In this next posting on building an Oracle Real-Time Decisions project (part 1, part2 and part 3 are here if you’ve not seen them already), I’m going to look at the process of creating and populating the variables that RTD will use when building my predictive model. To recap, I’m looking to build an RTD […]

Over the past two days, we’ve taken an initial look at Oracle Real-Time Decisions (RTD), come up with a scenario with which we can build an RTD demo, and yesterday taken a look at the various elements of an RTD project. Today, we’re going to take the Order Bookings manufacturer choice scenario and match it […]

Well, I have been out here in Qatar for a week now. The work has been quite interesting and the days have been rather busy. Jon and I haven’t really had any time to take in any sights, until last night when we went to an outdoor market. It was very nice and relaxed, loads […]

I’m just holed up in the lounge at Schiphol Airport, The Netherlands, waiting for a plane back to Heathrow. Today was a very pleasurable day doing some training for Centennium, an Oracle BI & data warehousing specialist consultancy based down in The Hague, the team were really welcoming and keen to hear about what’s new […]

In yesterday’s posting, I set the scene for an Oracle Real-Time Decisions project that I’m going to integrate into the Oracle SOA Suite Order Bookings BPEL process. At present, the Order Bookings process allocates manufacturing jobs based on who provided the lowest quote; in the demo I’m going to build, jobs will be allocated based […]

Canals - check. Cobbled streets - check. Trams and lots of bicycles - check. Erotic shops - check. Refreshingly liberal attitudes and some eye-watering channels on the hotel TV - check. It can only be the Netherlands, and I’m over here staying at a rather nice hotel in The Hague, getting ready for a one-day […]

And for my next trick, I shall be …. building an Oracle Real-Time Decisions project. For anyone who didn’t catch the posting on this blog earlier this year, Real-Time Decisions is a part of Oracle BI Suite Enterprise Edition, originally built by Sigma Dynamics and included as part of Siebel CRM, and now available standalone […]

As I mentioned yesterday I was in London (in fact in the shadows of Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament) today for the UK OUG BIRT SIG meeting. The venue was also shared by a UK OUG directors meeting so I got the opportunity to chat to Peter Robson over lunch. Oddly, we ended […]

Now that Essbase is more or less up and running, what else is there to do on a twelve-hour flight except put a couple of Essbase cubes together, to see how the process works and compare it to Analytic Workspace Manager? As a quick recap, I’ve got Essbase (a.k.a. Hyperion Analytic Services) 9.3.1 installed, along […]

Now that I’ve got Hyperion Essbase installed and seemingly working OK, I thought it worth taking a look through the Essbase manuals to try and get a feel for how Essbase works. In particular, I’m looking to see what it has in common with Oracle OLAP and Express Server, partly out of curiosity but also […]
