Oracle Express and AWM.
MDixitMar 31 2008 — edited Mar 31 2008Hi,
Little background about myself:
I used to work on Oracle Express platform (upto Version 6.2) and front end products like OFA, OSA and OEO till 2004. Then I got an opportunity to work on Oracle 10g platform and this time, the products were Oracle Reports, Oracle Portal and a little bit of OWB. Then I chose to work on tuning (SQL, PL/SQL and the overall applications) and offering help to Java resources as far as Oracle is concerned, internally within my company. (So for nearly 4 years I was away from Oracle OLAP technology.) I now have got an opportunity to work on BI solutions, again.
Analytical Workspace Manager:
I recently have started to explore AWM (10.2.0.3A). (I have gone through a few articles by authors such as Mark Rittman, eg.)
Questions:
1. Can AWM and other reporting tools (like Discoverer) be used as possible replacements (but complete) for the old Oracle Express applications? And / or, can a completely new Oracle OLAP application be developed using AWM and Oracle Discoverer, for example?
2. What about AWM's future as an Oracle OLAP cubes development tool?
Can anybody please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Manoj.
