21. Rolta TUSC page 20 WHY WOULD I NEED TO CUSTOMIZE THE BI APPLICATIONS? Question:

22. Rolta TUSC page 21 DASHBOARDS& REPORTS Prebuilt best practice library “One size does NOT fit all” SUBJECT AREAS Many metrics and dimensional attributes not surfaced by prebuilt dashboards and reports Possibilities are endless Incremental work to build exponential content from this foundation More than just dashboards and reports Value of BI Apps lies under the surface

23. Rolta TUSC page 22 Some Reasons to Customize BI Applications  Modify out-of-the-box analytics to meet your business analysis needs – Adding new facts, dimensions, hierachies – Re-format analytic reports to meet user demands – Add additional comparisons  Ensure the quality and completeness of your analysis – Include flex-fields in your analysis – Ensuring all necessary EBS data is included – Confirm the mappings of segments, flex-fields, etc.  Add additional data to your analysis – Include other (non-EBS) data sources to extend analysis – Or, even feed ERP data from unsupported data sources

24. Rolta TUSC page 23 HOW DO I CUSTOMIZE THE BI APPLICATIONS? Question:

25. Rolta TUSC page 24 Typical Effort & Customization balance Extension of DW Schema for extension columns, additional tables, aggregates, indices, etc. Extension of ETL for extension columns, descriptive flexfields, additional tables, etc. Additional derived metrics, custom drill paths, exposing extensions in physical, logical and presentation layer, etc. Additional dashboards and reports, guided and conditional navigations, iBots, etc. Level of Effort Degree of Customization Easy Moderate Intermediate Involved Dashboards & Reports OBIEE Metadata DW Schema ETL

26. Rolta TUSC page 25 Customizing Dashboards & Reports  Web-based Dashboard Editor  Answers for reports and analytics  Chart & graph formatting  Tabular reporting  BI Publisher available too  Modifications typically made to support your business processes and analytical needs

28. Rolta TUSC page 27 Customizing the DW Schema  Star schema format, for DW- type performance  Subject matter focused stars, in data mart fashion  Thousands of tables and 10’s of thousands of columns  Already houses much of your ERP data, some not even exposed in pre-built reports  DW customizations require both metadata and dashboard/report modifications to use data

29. Rolta TUSC page 28 Customizing ETL Code  ETL architecture facilities ease of modification – Source Dependent layer has knowledge of ERP data source – Staging Tables provide standard format – Source Independent has none – Universal Adapter allows you to create ETL from any data source  ETL tool used to modify mappings – Informatica or Oracle Data Integrator (limited)  ETL additions must be exposed in the DAC (Data Warehouse Administration Console)  ETL additions/changes may require DW, Metadata and report mods

30.
