This lesson describes the following architecture components and their relationships:
Clients
Oracle BI Presentation Services
Oracle BI Server
Oracle BI repository
Data sources
Provide access to business intelligence information
Oracle BI Answers
± Is a set of graphical tools used to build, view, and modify
Oracle BI requests
Oracle BI Interactive Dashboards
± Display the results of Answers requests and other items
Oracle BI Administration Tool
± Is used to build an Oracle BI repository
c
Provides the processing to visualize the information for client consumption
Is implemented as an extension to a Web server
Uses a catalog to store saved content
Receives data from Oracle BI Server and provides it to the client that requested it
c
Is the core server behind Oracle Business Intelligence
Provides efficient processing to access physical data sources and structure information
intelligently
± Uses metadata to direct processing
± Generates dynamic SQL to query data in the physical data sources
± Connects natively or through ODBC to the RDBMS
± Structures results to satisfy requests
± Provides BI data to Oracle BI Presentation Services
c
Stores the metadata used by Oracle BI Server
Is accessed and configured using the Oracle BI
Administration Tool, which you use to:
± Import metadata from databases and other data sources
± Simplify and reorganize the metadata into business models
± Structure the business model for presentation to users who request information
Contain the business data that users want to analyze
Are accessed by Oracle BI Server
Can be in any format, such as:
± Relational databases
± Online analytical processing (OLAP) databases
± Flat files
± Spreadsheets
± XML for Analysis (XMLA)
Contains objects representing the physical data sources to which Oracle BI Server submits
queries
Y
Is where physical schemas are simplified and reorganized to form the basis of the users¶ view of
the data.
Contains presentation objects that provide a customized view of a business model to users
Are the facts that a business uses to evaluate its
performance
Can be calculations that define measurable quantities
Are created on logical columns in the fact table
Have a defined aggregation rule
Y
Repository files can be opened for editing in offline or online
mode.
Offline
± Repository is not loaded into Oracle BI Server memory.
Online:
± Repository is loaded into Oracle BI Server memory.
± Administrators can perform tasks not available in offline mode:
² Manage scheduled jobs
² Manage user sessions
² Manage the query cache
² Manage clustered servers
² Stop Oracle BI Server
