support and enhancements to existing Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting customers. Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting customers who choose to migrate to Oracle BI Enterprise Edition will be able to take advantage of a comprehensive business intelligence solution for reporting, ad-hoc query and analysis, OLAP, dashboards and scorecards. Oracle BI Enterprise Edition features an architecturally integrated technology foundation that provides access to multiple data sources over the web using a Common Enterprise Information Model. Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting Translation Workbench is a utility designed to accelerate the metadata conversion from Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting to Oracle BI Enterprise Edition. Services from Oracle Consulting and partners can be leveraged to speed up the conversion from Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting to Oracle BI Enterprise Edition. Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting Translation Workbench Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting Translation Workbench is a utility that accelerates the creation of equivalent Oracle BI Enterprise Edition content from Hyperion Interactive Reporting documents. The workbench analyses multiple Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting documents (BQY’s), stored on the file system or the repository, and resolves all of the contained data models into an optimized Oracle BI Enterprise Edition Common Enterprise Information Model. The workbench then cycles through the BQY’s to recreate user interface objects like pivots, filters, tables and charts. Table 1 provides a listing of the various Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting metadata objects and how the utility handles the translation process.
