Here we will see that how we can use FTI module witihin OTM packaged solution to create interactive dashboards using OTM data. FTI module is purely built on OBIEE tool and it helps in creating easy and effective reports.
3. Introduction
Fusion Transportation Intelligence provides an environment for managing business
metrics by monitoring, analyzing, and reporting metrics at various levels of the
organization.
Oracle BI Enterprise Edition (FTI Module in OTM Perspective) provides a full range of
business intelligence capabilities that allow you to:
• Collect up-to-date data from organization
• Present the data in easy-to-understand formats (such as tables and graphs)
• Deliver data in a timely fashion to the employees in organization
• These capabilities enable organization to make better decisions, take informed
actions, and implement more-efficient business processes.
4. FTI Setup
After enabling FTI services for an OTM instance we need to set allow_advanced_analytics property
to YES in OTM to start FTI activity.
5. Data Movement
We have few Agents in OTM which will take care of data movement to and from between OTM Database (GLOGOWNER) and
FTI Database (HDOWNER). Here agents will run on Tendering activity on Shipment to mark Shipment, Order Release and
other associated information (Rate Information, Service Provider Information etc.) to move in HDOWNER database. We can
use other Activity to mark the elements to move.
A recurring process will run according to schedule to move the marked data in FTI Database.
OBJECT TYPE STATUS_TYPE_GID STATUS_VALUE_GID CONSIDERED BY ETL
ORDER_RELEASE OR_HD_LOAD_STATUS OR_NOT_READY_TO_LOAD N
ORDER_RELEASE OR_HD_LOAD_STATUS OR_READY_TO_LOAD Y
SHIPMENT SHIPMENT_HD_LOAD_STATUS SHIPMENT_NOT_READY_TO_LOAD N
SHIPMENT SHIPMENT_HD_LOAD_STATUS SHIPMENT_READY_TO_LOAD Y
Delete Data from FTI Database:
Deletion of Order Release or Shipment remove respective elements in FTI database instantly due to UNLOAD Data agent in
OTM.
6. Analysis
Analyses are queries against OTM data that provide answers to business questions.
Analyses allow you to explore and interact with information by visually presenting data in
easy-to-understand formats (such as tables and graphs). You can save, organize, and
share the results of analyses and use in Dashboards.
9. Dashboard
The Dashboard in Fusion Transportation Intelligence (FTI) is a collection of performance metrics
reflecting common strategic goals. These performance metrics can be Analysis, KPI Scorecard,
Agent and Action. A dashboard can be one page to multipage having many Analysis and other
elements.
The results of an analysis is the output returned from the Oracle BI Server that matches the analysis
criteria. It can be shown in various views, such as a table, graph, and gauge. Users can examine and analyze
results, print as PDF or HTML, save as PDF, or export them to a spreadsheet.
11. Agents
• Agents enable us to automate report and data delivery. We can use them to
provide event-driven alerting, scheduled content publishing, and conditional
event-driven action execution.
•
12. Action
Actions provide functionality to:
• Navigate to related content
• Invoke operations, functions, or processes in external systems
We can include actions in analyses, dashboard pages, agents, scorecard objectives, scorecard
initiatives, and KPIs.
13. KPI (Key Performance Indicators)
KPIs are measurements that define and track specific business goals and objectives that often roll up
into larger organizational strategies that require monitoring, improvement, and evaluation. KPIs have
measurable values that usually vary with time, have targets to determine a score and performance
status, include dimensions to allow for more specific analysis, and can be compared over time for
trending purposes and to identify performance patterns.
A KPI's status and score are determined by comparing its actual value against the thresholds that you define.
The performance status of a KPI is represented by the status icon that you assign to each range.
Sample KPI Idea:
Evaluation Range Rule Threshold Name Status Icon
Number of Shipment exceeding 125 (125 < x)
indicate good performance
126 and above Good Green square
Values between 80 and 125 (100 < x <= 125)
indicate average performance
125 Average Yellow square
Values between 80 and 1 (80 < x <= 1)
indicate poor performance
80 Poor Red square
14. KPI (Key Performance Indicators)
KPIs are measurements that define and track specific business goals and objectives. KPIs have
measurable values that usually vary with time, have targets to determine a score and performance
status
16. Target & Forecast
Before using KPI functionality from OBIEE, we need to insert Target and Forecasts in OTM for
different time period.
Target and Forecast can be inserted using CSV files and on Run ETL job data will move to
HDOWNER database schema.
17. KPI Watchlist
KPI watchlists are collections of KPIs that you build by adding the KPIs that are stored in the
catalog. After you build and save a KPI watchlist, it is stored as a catalog object and can be added
to dashboards and scorecards. Because KPIs cannot be viewed directly from the catalog by
users, KPI watchlists are one of the ways, along with outputting a KPI to an analysis and including
a KPI on a scorecard, that KPIs are distributed to users.
KPI watchlists provide the following KPI performance information:
Label to identify the KPI
• Current status
• Trend status that indicates if performance has increased, decreased, or remained the same, and if any
changes are desirable
• Actual and target values
• Change value and percent identify how much the current value differs from that of the previous
period
18. KPI Watchlist Example
A watchlist is a table that lists scorecard objects (that is, initiatives, objectives, and KPIs) that are related to
a particular aspect of a scorecard or are grouped together for a particular purpose.
