Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.8.1 Architecture: Oracle BI Domain



ETL components:
• ODI Console and ODI Agent
• Configuration Manager
• Functional Setup Manager
• Load plan generator Oracle BI EE components:
• Presentation Services, BI Server, presentation catalog, repository (.rpd) file
The Oracle Business Intelligence system logical architecture comprises a single integrated
set of manageable components called the Oracle BI domain. This layer includes the ODI
Console and ODI Agent, Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager, Functional Setup
Manager, and the load plan generator, all of which are hosted on the Oracle WebLogic
Server.
ODI Console is a web application that enables you to view objects in the ODI Repository and
control and monitor ETL processes.
ODI Agent is a Java EE agent, which handles schedules and orchestrates ETL sessions.
Load plan generator (not shown here) is a set of jar files used to create load plans in the ODI
repository. A load plan is an executable object that comprises and organizes the child objects
(referred to as steps) that carry out the ETL process.
Oracle BI Presentation Services is part of the Oracle BI EE platform. It provides processing to
visualize information for end-user consumption, such as analyses and dashboards. It uses a
presentation catalog to store saved content. The BI Applications presentation catalog is
prebuilt with role-based interactive dashboards and analyses to support the deployed Oracle
BI Applications product offerings.

Oracle BI Server is the core server behind Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. It
is an optimized query engine that receives analytical requests, intelligently accesses multiple
physical data sources, generates SQL to query data in the data sources, and then structures
the results to satisfy the requests.
The Oracle BI Applications repository (.rpd) file is a prebuilt Oracle BI repository containing all
the metadata required for the deployed applications. It contains a logical business model
mapped to physical data sources, key performance indicators and metrics definitions, and a
presentation layer that exposes the business model to business users. Oracle BI Server
receives its processing information from this repository.
