New Answers and Dashboards Features in OBIEE 11g

Improved support for OLAP-style reporting ! Hierarchical columns ! Support for ragged and skip-level hierarchies ! Dynamic re-arrangement of pivot tables in the dashboard Dynamic grouping and custom aggregates New visualizations and dashboard controls Updated graphing engine (ADF DVT) New gauge types and graphics
Backward Compatibility with OBIEE 10g Dashboards
Hierarchical Columns
OBIEE 11gR1 now supports concept of hierarchical columns ! In-column drilling up and down a hierarchy ! Similar concept to Discoverer and other OLAP tools ! Regular columns still supported, now renamed attribute columns Supports level-based and ragged (parent-child) hierarchies Flexible totalling and ability to determine leaf-levels, ancestors, parents etc Works with both relational and OLAP (Essbase, Oracle OLAP etc) data sources
Hierarchical Columns and OLAP Reporting

Hierarchical columns can be used in pivot tables ! Can be nested within each other ! Can be dynamically re-arranged in the dashboard ! Can be used alongside regular attribute and measure columns
Hierarchical Columns and Selection Steps (Filtering)

Incremental (status-aware) filter steps can be defined for hierarchical columns Add, remove, keep dimension members Reference members by their position in the hierarchy Add member conditions referencing measures Combine with regular filters on attribute columns
Hierarchy Groups
Groups can be created in Answers 11g for custom aggregations Preserves hierarchy within group, can drill-down from selected members Existing calculated member feature still availble
Hierarchy Groups

Master-Detail Linking
Columns can be enabled for Master-Detail Linking Selecting a column causes master-detail messages to be sent to other views Provides a Qlikview-like experience for users
Master-Detail Linking Step 1 : Select Source Analysis

Any analysis can be used Can use attribute or hierarchical columns
Master-Detail Linking Step 2 : Set Source M-D Channel

Edit column properties for the column that will provide the filtering Set Send Master-Detail Events as the Primary Interaction Specify Channel (arbitrary value, used to distinguish trigger events)
Master-Detail Linking Step 2 : Set Source M-D Channel

Edit column properties for the column that will provide the filtering Set Send Master-Detail Events as the Primary Interaction Specify Channel (arbitrary value, used to distinguish trigger events)
Master-Detail Linking Step 3 : Select Target Analysis

Again, any analysis will work Column to be filtered against needs to be in the criteria
Master-Detail Linking Step 4 : Enable Listen for M-D Events

Move the filter column into the Table Prompts area Edit the Table View Properties to listen for M-D events on this channel Select the same channel that was used on the M-D analysis
Master-Detail Linking Step 5 : Include Both on Dashboard

Include both analyses on a dashboard Clicking on the master analysis triggers filtering on the target one ! Graphs require you to click on the labels
Demonstration
New Visualizations in OBIEE 11gR1
Action Framework, and Integration with Business Processes

Actions can be defined in the web catalog Can navigate to other BI content, link to web sites, invoke WS calls etc Can be attached to reports and other objects Conditional display, based on contents of report Closed-loop BI system
Creating an Action
Actions either navigate to content, or invoke a process Registry contained within BI EE instance that defines external processes Map report columns to parameters Define conditions for the display of the action
Actions in Use
Actions are attached to reports, or to the dashboard Display when condition is met Evolution of the navigation and guided navigation features in OBIEE 10g, plus web service interoperability
Key Performance Indicators

KPIs can be defined in the web catalog Requires measures for actual and target Thresholds for good, bad etc performance can be set KPIs can be dimensioned (time, customer, product etc)
