2. What is Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g?
•
•
•
•
Oracle’s mid-tier technology stack for delivering business applications
Based around Java JEE technology + non-Java components (typically legacy)
Open architecture, standards-based, scalable and secure
Two development branches:
‣ OFM 11.1.1.x - mainstream release, contains most servers and applications
‣ OFM 12c.x - newer release stream,
mostly concerned with infrastructure now
3. Full Disk to Application Product Stack
• Fusion Middleware is part of the wider
Oracle technology stack
• Full set of hardware, software and services for
enterprise customers
• Typically runs on Unix/Linux servers, with
FMW tier often virtualized using OVM or VMWare
• Engineered systems for data (Exadata),
middleware (Exalogic) and analytics (Exalytics)
• Applications built on JEE and SOA infrastructure
• Management through Oracle Enterprise Manager
• On-premise or in the cloud
Applications
Middleware
Database
Operating System
Virtual Machine
Servers
Storage
4. What is Oracle Business Intelligence?
•
•
•
•
•
Oracle BI provides a set of web-based tools for reporting and analyzing data
Based around dashboards, built around graphs, tables, pivots etc
Multiple server architecture that splits data access / presentation elements
Based on Siebel Analytics technology
Connects to multiple data sources
‣ Oracle DB & Exadata
‣ SQL Server, DB/2, Teradata
‣ Essbase, Oracle OLAP, MSAS
‣ ADF View Objects etc
• Integral part of Oracle Fusion Middleware
www.rittmanmead.com
5. Web-Based Delivery of Analytics and Analysis
• Users access information and analytics through role-based dashboards
• Can also publish reports to PDF, distribute, or access through MS Office
www.rittmanmead.com
6. All Built Using Shared “Common Enterprise Information Model”
•
•
•
•
All reporting tools can take their data from a shared metadata layer
Defined as dimensional model, embeds common calculations and drill paths
Subject-area and row-level security
Three-layer design to provide
abstraction from underlying
complicated source systems
Simplification of the Data Model
Integration of Disparate DataSources
Addition of Business Logic and Calculations
7. OBIEE Benefits for Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers
• A richer, more user-customizable set of graphs, tables and
other data visualizations than provided by stock ADF DVT
• Create formatted reports and distribute them to users
• Metadata catalogs and repositories to provide business
context, control access and organize reporting
• Access to a wide range of data sources, including
relational, OLAP, unstructured, file and application
sources (and the ability to combine them together)
• Ability to create alerts that test for business events
• Embed BI insights into applications and business
8. Technical Integration Points Between FMW11g and OBIEE11g
• OBIEE Analyses, dashboards and scorecards
can be embedded in ADF pages and WebCenter
• OBIEE Semantic layer can be a data source for
ADF business components
• OBIEE Repositories can use ADF View Objects
as data sources
• OBIEE Analyses and ADF regions
can exchange parameters and events
• OBIEE, through the Action Framework,
can leverage ADF web services
• FMW Data Integration routines (ODI) can
be called from OBIEE
• Both OBIEE and ADF can share common
security, and hosting in WebLogic Server
9. Accessing OBIEE Metadata and Data from ADF Applications
• Metrics, Dimensions and Attributes from the BI Repository can be exposed through
ADF view objects
• Uses JDBC connection to the BI Server, and a logical SQL query to retrieve data
• Requires the Business Intelligence Logical SQL View Objects JDeveloper extension
2

3
10. Enables use of BI Server Calculation and Data Federation
• SQL issued by View Object is “logical SQL”, special dialect used by BI Server
‣ Identical syntax across all data sources (even OLAP and file)
• BI Server can combine data from multiple sources,
present as a single combined data model
ADF View
• Combine actuals and forecast,
Object
OLAP and relational,
SELECT amount_sold,
product_category,
data sourced from multiple
JDBC
customer_city
FROM sales, products, customer
databases and applications
Oracle BI
Server
Oracle SQL
CUSTOMER table
MDX
SALES cube
File access over ODBC
PRODUCTS file
11. ADF Business Components as an OBIEE Repository Data Source
•
•
•
•
