Financial Analytics - Need Information

Hello,
I am trying to find out the details about the prebuilt ETL process that comes with financial analytics module .Can someone please point me to some documentation where i can find basic informations like what are the mappings available and how many mappings available etc . If you are not able to locate any documentation but you know these information ,kindly let me know
Thanks
Venkat

first identify your source system like Oracle ERP or people soft or siebel and its version. then find the suitable container in DAC like Oracle R12 or Oracle R12.1.1 etc. with in that you would be able to find suitable subject areas. Also you would be able to find suitable execution plan. find them. before you run the executable plan, read the BI apps config guide and configure all lookup files properly.

Financial Analytics: GL Balance query

Hello,
Does anyone if the project to date DR/CR balances as represented in the GL_BALANCES table in Oracle GL is represented in Financial Analytics 7.9.6.3.
Specifically, I want to know where we have the situation where GL is enabled for basic project accounting, would the project_to_date_cr/dr information load into the data warehouse, do any of the standard reports allow you to query this information, or do we need to license Project Analytics for this information or build a customisation?
Cheers,
John

Hi John,
The GL_BALANCES fact table in Financial Analytics (W_GL_BALANCES_F) and it's related aggregates do not contain project_to_date_cr/dr measures; the simplest thing would be to add them by extending the ETL.
Project Analytics does provide seeded measures for project costs and revenue to date, but these will not be in double entry format as per GL, and you would obviously need to be confident that Projects and the projects segment in the GL reconcile perfectly.
Please mark if helpful/correct,
Andy.

Financial Analytics (Map GL natural account to group account numbers )

Hi All,
In configuring Financial Analytics file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv file to map oracle general ledger natural account to group account number, It is mentioned that a range of accounts can be grouped as EX:
Chart Of Aaccount ID=1 FROM ACCT=101010 TO ACCT=101099 Group_ACCT_NUM= CA
on what basis we need to decide what range of accounts can we grouped as CA/ FG INV/ AP / AR etc. Are there any ERP tables that holds these information.
Thank you

No, this is not in the ERP.Usually the FInance analyst or Business Process Owner will be able to provide the info

Financial Analytics 7.9.6 - Reconciling to EBS 11.5.10 Data Source

Hi all,
Thank you for taking the time to review this post.
Environment
BI Apps: Financial Analytics 7.9.6
Source system: EBS 11.5.10
Question
I have completed the BAW ETL load from my EBS 11.5.10 source system and am trying to reconcile the data in the warehouse with the EBS data to ensure it has loaded successfully. I have started by running Parameterised General Ledger -> Trial Balance OOTB Dashboard reports in BI against similar parametrised Trial Balance Summary reports in EBS, and they have successfully reconciled in my local currency (AUD). However, I need to add the "Local" currency columns to the OOTB request when I run a report against a foreign currency (GBP).
This is all easily done but it is time consuming. Can anyone out there share with us all their techniques for reconciling data volumes and values, specifically for EBS 11.5.10 data source?
Thank you!
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6
Oracle BI Enterprise Edition Plus 10.1.3.4Isn't 10.1.3.4.1 the OBIEE release for OBIA 7.9.6?
And any reason you're not going for OBIA 7.9.6.1?
I don't know of patches off the top of my head, you're best off spending a couple of hours trawling My Oracle Support, that'll throw the candidates up.

Financial Analytics Reports in Local Currency

Advise needed to help in configuring BI Apps such that the Financial Analytics reports (GL, Payables, Profitability & Receivables) show the transaction values in local currency i.e. INR instead of the default global currency USD.
I have changed the source parameter values in the DAC Container Setup while loading the data from an EBS R12 instance. The following source parameters values have been changed to INR from USD -
$$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE (for the document currency)
$$GLOBAL2_CURR_CODE (for the local currency)
$$GLOBAL3_CURR_CODE (for the global currency)
However, the Finacial Analytics Reports do not show any transactional values for the selected Ledger (having INR as the global currency). The data is populated in the Local Closing Amount, Local Opening Amount etc columns of the Fact - GL Balance but no data is populated in the Closing Amount (Global), Opening Amount(Global) etc columns.
Please advise to resolve the above mentioned localization issue in Financial Analytics.

Are you looking for Changing the Default currency in OBIA Dashboards

Need information on Typical BI Apps Project

Hi Experts,
Wanted to understand how does a BI Apps project go and what is expected out of a BI apps Consultant
we are using BI Apps 7964 with EBS R12 as the source.
We have done the basic configurations for the BI Apps for Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Analytics and now we see some data in the EAM Dashboards.
Q.1 How do we confirm if the data thats coming in Reports/Dashboards is the correct data. ( or for that matter if our configurations have been properly done)
Q2. How do we know what prebuilt reports are supposed to do ( looking in BI Rpd and then in informatica mappings to understand what a report exactly does takes a long time and there are more than 200 prebuilt reports).
Q.3 How long doesa BI Apps project go if we just have to show the prebuilt reports correctly populated in BI Dashboards with no customizations.
The reason i am asking this is that this is my 1st project in bi apps and I am purely technical guy and my client wants me to implement 4 -5 analytics like Oracle financial Analytics, Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Analytics, Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics,
Q.4 Does one need to have functional knowledge as well for implementing these modules.
Your help/inputs in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Product guide is the good source to answer your questions, reach out Oracle sales rep for the same.
Hope this helps

