Enterprise View of Your
Organization Through BI –
Regardless of Data Source
Rob Tenhundfeld
Business Intelligence Solution Specialist
Let’s start with a (not so)
simple question….
“How is my new brand doing?”
More specifically, “How much have I sold,
how is it impacting my support operations
and what percentage of my total revenue is
it generating?”

Common Enterprise Information Model
Simplified Logical Model
The Oracle BI server presents as a
logically modeled database enabling the
Common Enterprise Information Model.
This provides powerful calculation,
computation and federation capabilities to
3rd party tools as well as our own.
A Day in the Life of a Query
A Day in the Life of a Query
A logical request comes in asking for




Brand,
Closed Revenue (GL)
Service Requests (Call Center)
Share of Revenue (Derivation)
A Day in the Life of a Query
Oracle BI Server Cache
The Server will check to see if this request
can be fulfilled via a prior request using
Server Cache.
This is an on-demand intelligent shareable
and secure cache that can support:
Subsets, Aggregations and Derivations
A Day in the Life of a Query
Navigator
If it is the request is cannot be fulfilled by
cache then the server will intelligently
process the request
A Day in the Life of a Query
Multi-Pass/Sub-Request Logic
Does this analysis require sophisticated
analysis such as an OLAP calculation?
[Revenue Share]
The Server will determine the best
possible way to provide this
calculation/computation
A Day in the Life of a Query
Fragmentation Optimization
Does this request span across partitions
or silos of data?
[Closed Revenue and Service Requests]
The server will determine based on the
request if it should navigate to both or only
one. It will automatically resolve fan traps.
A Day in the Life of a Query
Aggregate Navigator
Is there an aggregate that can better
satisfy this request versus hitting the
detail?
{Brand Summary Table}
The Server will apply approprate summary
redirection to provide the quickest
response.
A Day in the Life of a Query
Optimized Query Rewrites
What can be function-shipped down to the
database versus performed
/supplemented by the computation
capabilities of the Server.
The server will provide a consistent set of
functionality to the user regardless of
underlying datasource.

Exploiting Native Database Functionality
