OBIA 7.9.6.

First
irst Look at OBIA HR Analytics

We have installed and configured the OBIA HR 7.9.6.2 for a client and thought of sharing with you the
look and feel of the product. We have done installations for many clients. We get the same old question
what dashboards are actually included in HR Analytics
It was little bit of a challenge setting up OBIA as we need to cross multiple technical hurdles like
installing OBIEE 10g, Informatica 8.6.1 and DAC 10.1.3.4. I am not discussing the installation steps here
as Shahed is already published another document with those details
Running
ing the actual ETL routine needed little more tweaking to ensure all the components like DAC
Client, DAC Server, Informatica Client, Informatica Server, Informatica Repository, Vision R12 talk to
each other. We have a separate paper on this.
After we complete the last step of setting up the correct Connection pools in the delivered
OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd
.rpd we can see the OBIA login screen

Oracle delivers many Business functions but for now we are going to look at one or two areas within
Human Resources. For the purpose of this document we have used the Oracle delivered Vision data
HR area contains the following groups of dash boards

Based on the values provided for the ttwo Prompts - Employee Hierarchy and the Top Level Organisation

tab presents the a bit more detailed information with the ability to drill to the lowest
level of employee

is a new functionality that most of the existing customers managed to build using
custom route. The following shows the employee count to draw
raw attention and with drill capability but I
must say that the
he Deliver BI Calendars developed by Shahed deliver lot more functionality
functional and are fit for
purpose unlike the ones below.

When clicked on absence the employee level details are shown

The absence calendar data can be further filtered using the additional options given to present more
meaningful data

Rather than going through all the other areas of Human Resources, for now I will introduce just one
more section which is the most interest
interesting of all - Foundation Intelligence Library

This area look to be a treasure chest but the only issue is what to make of the treasure as there are so
many advanced measures and wonder how many customers really understand what these mean.
Nevertheless lets have a quick view of Absence Gallery
There are a series of tabs within each of the galleries

I think the best part is on the last tab which shows lot more dash boards that are not set to visible out of
box

There is a lot of functionality that is delivered as part of OBIA but wonder how many customers have
reached this stage of analytical reporting
reporting, the progression being transactional, exceptions and
analytical.
