myObjectiveOLAP Server Overview


An optional server component can be installed to be used with the myObjectiveOLAP client.


The myObjectiveOLAP Server component offers a framework for migration of legacy Express, OFA, and OSA applications to Oracle OLAP 11g.

In addition it can be used by green-field Oracle OLAP application installations, or existing Oracle OLAP applications which would benefit from the following functionality.


Data Submission

Excel templates using the myObjectiveOLAP client can submit data back to Oracle OLAP, triggering post-load events such as aggregation, modeling or report generation.  

Full auditing of data submission is easily reportable and the API also allows for rollback of specific or all submissions. (1)

AW Data Loading

Data can be loaded directly into the Analytic Workspace environment without having to pass through the RDBMS layer. Data loads can be scripted and included as Local Processes within the myObjectiveOLAP work-flow Process Manager.

Meta-data management

Dimensional and structural maintenance can be scripted or manually maintained directly within the Analytic Workspace engine, without having to pre-populate the RDBMS layer.

User management

myObjectiveOLAP Server, handles user creation and rights management specific to an OLAP application.

Process Management

A robust and fully auditable Process Manager executes either Standard or locally defined processes.  

OLAP DML Execution

Local processes can be created using the full Oracle OLAP DML programming syntax to manipulate, load or export your data.  Many legacy applications can take advantage of this with minimal changes to the core business process logic.  Maximizing your ROI.

Data Scoping

Data can be fully scoped to enable or disable access to your business data.

Work Flow

Business processes can be defined based on input actions.

Oracle OLAP standard computability

Once you have built your cubes and meta data, you can enable them for Oracle OLAP standard compatibility for SQL client access, or access from other tools, such as OBIEE, Oracle BI Spreadsheet Addin, or APEX.


Notes.


1)        Clients who have previously defined templates for use with Oracle Express or Oracle Financial Analyzer

       using the "SDMC OFA Connect" software, can easily update their templates for use with Oracle OLAP and

       myObjectiveOLAP Server.



2)        It is recommended that clients use Oracle OLAP 11.2.0.3 or greater.  Whilst the myObjectiveOLAP Server

       components are certified for use on 11.2.0.2 and below, clients may encounter issues with multiple level

       based hierarchies when        attempting to maintain them within AWM. This issue has been resolved in 11.2.0.3

       of the Oracle database.
