1 Introduction 1

1 Introduction

This book provides information about the data warehouse component of Oracle Commerce Business

Intelligence and the information that it contains. Use it to understand the data when developing reports and

maintaining the data warehouse database.

The data warehouse is a relational data base optimized for reporting and analysis. It contains information

about the activity on your Oracle Commerce Platform products and Web sites. A data loader server extracts

information about product activity and stores it in the data warehouse.

Oracle ATG Web Commerce Business Intelligence includes a data model, analyses, and dashboards that run

in the Oracle Business Intelligence reporting tool. These analyses are based on the data gathered in the data

warehouse.

• See information about configuring the data model and report definitions in Oracle Business Intelligence in the

Business Intelligence Installation and Configuration Guide.

• See information about the Oracle Business Intelligence analyses and dashboards provided with Oracle ATG

Web Commerce in the Reports Guide.

• See complete information about installing and using Oracle Business Intelligence in the documentation for

that product (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/documentation/bi-

ee-087853.html).

The chapters of this book contain references to file paths in the installation directory of your Oracle ATG Web

Commerce software. This installation directory is identified as <ATG11dir>.

Data Model for Oracle Business Intelligence

Oracle Commerce Business Intelligence includes a data model for use with Oracle Business Intelligence. The data

model is an intermediate layer that connects the Oracle Commerce Platform data warehouse to the analyses in

Oracle Business Intelligence. The data model presents the data that is stored in the data warehouse to report

authors and it also defines calculations that are useful in reports. For example, the data warehouse contains

records of each visit to your Web sites and the data model includes a calculation that counts the number of site

visits and presents the total to report authors.

Each field in the data model includes a description field that explains the source of the data and how

calculations are performed. You can read those descriptions while browsing through the data model in the

Oracle Business Intelligence interfaces. See complete information about installing and using Oracle Business

Intelligence in the documentation for that product (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-

enterprise-edition/documentation/bi-ee-087853.html).

Each section includes a description of the tables and, if applicable, how the information is updated in the data

warehouse. Some tables contain information that should be regularly reloaded, while others contain static data.

Time Tables

The data warehouse tables used to store information about time are described in the following sections. It is

made up of ten tables, seven of which are used to store an instant in time and three which are used to store

auxiliary data.

The tables beginning with ARF_TIME store data about an instant in time. In essence they provide individual

access every piece of data that might be represented in a timestamp. This allows the same report query to

be used with multiple databases, which may have different date and time storage. It also improves report

Unregistered Sites in Oracle Commerce Business Intelligence

Oracle Commerce Platform Web sites may be registered or unregistered. Registered sites are configured

using the Site Administration utility in the Business Control Center. The Site Administration utility supports

multiple sites and it logs distinguishing information about each site that is loaded into the data warehouse.

See the Multisite Administration Guide. Unregistered sites are configured without using the Site Administration

utility. Only one unregistered site may be configured and Core Commerce does not log the distinguishing site

information that would be included in the data warehouse ARF_SITE (page 23) table.

If your site is unregistered, Oracle Commerce Business Intelligence will represent it with the default record in

the ARF_SITE table. The values in the default record will appear in reports that include site information. Default

values for the ARF_SITE table are shown below.

Site Visit Durations

Oracle Commerce Business Intelligence records the duration of site visits in several ways. These duration

measurements are stored in columns of the ARF_SITE_VISIT table. The measurements in each column are

explained in the following sections.

DURATION_SECONDS

The DURATION_SECONDS column stores the entire length of the HTTP session in which a site visit occurs. If the

session ends by timing out, DURATION_SECONDS includes the time that passes after the last HTTP request.

The following diagram shows the period of time measured in the DURATION_SECONDS column.


TOTAL_ELAPSED_DURATION_SECONDS

The TOTAL_ELAPSED_DURATION_SECONDS column stores the number of seconds that pass between the first

and last HTTP requests of the HTTP session in which a site visit occurs. It does not matter which sites the first and

last HTTP response occur in.

The following diagram shows the period of time measured in the TOTAL_ELAPSED_DURATION_SECONDS

column.

SITE_VISIT_DURATION_SECONDS

The SITE_VISIT_DURATION_SECONDS column stores the number of seconds between the first and last HTTP

requests at a site during an HTTP session. A user may visit other sites and then return to the original site during


this period. If the HTTP session ends by timing out, SITE_VISIT_DURATION_SECONDS does not include the time

that passes after the last HTTP request.

The following diagram shows the period of time measured in the SITE_VISIT_DURATION_SECONDS column.

RESOURCE_DURATION_SECONDS

The RESOURCE_DURATION_SECONDS column stores the total number of seconds that a user spends at a site

during an HTTP session. Each site visit in the session is measured between the first HTTP request of a site visit

and one of the following events.

• The user visits another site.

• The user logs out of the site and the HTTP session ends.

• The last HTTP request occurs before the session times out.

The following diagram shows the individual site visits that total the duration in RESOURCE_DURATION_SECONDS.

5 Aggregated Data 67

5 Aggregated Data

The data warehouse includes aggregated data that is calculated based on the data stored in the transaction fact

tables. Components running on the data warehouse loader server refresh the calculated data at regular intervals

so that it is available for reports. Performing intensive calculations before they are needed improves the speed of

the queries that use the calculated data.

The aggregated data calculations are presented as virtual tables by materialized views in Oracle Database

schemas. Other supported database products provide views or other comparable functions to make aggregated

data available. See Aggregated Data Tables (page 67).

The views that contain aggregated data include columns that group the data according to related dimensional

information. For example, the ARF_SITE_VISIT_MV view includes a DAY_ID column. Each value in this

grouping column represents one calendar day. The calculations in each row are restricted to data associated

with the calendar day in the DAY_ID column. Multiple grouping columns in a view restrict the calculations to the

data that is associated with the dimensional information in each grouping column.

See information about the data warehouse loader server components that refresh the aggregated data in

Refreshing Aggregated Data (page 82).

Aggregated Data Tables

This section provides information about the view virtual tables that hold aggregated data in the data

warehouse.

Refreshing Aggregated Data

Update the aggregated data in the views after the data warehouse loader server completes loading new

reporting information. The /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/RefreshService component on

the data warehouse server is configured to update the aggregated data according to a schedule. By default, it

updates the aggregated data every day at 06:00 server time.

Set the schedule property of the /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/RefreshService if you need

to alter the time that this component updates your aggregated data. The RefreshService component uses

the Oracle Commerce Core Platform scheduling services. See information about the scheduling services and

configuring a schedule in the Platform Programming Guide.

Refreshing Individual Views

The /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/RefreshService component invokes a list of other

components that refresh individual views. If you need finer control of the refreshing schedule for individual

views, set the schedule property of one of the individual refresh launchers. The individual view refresh launcher

components are:

• /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/sitevisit/SiteVisitRefreshLauncher

• /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/registration/RegistrationRefreshLauncher

• /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/call/CallRefreshLauncher

• /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/lineitem/LineItemRefreshLauncher

• /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/promotionusage/PromotionUsageRefreshLauncher


Remove an individual view refresh launcher component from the list that atg/reporting/datawarehouse/

refresh/RefreshService invokes if you schedule it individually. The list of individual view refresh launcher

components is stored in the refreshables property of atg/reporting/dataware.
