Rittman Mead - Delivered Intelligence

I just finished reading through Mark Rittman’s post titled OBI EE, Time Dimensions and Time-Series Calculations Here, Mark goes on a wee journey to look at how time-series queries in OBIEE (as the title suggests :)) can be set up. As can only be expected this is an interesting read.
His post comes at a good […]

I was trying to find out more about the new version of OBI EE on Metalink. If you try to find a patch or update, then you will not find it in the “Product or Family”. An Advanced search in the Knowledge Base for the exact phrase Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition will give some […]

Just noticed on OTN that a new version of the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition is out. The full version number is 10.1.3.2.1 (one step from the previous Maui release 10.1.3.2).

The new Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty fawn) is out. I used the built-in upgrade facilities to get the new release.

This is a strange one. The service INI file (nqsconfig.ini) for the OBIEE does suggest that the server can handle more than one repository at a time. In fact, if you do add another repository to the configuration file, that file must be a valid repository as well. Otherwise the server won’t start.
There is a […]

I finished banging Beryl in to my newly installed Ubuntu box last night. I run a dual boot Windows XP and Ubuntu 6.10. The mix of IDE and SATA disks made Grub gag a bit but it all went ok in the end. I had previously installed Fedora Core (from 1 to 5) but decided […]

Well, spring is here. Well, not exactly. The date has arrived but in sunny Belgium, we seem to have missed the whole event. It actually snowed today as we were enjoying our “Bring a plate” lunch, followed by the usual drinks (and this time even beer). These team-building are really enjoyable and everybody really seemed […]
