Ability to Report on Business Objects
The Risk Management Cloud - Advanced Financial Controls Real Time subject area includes a new folder called Business Objects. Its dimensions enable you to view a list of available business objects, including any user-defined or imported objects. Other related dimensions can include the object product, category, or relationships.

Additionally, you can create an analysis that lists the controls to which you've been granted access, and shows the business objects they use. Other dimensions allow you to evaluate available attributes in the object and their data types.

The feature enables you to view and report on the business objects available in Risk Management to build models in Advanced Financials Controls. It also allows you identify other information like attributes within these objects, or objects used in your current controls.
Steps to Enable
You still need to run the Report Synchronization job required for Advanced Controls. However, a secondary job is spawned from that, called BO Report Synchronization. It's the job that populates the Business Objects subject area with data.

Access Requirements
An existing privilege and duty role grant a user access to the new Business Objects folder and dimensions. These include:
- View Business Object Visualizations (GTG_VIEW_BUSINESS_OBJECT_VISUALIZATIONS_PRIV)
- Advanced Transaction Controls Analyst (FBI_ADVANCED_FINANCIAL_CONTROL_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY)
Both the existing privilege and OTBI security access are part of the seeded job role Advanced Transaction Controls Analyst (ORA_GTG_APPLICATION_CONTROL_MANAGER_JOB). The Business Object folder doesn't use security assignments, as controls and their incidents do. However, when you use the folder in conjunction with Control dimensions, you will see only controls available to you.
