You need the Oracle9iAS EE for deploying Dicoverer to the users. Very easy, because you only needs a web browsers and the Dicoverer Services runs on the Application Server. Its cool, because of the 3-Tier Architecture the traffic through the network is low and what kind of end user machine is unimportant (pc, labtop, palm) and with 9ias wireless you can reach handys too. :-))
>>3. Oracle Internet developer suite including Discoverer Administration
Well, for the designing the enduser layers for the users, you need the Discovrer Admin Edition for designing it.
So the point is:
- You need an Internet Developer Suite and
- Oracle9i Application Server EE for the Discovrer Services. The cool
thing is, that all other Business Intelligence Stuff is included here
like Reports, Portal als a zentralized point for information.
The Oracle Discoverer Desktop Edition is not very interested, only when you havenīt the possibility to use a Web browser. The cost per user is much higher then a 9iAS and for the end user you need windows.
