Preinstallation and Deployment Requirements
for Oracle BI Applications
2
[3T
] his chapter describes the preinstallation and deployment requirements for Oracle BI
Applications.
2.1.2 Why Use a Separate Database for the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse?
Although it is technically possible to put the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse in
the same database as the transactional database, it is not recommended for
performance reasons. The transactional database is structured as an online transaction
processing (OLTP) database, whereas the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse is
structured as an online analytical processing (OLAP) database, each optimized for its
own purpose. The reasons for not combining the two databases are the following:
Oracle BI Applications on Oracle databases support only binary sorting. If you are
running an Oracle client, do one of the following:
These settings are required for adequate performance from the dedicated Web
client.
On the server side, edit the listener.ora file. Under the particular SID_LIST entry,
modify SID_DESC as follows:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
SID_LIST =
SID_DESC = (SDU=16384)(TDU=16384)
ORACLE_HOME = /.....)
SID_NAME = SOLAP)
)
)

For this release of Oracle BI Applications, the following components are supported
only on Oracle Database Enterprise Edition:
For the specific version of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition supported for this
release of Oracle BI Applications, go to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported
System Configurations page at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-cert
ification-100350.html and see System Requirements and Supported Platforms.
The Oracle Database Enterprise Edition must be configured with UNICODE.
The Business Analytics Warehouse, BI Applications Components Repository, and
Oracle Data Integrator Repository can be installed on different database servers.
The Oracle Data Integrator Master and Work repositories are installed into the
same schema.
Review Section 2.1.1, "Guidelines for Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse
Databases," for information about database requirements for the Business
Analytics Warehouse.
Before you run the Business Analytics Applications Suite RCU, note the following
points:
On Windows machines, make sure that you unzip the downloaded RCU .zip file
into a directory that does not have spaces in the directory path.
The RCU uses .dmp files to create the required schemas. You must copy the .dmp
files for each schema to a directory with global write access on the appropriate
database server machines. (RCU writes log files to this directory.) The .dmp files
are located in BIA_RCU_HOME/rcu/integration/biapps/schema.
To create schemas with RCU on Oracle databases, you must possess the DBA
privilege and be logged in as SYSDBA (for example, as user SYS, with the SYSDBA
role selected).
If you are creating schemas on different databases, then you will need to run RCU
multiple times, once for each database connections, because the database
connections are different for the different database servers.
2.
UNIX:
./rcu
Windows:
rcu.bat
3.
4.
On the Create Repository screen, select Create, and then click Next.
5.
On the Database Connection Details screen, specify the connection details for the
database in which you want to store the schemas. Note that you must possess the
DBA privilege and be logged in as SYSDBA (for example, as user SYS).
Specify the following database connection details:
Field Name
Action
Database Type
Host Name
Specify the fully qualified host name of the machine hosting the
database. For example, machine12345.example.com
Port
Service Name
Specify the service name for the database. Typically, the service
name is the same as the global database name.
Username
Specify the user name for the database. The default user name is
SYS. The user must have DBA or SYSDBA privileges.
Password
Role
Select SYSDBA.
6.
7.
On the Select Components screen, near the top of the dialog, select Create a new
Prefix.
The default prefix is DEV. You can change the prefix.
RCU automatically creates the schema owner (schema name) in the format
prefix_schemaname.
Select the following options:
Schema Option
9.
On the Schema Passwords screen, specify and confirm a password for the
schemas, then click Next to proceed to the Custom Variables screen.
Note: The RCU uses .dmp files to create the required schemas.
Before you perform the action in the Custom Variables screen, you
must copy the .dmp files for each schema to a directory with global
write access on the appropriate database server host machine. (RCU
writes log files to this directory). The .dmp files are located in BIA_
RCU_HOME\rcu\integration\biapps\schema.
10. In the Value field in the Custom Variables screen, for each schema enter the
directory path of the folder on the database server that contains the .dmp file.
Note: Do not include the name of the .dmp file in the directory path.
Click Next to proceed to the Map Tablespaces screen.
11. The Map Tablespaces screen displays the default and temporary tablespaces for
Leave the default values for Default Tablespace and Temp Tablespace for each
schema.
b.
Set the temporary tablespace size for the data warehouse tablespaces
according to the values in the table below:
- Click Manage Tablespaces.
- In the left-side navigation panel, select the appropriate tablespace name.

