• ODI Agent - This component is a Java EE Agent, which handles schedules and orchestrates sessions.

Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse Repository

• Business Analytics Warehouse - The Business Analytics Warehouse is a unified data repository for all customer-centric data, which supports the analytical requirements of the supported source systems. The Business Analytics Warehouse is supported only on Oracle Database.

Oracle BI Applications Repositories

• Business Intelligence Applications Components Repository (BIACOMP) - This is the repository for Configuration Manager and Functional Setup Manager. It contains load plan definitions as well as BI Applications product hierarchy, setup objects, such as parameters and domain mappings, and a list of functional tasks. This repository is supported only on Oracle Database.

• Business Intelligence Applications I/O Schema - This schema is a mirror schema and is used by all other components to read the BIACOMP schema. It supports read/write of configuration and functional setup data through ETL processes.

• ODI Repository for BI Applications - This repository contains the BI Applications-specific prebuilt ETL logic.

Client Tier

The client host machine hosts the Configuration Manager and ODI Console, which users access through Web browsers. This tier also includes the Load Plan Generator Plug-in, a client version of the Load Plan Generator, which is deployed into ODI Studio and enables you to manage load plans from ODI Studio. The Load Plan Generator Plug-in requires ODI SDK to be installed.
