Big Data

Innovate 2016

What is Big Data, Hyperion and BI Integration?• Combining Disparate data sources into 1 Integrated

Reporting Source for Analysis.• Let users worry about the data they want to retrieve

and not worry about the source• Allowing users to do advanced analytics, utilitize

large data sets, enter data and calculate numbers with the power of Hyperion, Big Data –but also have the flexibility of Reporting in OBIEE

• The elimination of the need for EIS/Studio –”drill-thru”

Innovate 2016

So much possible Data and it’s a mess!

Innovate 2016

Why do it? The value of Hyperion, Big Data and OBIEE Integration• Easily include Budget and Plan data into OBIEE Reporting• Integrated advanced analytics and large quantities of data into an easily reportable source OBIEE, e.g.

Customer Segmentations, Fraud• Analyze Structured and unstructured data together, e.g. Web Logs• Use one overall main reporting source• Plan for a business that is proactive and not reactive• Machine Learning algorithms that alert the business to issues all the way down to alerts in OBIEE• Take advantage of OBIEE Alerts and let executives know when to review data—Budget Shortfall,

Inventory Shortage, etc..• Structure data so that it can be found based on clear content and structure• Real Time and Caching

Put it together and Clean it up so you can use it!

• Keep integration simple and direct.• Too much information and the purpose of the integration is lost.• Cut down on information overload. • Make the end product easy for users!

Integration Tips: Simplicity

12

Innovate 2016

Hyperion pure integration into OBIEE—no relational source integration

• Ok to use Value hierarchies for parent child dimensions• Skip Gen 1 setting turn on• Alias vs. Member names—use Aliases and bring in additional

fields/UDAS as needed

Innovate 2016

Hyperion pure integration into OBIEE

• Pure Integration—skip Gen 1 levels in Hyperion—b/c Totals you don’t need..

Innovate 2016

Hyperion pure integration into OBIEE

• Hierarchy Type—Value—

• For Parent Child Hierarchies that are uneven

Innovate 2016

Hyperion pure integration into OBIEE

• Alias Usage—select Member names or Alias Usage.. Can also select Columns

Innovate 2016

Hyperion integration into OBIEE—relational source integration

• OBIEE is Relational and Levels focused—that is how it wants to view and integrate with Hyperion.

• Do not use Value hierarchies for parent child dimensions, need to have • Skip Gen 1 setting turn off

Innovate 2016

Hyperion integration into OBIEE—relational source integration

• Alias vs. Member names—need to pick out Exactly where pieces come together• Use the same underlying data source for Integration if possible.• Rebuild Hyperion cubes if needed• Sync up concat Hyperion dimensions

Innovate 2016

Hyperion pure integration into OBIEE—relational source integration

• Where this can go wrong• Different underlying Data sources• No Flexibility to create oracle/obiee synch dimensions/Members• Hyperion Hierarchies that are parent child and relational Level Hierarchies• Different business owners for OBIEE and Hyperion• Make sure company can collaborate and work together..

Innovate 2016

Hyperion and relational integration—map to levels

• Map Hyperion and Relational side to logical levels

Innovate 2016

Hyperion and relational integration—map to levels

• Map relational fields using logicalLevels. Match up fields.

Innovate 2016

Hyperion and relational integration—steps

• Line up cubes—first create pure Hyperion Cube• Then create matching relational only model• Finally create integrated Hyperion and relational model

Innovate 2016

OBIEE Big Data integration—steps• Import new Physical Data souce 12C—Hadoop or Cloudera

Innovate 2016

OBIEE Big Data integration—steps• Make sure ODBC Drivers are setup to and from Source, need to

math RPD OBDC Name• Drag over to rest of RPD

Innovate 2016

OBIEE Big Data integration—Tips• Hive Access can be slow, be aware of how large a data set you

are using• Impala also has a data source that can be used. Latency for Impala

queries was better• Use caching/offloading strategy for large data sources• Can use Real-time Streaming to setup data sources and OBIEE to

access data. • Can use Hadoop as dumping ground for data that you don’t ETL/have

access to otherwise • Look forward to using additional Big Data Sources—Spark, etc as time

goes on!

Big Data, Hyperion and relational integration—steps in OBIEE

• Demo of basic steps in OBIEE Admin tool..

Innovate 2016

Big Data, Hyperion and relational integration—Putting it all together

• Identify map out user common requests and group them together• Tell a story with your data• Show users clearly and easily where to get different pieces of data, the

more integration/combing/less thinking users have to do the happier they will be!

Key Takeaways• Understand the business value and how to integrate Big Data,

Hyperion, and OBIEE.• Understand the capabilities and how to do integration using Big Data,

Oracle Hyperion and OBIEE.
