Do we need Oracle OLAP Engine for OBIEE

• Oracle OLAP - XMLA

  Hello
  We want to use FlexMonster (http://www.flexmonster.com/) to connect to Oracle OLAP cubes. I asked FlexMonster support and they said that if Oracle OLAP supports the Protocol XMLA FlexMonster can be used.
  
  I think we need to buy the XMLA Simba for Oracle OLAP provider for this purpose; or is Oracle OLAP natively support XMLA?
  
  Can you help us to answer this question?
  
  Thank you
  RK

  Oracle OLAP does not support XMLA (or any other form of MDX). So, you'll need [url http://www.simba.com/MDX-Provider-for-Oracle-OLAP.htm] Simba for this.

• OBIEE and Oracle OLAP value based hierarchies

  Hello...
  
  I have a dimension of value based on Oracle OLAP and want to map on OBIEE Administration tool.
  I was using the link above as reference:
  http://www.Oracle.com/technology/OBE/olap_biee/CreateBIEEMetadata.htm
  
  
  There is no option to import from Oracle Database multidirectional. Either import/configure the view created by OLAP as Unballanced or Dimension shredded.
  
  I also checked this example, but it uses ESSBASE multidimensional source...

  @Mark and Marcos:

  No, you don't 'stink' to OBIEE and you aren't big draws. OBIEE can not handle hierarchies measure today. Period. What you face Oracle OLAP is true to the CSG and Essbase as well. Are jagged, asymmetrical, etc, that no problem at all for normal dinemsional hierarchies, but you can forget about it in the hierarchies of the measure.

  Basically, it comes down to the fact that OBIEE needs a 'table' to act as the 'fact '. So if I have a cube with the 'Scénario' and 'Account' then I have to choose one as the measures dimension and the other as a normal dimension.
  If I choose "Account", then the members account will be flattened and becomes my fact table. The Scenario dimension becomes a dimension with the generations as the columns of the logic and the scenarios themselves appearing as members of dimension.
  If I "turn" the cube and do 'Scénario' my measure dimension, accounts become members in a dimension hierarchy and scenarios become columns in my table of facts.

  There is no work around in any version of 10g and the "rotation" is the only way you can create reports if you work with several measures on several levels of the hierarchy.

  See you soon,.

  I have Oracle's BI lies in a Unix server, and I installed the tool customer Administration Oracle BI in my Windows 7.
  
  No idea what kind of connection I have to use, I need to make an ODBC connection for each of them?
  
  My understanding of this is not clear... any help?
  
  THX all!

  Starting with OBIEE 11.1.1.5, as it includes the Oracle OLAP metadata in the Oracle data dictionary, in order to query the data of OLAP analysis workspaces you can always use "Oracle OLAP" as a source in BI-Admin-Tool.

  When you create report to OBIEE, it then generates the query using the sql OLAP_TABLE function.

  Note that the views CUBE_TABLE generated automatically in OLAP (those with the suffix with _VIEW) are not used at all (or even necessary) when working with OBIEE 11.1.1.5 +.

  -Oracle Corporation markets the Oracle database OLAP Option optional additional costs to complete the "Enterprise Edition" of its database.
  -Oracle OLAP database is it preinstalled with the rest of the Oracle database ERA. You just need her license for use on the Machine of DB when you choose to use it.
  -Oracle OLAP is a multidimensional analytical engine world class integrated into the Oracle 11 g database.
  
  Please confirm if I can try some OLAP features in my office where I have Oracle 11 g what EE installed as asked me to do an initial POC?
  
  Kind regards

  Hello

  I think that the OLAP license is covered by the OTN Developer License - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/testcontent/standard-license-088383.html

  You should contact your representative local Oracle sales if you are still not sure

• Dynamic selection of images for OBIEE 11 g report

  Hello dear colleagues,
  
  need help to solve a problem with the dynamic selection of images for reports OBIEE 11 g.
  For OBIEE 10 g, it works perfectly - put images in
  
  *'\ < HOME_ORACLE_BI > \web\app\res\s_oracle10\images'*
  
  Directory and enter edit the column formula (in the answers) of the expression:
  
  * ' < table_name > '. "" < table_column > | ". jpg'*.
  
  and selecting
  
  URL of the image (in the properties of column-> Data Format)
  
  retrieve the images appropriate for the corresponding model (the project is for fashion retail customer) regarding the description of the specified column (for example * "DM_ITEM".) «MODEL_CODE ' ('09361' = *) put correspondence the name of the image file (* '09361.jpg' *).»
  
  For the OBIEE 11g (installed on W7, DWH on MSSQL 2008R2, VM in the field), I followed the link * "http://vikramwalia.wordpress.com/category/obiee-11g/" * and stuck at the step where the browser should recover image (s) based on the following address:
  
  *' http://localhost:9704/analyticsRes/product / *.
  
  Dive into the issue, I checked the staticports.ini and in the * [WEBLOGIC] * section find the following message is displayed:
  
  *#The port of 'content' for the most part POET. This is the Weblogic managed server port on which BIEE applications are deploie.*
  Oracle WLS BIEE managed Server Port No. = 9704
  
  that seems to be OK...
  
