action
Includes all of the things you can do with reports, folders, and alerts. Examples of actions include creating, viewing and editing reports and alerts.
Active Data Cache (ADC)
The Active Data Cache is designed and optimized to handle large amounts of data in a real-time solution. To make data readily accessible and deliverable, it keeps data persistent in memory. The data feed to the Active Data Cache is a combination of business data sources, from data warehouse information to transactional feeds and other enterprise sources.
Active Studio
Active Studio is the thin user interface for the power user. Using Active Studio, the power user can create and edit reports. Reports can be shared with other users and rules can be created for determining the scheduling and delivery of the reports. Report types include columnar reports, crosstabs, KPIs, charts, spreadsheets, and more.
Active Viewer
Active Viewer is the thin user interface for the business user. When new information is available, the user receives an instant message that contains a link to the information. The user opens Active Viewer through this link and a report is displayed. The Pro version includes dynamic group collaboration using pen annotation.
Administrator
Administrator is the thin user interface for the system administrator who is responsible for user management and overall server management. Using Administrator, the system administrator manages users and security levels, monitors loading to the Active Data Cache, and configures Oracle Business Activity Monitoring services.
alert
Based on rules and events occurring in real-time, alerts are delivered through instant messaging technology. Alerts can be created in Active Studio and Architect.
Architect
Architect is the thin user interface for the data designer. Using Architect, the data designer creates and manages data objects in the Active Data Cache and manages real-time message processing.
crosstab
A Crosstab view is a spreadsheet format that combines rows and columns to display a multi-dimensional view of values. A Crosstab is summarized vertically and horizontally for a column or row that is added. Summary function that you can add to Crosstabs include sum, average, count, minimum (min) or maximum (max).
data flow
The graphical display of the steps in a Plan viewed in the Data Flow Editor. A complete data flow includes at least one data source and at least one sink.
data object
Contains the information set to display in each view of a report. Data objects are created and maintained through Architect in the ADC.
distribution list
The system administrator can create distribution lists of users which are used to send reports or alerts to groups of users.
Enterprise Link
Enterprise Link connects Oracle Business Activity Monitoring to other information sources such as database servers, flat files, and XML sources. By integrating with middle ware applications to create connections to enterprise application message queues, Enterprise Link deciphers the significant messages and filters out unwanted information.
enterprise message source
Providers of the real-time information flowing through the enterprise to the ADC. Each enterprise message source connects to a specific message queue and the information is delivered into a data object in the ADC.
folder permissions
Report designers can choose how to share reports contained in the folder with other Active Studio users by assigning folder-level permissions. Folder permissions include View, Create, and Delete.
KPI
Graphical key performance indicators such as an arrow to indicate whether a stock symbol's value went up or down.
Message Center
Tracks the presence of users so that reports and alerts are reliably received. Messages and reports are delivered using e-mail.
My Reports tab
You can view and edit reports you create and own on the My Reports tab in Active Studio.
Plan
Contain steps called Transforms that are linked together to create powerful data flows through Enterprise Link Design Studio. Plans contain instructions for locating data sources, data manipulation, and data loading to the ADC.
report
Display real-time or point-in-time information in multiple views such as lists, columnar reports, charts, key performance indicators (KPIs), crosstabs, or spreadsheets. Report designers can add formatting and data modifiers including filtering, sorting, calculations, grouping, and summaries.
role
A set of permissions that can be assigned to a domain group through Administrator. By adding groups of users to roles, the system administrator defines the level of user access to Oracle Business Activity Monitoring applications and items.
Shared Reports tab
You can view reports that other users shared with you on the Shared Reports tab in Active Studio. You have access to view these reports, but because you might not have Create or Delete permissions for them, you cannot always edit and delete them.
Transform
The building blocks of a Plan. Each Transform performs specialized operations and functions as either a source, data manipulation, data flow control, or sink Transform.
