Oracle Oracle Business Intelligence Foundation Suite 11g Essentials 1z0-591 Exam Dumps: Updated Questions & Answers (October 2025)

You do not use ODBC DSN to compare repositories.

Note: When an ODBC based application connects to a database, it connects to a logical name, the Data Source Name (DSN), which identifies the datasource to which it wants to connect.

Some external repository of configuration information holds the various DSN values that are available, together with the necessary configuration and control information needed by the ODBC driver to establish a connection and manage usage of the data source.

The DSN (data source name) is a data structure that contains the information about a specific data source (database, …), typically used by an ODBC driver to be able to connect to it.

The DSN contains information about the data source such as:

the name,

the directory,

and the driver.

On Windows, the DSN also specifies the ODBC driver to be used to access the database.

Decrease query response time which will improve performance for Dashboards and Analysis.

Security Realms are an Oracle Platform Security Services concept and bring together sets of users, groups, providers and so on for a WebLogic domain.

You can control the way that the interface for Oracle BI EE is displayed to users by creating skins and styles.

While skins and styles are typically used to customize the look and feel of analyses and dashboards by providing logos, color schemes, fonts, table borders, and other elements, they can also be used to control the position and justification of various elements by including specialized style tags in the relevant style sheet (.css) file.

You can check the directory skin location with a right click on a OBIEE dashboard page, select show source code and search “custom.css”.

B: Example:

1. Configure the new source table to have the 'logical level' under the content set to 'Countries' (the summarized level)

b

2. Do the similiar setting for dimension table

Now when user query the data at 'Counties' level, the query will be redirected to these summary table instead of the more detail fact table

Note: Aggregate tables are Physical tables that store Aggregates of measures across multiple levels of a Hierarchy.

Initialization blocks are used to initialize dynamic repository variables, system session variables, and nonsystem session variables.

Ragged Hierarchies are hierarchies where some routes down the hierarchy are longer than others; for example, you may have an organizational hierarchy for salespeople where the overall boss has two assistant managers, one of them works on their own and another has three sales managers under them; some of those sales manager may have sales staff under them, and some sales staff may have trainees under them.

It is a best practice to create aliases for all tables. Aliases are created in the Physical Layer of the repository. Some of the benefits of using aliases are given below:

(A) * An alias is used to avoid circular joins and to configure self joins.

* You can create a join relationship which is different than the actual foreign key relationship in the database. This helps in defining relationships to meet business model criteria.

* Aliases can function in numerous ways to define business model e.g. a table can act both as a dimension and a fact using aliases.

(B) * You can rename aliases to make physical and business model easier to understand.

Note 1: OBIEE offers two calculation types for measure in the repository:

logical

physical

You can define calculations in either of the following ways:

* Before the aggregation, in the logical table source.

* After the aggregation, in a logical column derived from two other logical columns. For example: sum(col A) * sum(col B)

Note 2: A measure column is a column unlike the baseline column that has a default aggregation rule defined in the Aggregation tab of the Logical Column dialog in the repository.

Measure columns always calculate the aggregation with which they are defined.

Measures need to be defined in a logical fact. Any column with an aggregation rule is a measure.

Security Manager – is used to setup users, groups, synchronize LDAP users and Groups, set access rights for Objects (tables, columns) and to control over when and what data a user can access.

Note: When you open the administration tool, you can reach the security manager by the Menu :

Manage > Security
