Reporting Data Models

Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) uses groups of data reporting views called Reporting Data Models. These are different from System Data Models and are used only for reporting.

When you log into OAS, you can view the list of delivered Reporting Data Models by navigating to the Data Models folder. Click Catalog > Shared Folders > SFA Reports > Data Models.

The Reporting Data Models in that folder are maintained and updated by Oracle. If you update any of these Reporting Data Models and save them to this folder, they will be overwritten when there is a new release of Student Financial Aid. Also, there is potential negative downstream impact to delivered reports. If you update or create Reporting Data Models, Oracle recommends that you also create a separate folder for them. For more information on creating Reporting Data Models, see Designing and Publishing Pixel-Perfect Reports in Oracle Analytics Server - Components of a Data Model.

Reporting Data Models map to one or more FASRPT reporting views and aren’t tailored for one specific report. They are designed to support multiple reports and used when you are creating new reports or customizing delivered reports. You can find more information about Reporting Views in the latest release notes. See Oracle Fusion Cloud Student Financial Aid: Release Notes (Doc ID 2613016.1) on My Oracle Support (MOS).