The BI Repository is a metadata layer that provides a logical dimensional model
Maps to one or more physical data sources, whose data can be combined together
Presented as one or more subject areas
ADF View Objects can be accessed via HTTP
to provide access to transactional data
‣ Recommended JDev version is 11.1.1.6+
‣ Method used by Fusion Apps
Oracle Transactional BI (OTBI)
12. Configuring an ADF Application to Access ADF BI View Objects
• OBIEE BI Repository access to ADF view objects is enabled through two libraries
that need to be added to the ADF WebLogic Server
‣ OBIEEBroker (servlet)
- Available as part of OBIEE install
‣ Oracle Application Core
• Additional webapp needs to be added
to the ADF application for OBIEEBroker
• JDBC Datasource configured for the
AppModule, and the hosting WLS servers
• ADF VOs then accessed through this
new servlet, via HTTP connection
from OBIEE’s BI Server
13. Typical ADF Fusion Web Application Enabled for OBIEE VO Access
• Based on JDeveloper 11.1.1.6+
• ADF BC View Objects provide the
base data object, exposed then
through data controls
• App Module updated to add
additional configuration that uses
JDBC data source, also present
on host WebLogic server
• OBIEEBroker webapp provides
access to required servlet
Additional
application module
configuration that uses
JDBC Data Source
ADF view objects that will be
exposed as a data source for
OBIEE
Servlet configuration entries
for webapp, referencing
OBIEEBroker and Oracle
Application Core shared
libraries
Additional webapp
Project that uses
OBIEEBroker servlet to
interface with
OBIEE BI Server
14. Create Additional “Backwards” Joins to Enable BI Server Joining
• Ensure joins that go from fact source to dimension sources are created within JDev
‣ View links, equivalent to table joins; default ones go from dimension to fact
• Ensures that there is a suitable set of VOs within the application module data model
that supports the correct joining in OBIEE
15. Importing ADF View Object Metadata into the BI Repository
• OBIEE’s BI Administration Tool connects to the webapp and imports ADF VO metadata
• ADF Business Components from the Application Module are presented for import
‣ ViewObject instances become physical tables
‣ ViewLink instances become complex joins between ViewObjects
Connection details to the obieebroker servlet
AppModule definition (FQ Java package name)
AppModule config (that uses JDBC datasource)
URL (appname/obieebroker)
Username/password
16. Enabling SQL Bypass Database for ADF View Object Datasources
• HTTP access to ADF VOs works well, but you may hit performance issues
‣ BI Server cannot “push-down” functions, has to functionally compensate
after dataset is returned from servlet
‣ All rows in the resultset are returned to
BI Server, which then has to aggregate
results, apply functions etc
• To address this, an SQL Bypass database
can be configured within the connection pool
‣ BI Server extracts SQL from VO
‣ Adds aggregation clauses, functions etc
‣ Sends SQL directly to VO source DB
• Defined in the Connection Pool, needs to point to
the same database that sources the ADF VO data
17. Embedding OBIEE Graphs and Other Visuals in ADF Applications
•
•
•
•
OBIEE’s graphs, tables and other visualizations are built using ADF DVT
Approach taken by Oracle for the Fusion Applications
Can be embedded in ADF applications, with parameter passing, shared security etc
Ability for end-users to customize views, persisted using MDS
18. Access to Maps, KPIs, Scorecards, Mobile BI and the Catalog
•
•
•
•
•
OBIEE analyses, dashboards and other objects are held in a catalog
Granular access rights, mapped to application roles and LDAP users
Rich visualizations including maps, scorecards, KPIs and published reports
Report distribution through the Oracle BI Scheduler
More complete reporting solution compared to ADF DVT objects
19. Using the BI Action Framework to Invoke SOA Processes
• OBIEE’s Action Framework can also be used to call Web Services, SOA processes etc
‣ Run some BPEL workflow process
‣ Trigger an ETL process in ODI to reload a dataset
‣ Call secured web services asynchronously
• OBIEE Action Framework agents can also be called via BI Web Services for SOA
‣ Distribute a set of reports to users
‣ Detect and then act on changes
in business data, KPIs etc
• Enables a closed-feedback loop where BI detects
and responds to changes, and can respond to
and trigger business processes and
