33. How you generally Approach to ur Analytics Project?
Answer:- Any project should start from defining the scope of the
project and the approach
should be not to deviate from the scope.
Then the project should be functionally divided into smaller
modules generally done by
project managers along with technical and functional leads.
The functional leads then decide on majorly three things:
1. According to the defined scope of the project they start
gathering requirements while interacting with the clients.
2. They had a discussion with the technical leads and try to
reach a solution.
3. Technical leads decides what schemas to create and
what requirements are going to fulfill by that schema.
Technical leads discuss all this with the developers and try to
close requirements.

34. How we are going to decide which schema we are going
to implement in the data warehouse?
Answer:- One way is what is mentioned in Question above.
If one ask you to blindly create schemas for the warehousewithout knowing any requirements,
You can simply first divide the schemas on the basis of
functional areas of an Organization which are similar to the
modules in an ERP like sales, finance, purchase, inventory,
production, HR etc.
You have to broadly describe the expected analysis an
organization would like to do in every module. This way you
would be able to complete at least 40-50 % of the requirements.
To move ahead, study the data and business and you cancreate few more schemas.
35. What are the Challenges You Faced while making of
Reports?
Answer:- Making of an report has never been a difficult task.
But problem comes when users are reluctant to adopt a new
system. Many developers have experienced that if they are not
able to create the report in exactly the way they used to see,
they will keep asking for the changes. Developers approach
should be to first show them what they want to see and then
add more information in the report.

Answer:- This is the biggest problem in report creation and
verification. There could be two reasons for report not fetching
the right data.
1. Mostly clients do not have correct data in their database and
on top of that to correct the results they make some changes at
the report level to bring the desired result which you may not e
aware of while creating the reports. Clients try to match the data
with their existing reports and you never get the correct results.you try to discover the things and at later stage come to know of
all these problems and you are held responsible for this delay.
Hence always consult the SPOC(Single Point of Contact) and
try to understand the logic they have used to generate their
reports.
2. If the database values are correct, there there could be a
problem with the joins and relations in the schema. You need to
discover that analyzing and digging deep into the matter.
37. How analytics Process Your Request When you Create
your Requests?
Answer:- Oracle BI server converts the logical SQL submitted
by the client into optimised physical SQL which is then sent to
the backend database. Also in between it performs various
tasks like converting the user operations like user selections to
form a logical SQL, checking and verifying credentials, breaking
the request into threads(as Oracle BI is a multi threaded server),
processes the requests, manages the cached results, again
converting the results received from the database into user
presentable form etc.
