How to set up a trick called ‘put a file in a folder and it’ll dissappear in DWH’ with Oracle Data Integrator. Imagine that we need to upload a text file in DWH whenever it appears in some folder with no defined schedule. It really easy to do in ODI: 1) Create a package with [...]
Since I’ve spent a day breaking through this mess, I’d share my way of getting ODI to work with XE as a repository. ODI repository creation is sucessfull, but after that Topology Manager and all other ODI modules won’t work, throwing “ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified” while connecting to XE. There are [...]
Rather interesting: BI CPM The CPM Big Three(aka leaders quadrant) is formed and I think they’ll just waltz around the quadrant in next couple of years. PS: Just to notice, they say aggregate awareness for Cognos BI is in beta-testing. Just after I spent so much space promoting database-level aggregate navigation.

Since I’ve spent some time working with Oracle Business Intelligence last year, I think I’d write a simple comparison list of strengths\weaknesess of OraBI EE vs Cognos (see post on the same topic by Venkatakrishnan). All of this is imho, of course. Oracle BI EE Pro’s: 1) Aggregate navigation – ability to set up aggregate [...]
Okay, it has been almost half-a-year (oh, dears) since the last decent post on this blog. Russian one has suffered as well, I must note. Reasons vary, but mostly it’s that I’ve been, you know, busy-busy. As I now start to reflect on it, it’s always a point of view thing and a question of [...]
Read Edward Roske and Tracy McMullen’s “Look Smarter than you are with Essbase System 9″ over the weekend. It’s really the best “technical” book I’ve read over past couple of years. Written in simple and not annoying language, with a lot of humor (I couldn’t hold myself when I’ve read the fight club joke) — [...]
Finally got a chance to try essbase out on real data volumes. Building half-a-billion facts cube turned out into something like this: PS: I have very special attitude to David Lynch’s films. A physical one. Just the sight of road running away at “Lost Highway” makes me creepy. It takes me about 5 seconds to [...]
With so-long waited new Contributor client, with expand\collapse and nest dimensions features. And a lot, lot more. ActiveX free ) Actually, as long as I’m with cognos ep (since adaytum 2.4), contributor was always the same good-old-rigid tool, so it’s a revolution indeed. Well, with a huge lot of bugs inside, it’s time, gentlemen, to [...]
All thanks to Shawn Rogers for recording. Rob Ashe Interview Southwestern Energy Company CFO at the US Army’s Armament Research Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) Last “Cognos-only” forum, they say. Next will be more IBMish. And they didn’t invite me
I’ve been a long-term fan of oracle model by clause, talking about here and there, doing some small&funny examples (like eight queens solution in one select) but lacked some real-life necessity to use it. It always turned out that partition by was enough, or some tricky analytical function was already built-in (like trend calculations I [...]