Hi Gurus,
I am a newbie to OBIA. I was assigned to install and configure the OBIA 11.1.1.7.1 for Financial Analytics.
I am done with the Installation part and able to access the Configuration Manager and Functional Setup Manager.
Could you anyone please let me know what are the things(parameters etc) do i need to setup for Financial Analytics.
Please provide me if any docs available for Financial Analytics for 11.1.1.7.1.
Thanks

OBIA 11g: Financial Analytics Config

We are configuring OBIA 11.1.1.7 to Financial Analytics based on the tasks provided in documnetation. FInding it bit hard to understand the current documnetation structure after working on 7.9.6.3 where there were specific section for Fiancial Analytics related tasks.
Wanted to clarify the below. In 7.9.6.X we had to configure the below files as part of EBS GL configuration.
1> file_group_acct_names.csv
2> file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv
3> file_grpact_fstmt.csv
But apart from the 2nd file the other two files are not refered to in the OBIA 11g Config document. Not sure if those needs to be configured. If anyone has come across any categorized steps for Financial anlytics for OBIA 11g it would of help.. Di not find any here.
Cheers
D

First 2 files are referred in configuration guide. You can skip the 3rd one.
I have successfully configured Financial Analytics with these 2 files and some others. e.g for FA

Which Fact tables are part of OBIA Financial Analytics v796?

Does anyone know which fact tables (Star schemas) are associated with Financial Analytic license?
As of now, I am going thru the document: OracleBusinessAnalyticsWarehouseDMR_V796.pdf and i am trying to identify which Star Schema's are associated with the Financial Analytics and I was wondering if there was a more productive means of finding out this information.
thanks

Ir-respective of what Fact tables are used in Finacial Analytics, the Target DW will have these fact tables when used with EBS source. This is true even if you run ETL only for Financial analytics. This in general is true for EBS also, even though you may only Financial module of EBS, the data model of EBS will have most of the tables as often there are shared tables from other modules.

Financial Analytics on Vision Demo Database(EBS)

Hi,
We are trying to configure Financial Analytics and view Dashboards for the same.
We have EBS 12 with vision database and created a Demo on the same without following Configuration steps, only by giving the credentials for OLAP and OLTP data sources in DAC and OBI. After which we were able to view some portion of Payables and Receivables. I have 2 questions
1. The measures for GL and Profitability dashboard are null. When I checked the RPD there were conditions for the columns like
FILTER(Core."Fact - Fins - GL Balance"."Activity Global1 Amount" USING Core."Dim - GL Account"."Group Account Number" = 'ACC DEPCN')
and for the same when I checked the physical table in OLAP it has only "Others" and when we checked the mappings and identified the source table in Oracle Apps we could not view any data.
The Question is Do we have any data in vision demo database to configure GL.
2. When we ran the execution plan Financials_Oracle R12 through DAC, all the mappings were successful but now when we run a mapping through Informatica it is throwing an error :
*Cannot find specified parameter file [E:\Informatica\PowerCenter8.1.1\server\infa_shared\SrcFiles\SILOS.SIL_AgreeFact.txt] for [session [SIL_AgreeFact.SIL_AgreeFact]].*
How can we resolve this issue as we know that these parameter files are provided in installation and we copied the same in Informatica folder.
Thanks in Advance,
Devesh
Edited by: Devesh Tewari on Apr 16, 2009 12:10 AM

Devesh,
The location of Parameter Files generated by DAC is defined by InformaticaParameterFileLocation parameter in Setup section in DAC itself.
Copying the source files into Infa_shared is one of the configuration steps and is needed. The thing is that you copy the source files for your mappings (like base for your fiscal calendar, etc.) and not the parameter files for your Workflow Sessions.
So we have 3 different folders here:
1. DAC default parameter folder (when DAC will create the parameter files automatically)
2. Source files for mappings (location configured in Infa)
3. Parameter files for Workflow Sessions run through Informatica (configured in each Workflow Session).
In theory if you run your Workflows only using DAC, you will not be interested in the third folder since it is not going to be used.
If you use Workflow manager, you should place your parameter files in the 3rd folder (\server\infa_shared\SrcFiles by default).
You can also rename parameter files through Workflow Session properties.
Hope it helps..

Financial Analytics 7.9.6 installation

Hi
I am not sure that this is the correct forum to post this threat.
I want to install Financial Analytics tool 7.9.6 version . I am following the DOC. "System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle® Business Intelligence Applications Version 7.9.6, Rev. N December 2011
Part Number: E14221-15"
For resource utilisation and load distrubution I want to install this tool on two server (by dividing few component on one server and other on second server). But i am not sure which component can be installed on first server and which one on another.
kindly help me to take decission.
also let me know which operating system will be better (windows/linux)
Thanks
Krishna

You can use either Windows of Linux. However, the DAC and INFA server must go on the same machine. Also, for installation, you need to run the installer on Windows and then move files to Linux. I would recommend just putting DAC and INFA server together and the client tools on Windows. Also, for the DW DB..I would allocate a separate dedicated server especially if you expect a heavy DB work load.
if this was helpful, please mark as correct or helpful.

Financial Analytics Test Run

I am new to DAC and Informatica. I have installed both and want to run a small set of data for Financial Analytics to test the setup and results. Can anyone provide steps or a link for doing so? What Parameters need to be set? Can I run one subject area? Which is best for a small test? How do I execute?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You need to perform a dry run...Yes, you can configure ur custom Execution plan for a single subject area for testing purpose. Refer oracle docs..
