[OBIEE 11g] Best Rules -- Catalog Management


 


OBIEE11g Best Rules: Catalog Management



-[Catalog--management]-



- use a transport folder.




Don’t allow all developers to place everything in all shared folders. Have them place it first in “transport” folder. Assign a “librarian” for the shared folder who will check everything and place it in the correct shared folder.



- Add Metadata to the folders:





This makes them better searchable.




- Add structure to the portal:


There are a number of different ways that a portal could be structure to improve efficiency to business users. For instance:


  • Reports could be stored by subject area, such as 'finance', 'sales', 'supply chain' 
  • Reports could be stored in a 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly' directory structure depending on how often they have been designed to be refreshed.
  • Reports could be stored by perspective: 
    • Financial — Groups objectives, initiatives, and KPIs that relate to or support the monetary or economic health and development of your organization.
    • Customer — Groups objectives, initiatives, and KPIs that pertain to or support your client base.
    • Internal Process — Groups objectives, initiatives, and KPIs that categorize and support your corporate internal policies and procedures.
    • Learning and Growth — Groups objectives, initiatives, and KPIs that relate to or support employee training and advancement. 
  • A combination of the above.
