Conclusions
Essbase can significantly add to the capabilities of Oracle BI Enterprise Edition The Oracle BI Server can report against Essbase in isolation, or integrated with relational data Essbase can provide the aggregated data, the relational database can provide detail MOLAP and ROLAP measures can be combined into a single federated model The Oracle BI Server provides access to native Essbase MDX functions However, there are many issues and bugs to be aware of, this is an unfinished work Works best when your Essbase cube looks like a ROLAP cube, has a stable outline and security is handled by OBIEE Watch out for two otherwise working features not working in combination For more information, check out the accompanying white paper, and our blogs: ! http://www.rittmanmead.com/blog ! http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com Thank you for attending this session
