PURPOSE
This guide describes techniques for monitoring and optimizing the performance of Oracle Business Intelligence
Enterprise Edition (OBIEE)11g components.
This guide is intended as a post-install performance reference and is not intended to help you plan your OBIEE
installation.
For information on planning your installation sizing and capacity (pre-install), please see Note 1323646.1, Oracle BI EE
Architectural Deployment: Capacity Planning.

SCOPE
One of the most challenging aspects of performance tuning is knowing where to begin.
This guide is intended as a performance resource and reference for OBIEE 11g Administrators and provides tips on
monitoring, analyzing and tuning the Fusion Middleware/OBIEE 11g components.
This document is written for people who monitor performance and tune the components in a BI
environment. It is assumed that readers know server administration, Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW),
hardware performance tuning fundamentals, web servers, java application servers and database.

DETAILS

Disclaimer:
All tuning information stated in this guide is only for orientation, every modification has to be tested and its impact
should be monitored and analyzed.
Before implementing any of the tuning settings, it is recommended that you first carry out end-to-end performance
testing to obtain baseline performance data for the default configurations. Then make incremental changes to the
tuning settings and collect performance data. By testing each change in an incremental manner, you can ensure
that changes are working as expected and that performance degradation does not occur. Making direct changes
without first obtaining baseline data, could worsen the system performance. Performance tuning in OBIEE 11g is a
complex and iterative process.

To get you started, the following guide lists recommendations to help you optimize your OBIEE 11g performance.
