Presentation GoalsPresentation Goals

• Demonstrate “how to” integrate Oracle OLAP 10g cubes with OBIEE

• Demonstrate Genco’s usage of BIEE with Oracle OLAP cubes


Oracle OLAP 10g Oracle OLAP 10g –– 30,000 Ft View30,000 Ft View

• OLAP cubes stored in an Analytic Workspace (LOB)

in the Oracle database

• Data stored in multi-dimensional arrays

• Analytic workspaces created using Analytic


• Analytic workspaces created using Analytic

Workspace Manager (AWM) or Oracle Warehouse

Builder (OWB)

• Dimensions & Hierarchies

• Measures (Stored, Derived)

• FAST performance


Who is Who is GencoGenco??

• Merchandise Distribution Center - Pittsburg

• Manufacturer > Distributor > Retailer

• “Reverse Trade Flows” (Returns)

• Retailer > Distributor > Manufacturer


• Retailer > Distributor > Manufacturer

• Multiple manufacturers

• Multiple retailers

GencoGenco UsageUsage

• Inbound Inventory tracking

• Outbound Inventory tracking

Why MOLAP?Why MOLAP?

• Embedded Total view

• Measure columns return stored and calculated data at all summary levels

• Simple SQL for complex queries


• Summary management (sum, last, average, weighted average, etc…)

• Supports all hierarchy types (skip level, value based, ragged, etc…)

• Can include very complex formulas and functions using OLAP DML

• FAST!


Overview of OBIEEOverview of OBIEE

• Presents relational data in a pseudo-multidimensional manner

• Dimensional and hierarchical presentation

• Use any ODBC-compliant relational data sources


sources

• User-customizable Dashboards

• Rich feature set of analysis tools (crosstab, charts and graphs, links, tickers, speedometers…)

• Ad-hoc, Dashboards, and Alerts

Creating the Embedded Total View


OBIEE Administration ToolOBIEE Administration Tool

• OBIEE Administration tool defines environment

• Physical Layer – imports tables and views from

relational sources


• Business Model Layer – Organizes physical

tables/views into logical business model

• Presentation Layer – Converts Business Model to

user presentation view

• OBIEE Analytics – Web browser interface


Technical DemonstrationTechnical Demonstration

• Genco model is large and complex.

• Demo uses a simpler model

Presentation SummaryPresentation Summary

• AWM and OBIEE are complementary technologies

• AWM and the Oracle OLAP multi-dimensional

environment extend the functionality of OBIEE


• OBIEE provides an alternative presentation layer

for Oracle OLAP (vs. Discoverer)
