Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse Architecture Components

The Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse architecture comprises the following components:

• DAC client. A command and control interface for the data warehouse to allow for schema management, and configuration, administration, and monitoring of data warehouse processes. It also allows you to design subject areas and build execution plans.
• DAC server. Executes the instructions from the DAC client. The DAC server manages data warehouse processes, including loading of the ETL and scheduling execution plans. It dynamically adjusts its actions based on information in the DAC repository. Depending on your business needs, you might incrementally refresh the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse once a day, once a week, once a month, or on another similar schedule.
• DAC repository. Stores the metadata (semantics of the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse) that represents the data warehouse processes.
• Informatica Server. Loads and refreshes the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse.
• Informatica Repository Server. Manages the Informatica repository.
• Informatica Repository. Stores the metadata related to Informatica workflows.
• Informatica client utilities. Tools that allow you to create and manage the Informatica repository.
