Overview of OBIEE Visualization

OBIEE's visualization capabilities haven't advanced with thetimes, and while we have received updates like waterfall charts,trellis charts, and performance tiles, there are still ways in whichOracle could both improve the existing visuals and add new

ones. There's a way to complement Oracle's out-of-the-boxvisualizations with third-party visualization capabilities

Download a java library from any number of either paid or opensources charting engines,

Store the files on the OBIEE server

Expose those files as an application in WLS

Call the files in a Narrative view in OBIEE using javascriptOracleBusiness Intelligence 11g comes with lots of new visualizationfeatures



WFT Visualization Journey

The existing EAM and SCM dashboards and reports has beendeveloped using the basic visualization techniques and itslimitations are listed below

•

Table View: Table view doesn’t support efficient datarepresentation

• Pivot table View: For large chunks of data, pivottables lead to scrolling content.

• Bar Graph: It is very primitive graph and it lack ofadvanced reporting feature.

• Line Graph: If data lines gets more than 5, the graphstarts looking clumsy

• Line Bar Graph: The line bars also looks clumsy if thenumber of lines is more.

IDEAL OBIEE Technical

ARCHITECTURE DIAGRAM



As is Landscape 1Existing Infra | Tools | Apps

Version: OBIEE 11.1.1.7

OS: 64 bit Solaris

Informatica: 9.0.1

DAC: 11G

Database: Oracle 11G

Features:

• We are using Microsoft Excel 2007+ to export the graphs. Formatting is done in such a way that

it is exported properly without overlapping of graphs that are present in the report.

• Grand Total can be added to the report in dashboard page.

• Return to overview page is used in all reports.

• Features like KPI, Write back, Action links are widely used

• Pivot table, table, bar chart, Narrative, line and line bar graphs are commonly used in the

application.

• Guided Navigation is used frequently



Suited Add-ons to OBIEETableau Benefits Over OBIEE



Other TP Tools Assessment

(Tableau | Deep Sea | Spotfire)Tableau Benefits Over OBIEETableau Benefits Over OBIEE

• More advanced dashboard capabilities such as conditional guided

navigation. Also much better at managing tons of dashboards.

• Stronger enterprise level security and user management.

• Some charts easier to make on OBIEE (such as a funnel)

Spotfire Benefits Over OBIEE

• Spotfire responds faster than BI and more flexibly than spreadsheets,

equipping everyone in enterprise — whether in business, technical, or

scientific roles — to easily analyze complex data, customize their

discovery experience, and share their story through mashups, portals orinteractive dashboards. Spotfire Analytics delivers a unique combination

of powerful analytics and an engaging visual experience that is both

powerful and intuitive



Adding 3rd Party

Visualizations to OBIEE



Current View: Time to Repair

Current view: Line graphThis report has mainly pivot tables and line graph.

There are 2 pivot tables and 1 line graph showing time to repair in days withrespect to month



Tableau Benefits Over OBIEE

Visualization standard for EAM



Modified View 1: Time to Repair

Modified to bar graph, which comes out with good clarity and it gives a betterinsight into the data. It also covers less area/space as compared to line

graph



Existing View: last refresh date

In the existing view, last refresh date wascoming below the report heading.

M difi d Vi L t f h



Modified View: Last refresh

date shifted to top left

In the modified view, the last refresh date

will be placed in the top left as a standard

practice for all reports.



Modified View: With no scroll in

the dashboard After fixing the table length and height, the

dashboard scroll changes to table scroll.

This is much easier to navigate.



Existing view: Filter listing below

table leading to spaces in left

and rightthe current arrangement has left lots of white

and blank unused spaces

Modified view: Filter listing



Modified view: Filter listing

placed in the right to utilize the

spaceReduced blank spaces helps the user to have more efficient view of

data in the same space/area.



Safety Critical Compliance

Original View 1: Line Graph




Modified View 1: Pie chart




Modified View 2: Area graph




Modified View 3: Pareto



Visualization Standard For SCM

Existing view : Branch Summary



Existing view : Branch Summary

Report



Modified view 1:

Color Coding For different Range of Values:

This feature helps in giving better visibility for different range of values. One can easily

identify the strong/weak or average performing areas even through a glimpse.



Modified View 2:

Freeze Header Implementation:It freezes the data column header, so when a user scrolls down to the bottom of the report,

the column header stays in place and only the data rows move.



Modified View 3:

Filter Section moved upwardsThe user will know at the load of the report the filters applied in the report



User Name Included at the Top of the Report



Existing view : Min-Max Detail Report



Modified View:

It displays a single aggregate measure in a visually prominent manner. It is an ideal way of

displaying and calling out attention to a metric or set of metrics of interest on a dashboard



Modified View:

The below graph identifies the percentages of both the measures for a particular region



Modified View:

We can identify the percentage of OH Inventory amount for ATO and Non ATO regions
