1.0 Introduction

1. OBIA stands for Oracle Business Intelligence applications or BI Apps or

OOB(Out Of Box) work

2. OBIA 11G released by oracle with the combination of OBIEE 11G + ODI 11G
in the year of 2013

3. OBIA 11G OOB work not available with ODI12C

4. OBIA 11G works only with 64 bit OS

5. The versions available are OBIA 11.1.1.7.0/7.1/8.1/9.1/9.2

6. OBIA available with OBIEE 11G + INFORMATICA +DAC combination and

those versions are OBIA 7.9.6.4/3/2/1...etc

7. As part of the OBIA 11G installation we will get mainly three components

a. BIACM (Configuration Manager)

b. FSM (Functional Setup Manager)

c. ODI Console

2.0 OBIA 11G Architecture

Components Deployed Into Manager Server "bi_server1"

• Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager(OBIACM) - This component is

a Web application that enables you to perform system setups, functionally
configure your BI Applications, and define, generate, run, and monitor load
plans.
• Functional Setup Manager(FSM) - This component is a Web application used
by Configuration Manager for sequenced task implementation and task
dependency management.
• Load Plan Generator - This component is a set of jar files used to create load
plans in the Oracle Data Integrator Repository.
• ATGLite - This component is a J2EE component used by Oracle BI
Applications Configuration Manager and Functional Setup Manager.

Components Deployed Into Managed Server "odi_server1"

• ODI Console - This component enables you to control and monitor ETL.
• ODI Agent - This component is a Java EE Agent, which handles schedules
and orchestrates sessions.

Oracle BI Applications Repositories

• Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse(OBAW) - The Business Analytics

Warehouse is a unified data repository for all customer-centric data, which
supports the analytical requirements of the supported source systems. The
Business Analytics Warehouse is supported only on Oracle Database.
• Business Intelligence Applications Components Repository (BIACOMP) - This
is the repository for Configuration Manager and Functional Setup Manager. It
contains load plan definitions as well as BI Applications product hierarchy,
setup objects, such as parameters and domain mappings, and a list of
functional tasks. This repository is supported only on Oracle Database.
• Business Intelligence Applications I/O Schema - This schema is a mirror
schema and is used by all other components to read the BIACOMP schema.
It supports read/write of configuration and functional setup data through ETL
processes.
 • Oracle Data Integrator Repository for BI Applications - This repository
contains the BI Applications-specific prebuilt ETL logic.

Client Tier

The client host machine shows the Configuration Manager and Oracle Data
Integrator Console accessed through Web browsers. ODI Studio is installed on a
developer client machine. For BI Applications usage, ODI SDK must be installed
along with ODI Studio.

Additional Tools

Golden Gate is an optional tool integrated with Oracle BI Applications. It enables you
to optimize ETL loads and reduce impact on the source system, using a source-
dependent data store(SDS).

ETL Architecture

• SDE : SDE stands for Source Dependent Extract. In the first phase, SDE
tasks extract data from the source system and stage it in staging tables. SDE
tasks are source specific.
 • SIL: SIL stands for Source Independent Load. Load tasks transform and port
the data from staging tables to base fact or dimension tables. SIL tasks are
source independent.
• PLP: PLP stands Post Load Process. PLP tasks are only executed after the
dimension and fact tables are populated. A typical usage of a PLP task is to
transform data from a base fact table and load it into an aggregate table. PLP
tasks are source independent.
