What is the over/under on Discoverer or Cobol disappearing first? Of course Niall is spot on in what he has written. The pricing model for OBIEE has a lot of my customers worried and looking at alternatives, and I really haven't figured out Fusion MiddleWare deployment costs yet. mwf From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Niall Litchfield Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2011 12:43 PM To: po04541@xxxxxxxxx Cc: oracle_l Subject: Re: Is Oracle Discoverer going away? I think the last official word on this is at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/overview/discov erer-sod-jan2009-132849.pdf . My reading of the doc is "No discoverer isn't going away - we have too many customers on it - but we will migrate it to FMW and there may or may not be different ways of licensing it in the future" On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 3:21 PM, patrick obrien <po04541@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Good day Oracle Cronies, I rumor going around is that Discoverer is going away. I can see IAS being replaced/upgraded and renamed but not Discoverer. Has anybody heard about where Discoverer's life cycle is heading?
