Overview
The following schema describes the lineage architecture:
In this architecture, three phases are needed for the lineage:
1. OBIEE Metadata Export: From OBIEE, the RPD (Repository) and Web catalogs are exported in file format into a temporary directory.
2. Metadata Consolidation: BIO-EE Export files are consolidated with the ODI metadata (using an ODI package) into lineage tables that are stored in the ODI repository schema. You will use
the zip file obiee_odi_10g_lineage.zip that is provided for this purpose.
3. Lineage Browsing: From OBIEE, a user can browse this consolidated metadata. A predefined RPD and a Web catalog are also provided for this purpose. The lineage report can be inserted in
any existing report.
In this process, the ODI work repository:
Contains the consolidation process and is used to run it

Contains all the Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) processes that load the data warehouse
Hosts the lineage tables
This guide uses the following references:
1. OBIEE_EXPORT_TEMP refers to the directory into which the OBIEE files are exported and from where the files are picked up by ODI.
2. LINEAGE_TEMP refers to the temporary working directory. This directory is used at installation time.

Scenario
Linda works as a database administrator for Global Enterprise. In Global Enterprise, Linda is responsible for performing database management and integration tasks on various resources within the
organization. In particular, Linda is responsible for data loading, transformation, validation, and creating reports using Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE). In one such OBIEE
report, Linda needs to provide links that allow the tracking of the origin of the report’s information through the OBIEE RPD layers and through the ODI integration processes. For this purpose, Linda
implements the OBIEE report-to-source data lineage for ETL processes that are developed with Oracle Data Integrator (ODI).
Examples

Back to Topic List

This section takes you through the configuration of the topology. Two schemas are needed for the metadata consolidation phase:
The ORA_ODI_REPO Oracle logical schema. This schema must point to the Oracle physical schema that contains the tables of the ODI work repository. This schema also contains the lineage
tables. The name of the logical schema must be ORA_ODI_REPO. This schema is used both as source and target in the metadata consolidation phase. OBIEE will also use these tables for
data lineage reporting.
The FILE_BIEE_EXPORT_FILES file logical schema. This schema must point to a file physical schema that represents the OBIEE_EXPORT_TEMP directory. The name of the logical schema
must be FILE_BIEE_EXPORT_FILES. This schema is used both as source and target in the metadata consolidation phase.

Initializing the Lineage Tables

The lineage tables contain the consolidated ODI and OBIEE lineage metadata. They are created in the work repository using an ODI procedure. To initialize the lineage tables, perform the following
steps:
1. In the Projects tree view, expand the project: OBIEE Integration > Load ODI Lineage > Procedures. Select the
Initialize Lineage Environment procedure.
2. Right-click and select Execute. Select the appropriate context, and then click OK in the Execution dialog box. When
the Information dialog box that says Session Started appears, click OK.
Back to Topic List
Compiling the Load Lineage Package

This package consolidates the metadata from three sources: OBIEE Repository, OBIEE Web catalog, and ODI Metadata (models and data flows) into the lineage tables that will be used in the
dashboards.
This package assumes that the Oracle technology is configured for supporting Ordered SQL Joins, which is not the default configuration in ODI. In order not to alter the technology when it is used by
other ODI packages, it is recommended to change the Oracle technology to support Ordered Joins, generate a scenario for this package, and then restore the Oracle technology to its original state.
To compile the load lineage package, perform the following steps:
1.
Click the button to open Topology Manager. Navigate to Oracle technology. Double-click the Oracle
technology node and perform the changes as shown in the following screenshots for the Definition tab and the SQL
tab. Click Apply.
2.
Click the button to open ODI Designer. In the Projects view, select the OBIEE Integration > Load ODI
Lineage > Packages > Load Lineage package. Right-click the Load Lineage package and select Generate
Scenario. Enter the scenario name and version, and then click OK. A new scenario appears under the package.
3. Open Topology Manager. In Topology Manager, you need to restore the Oracle technology to its initial state as
shown below. Click the Definition tab and select Not Ordered in the Reference field. Click the SQL tab and verify
that you have the settings as shown in the screenshot. Click Apply, and then click OK.
Back to Topic List
Importing the Lineage RPD

