Fusion Transportation Intelligence Architecture Details :
FTI works with Historic Data and fetches data from Oracle OLTP servers. In practice , keeping in view the performance the data source is generally kept as ROD ( Replication of Operational Database) or DR (Disaster Recovery). Oracle Data Integrator fetches up the data from these repository servers. Diagram below depicts Oracle Data Integrator architecture :
In practice , we trigger ETL process ( Extract , Trasform & Load ) from OTM UI. Once triggered , ODI fetches the data from source repository , transforms the data in to denormalized form ( extended star schema ) and finally , pushes data into Historical Database or commonly known as FTI DB. OBIEE ( Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition ) uses Historical Database for reporting purpose.Finally , OBIEE is linked with OTM/GTM products to access FTI from single UI window.
