensitive to all, and clear data transfers are acceptable.  Probably still a good idea to take measures to protect the credentials at least.

  • Need a script to find records and data warehouses that are near capacity.

    Guys,

    I'm new to Powershell faitly, is it possible to write a script tht will find virtual disks and data warehouses that are over 90% full?  I also want to export the results to an excel file.

    Thank you.

    For a 90% threshold, you let the value to 0.1.

    Calculate the free space as a percentage, so if the free space is less than or equal to 0.1 there is 10% or less available free space.

    Hope that makes sense.

  • A column of report need to keep data for one row only

    Hey guys,.

    I have a report that has a column that links to another page in my APEX application.

    There is a requirement where only the lines of this report needs to have a link so I need the column to display the link of the page for a line and one line only.

    Is the report will have about 5 rows at a time so a way to just this link appear for the line after line (this will be the top line) in the column of attirbute in APEX? or is it possible in SQL code for the report?

    Any help is very appreciated

    Thank you
    -Mark

    Hello

    The only way (I think) to do this is in the SQL code. Then you wrap just the column in a CASE statement and if it meets your criteria then build the link, and if not then display normally.

    Something like that...

    SELECT ename,
           CASE WHEN empno = 7839
           THEN ''||empno||''
           ELSE TO_CHAR(empno)
           END empno
    FROM emp

  • ESXi 4.1 upgrade to ESXi 5.5 while all virtual machines and data warehouses

    We have two servers ESXi 4.1.0 348481 (Essentials) and we need to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 for support of Windows Server R2 2012. We intend to use the interactive upgrade. We want to ensure that the virtual machine is preserved. More precisely VMFarm001 where ESXi is installed in the same data store as VMServer1. VMServer1 is our largest server and cannot be migrated to another data store easily because we are not allowed for vMotion.

    The following layout

    VMFarm001

    Dell PowerEdge R710

    Data store:

    Storage1 - 1.36 TB

    VMServer1 - MS Server 2003

    Install ESXi

    Storage2 - 1.82 TB

    VMServer2 - MS Server 2008 R2

    VMServer3 - MS Server 2008 R2

    VMFarm002

    HP ProLiant ML350 G5

    Data store:

    Storage1 - 95GB

    Install ESXi

    ISOs

    Storage2 - 1.82 TB

    VMServer4 - MS Server 2008 R2

    VMServer5 - MS Server 2008 R2

    I have a feeling I'm worried for nothing given that option during the ESXi upgrade and keep the VMFS datastore.

    Thank you

    Yes, that's correct.

    I recently finished the upgrade of lots of stand-alone hosts ESXi 4.1 (with local storage only) to 5.1 and all were successful. The same process applies to 5.5, so you shouldn't have a problem with preservation of VMFS data warehouses (and all virtual machines).

    Thank you

    You probably only have local data warehouses, which are not that HA would require for this feature (pulsations datastore) to work properly.

    You will need either 2 iSCSI, FC 2 or 2 NFS volumes... Or a combination of the any of them, for this feature to work. If you don't want to use this feature, you can also turn it off:
