There are many options for providing SQL access over data in a Hadoop cluster, including proprietary vendor products such as Oracle Big Data SQL on the Oracle Big Data Appliance along with open-source technologies such as Apache Hive, Cloudera Impala and Apache Drill; customers are using those to provide reporting over their Hadoop and relational data platforms, and looking to add capabilities such as calculation engines, data integration and federation along with in-memory caching to create complete analytic platforms. In this session we'll look at the options that are available, compare database vendor solutions with their open-source alternative, and see how emerging vendors are going beyond simple SQL-on-Hadoop products to offer complete "data fabric" solutions that bring together old-world and new-world technologies and allow seamless offloading of archive data and compute work to lower-cost Hadoop platforms.
Gluent New World #02 - SQL-on-Hadoop : A bit of History, Current State-of-the...Mark Rittman
Hadoop and NoSQL platforms initially focused on Java developers and slow but massively-scalable MapReduce jobs as an alternative to high-end but limited-scale analytics RDBMS engines. Apache Hive opened-up Hadoop to non-programmers by adding a SQL query engine and relational-style metadata layered over raw HDFS storage, and since then open-source initiatives such as Hive Stinger, Cloudera Impala and Apache Drill along with proprietary solutions from closed-source vendors have extended SQL-on-Hadoop’s capabilities into areas such as low-latency ad-hoc queries, ACID-compliant transactions and schema-less data discovery – at massive scale and with compelling economics.
In this session we’ll focus on technical foundations around SQL-on-Hadoop, first reviewing the basic platform Apache Hive provides and then looking in more detail at how ad-hoc querying, ACID-compliant transactions and data discovery engines work along with more specialised underlying storage that each now work best with – and we’ll take a look to the future to see how SQL querying, data integration and analytics are likely to come together in the next five years to make Hadoop the default platform running mixed old-world/new-world analytics workloads.

What is Big Data Discovery, and how it complements traditional business anal...Mark Rittman
Data Discovery is an analysis technique that complements traditional business analytics, and enables users to combine, explore and analyse disparate datasets to spot opportunities and patterns that lie hidden within your data. Oracle Big Data discovery takes this idea and applies it to your unstructured and big data datasets, giving users a way to catalogue, join and then analyse all types of data across your organization.
In this session we'll look at Oracle Big Data Discovery and how it provides a "visual face" to your big data initatives, and how it complements and extends the work that you currently do using business analytics tools.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

existing “engineered systems” strategy
T : +44 (0) 8446 697 995 E : enquiries@rittmanmead.com W: www.rittmanmead.com
9. Integrating with External Identity Stores (OID, AD etc)
• OBIEE has a pluggable security system based around Oracle Fusion Middleware security
• Out of the box configuration stores users and groups in an embedded LDAP server
‣ Not designed for full production use, more to “get started”
• Usual strategy for enterprise customers is to connect OBIEE (via Fusion Middleware Security)
to a corporate LDAP server such as
‣ Microsoft Active Directory
‣ Oracle Internet Directory
• External directory can be “in addition” to the embedded
LDAP server, or completely replace it
• Multiple directories can be connected to OBIEE + FMW
for federated identity
• Often used in conjunction with SSO, SSL and other tools
‣ Oracle Access Manager
‣ Oracle Entitlements Server etc
T : +44 (0) 8446 697 995 E : enquiries@rittmanmead.com W: www.rittmanmead.com
10. How Does OBIEE 11g Connect to Active Directory, OID etc?
• Many Oracle and third-party security providers and directories are supported for OBIEE 11g
‣ See System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle BI EE 11g on OTN
‣ Note - not all directories supported by FMW11g are supported by OBIEE - check the list
• Recommended approach is to use WebLogic
+ OPSS to connect to the directory
‣ Init Blocks are deprecated and are a fall-back
if WLS not possible
- Unsupported directory
- Requirement to support legacy
ID management i.e. EBS
• Configured through WebLogic Administration Console,

11. Configuring Single Sign-On and SSL for OBIEE 11g
• SSO and SSL are both configured through Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control
‣ Or can be scripted through WLST + Oracle BI Systems Management API
• A number of Oracle and third-party SSO systems are supported
• Configures the BI Presentation Server to accept pre-authorised creds. from the SSO provider

12. Externalizing OBIEE 11g Content Outside the Organization
• Most organizations deploy on their internal network, for internal users behind the firewall
• But some may wish to deploy OBIEE 11g for external users
‣ Make the BI system available for internal users, but on the road (via Web, via VPN etc)
‣ Make parts of it available to customers, or other external users
‣ Embed parts of it in other applications, e.g. Oracle WebCenter Portal
‣ Provide access via Oracle BI Mobile using Apple iPads, iPhones
• Security has to be a consideration though, in these scenarios

13. Deploying Compromisable Web Components in the Firewall DMZ
• When deploying OBIEE 11g content outside the organization, the key is to place all externally-facing
servers into firewall DMZs (firewall web tier, firewall app tier)
‣ Relies on adding an additional HTTP server (typically OHS, with WebGate and mod_wl_ohs)
‣ Typically deployed as a load-balancing pair (or more) with a hardware load balancer
‣ If HTTP server is then compromised (hacked) it doesn’t provide access to data, other systems etc
• OBIEE components then optionally placed into
a firewall App Tier
‣ Separates them from the databases
‣ Or can just be located in the regular
internal network, with everything else

14. Securing Oracle BI Mobile
• Oracle BI Mobile supports SSL for connections, VPN via IOS settings
• However some enterprises will still now allow applications such as these
‣ Need the applications to be sandboxed, secured separate from the mobile device
• Now supported with OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 and the Oracle BI Mobile Security Toolkit
‣ Sample code available on OTN for Apple iPad
‣ Lightweight SDK for integrating with MDM vendor of choice
• Prebuilt solutions from Good Technologies, Bitzer etc
‣ Makes it possible to deploy BI Mobile even with
very strict mobile app security rules

15. Configuring OBIEE 11g for High-Availability and Failover
• OBIEE 11g can be configured for HA and failover in several ways
‣ Vertical scaleout (adding components to the existing server) for BI Server etc redundancy
‣ Horizontal scaleout to add additional servers to the
WebLogic cluster (requires additional WLS EE license)
‣ Adding secondary BI Scheduler and
BI Cluster Controller components
‣ Adding failover and filesystem clustering to
protect WLS Administration Server and install/config files
• Can also extend to the underlying
databases (repository schemas)
‣ Dataguard (log shipping) and RAC
(more scale-out than HA, but can allow
rolling DB patching)
• How much HA do you need though, what sort of trade-off?

16. What Can Go Wrong within an OBIEE 11g Infrastructure?
• System components can fail on a single server
‣ Can protect by adding more components to the same
server, or to a separate server (active/active failover)
‣ BI Scheduler and BI Cluster Controller components
are active/passive, need to add secondary instances
• WebLogic managed servers can fail
‣ If horizontally scaled-out, WLS clustering should
take care of the fail, restarting if possible
• Java components within a managed server can fail
‣ Again, WLS should take care of these
• WebLogic administration server can fail
‣ Users can still log in if LDAP virtualization enabled,
and an external LDAP provider is configured

17. OBIEE 11g Enterprise Deployment Guide Infrastructure
• Adds additional redundancy and failover for
mission-critical BI systems
• Deploys HTTP servers in a DMZ for security
• Multiple redundant installs of
WLS administration server
• WLS installation and configuration files
on a cluster filesystem
• Use of VIPs, VHosts and other standard
abstraction / virtualization techniques
• Ultimate in resilience, but complex to set up and
configure (though possible, and documented)

18. Monitoring and Systems Maintenance
• OBIEE 11g by default comes with two web-based consoles
• Oracle WebLogic Administration Console manages WebLogic, including the LDAP server and WLS servers
• Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control manages Fusion Middleware, including
Oracle Business Intelligence 11g
‣ Some overlap in functionality
‣ Only manages a single BI domain
‣ No advanced alerting or other EM features

19. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12cR2 BI Management Pack
• Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12cR2 is the “full” deployment of EM
• Monitors databases, application servers, many other infrastructure components
• Plug-ins for non-Oracle tools
• Now supports OBIEE, Essbase and BI Apps through
the BI Management Pack (extra license cost)
• Set alerts, monitor service levels,
monitor usage tracking etc
• Perform wider WLS / FMW activities such
as cloning domains, patching etc
• Also covers OBIA ETL elements, and
some Essbase metrics

20. Open-Source / Home-Grown Solutions : Nagios
• Free and/or open-source tools such as Nagios can be configured to monitor OBIEE functions
• Enterprise monitoring tools such as those by BMC can parse OBIEE’s ODL-format log files and raise alerts
• Other tools can monitor WebLogic
servers, restart them if needed
• Open-format logs plus standard
hooks into WLS and OPMN
functionality make most monitoring
possible with a bit of work