3.3.8 How to Start the BI and Oracle Data Integrator Managed Servers
Note that Oracle BI Applications requires the BI and Oracle Data Integrator Managed
Servers (bi_server1 and odi_server1) to be started using Node Manager. This is
required so that parameters, memory, and JVM arguments are appropriately set. If you
do not start the BI and Oracle Data Integrator Managed Servers, functionality loss and
memory issues can occur in Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager, Functional
Setup Manager, and Oracle Data Integrator.
To ensure that the BI and Oracle Data Integrator Managed Servers are started using
Node Manager, start them using the WebLogic Administration Console user interface.
Do not start the BI and Oracle Data Integrator Managed Servers using the Managed
Server start scripts.
On the Select Installation Type screen, you must select Developer Installation as
the installation type and both options under Developer Installation, that is, ODI
Studio (with local agent) and ODI SDK.
On the Repository Configuration screen, you must select the Skip Repository
Configuration option.
For instructions on installing ODI Studio, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation
Guide for Oracle Data Integrator.

This section explains how to load the financial KFF data for GL#, CAT# and LOC#
KFFs into Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse.
[6]
Enable and setup the VOs for extraction in Oracle BI Applications Configuration
Manager, as specified in Section 5.1, "Using Oracle BI Applications Configuration
Manager to Configure Cloud Extract".
2.
Configure the ODI repository in Oracle Data Integrator, as specified in Section 5.2,
"Using ODI to Set Up Key Flex Fields".
3.

steps in Section 5.3, "Additional Steps for Fusion Financials Implementations".
2.
Click Add to display the Add Data Store dialog, specify the details, then click Save
and Close.
Setting Up Key Flex Fields for Financials Cloud Adaptor 5-1
3.
To enable VOs for extraction, select the parent Offering, Functional Area, FG/DG,
or individual VO.
For example, the screenshot below shows the parent Oracle Custom Analytics.
4.
For the GL# KFF, you must add the BI Flattened VO along with the segment
VOs generated for the segment labels mapped to BI Objects in your Fusion
setup.
The BI Flattened VO name for GL# that needs to be added is
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_BI_Account_VI.
The VOs generated for segment labels FA_COST_CTR (mapped to Dim Cost
Center), GL_ACCOUNT (mapped to Dim Natural Account Segment), and
GL_BALANCING (mapped to Dim Balancing Segment) are known prior.
You must add the following VOs:
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREE_VS_FA_COST_CTR_VI
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREECODE_VS_FA_COST_CTR_VI
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREE_VS_GL_BALANCING_VI
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREECODE_VS_GL_BALANCING_VI
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREE_VS_GL_ACCOUNT_VI
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREECODE_VS_GL_ACCOUNT_VI
Note: When you add the TREECODE VOs listed above, you must enable the
'Disable Effective date filter' option.
The VOs generated for any segment label apart from the 3 mentioned in the
previous point and mapped to the BI Object Dim GL Segmentx are not
known before hand as the VO names depends on the segment label. Therefore,
you must add the VO names based on the naming pattern given below.
If the segment is a tree segment (if you have created hierarchies for value sets
used for those segments), then the VOs are named as follows:
- FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREE_VS_<segment label>_VI
- FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREECODE_VS_<segment label>_
VI
If the segment is a non tree segment (if you have NOT created hierarchies for
value sets used for those segments), then the VOs are named as follows:
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_VS_<segment label>_VI
For example:
Table 51
Segment Label
VO Name
PRODUCT
Tree
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_
TREE_VS_PRODUCT_VI
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_
TREECODE_VS_PRODUCT_VI
ORG
Non Tree
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_
VS_ORG_VI
Note: When you add TREECODE VOs, you must enable the 'Disable Effective
date filter' option.
For the CAT# and LOC# KFFs, you will need to add the BI Flattened VO for
each KFF.
The BI Flattened VO name for CAT# that needs to be added is
FscmTopModelAM.CategoryBIAM.FLEX_BI_Category_VI.
The BI Flattened VO name for LOC# that needs to be added is
FscmTopModelAM.LocationBIAM.FLEX_BI_Location_VI.
5.
Once you have added these VOs and completed the extraction process, the data
files for these VOs will be downloaded into the physical location configured for
DS_FUSION10_REPLSTG_FILES logical schema in ODI.
6.
The files generated for GL# segment labels mapped to Dim GL Segmentx (Dim
GL Segment 1-10) will have corresponding pre seeded data stores using a generic
naming convention in ODI. The next step is to rename the corresponding files with
appropriate file names so that they can load the corresponding data stores. For
reference, the data stores seeded in ODI are shown in the screenshot below.
7.
The mapping between the files generated and the new file names corresponding to
the data stores is based on the segment label to BI Object mapping and setup for
that segment (tree v/s non tree).
Taking the same example as mentioned in the previous steps PRODUCT label is
mapped to Dim GL Segment 1 and is a tree segment and ORG label is mapped to
Dim GL Segment2 and is a non tree segment, then the mapping between the
generated files and the new files will be:
Table 52
File Generated
File_
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_
TREE_VS_PRODUCT_VI
File_FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_
TREE_VS_GL_SEGMENT1_VI

