Oracle Workspace Manager What-If Analysis

These three samples illustrate how Workspace Manager can create variations on a common dataset to evaluate choices and determine the best alternative.   A separate workspace is created for each choice, changes are made to the data and analyzed without affecting the production data. The best choice can be merged with the production data.

Workspace Manager provides a transactionally consistent view of all the data in the database. This means a user in a workspace sees the latest version of any data changed in the workspace as well as unchanged data in parent workspace(s). Users outside the workspace do not see the changed data until it is merged with the production data..
