Create Analyses Using BI Composer

You can create analyses in BI Composer in multiple ways.

1. In Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence:
   1. In the global header, click New, then Analysis.
   2. Select a subject area. The BI Composer wizard is displayed in a new window.
2. In other applications (such as an ADF application):
   1. Click the Subject Areas tab.
   2. Select a subject area.
   3. Click Create.
3. In the Select Columns panel, select the columns to include in the analysis. For each column that you want to add:
   1. Select the column in the Subject Areas list.
   2. Click Add to move it to the Selected Columns list.
   If you want to add or remove subject areas from which to select columns, click the Add button in the Subject Area: Subject_Area_Name area to display the Add/Remove Subject Areas dialog.
4. Click the Select Views button in the BI Composer train at the top of the wizard.
5. In the BI Composer wizard -- Create Analysis: Select Views panel, specify the views to include.
6. Click the Save button in the BI Composer train.
7. In the BI Composer wizard -- Create Analysis: Save panel, save the analysis with the same name or with a different name by specifying the save criteria and then clicking Submit.

Suppose that a BI Composer session contains an unsaved analysis and the current Managed Server for Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool stops, which causes the system to fail over to another Managed Server. In this case, the analysis in the existing BI Composer session cannot be saved. You can recover the original analysis by opening a new BI Composer session and saving the analysis from there.
