Obiee 12C and the Leap Forward in Lifecycle ManagementStewart Bryson
One reason that OBIEE projects regularly languish between design and delivery is the product's historical lack of concrete lifecycle and deployment capabilities. Whether adopting manual lifecycle processes, or scripting complex deployments, these solutions usually yield mixed results, but always highlight one clear conclusion: we need change.
With the newest release of OBIEE 12c, change has finally arrived. This session will detail the new BI Application Archive (BAR) file and it's role in smoother migrations and increased developer productivity. We'll take a peak under the covers at a new flexible, container-like architecture that makes the creation and application of these BAR files simple, but also provides enhanced lifecycle capabilities throughout.

Modern Data Warehousing with the Microsoft Analytics Platform SystemJames Serra
The traditional data warehouse has served us well for many years, but new trends are causing it to break in four different ways: data growth, fast query expectations from users, non-relational/unstructured data, and cloud-born data. How can you prevent this from happening? Enter the modern data warehouse, which is able to handle and excel with these new trends. It handles all types of data (Hadoop), provides a way to easily interface with all these types of data (PolyBase), and can handle “big data” and provide fast queries. Is there one appliance that can support this modern data warehouse? Yes! It is the Analytics Platform System (APS) from Microsoft (formally called Parallel Data Warehouse or PDW) , which is a Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) appliance that has been recently updated (v2 AU1). In this session I will dig into the details of the modern data warehouse and APS. I will give an overview of the APS hardware and software architecture, identify what makes APS different, and demonstrate the increased performance. In addition I will discuss how Hadoop, HDInsight, and PolyBase fit into this new modern data warehouse.

Building a Turbo-fast Data Warehousing Platform with DatabricksDatabricks
Traditionally, data warehouse platforms have been perceived as cost prohibitive, challenging to maintain and complex to scale. The combination of Apache Spark and Spark SQL – running on AWS – provides a fast, simple, and scalable way to build a new generation of data warehouses that revolutionizes how data scientists and engineers analyze their data sets.
In this webinar you will learn how Databricks - a fully managed Spark platform hosted on AWS - integrates with variety of different AWS services, Amazon S3, Kinesis, and VPC. We’ll also show you how to build your own data warehousing platform in very short amount of time and how to integrate it with other tools such as Spark’s machine learning library and Spark streaming for real-time processing of your data.
Reaching scale limits on a Hadoop platform: issues and errors created by spee...DataWorks Summit
Santander UK’s Big Data journey began in 2014, using Hadoop to make the most of our data and generate value for customers. Within 9 months, we created a highly available real-time customer facing application for customer analytics. We currently have 500 different people doing their own analysis and projects with this data, spanning a total of 50 different use cases. This data, (consisting of over 40 million customer records with billions of transactions), provides our business new insights that were inaccessible before.
Our business moves quickly, with several products and 20 use cases currently in production. We currently have a customer data lake and a technical data lake. Having a platform with very different workloads has proven to be challenging.
Our success in generating value created such growth in terms of data, use cases, analysts and usage patterns that 3 years later we find issues with scalability in HDFS, Hive metastore and Hadoop operations and challenges with highly available architectures with Hbase, Flume and Kafka. Going forward we are exploring alternative architectures including a hybrid cloud model, and moving towards streaming.
Our goal with this session is to assist people in the early part of their journey by building a solid foundation. We hope that others can benefit from us sharing our experiences and lessons learned during our journey.

Enkitec E4 Barcelona : SQL and Data Integration Futures on Hadoop : Mark Rittman
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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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).

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

The Long-Standing Opportunity (and Threat?) from OBI / Essbase Integration
•From the point that Oracle acquired Hyperion, the
talk was always around integrating EPM and OBIEE
•Seen by many as an opportunity
‣ Swap-out old Brio/Hyperion web tools for OBIEE
‣ Make Essbase data available to a wider audience
‣ Deliver world-class reporting tools able to
access both relational, and OLAP data source
•But also as a risk or threat
‣ Make Essbase relational (e.g. Oracle OLAP)
‣ Dumb-down the Hyperion tools
‣ Oracle gets side-tracked into infrastructure work
‣ Lose whats good about Essbase, Planning etc
•So how’s it gone, and where are we now?

High-Level Integration Goals (and for All Oracle’s BI Platform Integration)
•Make Essbase available as a data source for OBIEE, and vice-versa
‣ Also applies to Endeca Information Discovery, TimesTen etc
•Make Essbase an option for OBIEE aggregate persistence
‣ Speed up ad-hoc reporting,
‣ Support agile BI development
‣ Maximise the value in a customer’s Oracle BI deployment
•Deploy Essbase alongside OBIEE as part of the BI product install
‣ Do all the product wiring, resolve security etc differences
‣ Make Essbase use as seamless as possible for BI developers / users
•Preserve the benefits of standalone Oracle EPM Suite
‣ Recognize that most users of Essbase use it for Planning etc
‣ Support running EPM in two modes; as part of BI, or as EPM Suite

Essbase and OBIEE Data Source Integration
•The first widely-used example of OBIEE / Essbase Integration
•Oracle BI EE’s BI Server can connect to Essbase and use as data source
‣ Generates MDX queries, translates to/from OBIEE’s relational model
‣ Ability to call-out to specific MDX functions if required; access to aliases and other Essbase oddities
‣ “It’s been a journey” - initially underwheming, much better now, but still with some issues
•OBIEE as a data source for Essbase, via Studio
‣ Leverage OBIEE data integration + metadata
•Support for HFM as a data source, but not Planning
•Works well, but suits Essbase best when in a
sales analysis / star-schema context
‣ But a great way to get Essbase data to
a wider, dashboard-style audience

•Developer/Administrator selects slice of business model to aggregate
•Aggregate Persistence Wizard then creates a logical SQL script, processed by BI Server using nqcmd
•BI Server uses Essbase Studio dmaservlet to create ASO outline, and rules file

Aggregate Persistence Benefits & Limitations
•It worked! (sort of)
•OBIEE developers had the choice of Essbase ASO, or relational storage, for their aggregates
•Transparent to the developer and end-user: BI Server and Essbase Studio took care of the details
•But ... it was a strange way to create an Essbase cube
‣ Separate ASO database per aggregate
‣ Rather than one ASO database for entire OBIEE cube
‣ Also restricted Essbase (in this install type) to
just this use, hard-wired to OBIEE using a single user
‣ More of a PoC than a full feature

The First Integration of Essbase into the OBIEE Tech Stack
•What was more interesting, was how Oracle integrated Essbase into the OBIEE tech stack
•OBIEE 11.1.1.6, and the 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 bundle patch, included Essbase + administration
tools as part of the install bundle, but these were not by default enabled
•Needed to be patched to 11.1.1.6.2 BP1, then installed using options in a response file

•Adds an enterprise-class OLAP server to the stack, deeply integrated
•Essbase is supporting BI; elsewhere, in EPM Suite, it runs the show alone
•All integration work in this context is about making BI run better,
not replacing Essbase-specific tools or removing EPM Suite

Integration of Essbase with Fusion Middleware (OBIEE) Security
•Essbase security in this context is aligned with FMW security
‣ Application roles and policies, use of WLS LDAP server vs. Essbase Native / HSS
‣ Extensible via WebLogic providers / OPSS
•Fusion Middleware Control used for almost all Essbase security tasks
‣ Data and Metadata filters still defined using EAS,
provisioned using EM using application policies
•Shared Services still exists for EPM Suite, but cannot be
used to integrate with OBIEE in the same way as this

Summary
•Essbase integration with OBIEE has come a long way since the Hyperion acquisition
•Use-cases have crystallized around Essbase providing the OLAP server for OBIEE
•Has required changes (or alternatives) to how Essbase security works, to align with OBIEE
•Progress also made on having Essbase work as an automated data mart engine for OBIEE
•EPM Workspace is back, but really in the context of BI - not full Planning etc integration
•Starting to deliver now on the promise of Essbase taking OBIEE to the next level
•Perfect complement to Exalytics - in-memory ROLAP/OLAP with low TCO