TREECODE_VS_PRODUCT_VI

TREECODE_VS_GL_SEGMENT1_VI
File_
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_
VS_ORG_VI
File_FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_
VS_GL_SEGMENT2_VI
8.
Note: Create the config file in the same platform (Windows or Linux) where you
will be eventually saving this file. Avoid copy and paste from one platform to the
other. This will avoid issues regarding special characters in text files when crossing
different platforms.
For GL# KFF, check the csv file generated for the BI Flattened VO for the list of
additional columns for each segment - file_fscmtopmodelam_accountbiam_flex_
bi_account_vi%.csv.
These segment columns end with _ or _c. For example, FA_COST_CTR_ and
FA_COST_CTR_c, PRODUCT_ and PRODUCT_c.
You need to add these new columns in the file data store and the VO data store in
ODI.
The file data store is located in the path shown in the screen shot below.
2.
Add the new columns to the data store with the default data type of String (50,50)
for all columns.
For example, new columns added in FILE_FSCMTOPMODELAM_
ACCOUNTBIAM_FLEX_BI_ACCOUNT_VI.
3.
Similarly, if you have CAT# KFF or LOC# KFF, then make equivalent updates.
For CAT# KFF, check the csv file generated for the BI Flattened VO for the list of
additional columns for each segment - file_fscmtopmodelam_categorybiam_
flex_bi_category_vi%.csv. These segment columns end with _ or _c. For
example, BASED_CATEGORY_, MINOR_CATEGORY_.
Setting Up Key Flex Fields for Financials Cloud Adaptor 5-5
For LOC# KFF, check the csv file generated for the BI Flattened VO for the list of
additional columns for each segment - file_fscmtopmodelam_locationbiam_flex_
bi_location_vi%.csv. These segment columns end with _ or _c.

- LOC#KFF VO data store: FscmTopModelAM.LocationBIAM.FLEX_BI_Location_
VI
6.
For newly added columns in both the file data store and VO data store, set the
Flexfield value for 'OBI SDS Column Short Name'.
The value should be the same as the column name. Also ensure that the Flexfield
value Odi Populate Column in SDS is set to Y for these columns.
7.
8.

