OBIEE Assessment Report

This topic contains information about the OBIEE assessment report. The OBIEE assessment assesses both direct database connect and cube workloads, providing comprehensive insights that help in planning the migration process. The input format for the OBIEE assessment is XML.

To view the report of direct database connect or cube workloads, in Reporting Type, select:

  • Direct Database Connect: It refers to querying and retrieving data directly from the database while executing reports or dashboards. This approach ensures the retrieval of real-time data, which is beneficial for dynamic and constantly changing datasets. However, as it directly fetches data from the database, this process may be relatively slow.
  • Cube: Cube is used to store data in multidimensional format within the BI tool. So, instead of querying the database directly, the BI tool retrieves data from the cube. The cube undergoes periodic refreshment at specified intervals, resulting in enhanced performance compared to direct database connect approach. However, it does not provide the latest real-time data.

Highlights

The highlights section gives you a high-level overview of your assessment summary of the analytics performed on the selected workloads including dashboards, reports, publishers, and so on.

Summary

This section highlights the OBIEE report’s components and its inventory. Here, you can see the number of files, tables, business models, subject areas, and so on.

  • Files: Displays the total number of source files.
  • Tables: Displays the total number of tables that are imported from the OBIEE Admin Tool.
  • Business Models: Displays the count of Business Models. Business models simplify the schema.
  • Subject Areas: Displays the count of Subject Areas created in the Presentation Layer. It is a collection of tables relevant to a specific subject.
  • Schemas: Displays the total number of unique schemas imported in the Physical Layer of the Admin Tool. It is a logical view of the database, where:
    • Physical Layer: The physical layer represents the actual data sources such as databases, tables, and columns. Within this layer, connection pools define the connection details to the underlying data sources.
    • Admin Tool: Admin Tool commonly known as Administration Tool or RPD (Repository) Tool, is a powerful desktop application used for creating and managing the metadata layer within an OBIEE system. This layer acts as an abstract layer between the raw data sources and the reporting tools, providing a logical view of the data.
  • Aggregations: Displays the total number of aggregations such as sum, average, etc., within the model or the BI Report.
  • Calculation Measures: Displays the total count of calculation measures used in the OBIEE Admin tool or in the Analytics Server. For example, a formula/ expression/ derivation written in the Admin tool (e.g., Sum(Column A – Column B) as Revenue) qualifies as a calculated measure. Where:
    • Admin Tool: The Admin Tool commonly known as Administration Tool or RPD (Repository) Tool, is a powerful desktop application used for creating and managing the metadata layer within an OBIEE system. This layer acts as an abstract layer between the raw data sources and the reporting tools, providing a logical view of the data.
    • OBIEE Analytics Server: OBIEE Analytics Server is a BI Reporting Tool. After creating your model in the Admin Tool, you deploy it to the BI tool/Analytics Server. Once deployed, you can proceed to create analyses and dashboards for visualization purposes.

Dashboards

This section displays details of the dashboards including the total number of dashboards, valid and invalid dashboards along with the physical databases. The dashboard showcases a comprehensive overview of the report.

  • Total Dashboards: Displays the total number of dashboards in the uploaded artifacts.
  • Valid Dashboards: Displays the count and percentage of valid dashboards. Dashboards that are connected to a valid report are considered valid dashboards.
  • Invalid Dashboards: Displays the count and percentage of invalid dashboards. Dashboards that are not connected to a valid report are considered invalid dashboards.
  • Physical Databases: Displays the total number of physical databases imported into the physical layer.

Reports

This section displays details of the reports including the total number of reports, valid and invalid reports, used and unused reports along with the complexity distribution.

  • Total Reports: Displays the total number of unique reports.
  • Valid Reports: Displays the total number of valid reports. A report is considered valid if the columns defined in the report match or are available in the model.
  • Invalid Reports: Displays the total number of invalid reports. A report is considered invalid if the columns defined in the report do not match or are not available in the model.
  • Used Reports: Displays the total number of reports that are linked to a dashboard.
  • Unused reports: Displays the total number of reports that are not linked to any dashboard.
  • Complexity: Displays the complexity of the report. The reports are categorized into five different complexity levels based on key parameters such as the number of columns, filters, etc.

