Installation Comments
Comparable to 7.9.6.x in total steps, but most config is now

automatic, like OBIEE (both good and bad)
OBIEE 11.1.1.7 installs WLS 10.3.5; OBIA req 10.3.6
You cannot install OBIA 11g into an existing BI Domain (yet)
Patches are located on OBIA downloads page
IDSP is optional, but requires Essbase in BI domain
Gotchas (Windows)
Make sure WLS node manager is running (Start BI Services
does not launch it)
Patching requires WinZip (for now)
WLS patch calls a *nix command and will fail; workaround is to
apply patches individually

Configuration Manager Comments
Functions both as a DAC and a means to simplify

maintenance in ODI
There
are operations you can do in either CM or ODI and

one should reflect completion in the other*
Not a 1:1 replacement for DAC; some things you can

only do in ODI
Much simpler to learn than DAC (but again, not a 1:1

replacement)
Web-based application with integrated WLS security

should prove valuable in implementations
*from what Ive seen so far

Functional Setup Manager Comments
Very sophisticated documentation for implementing OBIA

Lays out what you need to do
Takes you where need to go to do it (mostly)
Helps track your progress (with included reporting)
FSM is not required

You can complete tasks directly in CM if you know what youre
doing
A task only exists only once no matter how many projects you
create
Projects do not need to be marked 100% complete before ETL
Calling out FSM on slides is helpful, but for

implementation, its better to think of CM + FSM = CM

First Impressions
OBIA 11g feels like a definitive step forward, but it is a

first release, so expect some bummers
Functional Setup Manager will help streamline getting

clients up and running quickly and consistently, but
dont confuse it for a project planning tool, nor an
implementation validation tool.
Architecture is more complicated, but its all Oracle.
Wheres Waldo? If youre used to OBIA 7.9.x,

everything is therebut finding could be fast or slow.
ODI still too soon to tell.

Oracles Architecture Slide

(without Indirect Spend Planning)
19
Configuration Manager URL

= host:9704/biacm
Login = administrator user

defined in OBIA configuration
20
Overview screen: nothing to

display (yet)
21
Click + to define a source

system
22
Pick the right source

version and give it a name/
number
23
Current release only

supports Global context
JDBC connectivity to the

source system
24
Define the writable folder

where the ETL csv files are
stored
25
Source is created and

visible in Config Manager
26
Target is created during

install but name can be
edited
27
Created during install but

can be edited if needed
28
Source created in ODI as a

database
29
and as a file location

folder.
30
The logical architecture

contains the path location
31
Source is created in
multiple places, so CM
simplifies the config and
makes it more reliable
32
Enable the applications

licensed by the client
33
Conformed offerings are

also enabled
34
This allows an offering to be

configured in this system
35
You can also enable/disable

offerings by source
36
New language feature will

ETL ERP data stored in
other languages
37
This screen just lets you set

currency names, not how to
configure currency ETL
38
No load plans yet; first step

is to create domain LP
39
Set the type to be a domain

LP for the source desired
40
Choose which fact groups

to generate domain values
41
Another view showing just

what you selected
42
You can save & generate,

or just save
43
and generate from this

screenLP is generating
44
Its running
45
and is now complete.
46
You can now see the LP in

ODI under Generated
Load Plans
47
Now execute the LP from

CM (or ODI)
48
LP is started, but not

completed yet
49
LP has now completed and

domains are now
populated in Functional
Setup Manager
50
You can see details of the

LP execution in ODI
51
Perform Functional
Configuration next
And now the Overview

dashboard reflects activity
52
Getting Started screen links

to more details on offerings
53
Configure offerings for what

you want to actually deploy
Must check both parent and

child nodes (parent first)
54
No projects; create a new

implementation project
55
Basic name, owner, and

date info about the project
56
Include (or exclude)

offerings in your project
57
Project is created with a task list;

tasks are universal, meaning a
single task can appear in multiple
projects but only needs to be
completed once
58
Expanding the window and

FinA grouping shows all tasks
Click a Go to Task icon to

work on that task
59
This task is informational;

click on ? for more info
60
Which takes you the right

page in the manual
61
Some tasks take you to CM

to modify a parameter value
62
This will change the start

date for the time dim
63
Clicking Done closes the

CM screen and goes back
to the task list
64
You can change the status of a task

by clicking on the blue square
Task status is a manual

affair; FSM is not smart
65
Task is complete and auto

assigned to current user
66
You can assign tasks and

due dates to any user
67
identified in the WLS

security domain
68
Multiple tasks completed

and assigned
69
The project overview shows

tasks by date/status
70
the status of assigned

tasks in a task grouping
71
and assigned tasks by

user.
72
After functional setup is done, a second

load plan needs to be generated
73
This load plan will cover the

full load process
74
Like before, select the fact

groups to be included
75
Zero rows in one of the two

DW fact tables to be loaded
76
Load plan generated in ODI

to run full AP load
You can inspect and monitor
the entire process here
77
Load has been started and

is executing
78
After several restarts to fix

errors, the load plan completes
79
There are now rows of data

in both AP fact tables
