First, you need to make the distinction between upgrading the core Siebel Analytics platform (now renamed Oracle BI EE Plus) and the Siebel Business Analytics packaged application (now renamed Oracle BI Applications). Details on upgrading both products are in the product documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31771.pdf http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13697_01/doc/bia.795/e13767/toc.htm Upgrading the core Siebel Analytics platform to OBIEE+ is not too difficult, although you will need to upgrade any Actuate reports to use BI Publisher, and the MS Office add-in has changed. Upgrading the SBA application to OBI Apps is more involved and should be done in conjunction with a consulting partner, or Oracle. I'm afraid I don't have any information about the DAC Dependency profile. regards, Mark Aj,

Oracle is going to embed the Analytics directly into R12 future releases. Does this mean we must by Oracle BI in future to maintain key components of ERP? (Oracle is talking about having transaction screens with BIEE fully embedded post R12.1.1) Got a question. Oracle is going to embed the Analytics directly into R12 future releases.

The restriction is more in the OEM license that Oracle offers, this is what stops you using it for general data integration purposes. WRT virtual machines, unfortunately we are not able to distribute these as Oracle (like other vendors) does not allow third-parties to distribute their software like this. regards Mark Hi Robert

2 questions if you please,

* Do you know whether, technically
- i.e. all “legal issues” aside,
PowerCenter (from http://tinyurl.com/nf7yoh), can be installed and run standalone ?

* Virtual Machines – do you have any VMs with BI/warehouse apps that you can and are willing to share ?

thanks

Is there any kind of reference manual or documentation available for it. Most of the adapter information - I see is based off of Seibel eService/eContracts, and some of the items description is not well defined. By the way - we are in the process of implementing OBIEE (BI APPS) only - no OLTP Thanks in Advance Gary Hello Everyone,

Does any one of you had to go through the process of working with BI Apps (Built-in) Adapters for Service/Contracts?

Is there any kind of reference manual or documentation available for it.

Most of the adapter information – I see is based off of Seibel eService/eContracts, and some of the items description is not well defined.

By the way – we are in the process of implementing OBIEE (BI APPS) only – no OLTP

Thanks in Advance
