Introduction
This book provides information about the data warehouse component of Oracle Commerce Business
Intelligence and the information that it contains. Use it to understand the data when developing reports and
maintaining the data warehouse database.
The data warehouse is a relational data base optimized for reporting and analysis. It contains information
about the activity on your Oracle Commerce Platform products and Web sites. A data loader server extracts
information about product activity and stores it in the data warehouse.
Oracle ATG Web Commerce Business Intelligence includes a data model, analyses, and dashboards that run
in the Oracle Business Intelligence reporting tool. These analyses are based on the data gathered in the data
warehouse.
See information about configuring the data model and report definitions in Oracle Business Intelligence in the
Business Intelligence Installation and Configuration Guide.
See information about the Oracle Business Intelligence analyses and dashboards provided with Oracle ATG
Web Commerce in the Reports Guide.
See complete information about installing and using Oracle Business Intelligence in the documentation for
that product (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/documentation/biee-087853.html).
The chapters of this book contain references to file paths in the installation directory of your Oracle ATG Web
Commerce software. This installation directory is identified as <ATG11dir>.
Data Model for Oracle Business Intelligence

Oracle Commerce Business Intelligence includes a data model for use with Oracle Business Intelligence. The data
model is an intermediate layer that connects the Oracle Commerce Platform data warehouse to the analyses in
Oracle Business Intelligence. The data model presents the data that is stored in the data warehouse to report
authors and it also defines calculations that are useful in reports. For example, the data warehouse contains
records of each visit to your Web sites and the data model includes a calculation that counts the number of site
visits and presents the total to report authors.
Each field in the data model includes a description field that explains the source of the data and how
calculations are performed. You can read those descriptions while browsing through the data model in the
Oracle Business Intelligence interfaces. See complete information about installing and using Oracle Business
Intelligence in the documentation for that product (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bienterprise-edition/documentation/bi-ee-087853.html).

1 Introduction
Common Database Tables
This chapter describes the data warehouse database tables created by the arf_ddl.sql script. These tables are
used for many Oracle Commerce Platform application reports. This chapter includes the following sections:
Time Tables (page 3)
Internal User Directory Tables (page 10)
External User Tables (page 12)
Demographic Tables (page 15)
Segment Tables (page 20)
Stimulus Group Tables (page 22)
Site Table (page 23)
Site Visit Table (page 26)
Currency Table (page 31)
Referrer Table (page 32)
Registration Table (page 33)
Platform ERD (page 35)
Each section includes a description of the tables and, if applicable, how the information is updated in the data
warehouse. Some tables contain information that should be regularly reloaded, while others contain static data.
Time Tables
The data warehouse tables used to store information about time are described in the following sections. It is
made up of ten tables, seven of which are used to store an instant in time and three which are used to store
auxiliary data.
The tables beginning with ARF_TIME store data about an instant in time. In essence they provide individual
access every piece of data that might be represented in a timestamp. This allows the same report query to
be used with multiple databases, which may have different date and time storage. It also improves report

ARF_SEGCLSTR
A segment cluster represents the group of segments of which a particular person is a member. For example,
Segment A
Segment B
Segment C
Segment D
Segment E
Segments B and D are a bold cluster, while C and E are an Italic cluster. There are 2^5 possible combinations of
two segments in this example; each potential cluster must have a unique name.
Since a person can belong to multiple segments, reporting sales by segment alone can give deceptive results.
Segment clusters show how users group themselves.

Unregistered Sites in Oracle Commerce Business Intelligence

Oracle Commerce Platform Web sites may be registered or unregistered. Registered sites are configured
using the Site Administration utility in the Business Control Center. The Site Administration utility supports
multiple sites and it logs distinguishing information about each site that is loaded into the data warehouse.
See the Multisite Administration Guide. Unregistered sites are configured without using the Site Administration
utility. Only one unregistered site may be configured and Core Commerce does not log the distinguishing site
information that would be included in the data warehouse ARF_SITE (page 23) table.
If your site is unregistered, Oracle Commerce Business Intelligence will represent it with the default record in
the ARF_SITE table. The values in the default record will appear in reports that include site information. Default
values for the ARF_SITE table are shown below.

