Rittman Mead - Delivered Intelligence

I was called in earlier this week by a client who’s using Oracle Portal with Discoverer. They have a number of Portal pages that contain Discoverer Portlets, and they’d been having some problems with the refresh of their portlets.
The way they’d set their Portal page up was that it contained a number of Discoverer Portlets, […]

One of the presentations I’m giving on the Monday at the UKOUG Conference is a joint talk with Mike Durran, the Oracle Discoverer Product Manager. Mike is going to do an update on Discoverer migration and interoperability with Oracle BI Suite Enterprise Edition, and I’m going to show off one of the first fruits of […]

I’d noticed a couple of comments on this blog, and some others, around the setup steps required for Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer integration. Setting this up requires quite a few steps in the 10.1.2.2.0 release of Discoverer, which should be made a lot easier in the 10.2.0.3 release, but for now you have to […]

The other day I wrote about the first of the integration features between Oracle BI Suite Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition in my article “Integrating Oracle Answers and Oracle Portal”. Today, I’m going to take a look at integrating Oracle Discoverer and Oracle BI Publisher, where BI Publisher can use a Discoverer worksheet as a […]

My article on real-time data integration with Oracle Data Integrator has just been published on OTN.
This was quite an interesting article to write; apart from establishing how ODI related to OWB, I also put an example together that takes data, via Asychronous Hotlog Change Data Capture, from an Oracle database, combines it with data from […]

Just a quick catch up post, as I sit here watching Spurs draw 1-1 with Blackburn.
Brian Duff posted a link earlier this week to the new Oracle Blogs Semantic Web site, that aggregates a much wider set of blogs than the old blogs.oracle.com site, and adds some Ajax, tags and semantic web goodness to allow […]

I mentioned the other days that one of the papers I’m delivering for ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2007 is on Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBI EE) for Discoverer users. The aim of this paper is to introduce OBI EE to those Oracle customers who currently use Discoverer, perhaps have requirements that Discoverer can’t currently handle, has […]

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 […]

A quick update on the Discoverer 10.1.2.2.0 article I wrote earlier this week, where I mentioned that database patch 5146470 mentioned as a requirement in the documentation isn’t actually available for Windows. At the time I contacted metalink as by not installing the patch, I could have been risking corruption to my analytic workspaces, and […]

Following on from Abhinav’s announcement last week, I downloaded the 10.1.2.2.0 patch for Application Server 10g over the weekend, and started having a look at the new Discoverer and Spreadsheet Add-in features that it makes available.
If you’ve just got BI Suite Standard Edition installed on it’s own (i.e. not part of a Portal and Infrastructure […]
