Oracle Discoverer 3.1 - Product Presentation • This is an ad hoc query and analysis tool for high performance user access to information • Present data in a text or graphics form … • Represent sense of data - information • Hide complexity of database from ordinary user - user doesn’t have to know SQL to ask efficient and effective queries by Maciej Korzeniowski (CERN-IT-IA-MI)
Some terminology ... • OLAP - On Line Analytical Processing is a tool for analysis and presenting data • MDDB - MultiDimensional Data Base - data base with data placed within dimensions e.g. Oracle Express • Dimension - e.g. Time, People • Hierarchy of dimension - e.g. • Time : Year-Quarter-Month-Week-Day-Hour-Minute-Second • CERN : Division-Group-Section-Persons by Maciej Korzeniowski (CERN-IT-IA-MI)
Overview of Oracle Discoverer • “Oracle Discoverer” has evolved into a powerful tool for analyzing data with the advantage of integration with other Oracle solutions. • This tool can be used as a part of the Oracle Express system or to simulate a MultiDimensional Data Base from a flat Oracle database. • It can be called “OLAP on client side”. No need for specialized MDDB server with separate administration, just MDDB view over production system. • “Oracle Discoverer” is the ‘next generation’ query tool that has replaced “Oracle Data Query”. by Maciej Korzeniowski (CERN-IT-IA-MI)
Overview of Oracle Discoverer […] • Aggregation of data, according to hierarchy (e.g. average expenses within section, group or division) • Multiple and multilevel data hierarchies within the dimensions (e.g. Person-Section-Group , Person- Building ) • Possibility to drill-down to detailed data and to drill-up to aggregation level by Maciej Korzeniowski (CERN-IT-IA-MI)
Pilot Project Within Mail Infrastructure Section of Internet Application Group - project on statistics and performance of servers and service • Data production system - system and service logs • Improve performance of service • Track or discover problems • Balance load of servers • Find abnormal behavior of system / service • Compare ‘status quo’ with historical data • Improve SPAM fighting by Maciej Korzeniowski (CERN-IT-IA-MI)
Architecture of Oracle Discoverer • Data Base - data storage • Administration edition • Data Base - End User Layer - storage for metadata of Discoverer [repository] • User edition Data storage Read metadata Administration Edition Requested data Create & manage EUL Redirect query to data storage User Edition EUL Ask query Read EUL (dimensions, hierarchies …) by Maciej Korzeniowski (CERN-IT-IA-MI)
Features of Administration Edition • Defining type of data and dimensions • Defining hierarchies of dimensions • Managing security - user access and privileges • Query Statistics • Managing (and creating) automatic summaries to speed up queries (on basis of query statistics) • Creating and managing available data, calculations, conditions etc • requires knowledge of databases by Maciej Korzeniowski (CERN-IT-IA-MI)
Features of User Edition • Create and manage • worksheets (query interfaces) • private calculations, conditions, totals • different aggregated and detailed views of data • graphs that are updated on-line, while drilling-down • Full access to all metadata authorized by administrator • Possibility to store worksheets on local disk or in repository (database) • Scheduling execution of worksheets • Requires no knowledge of SQL or databases by Maciej Korzeniowski (CERN-IT-IA-MI)
Oracle Discoverer 3i [beta]- New Features • Administration edition - still Win interface • User edition - web based application • Works with any HTTP server • Oracle Discoverer Server on separate machine • Integration and full compatibility with Oracle Sever 8i • Low maintenance architecture for large number of users • To run user edition the only necessary software is any Java enabled web browser by Maciej Korzeniowski (CERN-IT-IA-MI)
