OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris Mark Rittman I could talk about the dimensional modeling features in Paris (partic. the OLAP support), and the data cleansing / data profiling features.

OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris Allison McGee We have learned about all the nuances of how to deploy and redeploy dims, cubes, tables, etc and avoid a number of common error messages. We have utilized the feature to Derive the BI Objects to an Discoverer EUL/BA and we have utilized that BA to build reports, etc. Basically, we have used all of the functionality within a real project setting with the exception of the impact analyzer. Would like to understand what others have done to utilize the 'error handling' approach built into Paris.

OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris roald.heie I have found several issues related to Real Time Mappings, and I would like to know what others think about this feature in Paris

OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris Vlamis, Inc. I am especially interested in the OLAP capabilities of OWB. We like to use in conjunction with Analytic Workspace Manager, but the metadata is different between OWB and AWM, hampering collaborative efforts.

OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris I LOVE and I HATE LOVE  Things that are great about OWB, or this particular new feature HATE  Things that are worse about this release, things I just still loathe about OWB Nothing too big or small!
