2. What is Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g? Oracle’s mid-tier technology stack for delivering business applications Based around Java JEE technology + non-Java components (typically legacy) Open architecture, standards-based, scalable and secure Two development branches: ‣ OFM 11.1.1.x - mainstream release, contains most servers and applications ‣ OFM 12c.x - newer release stream, mostly concerned with infrastructure now

3. Full Disk to Application Product Stack Fusion Middleware is part of the wider Oracle technology stack Full set of hardware, software and services for enterprise customers Typically runs on Unix/Linux servers, with FMW tier often virtualized using OVM or VMWare Engineered systems for data (Exadata), middleware (Exalogic) and analytics (Exalytics) Applications built on JEE and SOA infrastructure Management through Oracle Enterprise Manager On-premise or in the cloud Storage Servers Operating System Virtual Machine Database Middleware Applications

4. www.rittmanmead.com What is Oracle Business Intelligence? Oracle BI provides a set of web-based tools for reporting and analyzing data Based around dashboards, built around graphs, tables, pivots etc Multiple server architecture that splits data access / presentation elements Based on Siebel Analytics technology Connects to multiple data sources ‣ Oracle DB & Exadata ‣ SQL Server, DB/2, Teradata ‣ Essbase, Oracle OLAP, MSAS ‣ ADF View Objects etc Integral part of Oracle Fusion Middleware

5. www.rittmanmead.com Web-Based Delivery of Analytics and Analysis Users access information and analytics through role-based dashboards Can also publish reports to PDF, distribute, or access through MS Office

6. All Built Using Shared “Common Enterprise Information Model” All reporting tools can take their data from a shared metadata layer Defined as dimensional model, embeds common calculations and drill paths Subject-area and row-level security Three-layer design to provide abstraction from underlying complicated source systems Simplification of the Data Model Integration of Disparate DataSources Addition of Business Logic and Calculations

7. OBIEE Benefits for Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers A richer, more user-customizable set of graphs, tables and other data visualizations than provided by stock ADF DVT Create formatted reports and distribute them to users Metadata catalogs and repositories to provide business context, control access and organize reporting Access to a wide range of data sources, including relational, OLAP, unstructured, file and application sources (and the ability to combine them together) Ability to create alerts that test for business events Embed BI insights into applications and business

8. Technical Integration Points Between FMW11g and OBIEE11g OBIEE Analyses, dashboards and scorecards can be embedded in ADF pages and WebCenter OBIEE Semantic layer can be a data source for ADF business components OBIEE Repositories can use ADF View Objects as data sources OBIEE Analyses and ADF regions can exchange parameters and events OBIEE, through the Action Framework, can leverage ADF web services FMW Data Integration routines (ODI) can be called from OBIEE Both OBIEE and ADF can share common security, and hosting in WebLogic Server

9. Accessing OBIEE Metadata and Data from ADF Applications Metrics, Dimensions and Attributes from the BI Repository can be exposed through ADF view objects Uses JDBC connection to the BI Server, and a logical SQL query to retrieve data Requires the Business Intelligence Logical SQL View Objects JDeveloper extension 1 2 3

10. Enables use of BI Server Calculation and Data Federation SQL issued by View Object is “logical SQL”, special dialect used by BI Server ‣ Identical syntax across all data sources (even OLAP and file) BI Server can combine data from multiple sources, present as a single combined data model Combine actuals and forecast, OLAP and relational, data sourced from multiple databases and applications ADF View Object Oracle BI Server JDBC SELECT amount_sold, product_category, customer_city FROM sales, products, customer Oracle SQL MDX File access over ODBC CUSTOMER tableSALES cubePRODUCTS file

11. ADF Business Components as an OBIEE Repository Data Source The BI Repository is a metadata layer that provides a logical dimensional model Maps to one or more physical data sources, whose data can be combined together Presented as one or more subject areas ADF View Objects can be accessed via HTTP to provide access to transactional data ‣ Recommended JDev version is 11.1.1.6+ ‣ Method used by Fusion Apps Oracle Transactional BI (OTBI)

12. Configuring an ADF Application to Access ADF BI View Objects OBIEE BI Repository access to ADF view objects is enabled through two libraries that need to be added to the ADF WebLogic Server ‣ OBIEEBroker (servlet) -Available as part of OBIEE install ‣ Oracle Application Core Additional webapp needs to be added to the ADF application for OBIEEBroker JDBC Datasource configured for the AppModule, and the hosting WLS servers ADF VOs then accessed through this new servlet, via HTTP connection from OBIEE’s BI Server

13. Typical ADF Fusion Web Application Enabled for OBIEE VO Access Additional application module configuration that uses JDBC Data Source Based on JDeveloper 11.1.1.6+ ADF BC View Objects provide the base data object, exposed then through data controls App Module updated to add additional configuration that uses JDBC data source, also present on host WebLogic server OBIEEBroker webapp provides access to required servlet ADF view objects that will be exposed as a data source for OBIEE Servlet configuration entries for webapp, referencing OBIEEBroker and Oracle Application Core shared libraries Additional webapp Project that uses OBIEEBroker servlet to interface with OBIEE BI Server

14. Create Additional “Backwards” Joins to Enable BI Server Joining Ensure joins that go from fact source to dimension sources are created within JDev ‣ View links, equivalent to table joins; default ones go from dimension to fact Ensures that there is a suitable set of VOs within the application module data model that supports the correct joining in OBIEE

15. Importing ADF View Object Metadata into the BI Repository OBIEE’s BI Administration Tool connects to the webapp and imports ADF VO metadata ADF Business Components from the Application Module are presented for import ‣ ViewObject instances become physical tables ‣ ViewLink instances become complex joins between ViewObjects Connection details to the obieebroker servlet AppModule definition (FQ Java package name) AppModule config (that uses JDBC datasource) URL (appname/obieebroker) Username/password

16. Enabling SQL Bypass Database for ADF View Object Datasources HTTP access to ADF VOs works well, but you may hit performance issues ‣ BI Server cannot “push-down” functions, has to functionally compensate after dataset is returned from servlet ‣ All rows in the resultset are returned to BI Server, which then has to aggregate results, apply functions etc To address this, an SQL Bypass database can be configured within the connection pool ‣ BI Server extracts SQL from VO ‣ Adds aggregation clauses, functions etc ‣ Sends SQL directly to VO source DB Defined in the Connection Pool, needs to point to the same database that sources the ADF VO data

17. Embedding OBIEE Graphs and Other Visuals in ADF Applications OBIEE’s graphs, tables and other visualizations are built using ADF DVT Approach taken by Oracle for the Fusion Applications Can be embedded in ADF applications, with parameter passing, shared security etc Ability for end-users to customize views, persisted using MDS

18. Access to Maps, KPIs, Scorecards, Mobile BI and the Catalog OBIEE analyses, dashboards and other objects are held in a catalog Granular access rights, mapped to application roles and LDAP users Rich visualizations including maps, scorecards, KPIs and published reports Report distribution through the Oracle BI Scheduler More complete reporting solution compared to ADF DVT objects

19. Using the BI Action Framework to Invoke SOA Processes OBIEE’s Action Framework can also be used to call Web Services, SOA processes etc ‣ Run some BPEL workflow process ‣ Trigger an ETL process in ODI to reload a dataset ‣ Call secured web services asynchronously OBIEE Action Framework agents can also be called via BI Web Services for SOA ‣ Distribute a set of reports to users ‣ Detect and then act on changes in business data, KPIs etc Enables a closed-feedback loop where BI detects and responds to changes, and can respond to and trigger business processes and

20. www.rittmanmead.com Options for Embedding BI Content in ADF Applications Add BI Presentation Catalog content directly into ASF JSF/JSP pages ‣ Direct control over what goes where ‣ Create connection to the BI Presentation Server to browse catalog content ‣ Pass parameters, respond to and raise events ‣ Programmatically control and embed the BI content Add BI Content via the WebCenter Portal : Framework component set ‣ Users have ability to add their own BI content via portlet framework ‣ Options for end-user customization, also include other collaboration features ‣ Additional license cost for WebCenter Portal ‣ Alternative is to deploy WebCenter Portal : Spaces and use prebuilt approach

21. Configuring ADF Applications to Access OBIEE BI Content JDeveloper 11.1.1.6+ is recommended for BI integration Requires a number of JDeveloper extensions: ‣ Business Intelligence ADF Task Flow ‣ Business Intelligence ADF View Regions ‣ Business Intelligence Composer ‣ Business Intelligence Logical SQL View Objects ‣ Business Intelligence Soap Connection Create an additional connection in the Application Resources folder to connect to BI Presentation Services (using SOAP) Uses OBIEE Impersonator user to connect ‣ Uses credentials of logged in ADF user to browse the BI Catalog

22. www.rittmanmead.com Embedding BI Objects in an ADF Application BI content can be dragged and dropped from the Presentation Catalog browser Content using filters prompts you to enter parameter values, or map to ADF objects Content renders alongside other ADF content, using same UI, visual styles etc Customization of BI content persisted in MDS metadata store

23. Passing Parameters and Invoking Events BI Objects automatically prompt you to map values or attributes into report filters ‣ Can be linked to controls such as drop-down menus, radio buttons etc BI Objects can also raise contextual events that can be consumed by other ADF regions Uses OBIEE11g’s Action Framework, and the ADF Contextual Event action link type ‣ Enabled through the instanceconfig.xml BI Presentation Server configuration file true

