Oracle Discoverer has long reached its end of life. With new modern data visualization tools exceeding the capabilities of legacy Oracle Discoverer, now is the perfect time to be exploring a platform migration initiative.
How can this impact your business? The traditional way of building ad-hoc reports has fallen out of favor in place of self-service reporting that allows users to create reports and dashboards from multiple devices without requiring involvement from IT. Having access to better tools to track metrics that matter most to your operations is critical for business competitive advantage.
ennVee’s proprietary tool, ennSight, allows organizations to automatically identify all Discoverer reports and automate the migration to a broad range of modern platforms.
Watch how our Oracle Discoverer Migration Tool, ennSight, automates the extraction and migration process.
In some cases, you may already know how many reports you own and which ones you want to migrate. Although, most of the time, the actual number of reports is much higher.
We run ennSight to identify every Discoverer report in the system, including any duplicates, triplicates, outdated, or obsolete reports. ennSight builds a list of each report by name, number of workbooks and worksheets, files, folders, who owns the report, the last time the report was run, and the time and effort required to migrate and test each report.
The Discoverer assessment concludes with our creation of a migration roadmap and project plan, which includes scope, conversion timelines, and fixed-bid pricing to migrate to your platform of choice.
ennSight automatically extracts the following elements and objects from Discoverer:
|
Reports |
Classes |
|
Infrastructure |
Hierarchies |
|
Folders |
Roles |
|
Calculations |
Security |
|
Filters |
Report Owner Information |
|
Conditions |
Business Rules |
|
Joins |
Workbooks and Worksheets |
The extracted Discoverer SQL is migrated into the target platform of choice. No visual enhancements are made to the reports prior to migration. The migrated report will look the same as the Discoverer report. The reason we migrate the reports "as-is" is to avoid any potential errors and speed up the process. Additional enhancements can be made once the reports are successfully migrated and deployed to Production. (In some cases, you may just want to see the same tabular layout that exists in Discoverer).
After the business users have unit tested each report, we deploy the reports to Production and provide support for a 2-week period.
The Discoverer to Power BI migration path is the least intensive in terms of cost, time, and resources. In many cases, we have helped clients migrate from Discoverer to Power BI in conjunction with an internal Windows OS, desktop, hardware upgrade, or Office365 migration project. These initiatives can be executed simultaneously without exceeding the budget or requiring a significant commitment from client resources.
