4 Peak Indicators Limited 4 What is Peak ETA? Introduction Peak ETA (Extract Transform Aggregate) is a unique innovation developed by Peak Indicators It delivers real business value to Organisations by significantly extending the capabilities of the Exalytics Summary Advisor and the Oracle BI 11g Aggregate Persistence Wizard The key benefits are: In-memory aggregates loaded incrementally and in parallel No downtime (aggregates are fully available whilst being loaded) A GUI console to orchestrate and monitor the loading of aggregates Error Detection Automatic code generation BI Dashboards with alerting capability All this is achieved using standard Exalytics technology and methodology

7 Peak Indicators Limited 7 Real Business Value Example 1 A Global provider of Mobile Satellite Communications: A 27x performance gain achieved using TimesTen in-memory aggregates Peak ETA reduced daily aggregate load time from >14 hours to less than 30 minutes

8 Peak Indicators Limited 8 Real Business Value Example 2 A UK Retailer: 88x performance gain across 9 dashboard achieved using in-memory aggregates Peak ETA reduced daily aggregate load times from >4 hours to 25 minutes

10 Peak Indicators Limited 10 Optimised ETA 1) Incremental Loading The most important Peak ETA optimisation for loading aggregates is the ability to perform and incremental extract and load TimesTen for Exalytics This means we only need to extract the latest changes from the source system The BI Developer provides a simple filter condition that defines the incremental subset for each aggregate Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Incremental load Incremental Extract

11 Peak Indicators Limited 11 Optimised ETA 2) Use Aggregates as a Source Qtr Secondly, Peak ETA makes it far easier to load aggregates directly from other aggregates So we can have multiple layers of aggregates, with each layer using a previous layer as its source: Populate Monthly aggregates from Daily aggregates Populate Quarterly aggregates from Monthly aggregates TimesTen for Exalytics Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Mth Day Incremental load This brings a huge efficiency saving, especially as the source database is now only used to incrementally load the first layer of aggregates all subsequent processing is done within TimesTen Incremental Extract

12 Peak Indicators Limited 12 Optimised ETA 3) Parallel Loading Qtr Finally, the whole process from beginning to end runs completely in parallel Zero additional configuration required to achieve parallel loading TimesTen for Exalytics Mth Day Parallel load Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Parallel Extract

13 Peak ETA Product Overview System Components Peak Indicators Limited 13

14 Peak Indicators Limited 14 System Components Overview Peak ETA consists of 4 components: 1. Peak ETA Console: A J2EE user interface 2. Peak ETA Server: A java-based parallel execution engine to drive the loading of aggregates 3. Peak ETA Repository: A small database repository to store metadata 4. Peak ETA Dashboards A BI Repository (RPD) and BI Dashboards used for read-only monitoring and analysis

15 Peak Indicators Limited 15 System Components Peak ETA Console The Peak ETA Console is a Java application written using Oracle ADF Framework It us built using the same technology used by Oracle Fusion Applications Deployed to Weblogic, alongside Oracle BI 11g No additional Oracle licenses required

16 Peak Indicators Limited 16 System Components Peak ETA Server The Peak ETA Server is a parallel execution engine designed for loading aggregates. It can be initiated using a command-line script or via a button in the Peak ETA Console Being Java based, it can be initiated on any platform Scripts are provided for both Windows and Linux/Unix Compatible with any central scheduling tool

17 Peak Indicators Limited 17 System Components Peak ETA Dashboards BI Dashboards have been created so that anyone can monitor the load process Drill-downs provided for detailed analysis of the loading process for each aggregate BI Delivers can also be configured to send out alerts based on load start/completion/failure

18 Peak ETA Product Overview Supported Data Sources Peak Indicators Limited 18

19 Peak Indicators Limited 19 Supported Data Sources Everything that Exalytics Supports! Peak ETA reuses the exact same code generated by the: Oracle Exalytics Summary Advisor or Oracle BI 11g Aggregate Persistence Wizard TimesTen for Exalytics This means Peak ETA can extract data from any data source supported by Oracle Exalytics Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Peak ETA is designed to load aggregated data into Oracle TimesTen for Exalytics Peak ETA Any Data Source Supported by Oracle BI 11g

20 Peak ETA Product Overview Development Approach Peak Indicators Limited 20

21 Peak Indicators Limited 21 Development Approach Step 1 The first step is simple: you build and fully populate your aggregates using the exact same tools as you currently use with Oracle BI 11g: Exalytics Summary Advisor or Aggregate Persistence Wizard These tools will automatically perform the following: Create of aggregate tables and indexes Fully load of the aggregate tables Model the necessary aggregate metadata into the RPD Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Full Load TimesTen for Exalytics Summary Advisor or Aggregate Persistence Wizard

22 Peak Indicators Limited 22 Development Approach Step 2 Step 2 is even simpler! You just need to do the following: 1. Register the name of each aggregate in the Peak ETA Console 2. Define how each aggregate should be incrementally updated All other code is automatically generated That s it! You now have parallel incremental loading capability for your in-memory aggregates Oracle Business Intelligence 11g TimesTen for Exalytics Incremental Load (in parallel) Peak ETA

23 Peak ETA Product Overview How It Works Peak Indicators Limited 23

24 Peak Indicators Limited 24 How It Works Process Flow - START As the starting point, you have some TimesTen In-Memory Aggregates which have already been built and populated using the Exalytics Summary Advisor (or Aggregate Persistence Wizard) Target Aggregates Oracle Business Intelligence 11g

25 Peak Indicators Limited 25 How It Works Process Flow STEP 1 1. Peak ETA Server issues commands to build a set of Staging Aggregates (identical to the target aggregates). Done automatically no coding required Target Aggregates 1 Staging Aggregates Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Peak ETA

26 Peak Indicators Limited 26 How It Works Process Flow STEP 2 1. Peak ETA Server issues commands to build a set of Staging Aggregates (identical to the target aggregates). Target Aggregates Done automatically no coding required 2. Peak ETA Server instructs Oracle BI Server to populate the Staging Aggregates using an incremental extract and load Oracle Business Intelligence 11g 2 Staging Aggregates Peak ETA

27 Peak Indicators Limited 27 How It Works Process Flow STEP 3 1. Peak ETA Server issues commands to build a set of Staging Aggregates (identical to the target aggregates). Done automatically no coding required 2. Peak ETA Server instructs Oracle BI Server to populate the Staging Aggregates using an incremental extract and load 3. Peak ETA Server issues commands to incrementally update the Target Aggregates from the Staging Aggregates Done automatically no coding required Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Target Aggregates 3 Staging Aggregates Peak ETA

28 Peak Indicators Limited 28 How It Works All Steps Performed in Parallel For maximum efficiency, all parts of the process can be done in parallel Target Aggregates Staging Aggregates Oracle Business Intelligence 11g
