What is OBIEE?What is OBIEE?What is OBIEE?What is OBIEE?OBIEE stands for Oracle Business Intelligence EnterpriseEdition (Formerly known as Siebel analytics). In old fashionlanguage Siebel Analytics is a Data Warehouse that werecoming out of the box with pre configured ETL mappingsfrom source (Siebel CRM) to target (DW)with its reporting

component DASHBOARD.When Oracle Corp. acquired Siebel System and decided tomake Siebel analytics their flagship analytic engine andrenamed it OBIEE (obiee server + ETL engine+ Reporting).

Theres still the basic concept of a BI Server, Presentation Server, RPD and so on, but its now all managed and insome cases hosted, using WebLogic Server, the J2EE application server that Oracle have adopted following theacquisition of BEA.WebLogic together with associated technologies such as OPMN, DMS and ODL are much more prominent and if youre going to be administering an OBIEE 11g system (including running it on your own desktop), youll begetting to know WebLogic pretty well, together with the latest version of Oracle Enterprise Manager.The diagram below shows the high-level architecture for OBIEE 11g, with the diagram showing a single OBIEE BIDomain, a container for a complete, single (and perhaps clustered) installation of OBIEE 11g.

At this high level, components in OBIEE 11g can be divided into two types:

1. Java Components, the parts of OBIEE that are written in J2EE and run directly in the application server. Thesecomponents include BI Publisher, the BI Office plugin, the BI Security Service, BI SOA Services, BI Action Servicesand the JMX MBeans that are used for configuring OBIEE .

2. System Components, which were implemented as Windows services in 10g, and include the BI Server, BIPresentation Server, BI Scheduler and BI Cluster Controller.The Java Components and System Components are managed through a number of tools, including FusionMiddleware Control (aka Enterprise Manager), Weblogic Server Admin Console and OPMN. All of thesecomponents connect to a repository database, which can be any recent Oracle database.

WebLogic installation has at least one admin server, and usually one or more managed servers .1. The Admin Server contains the admin console application, used to administer managed servers, and Fusion

Middleware Control, used to administer OBIEE 11g2. One or more Managed Servers, which contain the J2EE OBIEE applications plus the coreapplication System

Components.The admin server console is generally used to manage WebLogic-level tasks (starting up managed servers,communicating with the node manager etc), whilst the majority of the OBIEE administration is carried out usingFusion Middleware Control (which sometimes gets referred to as Enterprise Manager).

There are some key Fusion Middleware technologies, terminology and utilities that youll need to get to knowwhen starting to work with OBIEE 11g.

1. WebLogic Server (often abbreviated to WLS) : this is the J2EE application server that Oracle uses across the boardfor all their 11g BI applications, such as Essbase 11.1.2, Discoverer 11g, BI Publisher 11g , Real Time Decisions11g. Its also used for the upcoming Fusion ERP applications, and is the default application server that you getwith JDeveloper 11g. In the past its role in OBIEE was performed by OC4J and Oracle Application Server (whichused OC4J under the covers), and both of these in 11g have been replaced by the core WebLogic Server, with

JRockit (as opposed to the Sun JVM) generally used as the JVM (thanks Simon H for the clarification in thecomments).

1. OPMN (or Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server to give it its full name) : You may have first comeacross this in Oracle Application Server 10g, where it was used to start up the various Application Servercomponents (OC4J_BI_Forms, OC4J_Portal etc). Its since been adopted across the technology stack to start,

stop and monitor processes across distributed servers, and its used in OBIEE 11g to do the same for thesystem components (BI Server, BI Presentation Server, BI Scheduler and BI Cluster Controller). You can eitheraccess OPMN through the command line (opmnctl), or Oracles recommended approach is to use a graphicalinterface within Fusion Middleware Control. OPMN is also used in the 11g stack to control Essbase,Discoverer and other BI components, so its a tool thats worth learning.

2. DMS, or Dynamic Monitoring System, works alongside OPMN and provides statistics on the variouscomponents which can be persisted in a database. This will definitely be interesting when it comes toperformance monitoring and optimization for 11g.

3. ODL, Oracle Diagnostic Logging, is a centralized framework for logging. Again, interesting for performance,though not all logs (nqquery.log, for example) are covered by it.

4. JPS (Java Platform Security) and CSF (Credential Store Framework) are just two parts of security in 11g.Security is a big change in 11g with users no longer stored in the RPD (including the Administrator user,which has now gone), and users, roles and groups now managed by WebLogic, linking out to LDAP serversas necessary.

Once the WebLogic Server admin server is up and running, your first step is to log into the WebLogic adminconsole (typically, at http://localhost:7001/console) and navigate to the Server view. You then instruct theNode Manager to start WebLogic managed server, which typically takes a couple of minutes to complete.
