Mark Rittman

• I could talk about the dimensional modeling
  features in Paris (partic. the OLAP support), and
  the data cleansing / data profiling features.

7
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.

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

9
Gladson

• Client Performance, Schema Cutover, Status
  updates and etc

10
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.
