Oracle Corporation provides tutorials and samples to help you learn how to develop business intelligence applications using BI Beans. Tutorials walk you through the entire development process, step by step, while samples explore a particular functional area in greater detail or demonstrate more complex coding situations.
Samples must be downloaded from Oracle Technology Network (http://otn.oracle.com
).
You should check Oracle Technology Network often to obtain the latest samples.
If you have not already done so, then you must must perform several installation and configuration tasks before you can begin to work with the samples. For instructions, see Installing and Configuring the Samples.
Sample Scripts | Description |
---|---|
Demonstrates the best practice for using the BI Beans Catalog with the tools provided within JDeveloper and BI Beans |
|
Demonstrates how the BI Beans Catalog can be synchronized with external user communities such as LDAP |
|
Demonstrates how the BI Beans Catalog can be synchronized with external user communities such as a relational database |
Sample | Description |
---|---|
The "Hello World" for BI Beans Java-client applications. Demonstrates how a BI application connects to Oracle9i OLAP (the source of the business data for the application) and to the BI Beans Catalog (where object definitions, such as crosstabs and graphs, are saved). This sample is extended by the other Java-client samples. |
|
Demonstrates how QueryBuilder functionality can be used in different contexts. This sample explores the QueryBuilder methods that enable simplified access to QueryBuilder functionality. |
|
Explores the use of rules to specify custom formatting for a crosstab. This sample introduces different types of formatting, including the cell level formatting, currency format, header formats and data-driven stoplight format |
|
Demonstrates how to use the Dimension List bean components to alter the dimension values used in a query and how to apply the query to a presentation. |
|
Shows how to use the CalcBuilder to define a new calculation and insert it into a crosstab. Also shows how to insert a predefined calculation type into a crosstab using popup menus. |
|
Demonstrates how to link queries and selections between views (for example, crosstab, table and graph). |
|
Demonstrates how to generate a graph using the QueryBuilder and Graph format panels. |
|
Demonstrates how to create a custom wizard for end users to define new, data-aware crosstabs and graphs. |
|
Shows how an application can incorporate the BI Beans Print, Page Setup, and Preview dialogs to print crosstabs. |
|
Introduces a number of BI Beans Catalog features in an application, including the following:
|
|
Shows how to create two BI Beans Catalog connections and how to copy objects among multiple catalogs. |
|
Retrieving Metadata from Oracle9i OLAP and the BI Beans Catalog |
Demonstrates how a BI Beans application can retrieve metadata from a metadataManager that is connected to Oracle9i OLAP (the source of the business data for the application) and to the BI Beans Catalog (where object definitions, like crosstabs and graphs, are saved). |
Demonstrates how BI Beans can take advantage of Oracle9i OLAP to add forecasting capabilities to an application |

---|---|
The "Hello World" for BI Beans servlet applications. Demonstrates how a BI application connects to Oracle9i OLAP (the source of the business data for the application) and to the BI Beans Catalog (where object definitions, such as crosstabs and graphs, are saved). This sample is extended by other servlet samples. |
|
Shows how to link a crosstab and graph. Selection changes made to one presentation are reflected in the other. Uses the FindMember tool to enable navigation of large lists of dimension members that are displayed in the page controls. |
|
Demonstrates how to create a custom query tool that allows users to specify query conditions such as "Select Cities where Sales are in top 10." |
|
Demonstrates how to manage state for a BI Beans application, including support for the browser's Back button and for bookmark navigation. |
|
Shows how to use the BI Beans ViewToolbar to modify a data presentation. Displays the events that are fired when users interact with the application. |
|
Illustrates navigation among multiple pages in a BI Beans application, in this case, between two pages. The first page allows users to navigate the BI Beans Catalog directories and select a saved report. The second page opens the report so the user can analyze the data. |
|
Demonstrates how a BI Beans JSP application can be developed in a multi-frame environment. Uses the BI Beans JSP tags to build the application. |
|
Demonstrates how BI Beans can take advantage of Oracle9i OLAP to add forecasting capabilities to an application |
|
Demonstrates how to create a BI Beans application within the Struts framework |
|
Demonstrates how to create an integrated BI Beans and Portal application. |
