Inside the OBIEE BI Server
Mark Rittman, Rittman Mead

The Oracle BI Server is the heart of an OBIEE system, and provides the query generation, security, caching and data integration capabilities of the product suite. The BI Server has an analogy in the Oracle Database in that it has various components (the Navigator, Cache Services, Execution Engine, Load Balancer, Session Management) that handle a query when it comes in, ensures query performance and handles large, concurrent groups of users.

This presentation looks at the internal processes and elements within the BI Server, examines how they handle incoming queries and varied data sources, looks at how memory is used and what diagnostics and tracing is available. Looking to shed some light on what goes on within the BI Server, and with a look to what is coming with the 11g release (subject to the information being made available from Product Development), this session takes an under-the-covers look at what drives performance and federation capabilities within the OBIEE suite.
