Part 3 - Configure OBI Exports

Note: Configure OBI Keywords before starting this part of the process. See OBI Setup, "Assign OBI Keywords" section for information on this.

OBI exports must be configured and sent to the cloud environment. Once configuration is complete, the OXI processor will pick up the OBI exports and upload the data from PMS/ORS to an OXI Servlet hosted on the OBI Cloud. In PMS, the OBI exports will be included in the Night Audit Exports process. In ORS, you will schedule a job through OPERA Scheduler and the exports will be sent as part of the BI Client - Export Daily Data to BI Cloud job.

The OBI export configuration process involves two parts:

  1. Configuring the OBI Exports
  2. Generating the OBI Export Data

Configuring the OBI Exports

Ensure the below requirements are met:

  1. Select Setup > Configuration > Setup > Client Business Intelligence Setup > Configure OBI Exports to open the OBI Client Export Configuration screen.
  2. Complete the following fields:

    Cube

    Select the down arrow and choose data cubes from the list of values. The system will generate the corresponding Dimension and Datamart exports for the selected cubes.

    Interface

    Select the down arrow and choose an external interface for the export.

    Override Configuration (optional)

    Select to override the existing export configuration. When selected, the system will inactivate the existing export and generate a new one.
  3. Select OK to save the export configuration.

    Note: When you select OK, the OBI exports (see "Generating the OBI Export Data" below) will auto populate on the Export File List screen.

Generating the OBI Export Data

  1. Select Setup > Configuration > Setup > Client Business Intelligence Setup > OBI Exports to open the Export File List screen.
  2. Select the Edit button.
  3. Select Delivery Configuration. The Export File Delivery Configuration screen opens.
  4. In the Host/URL field, verify the export is going to the correct server. This should be the server name entered for the OBI Export Receiver Server Name application setting.
