In my last blog post, I discussed how I think that the way most people talk about BI and analytics is incorrect, how data is fluid, and some of the biggest issues I see when helping clients. I’m going to continue that discussion in this blog post, but pivot the conversation from what is wrong […]

Data, Data ScienceI had just gotten out of a discovery meeting with a client when she said “I’m sure we’re the worst you’ve seen”. The goal of the meeting was to better understand the process they were using, the data source, and how they were consuming that data. Turns out that data was entered into Share Point
That title sounds a little weird, tunnels go through the ground and clouds are those fluffy things that float in the sky. However when we are talking about Oracle Cloud and SSH tunneling things make a lot more sense. Although this blog is specific to the Oracle Cloud Database, tunneling is a generic technique and

Cloud, linux, Security, SSHI’ve had some fun working with StreamSets Data Collector lately and wanted to share how to quickly get up and running on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance and build a simple pipeline. For anyone unaware, StreamSets Data Collector is, in their own words, a low-latency ingest infrastructure tool that lets

AWS, StreamSetsRed Pill Analytics recently performed the installation of OBIEE 12c on an Exalytics machine for one of our customers. There is no option to use the Domain Management Utility for installing OBIEE 12c… that’s still only capable of installing OBIEE 11g.

Events, TipsLet’s pretend that you need to change ports within your OBIEE 12c instance due to new applications that natively install into ports that OBIEE is running. Or maybe you want to have the ports be the same as the OBIEE 11g ports. Whatever the reason, how do we go about changing the ports within the

OBIEE, Red Pill Analytics Tips, TipsOracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) is generally available (GA) today, and I’m excited to be included in this OAC blog hop welcome wagon. So I’m slumming it with a bunch of Essbase professionals, as you can see from the list of contributing authors below. It’s fascinating to see just how stoked the Essbase community is for

Analytics, BICS, Business Intelligence, Cloud, OBIEE, Oracle BICS, Oracle DVRecently I had to verify the version of an OBIEE installation for a client. As I was already ssh-ed into the Linux machine, I figured there was a way to determine the version without having to log into the presentation server. Turns out, I was right, but for thoroughness sake, I’ll cover both approaches. Using

OBIEE, Oracle 12c, TipsWe have seen recently how easily false narratives get picked up and repeated so many times that eventually it is believed as true. Perhaps this is an idea that was borrowed from cooking. Cooking has long been rife with traditions and ideas that have been passed down from generation to generation that while the original