When you have added the columns in the appropriate data stores, map the
columns in the corresponding ODI mappings to load the data.
10. For the GL# KFF, edit the FTS mapping shown below to map these new columns.
11. Create a one-to-one mapping between the segment columns as shown below.
12. Save the changes, then regenerate the underlying scenario for the package.
13. Similarly, if you have CAT# KFF or LOC# KFF, then edit the corresponding FTS
14. Save the changes, and regenerate the underlying scenarios for the packages.
15. Edit the SDE mapping for GL# KFF to map these new columns to corresponding

21. Save the changes, and regenerate the underlying scenarios for the packages.
22. Before generating a load plan for execution, enable FTS and SDE scenarios
For SDE scenarios, edit the 3 SDE Dims GLSEG_DIM FUSION_1_0 load plan
component. This load plan component will be located in the path BIAPPS Load
Plan Load Plan Dev Components SDE FUSION_1_0.
24. For this load plan component, enable the main Parallel branch and then disable
enable the following scenarios in the LP component and disable the remaining
steps:
- SDE_FUSION_GLSEGMENTDIMENSIONHIERARCHY_SEGMENT1
- SDE_FUSION_GLSEGMENTDIMENSION_TREE_SEGMENT1
- SDE_FUSION_GLSEGMENTDIMENSION_SEGMENT2
If Dim GL Segmentx is mapped to a tree segment label in Fusion, then you
enable:
- SDE_FUSION_GLSEGMENTDIMENSIONHIERARCHY_SEGMENTx
- SDE_FUSION_GLSEGMENTDIMENSION_TREE_SEGMENTx
If Dim GL Segmentx is mapped to a non tree segment label in Fusion, then you
enable:
- SDE_FUSION_GLSEGMENTDIMENSION_SEGMENTx
The screen shot below shows an example modified Load Plan Component.
26. Generate a load plan based on your offering and the modules implemented.
In the generated load plan, verify that your settings on the FTS and SDE load plan
components were carried over accordingly.
In ODI Studio, locate the following two FTS Fusion mappings in the ODI
Repository:
FTS_FUSION_FscmTopModelAM.FinGlInquiryBalancesAM.BalanceFullPVO
FTS_FUSION_FscmTopModelAM.FinGlInquiryBalancesAM.BalancePVO
The FTS mappings are located in the ODI repository under the folder Mappings SDE_FUSION_V1_ADAPTOR.

Deploying the ODI Repository for Non-Oracle
Source Databases
This chapter provides information about deploying the ODI Repository for non-Oracle source databases.
During installation and setup of Oracle BI Applications, if your source database is
Oracle, then an instance of the ODI Repository is automatically deployed and no
further setup steps are required. If your source database is MS SQL Server, UDB DB2,
or UDB 400, then you must perform the configuration steps in this section to deploy a
new instance of the ODI Repository.
If you have multiple sources and one or more of the source databases is non-Oracle,
you need to follow the procedures in this section for all source databases, including
any Oracle source databases.
Follow these steps in the order specified:
1.
Export security settings from the original ODI repository by following the steps in
Section 6.1, "Exporting Security Settings from Original ODI Repository".
2.
Create a new master ODI repository by following the steps in Section 6.2,
"Creating a New Master Repository".
3.
Connect to the new master ODI repository by following the steps in Section 6.3,
"Connecting to the New Master Repository".
4.
Create a new work repository by following the steps in Section 6.4, "Creating a
New Work Repository".
5.
Import source adapter metadata content by following the steps in Section 6.5,
"Importing Source Adapter Metadata Content into the New ODI Repository".
6.
7.
Import security settings into the ODI repository by following the steps in
Section 6.7, "Importing Security Settings Into the ODI Repository".
8.
Configure the servers by following the steps in Section 6.8, "Configure the Data
Servers".
9.
Note: After you perform these procedures for a particular source and
you then want to add a new source, you only need to perform the
steps in Section 6.5, "Importing Source Adapter Metadata Content into
the New ODI Repository." This is true regardless of the database
technology of the second source.
For example, if you have a PeopleSoft 9.0 source on a SQL Server
database, then you would perform the steps in Section 6.1 through
Section 6.8. If you then wanted to add a second source, for example
Siebel 8.1 (on an Oracle, DB2, or SQL Server database), you would
only need to perform the steps in Section 6.5.

