The document outlines the implementation and customization of Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) applications for Oracle EBS, detailing the software requirements, installation procedures, and the architecture underlying BI solutions. It emphasizes the advantages of BI applications, such as providing prebuilt solutions for data analysis, efficient reporting, and integration with various data sources. Additionally, the document outlines the process for ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) operations and the steps for customizing reports while integrating BI applications with the EBS environment.

3. Introduction

4. The Evolving Role of Business Intelligence

5. BI ApplicationsBI Applications provide a unified infrastructure & setups for DW, OBIEE , BI Applications, Informatica & DAC

6. Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Applications are complete, prebuilt BI solutions (Dashboards & Reporting) with built-in best practices

7. BI Applications are configurable for a range of data sources with the prebuilt ETL mappings.

8. This provides for rapid deployment and lower TCO.

9. These solutions enable organizations to gain more insight for business optimization

10. BI Apps also deliver role-based intelligence throughout an organization.

12. BI Applications: Architecture

13. Domain: Financial AnalyticsProvides the ability to improve financial performance…Complete, up-to-the-minute information on expenses and revenue contributions.

14. Assess cash-management

15. Monitor operational effectiveness of the payables department to ensure the lowest transaction costs

16. Monitor DSOs and cash cycles to manage working capital

17. Manage financial performance across locations, customers, products, and territories

18. Identify the most profitable customers, products, and channels (80:20, Tiering, TopN’s)Analytic Workflows

19. Domain: Human Resource AnalyticsProvides the ability to improve overall workforce performance and managerialeffectiveness..Understand how compensation impacts performance

20. Assess HR performance against recruitment and retention goals

21. Understand drivers of employee turnover

22. Reduce time and cost of compliance reportingInstallation and Configuration

23. Required Software in order of Installation for BI Apps 7.9.6.2jdk 1.5 and higherDatabase10g R2 10.2.0.4 is certified11g R1 11.1.0.711gR2 11.2.0.1 OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 is the certified version OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0 can be used but not certifiedBI Applications 7.9.6.2Informatics 8.6.1Data Warehouse Administration Console (DAC 10.1.3.4.1)

25. OBIEE and BI Applications7.9.6.2BI Applications files are installed in the OBIEE file structure. During BI Apps installation you are required to choose the containers for the necessary subject areas.

26. Some of the important components it installs are:BI Applications repository Oracle BI Analytics Apps.rpdInformatics Repository Oracle_BI_DW_BaseSrc Files: This contains source files and Parameter filesLkp FilesDAC meta data files

27. Configurations for Informatics: PC 8.6.1 Hot Fix 10/11Informatics Repository Oracle_BI_DW_Base needs to be copied to power center/server/infa shared/backup directory and then restore the informatics repository.Src Files to the power center/server/infa_shared/SrcFiles

28. Lkp Files to the power center/server/infa_shared/LkpFilesConfiguration for DAC 10.1.3.4.1DAC uses pmcmd and pmrep commands to communicate with Informatics Power Center These files should be made available in the PC\Client\bin directory

29. DAC meta data files:

30. E:\OracleBI\dwrep\DAC_metadata\DAC_Client\export folder to dac\export & Delete Triggers.list to dac\confE:\OracleBI\dwrep\DAC_metadata\DAC_Server \parameterfileDW.txt parameterfileOLTP.txt to dac\informatics\parameters\inputThese are used to create the DAC repository tables and the DW tables.

34. Presentation CatalogUnzip Enterprise Business Analytics web catalog

35. Make the changes in Instanceconfig.xml to read this web catalog.This completes the software installation and configuration

36. Now you are ready to load OLTP data to your Data Warehouse.Perform an ETL using DAC

42. After the data load in the DW using DACBI Applications is ready to use!

43. BI Applications - Customizations

48. Requirements Gap Analysis Document

49. Summary of Customization Steps:The subject area you are working on.Create a requirements gap analysis document Identify source and target attributes for the custom report in question.If target attribute is not available then it needs o be loaded.Identify the source attribute table, KFF or DFF.Identify the folder for your SDE and SIL MappingsIdentify your target table/tables.Identify Mappings related to your table. Get the complete picture of all the source and target tables Identify if the additional column is available in one of the source table or new source tables need to be imported.
