WHY WOULD I NEED TO CUSTOMIZE THE BI APPLICATIONS?

Question:

Rolta TUSC page 22

DASHBOARDS& REPORTS

• Prebuilt best practice library• “One size does NOT fit all”

SUBJECT AREAS

• Many metrics and dimensional attributes not surfaced by prebuilt dashboards and reports• Possibilities are endless• Incremental work to build exponential content from this foundation

More than just dashboards and reportsValue of BI Apps lies under the surface

Rolta TUSC page 23

Some Reasons to Customize BI Applications

Modify out-of-the-box analytics to meet your business analysis needs– Adding new facts, dimensions, hierachies– Re-format analytic reports to meet user demands– Add additional comparisons

Ensure the quality and completeness of your analysis– Include flex-fields in your analysis– Ensuring all necessary EBS data is included– Confirm the mappings of segments, flex-fields, etc.

Add additional data to your analysis– Include other (non-EBS) data sources to extend analysis– Or, even feed ERP data from unsupported data sources

Rolta TUSC page 24

HOW DO I CUSTOMIZE THE BI APPLICATIONS?

Question:

Rolta TUSC page 25

Typical Effort & Customization balance

Extension of DW Schema for extension columns, additional tables, aggregates, indices, etc.

Extension of ETL for extension columns, descriptive flexfields, additional tables, etc.

Additional derived metrics, custom drill paths, exposing extensions in physical, logical and presentation layer, etc.

Additional dashboards and reports, guided and conditional navigations, iBots, etc.

Rolta TUSC page 27

Customizing OBIEE Metadata Client based OBIEE

Administrative tool Pre-built aggregates,

functions, etc. Dimensions, measures,

facts presented in DW format

Common metadata additions include aggregates and functions

Once added, metadata must be exposed in dashboards/reports

Rolta TUSC page 28

Customizing the DW Schema Star schema format, for DW-

type performance Subject matter focused stars,

in data mart fashion Thousands of tables and 10’s

of thousands of columns Already houses much of your

ERP data, some not even exposed in pre-built reports

DW customizations require both metadata and dashboard/report modifications to use data

Rolta TUSC page 29

Customizing ETL Code ETL architecture facilities ease of

modification– Source Dependent layer has knowledge of

ERP data source– Staging Tables provide standard format– Source Independent has none– Universal Adapter allows you to create ETL

from any data source

ETL tool used to modify mappings – Informatica or Oracle Data Integrator (limited)

ETL additions must be exposed in the DAC (Data Warehouse Administration Console)

ETL additions/changes may require DW, Metadata and report mods

Rolta TUSC page 30

Summary

Delivering Successful BI solutions requires– BI & DW expertise, experience and a proven approach– A solid, reliable and flexible BI/DW framework

Oracle BI Applications are– Built on Oracle’s core BI platform, OBIEE Plus– Based on industry accepted best practices for BI & DW– Equipped with a complete set of data models, ETL

solutions, OBIEE metadata, dashboards and reports– Extensible – at any level – to meet all of your needs– A great accelerator for your BI solutions
