Oracle Discoverer Vs SAP Business Objects
Semantic Layer Comparison
Feature in Discoverer’s EUL Equivalent to be tested in BO Universe
Usable relational structure in the EUL with
joins and complex folders
Load tables and views individually or use
"bulk load"
Compare BO different kinds of joins in BO.
Reduces End User Layer setup time; increases
design flexibility.
Define conditions with different operator
options (AND, Or , Not ) at EUL level
Check out with Filters in BO using different
operator options (AND, Or , Not ) at universe
level
Define formulas/conditions Check out for
different functions and there equivalence in
BO
Define formulas/Filters Check out for
different functions and there equivalence in
BO
Create Calculated Item Map it to Metrics(Measure) object in BO
Universe
Create logical grouping of items within a
business area
Improves ease-of-use for end users; provides
for corporate reporting standards.
Check it’s equivalence in Custom Grouping
at BO universe level For the grouping
according to customer need
Define join relationships based on
primary/foreign keys or matching column
names ( Automatic option. Manually option)
Check out with different kinds of joins in the
Designer Universe level
Reuses information stored in the data
dictionary; reduces administration overhead.
Define different hierarchies
Date hierarchies for all date items.(
Automatic option. Manually option)
Enables users traverse easily through date
structures without requiring additional work
by the database administrator
Check out similar hierarchies in BO designer
universe after migration
Enables users traverse easily through date
structures without requiring additional work
by the database administrator.
Define a list of values for items (Automatic
option. Manually option)
Enables users to easily create error-free inputs
for conditions; reduces administration
overhead.
Check out LOV in Designer we are able to
restrict some rows based on some conditions
to fetch LOV are same as LOV in discoverer

Define alternative sorting Like custom sorting option in BO.
Conventional sorting presents data in either
ascending or descending order. Use alternative
sorting to tailor how data is presented. For
example, sort data by days of the week, or
region, or season, or department.
Define hierarchies between items Test multiple levels of hierarchies between
objects in BO
Lets users easily navigate through the data, to
drill down for more detail, or drill up for more
summary information.
Define Hyperdrills Scenario for Customized Hierarchy in BO
Enables users to drill to information in terms
of how it is related, rather than through levels
in a hierarchy.
Automatically create and maintain summary
tables or use an external summary table
Aggregate view Table in BO
Enables users to quickly access data; reduces
administration overhead for maintaining
summary tables
Advanced features
Custom folders that support advanced SQL
syntax
Free hand SQL in BO XI R2 (at report level)
Command-line shortcuts; and use of PL/SQL
functions defined to meet the requirements of
your users.
Stored procedures , cursors in object
