The diagram shows the Transactional Business Intelligence system architecture.

Oracle Fusion Applications

Oracle Fusion applications are the main source of data for Transactional Business Intelligence. Transactional data can be accessed using view objects in Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) that are deployed on the WebLogic server. View objects implement the functional concepts of Oracle Fusion applications, including data security, set IDs, trees, flexfields, labels, effective dates, and translation.

Oracle BI EE

Oracle BI EE is a comprehensive suite of business intelligence tools and infrastructure designed to bring greater business visibility and insight to the broadest audiences of users, allowing any user in an organization to have web-based self-service access to up-to-the moment, relevant, and actionable intelligence.

Transactional Business Intelligence uses Oracle BI EE for building semantics that are needed for real-time, ad-hoc analysis of Oracle Fusion applications data (no extract, transform, and load (ETL) is required).

Essbase (Optional)

This is an optional component depending on the Oracle Fusion applications that are installed. In Oracle Fusion Financials applications, General Ledger (GL) Balances are stored in Oracle Essbase cubes. GL Balances sourced from Essbase cubes is available for analysis in Transactional Business Intelligence. See Modeling Essbase Cubes for configuration steps.
