Merging OBIEE Repositories

By merging OBIEE repositories the difference of the repository objects (in all three layers)

from Original, modified and current repository will get merge into one repository.

We can compare the original repository with the modified repository and the original

repository with the current repository and it also allow merging with the current

repository on each object basis.

Using Merge option from OBIEE Admin Tool we can merge repositories.

Step1) Decide repositories to merge and make a copy of original RPD.

In below example we have BISPSALES as original rpd and Time_series as modified rpd

and

BISP_SALES as copy of original.

Step2) Now go to Admin Tool and select to open the copy of original rpd Expand andcheckout for models in each layer.

Financial Reporting RPD Using

OBIEE

Building repository using multidimensional data source for financial analysis.

(Here multidimensional data source is Hyperion Essbase)

1. Start the multidimensional data source. Check out the Application Name, database name andits Outline of the cube first in Essbase Administration Services which you want to use for

building repository.

8/88

3. Now open the Administration Tool-> go to file menu select new to create an empty repository

-> give a name to save rpd.

4. Go to File menu -> Select import -> from Multidimensional. (A new window will open)
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qggO_zkjBwo/TttELwpSkmI/AAAAAAAABc4/DDwVNRirkAY/s1600/12.PNGhttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/--OvRuApZe3g/TttDkiZLHoI/AAAAAAAABcg/7V46wMno5CQ/s1600/12.PNG


9/88

5. A Import from Multidimensional window will display select Essbase as provider type from

drop down list give server name, Username and password than press OK.

After selecting OK, a list of applications and cubes available on the Essbase Server is

displayed.

6. The Administrator than has the option of selecting either Essbase applications or cubes to

import.
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d8t_AVNbbgM/TttHTkThCbI/AAAAAAAABdQ/BdDWrtoeBpY/s1600/12.PNGhttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nx5CgKS1D-0/TttE9h90pGI/AAAAAAAABdE/Zu5TsESUmfA/s1600/12.PNG


10/88

7. Verify the Import in Physical Layer:-

When you import the physical schema, Oracle BI Server imports the cube, including its metrics,

hierarchies and levels. Each multidimensional catalog in the database can contain multiplephysical cubes. You can import one or more of these cubes into your BI repository. You can

create a cube table manually. However, it is recommended that you import cube tables and their

components. (Note that Essbase applications are mapped as Physical catalogs.)

7.1). Each cube from a multidimensional data source is set up as a physical cube table, a type of

physical table. It has all the capabilities of a table such as physical cube columns, keys (optional)and foreign keys (optional). It also has cube-specific metadata such as hierarchies and levels. Inthe Physical layer, a physical cube table looks like a regular table but has a different icon.

Columns also have unique cube icons:-

Key icons represent attributes that are part of the hierarchy.

Columns with cube icons represent attributes that are not part of the hierarchy.

Columns with cube icons plus the sigma sign represent either additive measure or

calculated members.

11/88

(*#* The physical model is option is hidden for the multidimensional cube so you cannot create

or see the physical model of cube)

7.2) Verify Imported Hierarchies and Levels

In the Physical Cube Table dialog box, the Hierarchies tab lists the dimensional hierarchies in the

cube. In this dialog box you can add, edit or remove hierarchies.

To verify a hierarchy, select it and click Edit, or double-click the hierarchy. In the Hierarchy

dialog box, verify that the levels are correct. The Hierarchy dialog box lists all the defined levels

for the selected hierarchy.

The highest level in the hierarchy should be the first (highest) item in the list. If you need to

reorder the hierarchy levels, select a level and click Up or Down to correct the order of the

levels. There must be multiplelevels and you must select a level for the buttons to be available.

You can also reorder, add, edit or remove levels. Note the multidimensional level icon .Thisconfirms that these columns have been identified as part of the hierarchy. The Default Member

type ALL check box should always be selected by default. This is for performance reasons.

This check box helps Oracle BI Server rewrite more efficient Multidimensional Expressions(MDX) when sending logical queries.

12/88

If you delete property or key columns from a level, the association is deleted and the column

changes to a measure under the parent cube table.

