This post explains how to setup ibots in OBIEE 11g. In this case, the ibot setup was done by the weblogic OBIEE administrator. ibots are received by the end user and the end user login is integrated to OBIEE 11g from EBS. The limitation on this setup is that the end user can’t create iBots and send it to another user. Only weblogic administrator can login to OBIEE directly and create the ibots.

I came across a requirement where a client wanted to see specific records that had end dates before 30, 60, or 90 days from now. In other words the client wanted to dynamically change the date range to include records with a date less than Today’s Date + (30,60,90 days).

Why it’s not possible to modify a P&L statement just through the OBIA csv files?
We recently ran into an issue that most clients who use OBIA Financials encounter. We want to show two revenue line items on the BI apps prebuilt P&L dashboard (for example: Line of business #1 Revenue and Line of business #2 Revenue). The account group names from file_group_acct_names partially determine what shows up on the balance sheet and income statement.
For customers installing Oracle Business Intelligence (Financial) Applications a very useful customization can be done in a few steps that will add a nice bit of familiarity for reviewers of the financial statements.
The architecture for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (OBIA) includes several components. Understanding these components is prerequisite to a successful OBIA implementation. A brief description of each component is included below the diagram.
I recently read an article from Software Advice called the BI Buzzword Breakdown. The article highlighted the confusion around business intelligence (BI) terms and asked experts to provide their own definitions. While a quick visit to wikipedia will define most business intelligence terms, we as practitioners have learned that successful BI implementations require significant support and interaction with business users. The IT-led 'build it and they will come' strategy, just plain does not work. Thus, we need to be able to translate from techy terms to business terms. As a compliment to the software advice article, I would like to attempt to explain some of the key terms as if I was speaking to a fictitious business executive, who I will call Amy.
As business intelligence software technologies have matured, organizations have begun to expand the use of business intelligence software, like Oracle Business Intelligence, beyond reporting from data warehouses. Using tools like Oracle business intelligence to report off of operational systems such as Oracle EBS has become commonplace. So the question becomes, what is the difference between analytical and operational reporting and how should an organization architect a solution for each reporting type.
Recently Mark Hurd, Oracle President and Balaji Yelamanchili, Oracle Senior Vice President, Analytics and Performance Management, unveiled the latest advances in Oracle’s strategy for analytics. The webcast focused on the latest developments in business intelligence technology and applications, advanced analytics, performance management applications, and engineered systems. Key points included how to:
If you are reading this blog, you are probably like me in that you downloaded a 10.x update to Firefox and found that OBIEE no longer works. Here is a quick and dirty workaround until Oracle is ready with a patch:
