11g Architecture Compared to 10g Architecture

Main difference is wrapping components in WLS platform and EM management Individual servers, components are still the same (BI Server, Presentation Server, BI Publisher J2EE application etc) Some reworking has taken place in 11gR1 (unified logging, management of config files using EM etc) Basic concepts, plus clustering (OBIEE), scheduling etc are the same as in 10g

Query Govern.

Core OBIEE Components Still Play Same Role

Once you strip away all of the middleware components, OBIEE 11g still works in fundamentally the same way as OBIEE 10g Users queries via the Presentation Server The Oracle BI Server converts these queries to physical SQL/MDX, via the Oracle BI Repository Queries are passed to the underlying physical databases and OLAP cubes Data returned to users in the form of dashboards and reports

Saturday, 1 October 11

Oracle BI Server Still Works as the Analytic Middleware

Parses incoming logical SQL queries Uses the navigator to generate optimized physical queries Manages the query cache Handles row and subject-area security Provides load-balancing information to the Cluster Controller But now delegates authorization/ authentication to Fusion Middleware

Saturday, 1 October 11

WLS Embedded LDAP Server

By default, OBIEE 11g users and groups are now held in the WLS LDAP Server More robust directory for storing user details Recommended for >1000 users WLS Admin Server Console now used for creating and maintaining users BI Server outsources all authentication, authorization to FMW11g BI Administration tool now used for subject area and row-level security, connection pool passwords only WLS LDAP Server can be swapped out for alternative directories (MS AD etc)

So Whats New in OBIEE 11.1.1.5?

Simple install option installs Java components in WLS administration server, doing away with node manager and managed server 64-bit Linux install lays down the 64-bit JVM 64-bit Windows install lays down a working 64-bit BI Administration tool (sort of) Option to install BI Composer, a simplified analysis generation tool Support for Oracle OLAP and SAP/BW as data sources In-place and out-of-place upgrades from 11.1.1.3

Saturday, 1 October 11

Upgrading from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.5

To options for upgrading; out-of-place and in-place upgrade Out of Place Upgrade involves installing 11.1.1.5 in a new MW Home Manually migrate RPD, catalog and other BI objects Manually migrate security, roles, users to new environment Advantage : conceptually simple, but resource-intensive In-Place Upgrade involves following the FMW11g patching process Detailed at http://www.rittmanmead.com/2011/05/in-place-upgrading-ofobiee-11-1-1-3-to-11-1-1-5/ Upgrade WLS from 10.3.3 to 10.3.5 via metalink-only Upgrade Installer Do software-only install of OBIEE 11.1.1.5 into existing MW Home Perform pre- and post-patching steps Advantage : upgrades in-place, but a non-trivial exercise

Clustering in OBIEE 11g

OBIEE 11g Domains can be scaled-out (horizonal clustering) and/or scaled-up (vertical clustering) Adds resilience, reduces single points of failure Allows OBIEE systems to take advantage of more/larger hardware Installer sets up single-node OBIEE 11g Domain; cluster can then be extended out and upwards using EM and Universal Installer

WebLogic Clustering vs. OBIEE Clustering

Vertical clustering uses just OBIEE clustering features (Cluster Controller) Cluster controller routes queries to clustered BI Server Presentation Server, Cluster Controller, Java Host and Scheduler can also be clustered (active/active and active/passive) Horizontal clustering uses WebLogic clustering Uses MBean method to pack/unpack domain and clone to separate server Does not itself use/require OBIEE clustering Does require WebLogic Server EE license

So ... Can We Run Multiple RPDs and Webcats on a Single Box?

No (or at least, weve not got it working) Internal restrictions within OBIEE 11.1.1.3 that stops complete isolation of RPD / webcat pairs Possibly coming (Multi-Tenancy) in OBIEE 11.1.1.5/6? Otherwise, need to multiple Middleware Home installations

Summary
OBIEE11g has had a major architectural overhaul, adopting FMW11g technologies Core servers stay the same, but new middleware wrapper Uses WebLogic for J2EE application hosting, security, integration Major security enhancements and changes Enterprise Manager used for systems managemnet WLST scripting can be used for process automation EM and WLST both leverage MBeans for modularized administration Clustering now extends to WebLogic clustering for horizontal scale-out Diagnostics leverage MBeans and ODL for cross-node diagnostics and metrics
