Oracle Discoverer 4i
Discoverer is an all-in-one information tool from Oracle. Discoverer gives you sophisticated ad hoc query, analysis, reporting and web publishing capabilities.
Administration Edition Is an application that database administrators use to prepare the data so users' exploration can be easy and productive. User Edition Enables business professionals to explore and analyze the data that's important to them -- while avoiding complex database structures and procedures.
Administration Edition
The Administration Edition is the tool you'll use to maximize these benefits for your users Because most databases are designed for efficient data storage, not for ease of use. Discoverer User Edition makes data in databases easy to use by presenting it with familiar business-like names, organized to serve users' needs.
To help users get the most from Discoverer User Edition, we need to perform a series of tasks. •7 Step Process
7 Step Process • • • • • • •
Perform Business Analysis of User requirements Mapping User needs to Database Structures Create End User Layer (EUL) Create Business Areas Refine Business Areas to fit User needs Use Admin Edition to maintain Business Areas Privileges to Users/Roles
End User Layer The End User Layer lies between the User Edition and the database. It shields users from the complexity of database tables, views, columns, joins, and SQL.
Business Area
A business area is a logical grouping of information from database tables or views. Within a business area, you create: Folders -- based on tables and views. Items -- based on columns.
Business areas are stored in the End User Layer.
The structure and names that you choose for the business areas, folders, and items can make the data easier for users to query and analyze.
