Family owned, 50 yrs old, $1b+ manufacturing company in Atlanta, GA Several manufacturing plants using systems like JD Edwards, Demantra, EPM/Planning and Legacy/Main frame systems ODS/Crystal Reports footprint First formal DW initiative OBIEE, ODI and BIP as tech stack Need for Manufacturing, Plant Shop floor analytics, job profitability and Sales Analytics in first go EPM-Workspace Integration Highly formatted and complex BI Publisher reports Better insights to profitability and cost to service a customer Energy Services Company publicly traded, ~$2b in Houston, TX New EBS R12 implementation in 4 divisions, HFM, Planning, one div replacing SAP First formal DW initiative OBIEE and BI Applications purchased Need for HR, SCM/Procurement, Finance Analytics Go-live in Phases such as HR, Fin and SCM Other Energy industry specific applications in use Some SQL Server/Crystal Reports Better view of business across the enterprise
JD Edwards Tables
The JD Edwards table names are quite cryptic This shows that that for building custom OBIEE solutions, deep ERP knowledge is required Need for data modeler, ETL/OBIEE architect and developers

Informatica 9.0.1 HF2 is the Data Integration / ETL Platform Informatica 8.6.x going out of support by year end
Do not install Informatica in a directory with space in the name, for e.g. do not install in D:\Program Files\INFA

BI Apps on Exadata
On larger tables like - AP_AE_LINES_ALL, avoid PARALLEL query option, the difference in time observed was from 4 hours to 2 minutes. Disable or drop all indexes with distinct_keys = 1 (b-tree and bitmaps) reason being such indexes are ineffective, with one unique value. So it's highly unlikely that Optimizer would ever consider them in building any execution plans, e.g. W_AR_XACT_F_F63,
W_GL_REVN_F_F35, W_GL_REVN_F_F24
Avoid query transformation into a union-all query and scanning all the big tables twice. Here we will need to find a workaround to avoid the union-all to scan the tables once or find a way to reduce full scanning of the tables (partitioning/index etc). e.g table W_GL_ACCOUNT_D 8 mil rows getting scanned without any valid filtering Partitioned tables must have stats at both table and partition level

Enterprise Manager
Role Administration
RPD files now have RPD-specific passwords - used to encrypt the contents. Groups no longer exist in the RPD as objects. Data access security is implemented based on application roles to which a user belongs. Application roles are managed in an external policy store, exist in the RPD, as pointers (references) to the externally managed roles. Users managed in an external authentication provider, no longer in RPD. User objects exist in the RPD, as pointers (references) to the externally managed users.