Site Visit Durations

Oracle Commerce Business Intelligence records the duration of site visits in several ways. These duration
measurements are stored in columns of the ARF_SITE_VISIT table. The measurements in each column are
explained in the following sections.
DURATION_SECONDS
The DURATION_SECONDS column stores the entire length of the HTTP session in which a site visit occurs. If the
session ends by timing out, DURATION_SECONDS includes the time that passes after the last HTTP request.
The following diagram shows the period of time measured in the DURATION_SECONDS column.
28
The TOTAL_ELAPSED_DURATION_SECONDS column stores the number of seconds that pass between the first
and last HTTP requests of the HTTP session in which a site visit occurs. It does not matter which sites the first and
last HTTP response occur in.
The following diagram shows the period of time measured in the TOTAL_ELAPSED_DURATION_SECONDS
column.
SITE_VISIT_DURATION_SECONDS
The SITE_VISIT_DURATION_SECONDS column stores the number of seconds between the first and last HTTP
requests at a site during an HTTP session. A user may visit other sites and then return to the original site during
29
this period. If the HTTP session ends by timing out, SITE_VISIT_DURATION_SECONDS does not include the time
that passes after the last HTTP request.
The following diagram shows the period of time measured in the SITE_VISIT_DURATION_SECONDS column.
RESOURCE_DURATION_SECONDS
The RESOURCE_DURATION_SECONDS column stores the total number of seconds that a user spends at a site
during an HTTP session. Each site visit in the session is measured between the first HTTP request of a site visit
and one of the following events.
The user visits another site.
The user logs out of the site and the HTTP session ends.
The last HTTP request occurs before the session times out.
The following diagram shows the individual site visits that total the duration in RESOURCE_DURATION_SECONDS.

4 Commerce Service Center Database Tables
Aggregated Data
The data warehouse includes aggregated data that is calculated based on the data stored in the transaction fact
tables. Components running on the data warehouse loader server refresh the calculated data at regular intervals
so that it is available for reports. Performing intensive calculations before they are needed improves the speed of
the queries that use the calculated data.
The aggregated data calculations are presented as virtual tables by materialized views in Oracle Database
schemas. Other supported database products provide views or other comparable functions to make aggregated
data available. See Aggregated Data Tables (page 67).
The views that contain aggregated data include columns that group the data according to related dimensional
information. For example, the ARF_SITE_VISIT_MV view includes a DAY_ID column. Each value in this
grouping column represents one calendar day. The calculations in each row are restricted to data associated
with the calendar day in the DAY_ID column. Multiple grouping columns in a view restrict the calculations to the
data that is associated with the dimensional information in each grouping column.
See information about the data warehouse loader server components that refresh the aggregated data in
Refreshing Aggregated Data (page 82).

Refreshing Aggregated Data

Update the aggregated data in the views after the data warehouse loader server completes loading new
reporting information. The /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/RefreshService component on
the data warehouse server is configured to update the aggregated data according to a schedule. By default, it
updates the aggregated data every day at 06:00 server time.
Set the schedule property of the /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/RefreshService if you need
to alter the time that this component updates your aggregated data. The RefreshService component uses
the Oracle Commerce Core Platform scheduling services. See information about the scheduling services and
configuring a schedule in the Platform Programming Guide.
Refreshing Individual Views

The /atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/RefreshService component invokes a list of other
components that refresh individual views. If you need finer control of the refreshing schedule for individual
views, set the schedule property of one of the individual refresh launchers. The individual view refresh launcher
components are:
/atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/sitevisit/SiteVisitRefreshLauncher
/atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/registration/RegistrationRefreshLauncher
/atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/call/CallRefreshLauncher
/atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/lineitem/LineItemRefreshLauncher
/atg/reporting/datawarehouse/refresh/promotionusage/PromotionUsageRefreshLauncher
82
5 Aggregated Data
Remove an individual view refresh launcher component from the list that atg/reporting/datawarehouse/
refresh/RefreshService invokes if you schedule it individually. The list of individual view refresh launcher
components is stored in the refreshables property of atg/reporting/dataware.