Publishers

In OBIEE, the Publisher feature provides advanced enterprise reporting functionalities. This section provides information about publisher models and publisher reports, where:

  • Publisher models are objects that are used to manage data using a set of instructions such as dataset name, dataset type, variables, etc.
  • Publisher reports are reports that are not based on the RPD model and possess their own model built on the Analytics server.
  • Total Publisher Model: Displays the total number of publisher models. Publisher models are used for creating ad hoc reporting and it is not created using RPD.
  • Used Models: Displays the total number of models linked to a report.
  • Unused Models: Displays the total number of models that are not linked to any report.
  • Total Publisher Reports: Provides the total number of publisher reports. These reports are based on the Publisher models rather than the RPD.
  • Valid Reports: Displays the total number of valid reports. A report is considered valid if the columns defined in the report match or are available in the model.
  • Invalid Reports: Displays the total number of invalid reports. A report is considered invalid if the columns defined in the report do not match or are not available in the model.

Presentation Tables

This section displays details of the presentation tables. The presentation tables showcase the processed data or result sets. Here, you can see the total number of presentation tables, used and unused tables along with their distribution across the subject areas.

  • Total Presentation Tables: Displays the total number of presentation tables used in the Logical layer of the RPD model.
  • Used Tables: Displays the total count of tables used in reports across the Analytics server.
  • Unused Tables: Displays the total number of tables that are not used in reports across the Analytics server.
  • Subject Areas: Lists the top 5 subject areas along with the table count in the Presentation layer, arranged in descending order based on the table count.

Lineage

End-to-end data and process lineage identify the complete dependency structure through interactive and drill-down options to the last level.

Typically, even within one line of business, multiple data sources, entry points, ETL tools, and orchestration mechanisms exist. Decoding this complex data web and translating it into a simple visual flow can be extremely challenging during large-scale modernization programs. The visual lineage graph adds tremendous value and helps define the roadmap to the modern data architecture. It deep dives into all the existing flows, like Autosys jobs, applications, ETL scripts, BTEQ/Shell (KSH) scripts, procedures, input and output tables, and provides integrated insights. These insights help data teams make strategic decisions with greater accuracy and completeness. Enterprises can proactively leverage integrated analysis to mitigate the risks associated with migration and avoid business disruption.

Now, let’s see how you can efficiently manage lineage.

To view the required lineage, choose preferred reports, entities, etc. from the Select drop-down list (All/ Dashboard/ Entity/ Report) or enter the keyword in the Search Keywords field and then click the Search icon.

In addition, the filter search icon allows you to include or exclude particular nodes to obtain the required dependency structure. You can also choose the direction of the lineage. By default, the Dependency Direction is Left to Right Hierarchy. You can also choose Right to Left Hierarchy or Bidirectional dependency directions as required. Moreover, you can also increase the Hierarchy Levels to nth level.

Lineage facilitates you visualize how your selected nodes are connected and depend on each other. The nodes and their connecting edges (relationships) help you to understand the overall structure and dependencies.

Manage Lineage

This feature enables you to view and manage your lineage. You can add, modify, or delete nodes and their relationships to generate an accurate representation of the required dependency structure. There are two ways to update the lineage: either using Complete Lineage report or Lineage Template.

Using Complete Lineage report

Follow the below steps to modify the lineage:

  1. Click the Manage Graph icon.
  1. Click Download Complete Lineage to update, add, or delete the nodes and their relationships in the current lineage.
    1. Once the complete lineage report is downloaded, you can make necessary updates such as updating, deleting or adding the nodes and its relationships.
    2. After making the required changes, upload the updated lineage report in Upload to Modify Lineage.
    3. Click Apply to incorporate the updates into the dependency structure.
    4. Generate the required lineage.

    Using Lineage Template

    Follow the below steps to add new nodes and their relationships to the current lineage report:

    1. Click the Manage Graph icon.
    1. Click Download Lineage Template.
    1. Once the lineage template is downloaded, you can add new nodes and relationships in the template.
    2. After making the required changes, upload the template in Upload to Modify Lineage.
    3. Click Apply to incorporate the updates into the complete dependency structure.
    4. Generate the required lineage.

    Important

    To effectively manage lineage, you must adhere to the following rules:

    • Do not modify the column headers or their order in the Complete Lineage report or the Lineage template. The following are the column headers: source_name, source_type, target_name, target_type, relation_type, and database_id.
    • When deleting a row, retain the value in the database_id column and clear all the other column values.
    • When inserting a row, add all the column values except in the database_id column.
    • When updating a row, ensure that all the columns have relevant data.