environment variable and path:
$USER_HOME/oraInventory
If this location is not appropriate for your environment,
enter a new path for the location of the inventory directory.
Note that the inventory directory will eventually contain
many files, including log files for each Oracle software
installation you perform on this machine.
B.3 Welcome
This page introduces you to the Oracle Fusion Middleware installer and provides two
important pieces of information:
A navigation pane on the left that summarizes the tasks the installer will help you
complete. Each item in the navigation pane represents a specific installer screen
that will prompt you for information required to install the software.
Information about any prerequisites you might need to perform before continuing
with the installation.
Review the information on this screen carefully to be sure you have performed all the
necessary prerequisites.
If you are not sure about any of the prerequisite tasks, refer to the Oracle Fusion
Middleware Installation Planning Guide, as well as the for the specific Oracle Fusion
Middleware software you are about to install.
Security Updates
Description
Software Updates
If you do not want to register for security updates or if you do not have a My Oracle
Support account, then leave all the fields on this screen empty. You will be prompted
to confirm your selection; click Yes in the dialog box.
Description
Select this option to skip this screen. The installer will not
check for updates that might be applicable to the current
product installation.
Depending upon the type of installation you are performing one or more of the
fields shown here might not appear on this screen. Each Fusion Middleware
component has different requirements for determining where the software is
installed.
If you are installing a Patch Set, then you must specify an existing Middleware
home that contains the Oracle home that will be patched.
If you are performing an installation on a Windows operating system, be sure that
your directory paths are valid and do not contain double backslashes (\\).
Installation Location
Field
Description
Oracle Middleware
Home Location
Use this field to specify the location of your Oracle Middleware home
directory.
Oracle Home
Directory
The Oracle home directory is where your products will be installed. All
software binaries will reside in this directory, and no runtime process
can write to this directory.
Specify the directory inside the Oracle Middleware home where you
want to install your products, but note the following:
WebLogic Server
Location
The directory name for your WebLogic Server home. This directory
will automatically be created inside the Middleware home. The default
name for this directory is "wlserver_" followed by the version number.
For example, wlserver_10.3.
Oracle Instance
Location
Enter the absolute path to the location where you want to create the
Oracle Instance directory. The installer creates the Oracle Instance
directory using the location you enter in this field and using the name
you enter in the Oracle Instance Name field. Do not enter a path to an
existing directory that contains filesif you enter a path to an existing
directory, that directory must be empty.
The installer installs the component's configuration files and runtime
processes in the Oracle Instance directory. Runtime components will
write only to this directory. You can identify any location on your
system for the Oracle Instance directoryit does not have to reside
inside the Oracle Middleware Home directory.
Application Server
Field
Description
Oracle Instance
Name
Enter a name for the Oracle Instance directory. The installer uses the
name you enter in this field to create the Oracle Instance directory at
the location you specify in the Oracle Instance Location field. This
directory is commonly referred to as ORACLE_INSTANCE.
Instance names are important because Oracle Fusion Middleware uses
them to uniquely identify instances. If you install multiple Oracle
Fusion Middleware instances on the same computer, for example, an
Oracle Identity Management instance and an Oracle WebLogic Server
instance, you must give them different names.
The name you enter for the Oracle Instance directory must:
Location
For more information about the Middleware home and the Oracle home requirements,
see "Oracle Fusion Middleware Directory Structure and Concepts" in the Oracle Fusion
Middleware Installation Planning Guide.
If the installer detects a Middleware home with Oracle WebLogic Server installed,
then this is the application server that will be used. All other fields in this screen
will be inactive.
If the installer detects a Middleware home without an Oracle WebLogic Server
installed, you must select one of the application server options and then provide
its location in the Application Server Location field.
If the installer does not detect a Middleware home directory, the "WebLogic
Server" option will be inactive. You must select "WebSphere" and then provide the
location of your IBM WebSphere in the Application Server Location field.
B.9 Summary
This screen summarizes the selections you have made during the installation or
configuration session.
Note that some Oracle Fusion Middleware installers allow you to install and configure
the products as part of the installation process. As a result, the installation summary
page is sometimes referred to as the configuration summary page.
In either case, this screen provides the following information:

