Oh, yeah the Book…Its Kind of a Big Deal

Released July 19th, 2012

Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g: A Hands-On Tutorial

Haroun Khan, Adrian Ward, & Christian Screen

Published by Packt Publishing, July 2012

Years in the making, 6-months to write…Finally!



Why this OOW Session…not the book

Book is about learning the application’s core end-to-end

Book is a hands-on instruction set with annotations

Blogs often highlight only pieces of new functionality

We know this stuff but the book could only be so leggy

What better way to gap-fit the book and the latest 11g release

Front Runner Enhancements



Oracle Mobile BI HD : iPad Application

iPad Application

Only available with the 11.1.1.6.2 BP 1 (Bundle Patch)

Much Improved over Indicators and 11g iPad app

• Both still available









Exalytics In-Memory Machine “Appliance” - GA

Still an Amazing Hardware / Software Combo

Yes, organizations are making the investment

Infiniband is actually getting popular

What about Failover and High Availability?

Yes, it’s still Middle-Tier



SampleApp V207 : 11.1.1.6.2 BP1

Released August 2012

Highlights features of OBIEE 11g

Automated Report Exporting



BISQLGroupProvider – Integrated Security

Leverage RDBMS Table-based Security

Started in 11.1.1.5 but less buggy in 11.1.1.6.x

The only practical way to move along the FMW / OPSS / BI roadmap

Best practice is to use a 3NF Normalized set of tables, minimum of 3

Database Authentication Provider also potentially an option

Front-End Enhancements



First thing you see…

Customize Global Header with Custom Links

Unfortunately must update template files and potentially InstanceConfig.xml

Favorites

Ties in with Mobile Favorites

BI Publisher versus “The World”

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/bipublisher-11116-newfeatures-1578408.pdf



BI Publisher versus “Itself”

Local Excel File as Data Source

Excel Template Type

Excel Native Output

Report Development Life Cycle Management Utility

Auditing and Monitoring

E-Business Suite Data Level Security

Interactive View

Mobile

Did someone say QlikView killer?

Repository & Administration Tool Enhancements



RPD Presentation Layer

Manage nested child table levels without the “->”

Hide Object If, security Hides object but can still be queried via nqcmd, etc.

Not true object security.



General RPD Enhancements

Exalytics Tuned

Mention Worthy Enhancements



General Enhancements to keep in Mind

Oracle BI Security Diagnostics Helper

Must run and deploy against WLS

Provides information for Oracle Support, mainly around security issues

Install supports existing MDS Schemas

Fusion Middleware still seems to be a silo’d effort though it shouldn’t be

Potentially separate BIPLATFORM from incumbent MDS

Validate the Web Catalog to mitigate inconsistencies

Update Catalog Objects from OBIPS Administration Page

MUD merge and publish in one-step not two – hmmm….

Demo Oracle BI Teamwork Collaboration
