IMPACT™ Analysis
OBI EE USERS know that their repository and catalog files grow significantly as user adoption increases and more and more databases are tapped for their rich data sets. But as the old adage goes, change is inevitable. A data model will change, the focus of the business will change, and the definition of key business metrics will be refined. These changes will affect dashboards, reports, the metadata, and sometimes even ETL. But how do you know what items are affected? One single change can impact tens, hundreds, or even thousands of objects, depending on the size of your OBI EE environment. Using the “hunt-and-peck” method to find everything touched by a change can take hours, days or even weeks of billable time; money that could be better spent on adding value to the business. BICG IMPACT™ can reduce that time to seconds, providing answers to the question, What do I know about my Oracle BI?