Generating DDL and Assigning Tablespaces to
Tables and Indexes
D.1 Overview
The Business Analytics Warehouse tables are automatically deployed during the
installation process when the Business Analytics Applications Suite Repository
Creation Utility (RCU) executes a shipped DDL script. The RCU does not prompt for
which tablespace to assign to the individual tables and related indexes nor does it
provide a mechanism for you to alter the shipped DDL. To introduce changes to the
Business Analytics Warehouse data model, you use ODI to generate a new DDL script.
You may want to regenerate the Business Analytics Warehouse DDL for the following
reasons:
You may want to modify the Business Analytics Warehouse, either by modifying
existing tables or creating new ones.
You may want to have separate development environments. In this case you will
need to use ODI to generate the DDL to be executed in these environments to
deploy the Business Analytics Warehouse tables rather than run the RCU for each
environment.
The default tablespace assigned to the Business Analytics Warehouse database
user is used for all tables and indexes when those objects are created by the RCU.
You may want to assign different tablespaces to the DW tables other than the
default tablespace associated with the database user.
If a patch or upgrade is applied that alters an ODI data store or introduces a new
ODI data store, the corresponding database table will need to be altered or created.
You can make changes directly in the database but these changes need to be
synchronized with the ODI Repository. This is done by running the Oracle BI
Applications reverse knowledge module (RKM) to bring in the changes into ODI. If
this RKM is not run, ODI will not be aware of these changes, which can lead to
problems when populating the affected warehouse table.
2.
In the Projects editor, expand the following folders: Components, DW, Oracle,
Generate DW DDL.
3.
Option
Description
CREATE_SCRIPT_FILE
If set to True, this will create a .sql file with the DDL script.
This is useful to see what the changes are. If no value is
provided for the SCRIPT_LOCATION option, the
procedure will create a file in the oracledi directory named
biappsddl.sql.
REFRESH_MODE
FULL or INCREMENTAL
FULL will generate the DDL for the entire data warehouse
using CREATE statements. The Table Mask option is
ignored.
INCREMENTAL will compare the ODI data stores with
the tables in the database. This option should be used with
the Table Mask option because this process can take a very
long time comparing the entire data warehouse.
CHARCLAUSE
RUN_DDL
SCRIPT_LOCATION
TABLE_MASK
Full mode generates a script that creates all tables and sequences, regardless of
what may already be deployed in the database. Incremental mode compares the
ODI and database definition of the tables and columns. Neither mode creates,
modifies or drops indexes.
Add or modify columns:
Add column: ODI allows duplicate column names but you will get an error
when deploying the DDL to the database.
Modify column:
- Column renaming in ODI will be treated as a drop of the existing column
and a new column will be added in the database. This means any existing data
Delete column: You should not delete preconfigured columns. You should
only delete custom columns. If a column is deleted from the ODI Repository, it
will be dropped from the table using an ALTER statement. This is done by
identifying those columns that exist in the database but do not exist in ODI.
(Thus, renaming the column in ODI results in a drop and add statements
being generated).
Add index: ODI allows duplicate index names and duplicate index
definitions, but you will get an error when deploying the DDL on the
database.
Modify index:
- Indexes are only dropped and created during the execution of a load plan.
Indexes are not synchronized by this procedure.
- Changes to preconfigured indexes is fully supported. Changes to uniqueness
and active/inactive are supported. The primary use case is to make a
preconfigured index active or inactive
- Changes to preconfigured index names should be avoided. If a load plan
previously executed and created the index, the index will continue to exist
with the old name in the database. Because ODI is not aware of this index,
problems may occur during the execution of the load plan.
Delete index:
- You should only delete custom indexes and not preconfigured indexes.
- If you do not want a preconfigured index, you should inactivate it.
Add or drop a table: You can add a new table or delete an existing table in OD.
If a table is added in ODI and does not exist in the database, it will be added
using a CREATE TABLE statement.
If a table is deleted from ODI and still exists in the database, a DROP TABLE
statement will be generated.
sequence in ODI for new tables that includes the SCD1_WID column and that
follows the <TABLE_NAME>_S1W naming convention.
If a sequence is added in ODI and does not exist in the database, it will be
added using a CREATE SEQUENCE statement.
Sequences deleted from ODI are not dropped from the database.

