Abstract

Using Node.js to Make OBIEE the Application You Always Wanted It to Be

There is no other way to say it, write back in Oracle Business Intelligence is awful.
Oracle Application Express integration is one way to address the need for data capture
but it has its own limitations.

Node.js has the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world and makes
adding interactive forms for data capture and retrieval really easy inside of OBI.

How we have used Node.js to extend customer OBI environments to enable interactive
data capture and custom visualizations alongside delivered content.

From the System Administrators Guide

Write-Back Limitations

“The template mechanism is not suitable for entering arbitrary new records. In other words,
do not use it as a data input tool.”

Caution:
“The template mechanism takes user input and writes it directly to the database. The
security of the physical database is your own responsibility. For optimum security, store
write-back database tables in a unique database instance.”
What about APEX?

▪ APEX is awesome, for an Oracle Database

▪ Some organizations do actually use other database platforms


Why to use Node.js

▪ Open source and available on Windows, Mac and Linux

▪ Loosely coupled architecture

▪ Super easy – Same language (JavaScript) on server as browser

▪ Database parity

▪ Independent of OBI architecture

▪ Licensing safety

▪ HUGE community of open source projects


How to use Node.js

▪ How to get Node

▪ Where to host
▪ Pick a cloud – Oracle, AWS, Azure and Google all have server-less, container and
compute instance options
▪ On your existing servers – Lightweight and easily lives along side other apps