7.3) Verify Imported Measures

To verify and assign the aggregation rule correctly follow the below instructions:-

Verify aggregation rules after importing a cube. Typically, aggregation rules are

assigned correctlywhen you import the cube. However, if a measure is a calculatedmeasure, the aggregation rule isreported as None. Therefore, you should examine the

aggregation rule for all measures afterimporting a cube to verify that the aggregation rule

has been assigned correctly.

For all measures assigned an aggregation rule value of None, contact themultidimensional datasource administrator to verify that the value of the aggregation ruleis accurate. If you need to change the aggregation rule, you can change it in the Physical

Cube Column dialog box. If you build the measures manually, set the aggregation rule to

match its definition in the multidimensional data source.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lWhJp0TNYk4/TttLxGUdrdI/AAAAAAAABd0/Y-jw3J-cYmY/s1600/12.PNG


13/88

For all the measures the aggregations rule is Aggregated External by default showing in the

physical layer.

(For this cube you dont need to change anything for measure columns in physical layer.)

*#*Note: - The measures hierarchy is not supported in OBIEE (10.1.3.4.1) so it get flattened

after importing into physical layer.

8). Create the Business Model and Mapping Layer.

Import the physical cube into the Business modeling and mapping layer, drag and drop the cube

into the Business Model and Mapping Layer to automatically create a Business Model that

includes associated dimensions and hierarchies.

When you drag from the Physical layer, logical tables, dimensions and relationships are created

automatically. The Business Model can then be customized to take advantage of BI Server

capabilities such as aggregate and fragment navigation.

8.1) Right click on the newly imported cube in the BMM layer and navigate to Business ModelDiagram -> Whole Diagram. You can see automatically created model (Star schema because of

multidimensional cube).

It is possible to create it on your own.

Arrange the model.

8.2) Expand the Year dimension, verify all the columns and Year hierarchy verify all the levels

are in correct flow or not.

14/88

8.3) You can see that year hierarchy is not in correct form so correct it as shown in below screen

shot. Just go to year dimension and rename the Quarter column as Year, Months column as

Quarter and Gen4,Year column as Months and also change the names of levels also.

8.4) Also rename the columns of caffeinated and Pkg type.(Rename other tables and columns as per your requirement and understanding.)

8.5)Now change the aggregation rule for all the measures from Aggr_External to Sum to create

new computed logical columns and to apply functions.

15/88

8.6) Create a new logical column Rank_Sales (Rank) using any existing logical column.

Right click on the fact table CCoA and select New object -> Logical Column.

Give a name Rank_Sales for the column and select the check box Use existing logical column as

the source -> click on eclipse select logical tables-> CCoA(Fact table)-> Logical Column (Sales)

and click on Insert then ok.

Put the existing logical column into bracket and add Rank as shown in the above screen shot andpress ok to save this column. (You can see the newly created logical column).

9). Create the Presentation Layer

Setting up the Presentation layer for multidimensional data sources is similar to setting up thePresentation layer for a relational data source. To create the Presentation layer, you can drag the

business model into the Presentation layer. You can than modify objects in the Presentation layer

just as you would with a relational data source as per your understanding and requirements.

9.1) Right Click in the empty presentation layer and select-> New presentation catalog to create a

new presentation catalog, give a name Ad-Hoc Analysis and press ok to save it.

9.2) Drag tables and columns into the catalog for Ad-hoc Analysis.

9.3) Now again create a new Testing Team catalog and put all the tables inside it, make itcomplete with all the available tables and columns.

10) Create Groups and group members.

10.1) Go to Manage in Admin Tool-> Select Security.

Select Groups from left pane in security manager then right click into right pane and select New

Security Group.

10.2) Enter a name for the new group and grant permissions.

(Permission is depends on the requirements of users what tables and columns they require for

reporting)

18/88

Enter a user name, set logging level and select groups to which group this user belongs.

Permissions which are granted to the group are automatically applicable for the user also.

If you do not set permissions for users the group permissions were applicable for user.

11).Testing and validating repository.

11.1) After building the presentation layer test the repository Check Global Consistency forerrors and save the repository.

Now the repository is ready and available for query.

11.2) Now configure the name of repository into OraclceBI/Server/Config NQSConfig.ini file

and save the changes.

11.3) Start the services one by one