20. Options for Embedding BI Content in ADF Applications
• Add BI Presentation Catalog content directly into ASF JSF/JSP pages
‣ Direct control over what goes where
‣ Create connection to the BI Presentation Server to browse catalog content
‣ Pass parameters, respond to and raise events
‣ Programmatically control and embed the BI content
• Add BI Content via the WebCenter Portal : Framework component set
‣ Users have ability to add their own BI content via portlet framework
‣ Options for end-user customization, also include other collaboration features
‣ Additional license cost for WebCenter Portal
‣ Alternative is to deploy WebCenter Portal : Spaces and use prebuilt approach
www.rittmanmead.com
21. Configuring ADF Applications to Access OBIEE BI Content
• JDeveloper 11.1.1.6+ is recommended for BI integration
• Requires a number of JDeveloper extensions:
‣ Business Intelligence ADF Task Flow
‣ Business Intelligence ADF View Regions
‣ Business Intelligence Composer
‣ Business Intelligence Logical SQL View Objects
‣ Business Intelligence Soap Connection
• Create an additional connection in the
Application Resources folder to connect to
BI Presentation Services (using SOAP)
• Uses OBIEE Impersonator user to connect
‣ Uses credentials of logged in ADF user
to browse the BI Catalog
22. Embedding BI Objects in an ADF Application
•
•
•
•
BI content can be dragged and dropped from the Presentation Catalog browser
Content using filters prompts you to enter parameter values, or map to ADF objects
Content renders alongside other ADF content, using same UI, visual styles etc
Customization of BI content persisted in MDS metadata store
www.rittmanmead.com
23. Passing Parameters and Invoking Events
• BI Objects automatically prompt you to map values or attributes into report filters
‣ Can be linked to controls such as drop-down menus, radio buttons etc
• BI Objects can also raise contextual events that can be consumed by other ADF regions
• Uses OBIEE11g’s Action Framework, and the ADF Contextual Event action link type
‣ Enabled through the instanceconfig.xml BI Presentation Server configuration file
<ActionLinks>
<EnableADFContextualEvent>true</EnableContextualEvent>
</ActionLinks>
24. Lifecycle of an OBIEE ADF Contextual Event
• Clicking on ADFContextualEvent action link triggers the ADF contextual event, and
QDR (qualified data reference) then sent in payload for listener to detect and handler
to process
<eventMap
2
1
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/contextualE
vent">
<event name="handleBIContextualEvent">
<producer region="*">
<consumer
handler="receiveBiQDREvent">
<parameters>
<parameter name="qdr"
value="${payLoad}"/>
</parameters>
</consumer>
</producer>
</event>
</eventMap>
{"_m":[{"_g":{"%22Warehouses%20Dim%22.%22Warehouse%20Name%22
":["Mexico%20City"]}},{"_g":{"%22Products%20Dim%22.%22Product%20ID%
22":[3167]}},{"_g":{"%22Products%20Dim%22.%22Product%20Name%2
2":["Manual%20%20Vision%20OS/2.x"]}},{"_g":{"%22Orders%20Fact%22.%22Quan
tity%20Ordered%22":[216]} ... }}
User clicks on the
ADFContextualEvent action
link, triggering the event and
enclosing the QDR payload
3
ADF eventMap registers a
listener for the event, and a
handler to process the QDR
public void receiveBiQDREvent(String
incomingPayload) {
int index0 =
incomingPayload.indexOf("%22Warehouses%20Dim%22.%22
Warehouse%20Name%22");
int index1 =
incomingPayload.indexOf("]}", index0);
...
index0 =
incomingPayload.indexOf("%22Products%20Dim%22.%22Prod
uct%20ID%22");
index1 =
incomingPayload.indexOf("]}", index0);
Handler reads the
payload, parses the QDR
and sets required object
attribute values
25. Adding BI Content to Oracle WebCenter Portal
• WebCenter Portal is a part of WebCenter Suite for creating portals and “spaces”
• Leverages rest of WebCenter suite for content management, web 2.0-style collaboration

28. Enabling ADF Applications for Portal : Framework and OBIEE
•
•
•
•
OBIEE connection needs to be set up as per regular ADF / OBIEE integration
Install all required extensions for OBIEE, and for Portal : Framework
Add entry in the default-catalog.xml file to register Presentation Services catalog
Ensure pages containing OBIEE content are secured, so credentials passed to
Presentation Server for browsing the catalog
• Create JSP page using Portal : Framework template to include log in and security, page
framework, ability to add content and customize etc
