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 was taking a look through the BI&DW presentation extracts for the upcoming ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2007 event next June, and I noticed quite a few that I’m keen to attend. The event is in Daytona Beach, Florida, and compared to the recent Collaborate event there’s quite a few presentations by various Oracle BI product managers […]

I’m Jon Mead, I’ve worked with Mark for a number of years on projects around the UK, and together we started up Rittman Mead Consulting earlier this year to try and help Oracle customers around […]

Just a quick posting as I’m about to get my flight back to the UK (via San Francisco, unfortunately, so it’ll be a long journey). Yesterday I went to talks on SOA and RAC, and went along to Cary Millsap’s talk on why you often end up tuning the wrong thing when trying to optimize […]

One of my team has just upgraded an OWB implementation on a customers development system. By and large most of the upgrade went well - everything was pretty much as described in the documentation. The upgraded code just needed to be called from a different shell script (we use a third-part cross platform scheduler product […]

Tomorrow is the OUG Scotland BI Tech SIG Meeting up in Edinburgh, and I’m about to get on a train up to Gatwick to fly up this afternoon. I’m doing two presentations, the PDFs for which I’ve just uploaded:

An Introduction to Oracle Data Integrator
Apart from myself, Peter Scott and Mike […]

The other day I posted an article on migrating OWB modules to production, and I said that I’d come back shortly with some OMB*Plus code to automate the migration process. As good as my word, I’m now back with the said code.
In this example, we have a module called “CUSTOMERS” in an OWB10gR2 proiject called […]

A couple of weeks ago I posted an article on using Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2 in a production environment. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to spend some time with customers doing just this, and I’ve come up with a few more observations that are worth adding to the original article.
In the original blog posting, […]

I have mentioned here before that one of our customers has a BI system based on an Oracle 9.2 Data warehouse and uses OWB 9.2.0.8 for the majority (but not all) of the ETL processes. For various reason linked with vendor certifications the system was frozen at Oracle 9. We wanted to upgrade the database […]
