According to Igor Machin, the post 9.2.0.3 patch for Oracle 9i is now due in August / September. Groan :-)

The new Analytic Workspace functionality in OWB9.2 and OWB9.0.4 relies on this, as does the forthcoming Analytic Workspace Manager add-in for OEM. I've been waiting for this patch for around twelve months now; without this functionality in OWB and OEM, there's no way to create and populate analytic workspaces without resorting to Express code. Until this functionality is build into some easy to use GUI tools, usage of 9i OLAP is going to be held back.

Here's hoping they finally get the patch out in time for the UKOUG in December, as it's central to a couple of presentations i've put forward for the conference. We planned to show off this functionality last year, but unfortunately it wasn't ready in time. Let's hope it gets delivered soon, as an end-to-end Oracle via OWB to 9i OLAP demonstration would be pretty compelling.