3.
Edit the Oracle BI Applications model and assign the OBI Tablespace flexfields
with the tablespace values to be used for these objects. All data warehouse tables
and indexes will use the tablespaces defined here.
4.
5.
(Optional) To assign the tablespace for individual indexes, edit the constraint and
assign the OBI Tablespace flexfield value to match the tablespace name to be used.

After you have configured the Oracle BI Server and are able to access the dashboards,
you need to update the Siebel operational application to view Analytics dashboards
from within the Siebel operational application. Completing the initialization in the
Siebel operational application involves the following processes:
Section E.3, "How to Configure Oracle Business Intelligence with Oracle's Siebel
Web Server Extension (SWSE)"
Section E.4, "Creating a Virtual IP Address for the SWSE and Oracle BI
Presentation Services"
Section E.5, "Testing the Virtual IP Configuration for Oracle Business Intelligence
and the SWSE"

work on the Oracle Business Intelligence user interface.
6.
Go.css
PortalBanner.css
PortalContent.css
Views.css
These new classes are identified in the style sheets. In this version of Oracle Business
Intelligence, new styles and files must be added to the underlying style sheet (for
example, to s_Siebel7). For complete functionality, any custom styles require similar
updating. In addition, views2.css and some other files have been added to the s_
directory. For custom column formatting to work properly, references to font sizes and
families should also be removed from the TD Styles section in PortalBanner.css,
PortalContent.css, Views.css.
Because of these changes to styles, review your deployment's customizations
manually, reapply them, and test them thoroughly to ensure that there are no
problems.
After you have tested them, but before you copy the default views.css files back to the
implementation server, perform the following task on the server to clear the server
caches.
To clear the server caches and restore your default views:
1.
Shut down Oracle Business Intelligence Server, Oracle BI Presentation Service and
IIS.
2.
Remove your custom views.css from the directory where it has been installed.
For example:
$INSTALL\web\app\res\s_Siebel7\b_mozilla_4
or
$INSTALL\OracleBIData\Web.

Where the acronym CSS represents the load-balancer or router used to do the
virtual IP configuration.
Where <virtual domain> is the virtual IP prefix that users enter to navigate to
the Siebel applications (in the preceding example, this is
http://siebel.company.com).

On the network, set up CSS to direct requests from <virtual domain>:84 to <physical
Oracle BI Presentation Services machine>:84.
3.
In the Siebel application, using the Siebel Administration screen, set the NQHost
parameters for Oracle Business Intelligence Symbolic URLs to point to the <virtual
domain>:84, instead of directly to the Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation
Services server physical machine.

Siebel Portal Framework Guide. This topic assumes that you have
successfully built a symbolic URL to link some external content, using
the instructions given in Siebel Portal Framework Guide.
For each Analytical report on a Siebel operational application home page, there is a
symbolic URL record defined that links the home page to the Analytics report. If you
have not already done so, you need to create a new home page and set it up to use a
symbolic URL.
The figure below shows example Inline and IFrame symbolic URL arguments.

Overriding Defaults. You can add user-specific values for these fields, by creating
an extension table to the S_USER table. to store the user-specific defaults for these
fields. Additionally, you can change any of the default values. The metadata for
the following logical table can be modified to include any physical extension table.
SA User.(User)
For instructions, refer to the documentation about configuring tables and columns
for Oracle's Siebel Business Applications.
Setting Provider Information. Typically, the cell phone and the fax numbers in the
Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse do not contain a provider name. Therefore,
the Pager will typically be a numeric value such as 555-483-3843. To append a
provider to this address, use the following guidelines:
If the entire company has the same provider, then you can append the
provider in the column mappings.
If users can have different providers, you need to create an extension table. For
instructions, refer to the documentation about configuring tables and columns
for Oracle's Siebel business applications.