  The netstat command response confuses me much since I found (and also of external) record for TCP Local address (should be < IP localhost >: 9704), which lead me to the point that, probably one of the OBIEE 11 g services not started OR I made a mistake during installation of OBIEE 11 g, although the system did not send a message about this possibility. BTW, the BI Publisher on this machine works correctly.
  
  So, kindly ask support or advice on this subject. Thank you
  AL

  Make sure that you have deployed the analyticsRes component as shown in http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/bi/bi1113/customizing_obiee11g/customizing_obiee11g.htm. Create a folder called produced under analyticsres and start accessing images.

• Some issues related to the Oracle OLAP features

  Hello!
  
  I have a few questions for which I'm not sure that it supports Oracle OLAP:
  
  1. several hierarchies of time?
  2 measure groups?
  3. visible values?
  
  Thank you!
  Best regards, Simon

  (1) oracle OLAP supports multiple hierarchies on any dimension, including the dimensions of time. But note this means something different from multiple hierarchies in Microsoft Analysis services.

  (2) oracle OLAP has multi-cube architecture, so you can easily combine several cubic measures in a single query. This allows to create the equivalent of a measure group. You can do this either by creating a new cube with calculated measures that point the cubes from the base, or at the SQL level by joining the views of cube. There are advantages to both approaches.

  (3) oracle OLAP has no native support for the visible values. To get the visible values, you need to run the part of aggregation in SQL.

• Oracle Discoverer workbooks in OBIEE 11 g migration

  Hello
  Can you tell me how we can migrate workbooks Oracle Discoverer in OBIEE 11 g, I heard that there is a tool that escapes in last summer for this migration, can someone give me details on this one.
  
  Thank you very much.

  Hello
  I fear that Oracle failed to conversion of the discoverer in OBIEE workbooks. It is still on the radar, but they have nothing.

  For some of my clients, it's a huge setback. I have a client who has more than 32,000 discoverer workbooks and adding more at a rate of about 5 000 per year. Obviously, a customer of this size is a potential customer for OBIEE. The only thing they can do now is to rewrite all the reports.

  To this would be a huge task and I did some math for them. Let's say you can rewrite a report every 15 minutes, to test and parallel runs. So you can convert 4 in an hour or a full day 32. 32 32 000 Diviiding means that they would need to allocate 1,000 days-men for the task. Knowing that, on average, a person works about 220 days a year and you are looking at about 5 years of human, not including potentially 1000's of new discoverer workbooks that were created at this time. Needless to say that my client is not happy with Oracle and refuse to engage in this way stick with the discoverer.

  I know for a fact, this company is not alone and I personally urge Oracle to allocate resources to correctly convert the discoverer workbooks. I know part of the problem is that there are things that discoverer takes his cruising speed OBIEE cannot do or has great difficulty with. I don't see how you can convert up to OBIEE customers can do everything that Finder can do.

  Thoughts anyone?

• Cognos for obiee conversion framework requirements

  Hi all
  
  I'm working on a request for proposal for a project that includes the conversion of Cognos in OBIEE. Now, I have no knowledge on the functioning of Cognos, but the system "AS IS" a lot of cubes which they build cognos reports. Also, most of their system is transactional and dimensionless.
  
  I know that for this convert to OBIEE, it may require ETL work and then I can build the RPD file but could you be it someone please let me know if there is any other SETTING that is required before proceeding with the conversion. From a technical point of view, what are the requirements before we can begin to migrate to OBIEE. Can anyone let me know the measures of high level that needs to be done for this type conversion. Will be very grateful to you all.
  
  Thank you
  Ronny

  No, OBIEE can point directly to the Cognos Cubes. Yes, you will need to move forward with the ETL process.

  In addition, according to the source, you have your org can go for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications...

  It's something called (Build Vs buy i.e. OBIEE vs OBI Apps). A business intelligence solution pre-built with prebuit ETL, DW, OBIEE. You can check out the link and learn more on this...

• Help! I can't change the search engine for the Firefox widget on my home screen

  OK, so my engine failure to research on FF for Android is Duckduckgo. It is also the only one I have in my list of search engines in FF settings. I also use the search widget FF on my homescreen for quick search. It is and has always been, Duckduckgo. But, all of a sudden after the recent update (I use the FF, 36 beta something), for my search widget on my home screen, switched to Google search engine! I don't know why... I never use it. But this applies only to the search engine for the FF search on my home screen widget, not when I'm looking for something in FF itself. Does anyone else have this problem? Because I can't find a way to change the search engine in the FF widget... Looked everywhere in search widget settings and in FF itself. Thanks for the help of any body!

  I found a way to implement back to DuckDuckGo after a bit of fiddling with the default search engine in the browser.

  I think that the update should have overridden the setting somehow. What you need to do is to any other search engine default, then set DuckDuckGo returned as default. This will also update engine of the widget's default search.

  I hope this helps.

• For some reason any ASK became my main search engine for FIREFOX on FIREFOX start page how can I find my GOOGLE search engine

  For some reason to ASK is become my search engine for the main home page of Firefox search bar, I want to return my search engine on Google. How is that possible?

  This looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc (oracle is group the ask toolbar in its critical security updates if you don't mind a disselect for example).

  Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also go to Control Panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
  Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search

  then install the reset search addon - he'll come back more often customizations make these adware programs in default firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
