Business Areas

Business Areas are the bridge between the Oracle LSH database and data visualization tools such as Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. A Business Area contains Table Descriptors that are mapped to Table instances. A data visualization can include only data mapped to a single Business Area.

When you create a Business Area, you can map to all Table instances in the Work Area at once if you choose to, simplifying Business Area definition. You can also map Business Area Table Descriptors to Table instances in other Work Areas, and/or to selected Table instances in the same Work Area. Therefore your data visualizations are not restricted to data contained in a single Work Area.
