Business Analytics components

The components of Business Analytics are as follows:

The installation process creates the KPI Library. The KPI Library is a collection of out-of-the-box KPIs and Metrics.

The steps to follow are:

  • Activate the data sources using Connect Data Source. For details, see Data Management - Connect the Data Sources.

    In the Data Warehouse, the Data Collection Service (DCS) extracts data from source systems to a local file on the Data Warehouse server.

  • Run the ETL using Content Flow Management. Content Flow Management is responsible for managing all ETL steps as parallel streams. For details, see Data Management - Run ETL - Content Flow Management.

  • If needed, you can upload and activate a Content Acceleration Pack (CAP). CAPs include out-of-the-box KPIs and Metrics, Contexts, and Dashboard pages that are build to analyze a specific aspect of the business (PPM, CSA, ALM, and SM). A demo version of the CAP provides data from a .CSV file and can be used for demos or Proof-of-Concepts (POCs). A regular version of the CAP works with data from the relevant data source. You can also create your own CAP. For details, see Data Management - Activate CAPs.

The Content Pack Manager is a utility for the deployment, re-deployment, activation, and deactivation of content.

The Consolidated Entities page enables you to consolidate an entity that appears in different data sources, to prioritize the data sources, to select the relevant entity dimensions (columns), and to select when to use the consolidation. For details, see Data Management - Configure Consolidation.
