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.

December 8, 2021
Sample Request Processing
1. User views a dashboard or submits an Answers request
2. The OBI Presentation Server makes a request to the OBI Server to retrieve the
requested data
3. The OBI Server using the .rpd file, optimizes functions to request the data from the
data sources
4. The OBI Server receives the data from the data sources and processes as necessary
5. The OBI Server passes the data to the OBI Presentation Server
6. The OBI Presentation Server formats the data and sends it to the client

A Day in the Life of a Query
December 8, 2021
A logical request comes in asking for
 Brand,
 Closed Revenue (GL)
 Service Requests (Call Center)
 Share of Revenue (Derivation)
December 8, 2021
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
December 8, 2021
Navigator
If it is the request is cannot be fulfilled by

cache then the server will intelligently
process the request
December 8, 2021
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
December 8, 2021
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.
December 8, 2021
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.
December 8, 2021
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.
December 8, 2021
Cache Services
The request once executed will now be

available to other users as a cache entry.

OBIEE Clustering
OBIEE Clustering Components
• Cluster Controller
– Primary Cluster Controller
– Secondary Cluster Controller
• Clustered BI Servers
• Master BI Server
• BI Scheduler
• Cluster Manager
Failover Mechanisms
Cluster Aware Cache
December 8, 2021
Webcat Replication
• Scenario:
– Instance 1 – Master Instance Sharing Application
– Instance 2, Instance 3 – Secondary Clustered Instances exposed to Users
• ‘Sawrepaj’ setup for the replication on both Windows and Unix environments for
performing replication as below
/shared: Instance1 to Instance2
/shared: Instance1 to Instance3
/users: Instance2 to Instance3
/users: Instance3 to Instance2
• Edit instanceconfig.xml to enable Replication
• Maintain Log Files of Replication
