Thanks Audrey, I do not have any direct experience with Hyperion tools. It does sound like it could work. Once these tasks are performed then does this allow users to do ad hoc reporting, or do you have to create canned reports that users can then run, or both?
The Hyperion reporting tools look very cool on the web site, and TRW uses Hyperion products for some other applications, but I have no idea on costs. Can you provide any info on costs for Hyperion reporting tools? Thanks again, John >>> Audrey H Franklin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/6/2006 10:49 AM >>> John, About a year ago, we implemented the following Remedy objects into our data warehouse, to generate Hyperion 8 reports: [1] T800 table with HPD:HelpDesk View [2] T765 table with CHG:Change View We also report against ACD data, and I was successful in creating integrated Remedy/ACD reports for our Client Services Center. Since Remedy API is missing in the data warehouse, I had to perform the following tasks: [1] Identify all underlying tables, columns & views that we plan to report on. [2] Identify all data types associated with epoch time and then translate them in the view. [3] Identify Selection type fields, such as Status, where the database shows a number instead of a name like 'Assigned', and then translate them in the view. It was a fun project for me, I learned a lot about Remedy database structure. As a matter of fact we are still tweaking some things in the ACD tables, which is also good for me, since I used to implement ACDs. Remedy tables are updated every hour in the Data Warehouse, and we receive two data feeds of the ACD data each day. We plan to upgrade to Hyperion BI 9 in the near future. Hope this info is helpful to you.