The OBIEE/ODI Lineage includes an RPD for accessing the ODI lineage tables as well as the ODI repository. This RPD needs to be imported into your existing OBIEE repository.
Note: The method described below can be used to import the Lineage RPD into the OBIEE instance. It is recommended that you contact your OBIEE administrator to import this RPD according to
your practices and methods.
To import the Lineage RPD, perform the following steps:
1. If started, stop the Oracle BI Server and Oracle BI Presentation Server services. Make a backup copy of the repository into which you want to merge the lineage RPD. This file is usually located in t
<OBIEE_HOME>\server\repository directory. In this example, you create a copy of your repository RPD file samplesales.rpd, which is located in C:\OracleBI\server\repository and rename it to
samplesales_old.rpd as shown in the following screenshots:
2. Copy your repository RPD file (in this example, the samplesales.rpd file in the C:\OracleBI\server\repository directory) into the LINEAGE_TEMP directory (C:\lineage_temp).
3. Open a command window, change the directory to LINEAGE_TEMP (C:\lineage_temp) and run the following command to create a UDML file from the odi_repository_archive.rpd file.
<OBIEE_HOME> \Server\Bin\nQUDMLGen
-U <administrator name>
-P <administrator password>
-R odi_repository_archive.rpd
-O odi_repository_archive.udml
-N –Q
This command generates a file called odi_repository_archive.udml containing the UDML definitions for the BI-EE Lineage. In this example, you run the command provided below. Refer to the
screenshot.
C:\OracleBI\server\Bin\nQUDMLGen.exe -U Administrator -P Administrator -R odi_repository_archive.rpd -O odi_repository_archive.udml -N –Q
4. Run the following command from the same command window to merge this UDML file into your existing repository:
<OBIEE_HOME> \Server\Bin\nQUDMLExec
-U <administrator name>
-P <administrator password>
-I odi_repository_archive.udml
-B <your repository RPD file>.rpd
-O <your repository RPD file>_updated.rpd
In this example, you run the command provided below.
Note: For more help on the nQUDMLGen and nQUDMLExec commands, enter these commands with no parameters in the command line. After importing the RPD, you must configure it to point to the
Oracle schema that contains the work repository tables.
C:\OracleBI\server\Bin\nQUDMLExec.exe -U Administrator -P Administrator -I odi_repository_archive.udml -B samplesales.rpd -O samplesales_updated.rp
5. Now you need to restore the repository file <your repository RPD file>_updated.rpd (in this example, samplesales_updated.rpd) in the BI-EE Instance. Copy the new samplesales_updated.rpd f
from the C:\lineage_temp directory to the original directory C:\OracleBI\server\repository. Rename it to samplesales.rpd replacing the existing samplesales.rpd file.
Note: If the Oracle BI Server and Oracle BI Presentation Server services were started in your machine, they need to be stopped before this file is altered, because it will be locked by either Oracle BI
Server or Oracle BI Presentation Server.
6. Start the Oracle BI Administration tool: All Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence > Administration. Open the samplesales.rpd file in the Repository folder. Expand the
ORACLE_ODI_REPOSITORY database in the OBIEE Physical Layer, double-click the Connection Pool node, and edit the Connection Pool to match your ODI work repository configuration. The
following configuration is given for the database whose alias is XE. The schema containing the ODI work repository is REP_TRAININGW (password is REP_TRAININGW) as shown in the following
screenshot. Click OK.
7. Right-click the Physical schema and rename it to match the schema of the ODI Work Repository (REP_TRAININGW) as shown in the screenshot. Click OK to save your changes.
8. Expand the REP_TRAININGW schema and test this updated connection by right-clicking one of the tables of this physical schema and refreshing the row count, as shown below.
Note: Make sure that in the connection pool, the password for user REP_TRAININGW is set to REP_TRAININGW.
9. Right-click the same table again and select View data to view data with the updated row count.
Back to Topic List
Importing the Web Catalog Requests

The OBIEE/ODI Lineage comes with a Web catalog for building your reports on top of the lineage and ODI repository data.
To import the Web catalog requests, perform the following steps:
1. Start Oracle BI Server and Oracle BI Presentation services in your machine. To connect to your Catalog, use the
OBI Catalog Manager. Start the OBI Catalog Manager: Start > All Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence >
Catalog Manager. Click File > Open Catalog. Enter the password for the user Administrator. In this example, the
password is Administrator.
Note: Make sure that the Oracle BI Server and Oracle Presentation Server are up and running before opening the
Catalog.
.2. You need to make a backup copy of the catalog into which you want to add the Web catalog lineage. Select the
catalog, select File > Archive. Name the archive file odi_archive.cat and provide the path to the LINEAGE_TEMP
(C:\lineage_temp) directory as shown in the following screenshots. Click OK.
3. Expand the catalog and select the folder into which you want to import the ODI catalog items (Shared folder). Select File > Unarchive. In the
Unarchive catalog window, enter the Archive File Path, which is the path to the odi_catalog_archive.cat file from the LINEAGE_TEMP directory
(C:\lineage_temp\odi_catalog_archive). Click OK. A new folder called ODI appears in the catalog folder.
Back to Topic List
Copying the Dashboard Images

The prepackaged requests use images that should be copied into the application server that hosts the analytic application.
To copy the dashboard images, perform the following steps:
1. Copy the files called hie.gif and lin.gif from the LINEAGE_TEMP directory (C:\lineage_temp) into the /res subfolder
of the analytic application deployment directory. In your example, the path to the analytic application deployment
directory is C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics.
Back to Topic List

This example walks you through the steps to refresh the Lineage.
Mapping the ODI Models to the OBIEE Physical Schemas

