Data lineage dashboards provide reporting on out-of-the-box Business Intelligence Application module metrics and data, allowing data analysis from the transactional source application through the Business Intelligence repository and the underlying ETL mappings.
Using data lineage dashboards, business analysts and those customizing ETL and repository objects can gain insight into where the data in their applications' reports and dashboards is being sourced from, how it is modeled in the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (Oracle BI Applications) repository, and how it is loaded during ETL. Data lineage dashboards are useful in performing business analysis and in understanding source-to-target ETL mappings and data transformation logic when planning or implementing Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse customizations.
