Changing WebLogic Server Deployment Order using MBeans

This post is brought about from some new development on the BITeamwork Collaborative BI solution where one customer had an issue with a delay in the Oracle BI start up supposedly from BITeamwork being deployed as an application with the WebLogic Server default Deployment Order value of 100. This was a valid concern since BITeamwork seeks to call the /analytics JEE application's web services when it starts in order to assess if OBIEE Presentation Services is actually started.

BITeamwork 1.9 Released (Babbage)

BITeamwork is now certified to work with Oracle BI 11g 11.1.1.7.0.  I should lead with that statement in the title but it is such a delight to see the Oracle Collaborative BI solution perfectly integrated into the latest release of the best-in-class Enterprise Business Intelligence tool, OBIEE.

Review of Lyndsay Wise’s Book – Using OS Platforms for BI

So, when I got my hands on a copy of Lyndsay Wise's book (admittedly months ago, but just now having the time this last month to read it), Using Open Source Platforms for Business Intelligence, I was actually impressed that someone would take the time to write a book combining two of my favorite things: OSS and BI.

I had a fleeting thought that the book might be full of fluff as the topic itself is fairly straightforward (at least to me) and there wouldn't be a way to write enough content without getting product specific or technical. I was wrong, of course, after thumbing through the index and several chapters.

Understanding Social and Collaborative Business Intelligence – Part 2

As you read in the first part (Part 1, Part 2) of this short series on Understanding Social and Collaborative Business Intelligence the idea of working as a team to make better decisions for an organization is not a new concept, merely the vehicle for that process has evolved.

Furthermore, the idea of incorporating an Enterprise Social Network (ESN) into an organization's infrastructure and daily activity will soon become common place.

WebLogic Log Repeats OpenJPA will not be used – Solution

WebLogic Server is probably one of the best JEE Application Servers on the market but it is not without its quirks. BITeamwork utilizes JPA technology to interface the application against the database metadata repository it communicates with to store its comments, annotations, and other collaborative BI information. When deployed to WLS (problem doesn't exist when deployed to IBM Websphere) the WLS standard out (stdout) log for the Managed Server in which it is deployed constantly prints the following log message:
