What is Business Intelligence ?

Introduction to Oracle Business Intelligence
Applications
Key benefits of Oracle Business Intelligence
Applications
Business Intelligence is a platform which provides
processes, technologies and tools to change data
into information, information into knowledge and
knowledge into plans that guide organization
Technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing and
providing access to critical data helps enterprise
users to make better business decisions
It guides organizations away from pitfalls towards growth and
development
Need of the hour

Every business requires an Integrated Business
Intelligence platform which,
Unifies intelligence from business transactions in diverse
applications and systems
Drives business performance improvement using better
strategy, better plans, better decisions, better results with
less cost & complexity
However, Building BI Solutions is Challenging

Develop detailed understanding of operational data sources
Design a data warehouse by subject area
License an ETL tool to move data from operational systems
to this DW
Build ETL programs for every data source
License interactive user access tools
Research/understand analytic needs of each user community
These steps require

multiple different BI
and DW technology
INVESTMENTS
These steps require IT

or BI staff resources
with specialized
SKILLS
Build analytics for each audience

License/create information delivery tools
Set up user security & visibility rules
Perform QA & performance testing
Manage on-going changes/upgrades
These steps take TIME

to understand and
perfect as knowledge
of best practices is
learned

tools, data schemas, business views, and predefined reports and
dashboards that significantly accelerate the time it takes to get a BI
solution up and running
Robust packaged analytic applications leverages the leading business
practices in market, delivering profound business values and benefits to
enterprise users.
What Gartner is Saying
Through 2009 there will be a swing toward buying

pre-packaged analytic applications(0.7 probability)

Tasks: Build Image

The Build Image flag invokes the change capture
process for the base source tables listed for the task
in Siebel CRM containers.
Change capture is an internal DAC task that
populates image tables of the corresponding base
source tables.
Tasks: Build Image

The Build Image flag invokes the change capture processes both
Primary and Auxiliary source tables.
Primary: Primary source of data; track change in a single table
Auxiliary: Secondary source of data; track change in more than one
table
Image Suffix is 137

for S2_ADDR_ORG
Tasks: Build Image

All Primary or Auxiliary table sources in the Siebel
database are assigned an Image Suffix to assist with
the change capture process.
For example, S_ETL_R_IMG_73, S_ETL_I_IMG_73,
and S_ETL_D_IMG_73 are the image tables for the
S_INVOICE base source table.
Tasks: Phase Dependency Tab

Task Phase Dependency allows you to change the task
execution order.
It manages three properties:
Action - The action to be taken in relation to the phase
dependency
Wait: Wait for tasks of a specified phase to complete.
Block: Block all tasks of a specified phase from execution
until the specified task has been executed.
Grain
For blocks, specifies whether the block affects all tasks of the
specified phase or related tasks for the specified task
All: Action affects all tasks.
Related: Indicates the action will affect only related tasks
Phase
The phase that applies to the action

Extension tables
Staging tables
Dimension Staging tables
Fact Staging tables
Data Warehouse table naming

Convention
Naming Convention for Data warehouse
All table names are prefixed with W_*(W for data warehouse)
Tables used as dimensions are suffixed with _D
Tables used as dimension hierarchies are suffixed with _DH
Tables used as mini dimension are suffixed with _MD
Tables used as facts are suffixed with _F
Tables used as aggregates are suffixed with _A
Tables used as extensions are suffixed with _dwx
Tables used as dimension staging are suffixed with _DS
Tables used as fact staging are suffixed with _FS
Fact/Dimension Tables Structure

Fact/Dimension Tables together creates Star Schema
Each table has following set of columns
INTEGRATION_ID - Unique identifier

DATASOURCE_NUM_ID - Identifier for OLTP source
ROW_WID - Surrogated Key
ETL_PROC_WID ETL Process Used
In each Dimension table

ROW_WID is a numeric column used to join to fact tables
In some cases, the ROW_WID is shared between the
dimension and dimension hierarchy tables
ROW_WID value of zero is reserved for unspecified
combination of natural keys in fact tables of natural keys in
fact tables

Type of Facts
Types of Fact Tables

In BIA most vital Information is the Facts
e.g. Sales Order Lines, Sales Cycle Lines, etc.
Types of Fact Tables
Transactional Facts
Snapshot Facts
Cycle Lines Facts
State Transition Facts
Aggregate Facts
Transactional Facts
Mirror of transactional data from the source
Usually Transferred with any
transformation/aggregation
Do exist is same form inside OLTP application
Useful in Data Reconciliation with OLTP
Lowest atomic grain of each transactional record
Useful with Business Transaction Id (natural
key)
E.g. Employee Events Fact, Order Lines Fact
Snapshot Facts
Snapshot of balances across time
Please note Time is most important dimension to replace
Useful Information which often get overwritten in EBS

Many snapshots over time(series) draw trends over
time
Mostly is related to monetary/material information
For which Balance represents valuable information
E.g. Employee Daily Snapshot, Inventory & Account

Balances, AR and AP aging snapshots & Opportunity
Pipeline
Cycle Lines Facts

Typically store process cycle times
Total Time to finish a business cycle for One Transaction
example Total Time to accomplish given Order
Average time to finish a business cycle for One Process
example Average Time to fulfill all Orders
Used to monitor performance of Business Cycles
Derived from multiple fact tables

E.g. Sales Order Cycle Lines, Purchase Cycle Lines
State Transition Facts

Required for specialized transition count metrics
Count of number of entities
In a given state at given time
Have changed states
Example Added/Deleted Customers today
Usually a Count of a Business Entity
Aggregate Facts
Build using Aggregation of Transactional facts
Aggregation is done over different levels of
Dimension
Monthly/Yearly/Quarterly
Using Different aggregation operators
Example Sum/Min/Max
Customizable by changing Aggregation
Operator/Level
Performance enhancement on key metrics
E.g. Payroll Aggregate (out of box monthly, but
configurable to other grains)

BI Apps Customization Agenda

Introduction to customizations.
Reports and ETL customizations.
Introduction to customization
Customization
Process by which the BIA Warehouse that may
include tables,columns,transform and load (ETLmappings) and such other components are modified
to accommodate new data for analysis or cater to
additional business requirements.
Reasons for customizations

Transactional Applications Modifications
BI Applications Extensions
Transactional Application Modifications

User Interface
Data Model Extensions
New entities (business components)
Different relationships between components
Modified visibility rules
Different authorization/authentication
BI Applications Extensions
Different reporting requirements (dashboards,
navigation, requests)
New KPIs or reporting entities based on existing ones
Different hierarchies
Change data capture logic
New facts and/or dimensions (unsupported functionality)
Additional source systems or data warehouses
Typical Effort & Customization balance

Dashboards & Reports
OBIEE Metadata
DW Schema
ETL
Easy
Moderate
Additional dashboards and

reports, guided and conditional
navigations, iBots, etc.
Additional derived metrics,
custom drill paths, exposing
extensions in physical, logical
and presentation layer, etc.
Intermediate
Involved
Degree of
Customization
Level of
Effort
Extension of DW Schema for

extension columns, additional
tables, external sources,
aggregates, indices, etc.
Extension of ETL for
extension columns,
descriptive flex fields,
additional tables, external
sources, etc.
Reports and ETL Customization
BI EE Dashboard Customization
Easiest and Most frequently done customization
Done for minor format change to addition of new
dashboards
Dashboard/Answers Request created modified
For Look and Feel
For new report/content from existing/newly added BI
EE metadata
For accommodating changes made inside Data
Warehouse
Its not necessary to change in BI EE Metadata/Data
Warehouse
Example:BI EE Dashboard Customization
BI EE Metadata Customization
Done inside BI EE Metadata Repository
BI EE fact columns are made up of
Base Measures
Those which do not involve any calculation
Derived Measures
Build by calculations of derived measures
Customization is done to create/alter new derived measure
Incase we have required base measures present
Customization is also done incase we need to change
Data Warehouse
Example:BI EE Metadata Customization
ETL Customization
ETL customization can be done for Extracting the additional rows from source.
Addition of new columns.
Addition of new dimensions,facts.
Customization Scenarios
Type 1 Meant to add additional columns from
source systems.
Type 2 - In this type of customization, we use
prepackaged adapters to add new fact or dimension
tables to the data warehouse. These type of
customizations normally require that we build new
SDE and SIL mappings.
Type 3 Here we use the Universal adapter to load
data from sources that do not have pre-packaged
adapters.
Customization Scenarios
Type I Customization:Adding columns to

Existing Tables
Type I customizations involve extracting additional
columns from source systems that are already
mapped (for example, Siebel or Oracle) and loading
the data into existing data warehouse tables.
Example
Type I Customization:Extending
Mappings
Existing mappings and tables are extensible.
Sample placeholders demonstrate how to pass and
store additional data.
Oracle BI Applications provides a methodology to
extend pre-configured mappings to include additional
columns and load the data into existing tables.
Always copy OOTB mappings first into a custom
folder and modify existing logic or columns in the
custom mappings.
Type I Customization: Safe Path

Most mappings have a single placeholder column, named
X_CUSTOM, that marks a safe path through the mapping.
All extension logic should follow the same route through
the mapping as X_CUSTOM. You can add additional
transformations to the mapping, but they should follow the
same route through the mapping as X_CUSTOM. The
graphic shows the pre-configured logic in grey. You should
not modify anything contained within these objects. You
should add customizations to the existing mapping, which
allows them to run parallel to the existing logic.
Preconfigured Source
Preconfigured Logic
Preconfigured Target
Extension
Extension Logic
Extension Target
Type I Customization:
Impact of Customization on Upgrade
If the mapping does not change during an upgrade
then all extensions are retained.
If the mapping experiences changes to the
encapsulated logic then all extensions are retained.
Extensions to the exposed objects are retained.
Type I Customization: Points to

Remember
Encapsulated objects must never be customized unless
directed by Oracle.
Exposed objects can be extended but must never be
otherwise be modified.
Minimize the number of changes to exposed objects by
using custom objects.
Custom objects are never changed during an upgrade.
Custom object approach is the preferred approach if ETL
time is acceptable.
Type I Customization: Typical Steps to

Extend Mappings
Copy the appropriate mappings to a
custom Informatica folder.
Extend the source and target tables
by making changes to the tables in
the database.
Extend the Source Dependent
Extraction (SDE) and the Source
Independent Load (SIL) mappings by
bringing in the additional columns.
Copy the appropriate workflows to
the custom Informatica folder.
Update the Data Warehouse
Administration Console (DAC) with
the necessary changes.
Type II Customization: Adding

Additional Tables
SDE-Mapping
Use pre-packaged
adaptors to add new fact
or dimension tables to
datawarehouse.
SIL-Mapping
Build new SDE and SIL
mappings.
Type II Customization: Considerations

Use required system columns.
Register tables and indices in the DAC.
Register new tasks for Informatica workflows, assemble
subject areas and build execution plans in the DAC.
Use the naming convention: WC_TABLENAME_<table
type>
Type II Customization: Required Columns

Staging tables : INTEGRATION_ID, DATASOURCE_NUM_ID.
Fact, dimension and extension tables: INTEGRATION_ID,
DATASOURCE_NUM_ID, ROW_WID, ETL_PROC_WID
INTEGRATION_ID
Stores the unique identifier of a

record as in source table.
DATASOURCE_NUM_ID
Stores the data source from which

data is extracted.Ex:Siebel OLTP =
1.
ROW_WID
Sequence number generated

during ETL process,unique
identifier for tables.
ETL_PROC_WID
Stores the ID of the ETL process

information,details of ETL process
are stored in S_ETL_RUN in OLTP
and W_ETL_RUN in the
warehouse.
Type II Customization: Custom Folders

Create custom SDE and SIL folders in Informatica and
make changes in them.
Do not change objects in shipped folders.
Copy existing objects from the shipped folders into the
corresponding custom folders.
Reuse existing business components, source and
target definitions,transformations,mapplets and
mappings.
Type II Customization: Custom Workflows

Create custom workflows for all customized mappings.
Each workflow should load only one table.
The workflow name should match a session name that
is used inside the workflow.
Set the appropriate source and target connection
values in Informatica Designer.
Register workflows in the DAC.
Additional Customization Considerations
Table definitions in Informatica.

Update Strategy
ETL process
Truncating target tables
ETL_PROC_WID
DATASOURCE_NUM_ID
Creating Indices
Naming Conventions
Configuring the DAC
Truncating Target Tables

Truncating should be done through the DAC.
A single DAC task has one placeholder for a full load,
and one for an incremental load.

Creating Indices
Staging tables typically do not require indices.
Create indices on all columns that the ETL uses for
dimensions and facts.
Define indices to improve query performance.
Register new indices in the DAC.

