Agenda

• What is BI-Illustrator

• Features

• Demonstration

• Benefits

• Value Proposition


Does This Sound Familiar?

• Where do I have to go to get the source information for a OBIEE/OBIA metric?

• How do I know what gets impacted in OBIEE/OBIA if I make changes to ERP?

• How do I know the dependencies between two OBIA modules?

• How can I reduce the time taken to investigate when I don’t know where to start with this huge list of ETL’s?

• How can I provide self-service ability to business to answer the question, “Where is this data coming from?”

Why BI-Illustrator

• Limited data lineage available in Oracle

• Limited functionality to keep lineage updated

• Not adaptive to OBI Applications ‘style’ of metadata

• Show one lineage of one mapping at a time

• Impact analysis limited to RPD

• Most of the development / support time is spent on analysis rather than design and development

• Typically BI solutions involve multiple tools and technologies


Features

• Complete Data Lineage for OBIEE/BI Apps

- Dashboard / Report column to D/W to EBS source details

- RPD / Metadata model

- DAC and Informatica details

- SQL used for extracting data

• Impact Analysis

– Impact to BI Apps objects (ETL, RPD and reports) based on a change to EBS, D/W or RPD

• Supports all BI Apps modules

• No additional software (runs on existing BI Apps environment)

• Captures the customizations

• Analyze the dependencies across BI Apps modules


Demonstration

Lineage

• How to find the source to “Invoiced Amount” metric in few clicks

• How to understand logic, without worrying specific tools and technologies

• How to do the Focused ETL Analysis

Impact Analysis

• How to understand impact of “AP_INVOICES_ALL” on OBIEE/OBIA Objects

Presentation Column Explore

• How to search for a column with “Cash” word defined in presentation column across the Subject Areas

Module Dependency

• How to find the dependency between to “Financial Analytics” and “Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics” OBIA Modules


Benefits

• Business Users

– Find the source data information

– Find the source to report logic

– Find the definition of the report field *

• IT Users / Developers / Implementation team

– See impact of change at any level of D/W

– Get detailed mapping and source information

– Access data lineage dashboard

– Create custom data lineage reports e.g. what reports are build on GL source tables

– Accurately plan the project – customizations etc.


Value Proposition

• Serves as documentation and data dictionary for OBEE/BI Apps

• Helps speed up the development by providing the insight into pre built code in mater of minutes

• Helps change management (list of objects to be migrated from one instance to other)

• Continue using after the project finishes – a must to support the OBIEE solution
