About the Incremental Deployment of the Oracle BI Applications Repository

Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse consist of various families of Oracle BI Applications, for example, Supplier Performance Analytics, Contact Center Telephony Analytics, General Ledger & Profitability Analytics, and so on. You can purchase these applications at different times. You can customize functionality and incrementally add new application or applications.

This section describes the procedure for deploying multiple applications. You can repeat the procedure to add applications incrementally.

Figure 11 shows a single Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse application environment. A license key is used to extract the Oracle BI repository. You can modify the Oracle BI repository to suit your business needs.

When you purchase another Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse application, you need to use the combined license key to extract both Oracle BI application repositories. Use the Administration merge utility to perform a three-way merge of the original repository, the modified repository, and the combined repository. For more information on merging repositories, see About Oracle BI Repository Variables.

The merged repository preserves your modifications from the original Oracle BI repository and appends the information with the new Oracle BI repository, as shown in Figure 12.

You can repeat this merging procedure to add more Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse applications to the Oracle BI repository.
