1 About This Guide

This manual explains the functionalities of Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure (OFSAAI) in a procedural approach.

OFSAAI is integrated with multiple modules that cover areas like data extraction and transformation, definition and execution of rules and processes for molding a set of data, and application of different techniques on raw data for model design purposes. It also encompasses modules that are inevitable to make the Infrastructure Application flexible according to the user requirements.

These modules perform administration, definition of servers, database, and Information Domain along with the other configuration processes such as segment and metadata mapping, hierarchy security, and designing of the Infrastructure Menu functions. The last section of this document consists of references and feedback information pertaining to any issues noticed within the document.
