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.

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"

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?

Thank you much,
Patrick.