Presenters Title
BI Apps Integration with EBS Agenda

Objectives
Needs and Advantages of Integration
Accessing EBS reports from BI Apps
Accessing BI Apps from EBS
Other methods for Integration
Needs and Advantages of

Integration

BIA and EBS are two different and complementary
applications
BIA contains Aggregated Information till last update
EBS contains up to moment transactional

Information
Often users need integration to facilitate:

1. Lineage(Source) of Information in BIA
Tracking the BIA data to transaction data
2. Avoid (re)storing them in BIA Data Warehouse
3. BIA reports from EBS at time of Business Transaction
Application can be Integrated with BIA

Following business applications can be integrated
Oracle EBS with version different versions
Oracle Siebel Applications
Oracle People soft Applications
Oracle SOA suite applications can be integrated
Oracle Web Center
Oracle BPEL Process Manager
Accessing BI Application
From EBS
Accessing BI Dashboards from EBS

To access BIA from EBS helps EBS users access BIA
without login
On login user can access either answers or dashboard
In case dashboard then it will be users default dashboard
Inside EBS the steps are as follows
Step1 User needs to login as System Administrator Responsibility
Step 2 New user function need to be created with Type = SSWA jsp
Step 3 In this function HTML call need to be defined for Answers or

Dashboard
Step 4 After function we need to create a menu and assign the

above Menu to a Responsibility
Step 5 Responsibility need to be assigned to User
Step 6 Assign a Profile for Responsibility with URL of the OBI EE

BI Integrated with EBS
Embed links to Dashboards and

Answers in EBS
EBS Configuration High Level Steps
Create a form function, using the type SSWA jsp
function and a html call
Create a menu
Assign function to menu
Associate menu to a responsibility
Assign responsibility to user
Set profile for responsibility
Create Function and assign to Menus

& Responsibilities
Logon to your EBS environment
Select responsibility System
Administrator from the responsibility
navigator (left) pane
After you select the responsibility from
the left pane, the available
menus are shown in the right pane
4. Using these menus create the
following:
a. Function
b. Menu
c. Responsibility
d. User
e. Profile
Create the Function

From the Application menu, choose Function.
Give your function a name, User Function Name and
Description and save your changes.
Create the Function(contd)

In the Function properties tab ,enter value
Type= SSWA jsp function
Create the Function(contd)

In the Web HTML tab, enter
HTML Call=OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Answers
For linking to the dashboard use function=Dashboard)
Create the Menu

Start by selecting Menu under Application
Create the Menu (contd)

Create a new Standard menu and give it a Name and
User Name. In Function enter the name of the
Function created in the previous step
Assign to Responsibility
Choose the application that you are creating the
Menu for and for Responsibility Key define any unique
value as shown. This key is used at the Oracle BIEE
end because of its uniqueness

Accessing EBS from

BI Application
Action link
Action Link is Oracle BI EE RPD Column
Exposed as valid HTTP URL
Which changes from application to application
Generated inside external applications example EBS
Action links enable end users to drill
At run time to EBS with correct parameter value
The linking take place seamlessly
While drilling users need not login again to fetch URL

Drilling from BIA Reports to EBS

The process of Integration is as follows
Step 1 Identify the BIA report to be Integrated
Step 2 Identify EBS report that will be integrated.
Step 3 Ensure that SSO is enabled
Step 4 Configure BI EE RPD for EBS Context
Step 5 Action link Configuration-BI EE Repository
Step 6 Create SQL to Generate the Action Link
Step 7 Configure BI EE Presentation Service
Step 8 Configure Action Link in Answers report
Configure BI EE RPD for EBS Context

To connect Oracle EBS
following needed inside
connection pool of Oracle EBS
OLTP database in physical layer
Super user ID and
password
Below text in Execute on
Connect field call /* value

Step1 : In physical layer as an Opaque view which
contains two columns
Transactional key
URL
Step 2: Definition of above Opaque view (SQL)
Depends on source application and its version as
well
The view does not contain Security Credentials
Action link Configuration-BI EE Repository

Step 3: View need be joined to the Physical and
Logical tables
Using an appropriate natural key of transactional system
Step 4: Action link column must be exposed in

presentation layer

Action link Configuration View Definition

Basis of Action Link is a function that generates URL
FND_RUN_FUNCTION.GET_RUN_FUNCTION_URL()
Having parameters as follows
p_function_id is function_id of the page that you want to navigate to
p_resp_appl_id is Application Id of EBS
p_resp_id is responsibility id of EBS
p_security_group_id is group id of user in EBS
p_parameters (optional)-if the page navigating to accepts

parameters
If yes then query string parameters are inserted
Action Links need Transaction id example Order Id
Action link Configuration View Example

SELECT
HEADER_ID,
fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url(
CAST(fnd_function.get_function_id('ISC_ORDINF_DETAILS_PMV')AS
NUMBER),
CAST(VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.OLTP_EBS_RESP_APPL_ID)AS

BI Apps Security Agenda

Objectives
Security How and Why
Security Infrastructure
Levels of Security
User Security
Object Level Security
Data Level Security
Security Why we need

BIA displays most critical information
Without securing data it will be misused by
unauthorized
BIA displays data at different levels of Organization
No individual should view data above designated level
of responsibility
BIA displays 360* of Business Organization
No individual should view data beyond his/her area of
responsibility
EBS has Options to Configure User Security
BIA need to incorporate it
Security How we achieve

BIA facilitates extremely sophisticated security
At different levels i.e. Objects and Data
Object Level Security means different reports for
different user
Data level security means different data for
different user in same report
Utilizing own security and integrating it in build
application
Can utilizes settings inside EBS
Credentials can be stored in LDAP/Oracle
database/Application
User Security
User Security
User security stands for Authentication
Authentication means get in users
Verifying the credentials
Outside stored credentials are accessed at runtime
Stored inside BI EE/outside BI EE

Hence any update in credentials can be taken care of
Outside stored credentials are usually shared with other applications
Usually by Oracle Identity Management
Verification steps usually depends on other applications
Example SSO integration described in next slide
User Security Storage of Credentials
Oracle BI EE Security Based Authentication
LDAP Authentication
Maintains list of users in an external database
Database Authentication
Stores information from the LDAP server in session variables
External Table Authentication
Defines and stores user information in the RPD
Authenticates users through database logins
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Provides an open interface to enable web integration with SSO products
Single Sign-On with Oracle EBS
Single Sign-On (SSO) is oracle identity management
SSO complaint Oracle applications participate in identity management
BI EE and hence BIA is SSO complaint
EBS is SSO complaint , if the required patch is applied
On SSO login
a user need not sign in (log in) again for many applications
Instead credentials get reused via transfer of session in between

applications
SSO is the method of security integration between EBS and BI EE
Single Sign-On with EBS - Process

Object level security restrict user/users
groups accessing
Dashboards/Pages/Request
Presentation layer objects i.e Subject
Area/Presentation table(s)/Presentation
Column(s)
The users access usually (not necessary)
organized using user Groups
Object Level Security for BI EE Metadata

Object level security for Presentation layer
i.e Subject Area/Presentation table(s)/Presentation

Column(s)
Using BI EE user Groups I.e Responsibility of EBS

They are present in vanilla repository
Each Presentation catalog is restricted for set of
groups (responsibilities)
Example Financial catalog is restricted to EBS
Financial users responsibility
Options to that in BI EE are
Set Group System Session variable

Create groups manually inside BI EE repository
Object Level Security for presentation

service
Object level security for presentation service
is for
Dashboards/Pages/Answers Request
Inside web catalog Administration
User Groups a.k.a. Web group
Created by Webgroup System session
variable
One Webgroup is One responsibility
Data Level Security
Data Level Security
Applied to restrict data for different users differently
Each and every user sees different set of result
Data level security setup differs for applications
In EBS its based on users Responsibility/Policy
Group users belongs to changes with above
Data level security needs Single Sign On (SSO) Integration
Users current status is queried at run time from EBS
Output determines what data (s)he will (wont) see
Data Level Security - Types
BIA can configure security each way EBS can
Types of Data Level Security
Business Group Org-Based Security
Company Org-Based Security
Human Resource Personnel Data Security
Inventory Org-Based Security
Ledger-Based Security
Operating Unit Org-Based Security
Primary Employee/Position Hierarchy-Based Security
Data Level Security Setup
Data Level Security setup is done using
Initialization Block and row wise variables inside it
Metadata (filters) for filtering data using row wise initialized variables
During execution of report following happens in sequence
Users credentials get verified
SSO integration (should be integrated) verified
Using EBS_SSO_INTEGRATION_MODE Initialization block
The group (i.e. responsibilities) and applications user belongs to determined
OLTP_EBS_RESP_ID, OLTP_EBS_RESP_APPL_ID
Different Initialization blocks returns results in variables
Data then get filtered as per metadata filter configuration
Please not till step 4 , Out of Box Repository is configured In Step five
configuration need be made once
