Oracle Argus Analytics is an analytical reporting application. Oracle Argus Analytics extracts data from Oracle Argus Safety, providing a data mart containing key metrics across the pharmacovigilance business process. From this data mart, Oracle Argus Analytics provides key pre-defined reports, and enables the creation of additional custom reports. Oracle Argus Analytics also includes reports that run against the source database, thereby providing an up to date data analysis.
Oracle Argus Analytics was previously named Oracle Health Sciences Pharmacovigilance Operational Analytics (OPVA).
In addition to Argus Safety, Oracle Argus Analytics requires the presence of Informatica PowerCenter/Oracle Data Integrator, Oracle Business Intelligence Data Mart Administration Console (DAC), Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE), and Oracle Database.
Installing Oracle Argus Analytics requires a level of knowledge equivalent to having mastered the material in Oracle's DBA Architecture and Administration course. You must be able to read and edit SQL*Plus scripts. You must be able to run SQL scripts and review logs for Oracle errors.
Installing and maintaining Oracle Argus Analytics requires the following skill set across a variety of platforms including Linux, Unix, Solaris and Microsoft:
