Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Experiences / Notes on Data Warehousing on 9iRAC on Linux
We have had issues with BO queries that some of our users have constructed
and the way that either the query or the tool chooses to retrieve the
information. We have some user generated queries that will run for several
hours. I don't know enough about what BO does when it constructs the
queries or decides how it will join tables or how it will parse the query
this time.
I'm not sure that there ARE good work arounds, but don't complain that they don't want to use the ad-hoc query capabilities. Life can get more complicated when they do.

We have had major performance problems with Business Objects running on top of a multi-gigatype data warehouse. Granted, we've been using full-client BO, rather than WEBI, but I think the architectural drawbacks are the same -- that is, BO wants to build a cube on the Business Objects server, so it ends up bringing masses of data to that server from the database. We are still trying to do some diagnosis, but our current suspicions are that the BO server is, in fact, memory-bound. (And here the IT department was trying to blame the Oracle database.)
Another issue is that the end users don't like the user interface provided for building adhoc queries and have basically declared they don't think they'll ever use it. As of now, I'm not quite aure what the objections are, just that it is "too complicated". The BO repository has been pre-populated with filters, metrics, etc, for their use, but it's still "too complicated".

My organisation is planning to migrate the current DWH [8i on Solaris] to 9iRAC on Linux. The initial load will be 50GB, growing to 500GB in 6 months.
I am looking for notes / "how-tos" / tips / traps on implementing a
DWH on 9iRAC on Linux.
Current extraction from the ODS is by combinations of FTP and PLSQL jobs.
We would be looking at products like Ascential DataStage or BusinessObjects
DataIntegrator
or the like for ETL and BusinessObjects WebIntelligence for
Reporting/Querying.
