Slide 7 JP1 XBRL stands for eXtensible Business Reporting Language. It is one of a family of "XML" languages which is becoming a standard means of communicating information between businesses and on the internet. XBRL is being developed by an international non-profit consortium of approximately 450 major companies, organisations and government agencies. It is an open standard, free of licence fees. It is already being put to practical use in a number of countries and implementations of XBRL are growing rapidly around the world. XBRL is a language for the electronic communication of business and financial data which is revolutionising business reporting around the world. It provides major benefits in the preparation, analysis and communication of business information. It offers cost savings, greater efficiency and improved accuracy and reliability to all those involved in supplying or using financial data.

Oracle BI Server
Common Enterprise Information Model
Simplified Logical Model
The Oracle BI server presents as a logically modeled database enabling the Common Enterprise Information Model. This provides powerful calculation, computation and federation capabilities to 3rd party tools as well as our own.

38

A Day in the Life of a Query

39

A Day in the Life of a Query

A logical request comes in asking for Brand, Closed Revenue (GL) Service Requests (Call Center) Share of Revenue (Derivation)

40

A Day in the Life of a Query

Oracle BI Server Cache

The Server will check to see if this request can be fulfilled via a prior request using Server Cache. This is an on-demand intelligent shareable and secure cache that can support: Subsets, Aggregations and Derivations

41

A Day in the Life of a Query

Navigator
If it is the request is cannot be fulfilled by cache then the server will intelligently process the request

42

A Day in the Life of a Query

Multi-Pass/Sub-Request Logic
Does this analysis require sophisticated analysis such as an OLAP calculation? [Revenue Share] The Server will determine the best possible way to provide this calculation/computation

43

A Day in the Life of a Query

Fragmentation Optimization
Does this request span across partitions or silos of data? [Closed Revenue and Service Requests] The server will determine based on the request if it should navigate to both or only one. It will automatically resolve fan traps.

44

A Day in the Life of a Query

Aggregate Navigator
Is there an aggregate that can better satisfy this request versus hitting the detail? {Brand Summary Table} The Server will apply approprate summary redirection to provide the quickest response.
45

A Day in the Life of a Query

Optimized Query Rewrites

What can be function-shipped down to the database versus performed /supplemented by the computation capabilities of the Server. The server will provide a consistent set of functionality to the user regardless of underlying datasource.

46

Oracle BI Server