24. Lifecycle of an OBIEE ADF Contextual Event Clicking on ADFContextualEvent action link triggers the ADF contextual event, and QDR (qualified data reference) then sent in payload for listener to detect and handler to process {"_m":[ {"_g":{"%22Warehouses%20Dim%22.%22Warehouse%20Name%22 ":["Mexico%20City"]}}, {"_g":{"%22Products%20Dim%22.%22Product%20ID% 22":[3167]}},{"_g":{"%22Products%20Dim%22.%22Product%20Name%2 2":["Manual%20- %20Vision%20OS/2.x"]}},{"_g":{"%22Orders%20Fact%22.%22Quan tity%20Ordered%22":[216]}... }} http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/contextualE vent public void receiveBiQDREvent(String incomingPayload) { int index0 = incomingPayload.indexOf("%22Warehouses%20Dim%22.%22 Warehouse%20Name%22"); int index1 = incomingPayload.indexOf("]}", index0);... index0 = incomingPayload.indexOf("%22Products%20Dim%22.%22Prod uct%20ID%22"); index1 = incomingPayload.indexOf("]}", index0); 1 2 3 User clicks on the ADFContextualEvent action link, triggering the event and enclosing the QDR payload ADF eventMap registers a listener for the event, and a handler to process the QDR Handler reads the payload, parses the QDR and sets required object attribute values

25. Adding BI Content to Oracle WebCenter Portal WebCenter Portal is a part of WebCenter Suite for creating portals and “spaces” Leverages rest of WebCenter suite for content management, web 2.0-style collaboration Comes in three versions: ‣ WebCenter Portal : Spaces ‣ WebCenter Portal : Framework ‣ WebCenter Portal : Services WebCenter Sites Web Experience Management (ex-Fatwire) Oracle WebCenter WebCenter Portal Composite Applications WebCenter Social Social Networking and Collaboration WebCenter Content Enterprise Content Management (ex-Stellent) WebCenter Portal : Spaces Ready-built Collaboration Portal WebCenter Portal : Framework ADF Portal Components WebCenter Portal : Services Web 2.0 Services for Portals

26. www.rittmanmead.com Presentation Catalog Content and WebCenter Portal : Spaces WebCenter Portal : Spaces is pre-built, but requires admin configuration to access BI Presentation Server catalog ‣ Create ImpersonateUser in OBIEE WLS LDAP server, grant A ‣ Create BISOAPConnection ADF datasource using wlst or EM ‣ Add BI Presentation Services Catalog as a folder with the Spaces resource catalog BI Content can then be added by users to their portal page Select BI Presentation Catalog Content folder, then drill into catalog folder hierarchy to select required BI object 1 2 3 Add catalog content to page, map parameters and perform customization View content in Space

27. Presentation Server Content and WebCenter Portal : Framework JDeveloper provides two more extensions, for WebCenter Portal components ‣ WebCenter Customization Framework Design Time ‣ WebCenter Framework and Services Design Time Provides ability to create custom ADF applications using portal and web 2.0 services BI content can also be included in these applications ‣ Programatically create connection to BI Catalog ‣ Automatically add in certain BI views, and allow users to add to or customize their pages with additional content ‣ Make use of collaboration features such as -Polls -Wikis -Forums -Messaging

28. Enabling ADF Applications for Portal : Framework and OBIEE OBIEE connection needs to be set up as per regular ADF / OBIEE integration Install all required extensions for OBIEE, and for Portal : Framework Add entry in the default-catalog.xml file to register Presentation Services catalog Ensure pages containing OBIEE content are secured, so credentials passed to Presentation Server for browsing the catalog Create JSP page using Portal : Framework template to include log in and security, page framework, ability to add content and customize etc

29. Monitoring and Management through OEM 12cR2 Cloud Control OBIEE comes with its own EM version, focused on BI management tasks EM 12cR2 Cloud Control also now available, with BI Management Pack ‣ Monitor OBIEE hosts ‣ OBIA DAC ETL jobs ‣ Essbase Databases Standard maintenance tasks plus persistent metrics, quality of service alerts, usage tracking, Automated patching and configuration Cloning of installations, other enterprise management tasks

30. w.rittmanmead.com Summary Being built on the same Fusion Middleware JEE platform, BI and Oracle’s Java development tools are closely integrated and share common underpinnings BI content can interoperate with ADF applications, and WebCenter portals Primary driver was the Fusion Applications, but features are open to all to use OBIEE repositories can consume ADF VO data sources, and ADF Business Components can source data from the BI Repository BI can invoke BPEL processes, web services etc, and raise ADF contextual events Common personalization framework (MDS), security (OPSS) and visuals (ADF DVT)