Exporting the OBIEE Repository Documentation to a Text File
Exporting the OBIEE Web Catalog Report to a Text File
Executing the ODI Load Lineage Scenario
Mapping the ODI Models to the OBIEE Physical Schemas
The lineage links the ODI models metadata and the OBIEE physical schema metadata using three flexfields: BI Physical Schema, BI Physical DB, and BI Physical Catalog (Microsoft SQL Server
only).
To map the ODI models to the OBIEE physical schemas, perform the following steps:
1. Open ODI Designer. In the Models view, for each model for which you want to build the lineage, update the flexfield
values according to the BI-EE configuration. In this example, these values are set on the Oracle_Sales_Warehouse
model, which uses the logical schema CUST_DW_DEV. Double-click the Oracle_Sales_Warehouse model, verify
that the settings are the same as shown in the following screenshot, and then click the FlexFields tab.
2. Set the value of the BI Physical DB flexfield to the name of the database that contains the physical schema in the
BI-EE Physical layer. In this example, this value is XE. Set the value of the BI Physical Schema flexfield to the
name of the physical schema that contains the model’s tables in the BI-EE Physical layer. In this example, this is
CUST_DW_DEV. Refer to the following screenshot. Click OK to save the configuration.
Note: For Microsoft SQL Server databases, in addition, you need to set the value of the BI Physical Catalog
flexfield to the name of the Catalog that contains the physical schema in the BI-EE Physical layer.
Back to Topic List
Exporting the OBIEE Repository Documentation to a Text File

To consolidate the OBIEE metadata in the lineage tables, you need to export it from the OBIEE repository into the OBIEE_EXPORT_TEMP folder.
To export the OBIEE repository documentation to a text file, perform the following steps:
1. Open the Oracle BI Administration tool and, if necessary, connect to the repository that you want to include in the lineage. In this example, you
should already be connected to your ORACLE_ODI_REPOSITORY.
2. Select Utilities from Tools. Select the Repository Documentation utility, and then click the Execute button.
3. Save the repository documentation as Repo_doc.txt (with this exact case) in the folder that you have chosen as the OBIEE_EXPORT_TEMP
folder (c:\lineage_temp). Make sure to select Tab-separated values as the file type.
Back to Topic List
Exporting the OBIEE Web Catalog Report to a Text File

BI-EE metadata is not only contained in the repository, but also in the Web catalog. The following operation exports this metadata in a report. To export the OBIEE Web catalog report to a text file,
perform the following steps:
1. Open Oracle BI Catalog Manager and connect to the catalog that contains the reports that you want to include in the lineage.
In this example, this catalog should already be connected. Select the catalog folder containing the reports that you want to
include in the lineage (CUST_DW_DEV). Select Create Report from Tools.
2. Select the columns that you need to include in the report. In this report, you include only the columns shown in the following
screenshot. Save the report as Webcat_Doc.txt (name is case-sensitive) in the OBIEE_EXPORT_TEMP folder
(C:\lineage_temp). Click OK. Preview the report and click OK.
Note: The order of columns included in the report should be exactly the same as shown in the screenshot.
Back to Topic List
Executing the ODI Load Lineage Scenario

This package consolidates the metadata from three sources: OBIEE Repository, OBIEE Web catalog, and ODI Metadata (models and data flows) into the lineage tables that will be used in the
dashboards.
To execute the ODI load lineage scenario, perform the following steps:
1. Open Oracle Data Integrator Designer. Click the Projects view tab.
2. In the Projects view, run the scenario that you generated earlier. Expand: OBIEE Integration > Load ODI Lineage
> Load Lineage > Scenarios. Right-click the LOAD_LINEAGE scenario and select Execute. Click OK. Click OK

under PromptLineage. Click Save.
3. In this dashboard, you can filter using the following:
Origin of the column (ODI Column or OBIEE Logical, Physical, Presentation, or Request Column)
OBIEE Folder/Catalog or ODI Project containing the table and the column
Request or table containing the column
On the Origin menu, select BI Request Column and click the Go button to display the filtered list of columns.
4.
From this request, you can display the Lineage and Hierarchy for each column. The Lineage icon allows you to drill down into a
column lineage. The lineage drills down into the following:
OBIEE Presentation Columns used in a request’s column

OBIEE Logical Columns used in a Presentation Column
OBIEE Physical Columns used in a Presentation Column
The ODI Columns mapping the OBIEE Physical Columns. The ODI source columns are used to load a given ODI target column. This step
can recurse if the source columns are targets for other ODI interfaces.
For each level of the lineage, the dashboard displays the following:
Type, Catalog, Table Name, and Column Name for the (target) column
Type, Catalog, Table Name, and Column Name for the (source) columns
Transformation Expression between the source columns and the target column
For the Amount column, Click the Hierarchy icon and view the Hierarchical Column Lineage. Click Return.
5. You can continue drilling down into the lineage by clicking the Lineage icon in the view. For the same column (Amount), click the Lineage icon
and view the information about columns and expressions used to populate a column. Repeat this step several times until you see the last
