Datamart & OBIEE

​​​​​​​​Welcome to your new state of Oregon position! Do you need to access statewide accounting, budget or payroll data? You came to the right place. The Department of Administrative Services' (DAS) Financial Datamart is available to you. It is an electronic warehouse of data, which helps employees develop reports for business information and decision making. 

Datamart Resources Overview

Query Tool

The current query tool supported by this team is 'Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition' (OBIEE or OB1). Agencies are able to use other query tools, however, the Datamart team focuses on supporting one main tool.

​Overview

Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE or OB1) is the query tool set to provide access to Oregon state government's financial Datamart. It is the replacement for the Hyperion (Brio) application.

The application can be  found on​ the following sites. To fully view the site, a user must be connected to state government's network.

OBIEE Shutdown:

The Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) will go off extended support on June 30, 2027. Continuing to use an unsupported product increases the risk of system failure. As a result, the DAS Datamart team will fully retire OBIEE on December 31, 2027. After this date, users will no longer have access to OBIEE files. Please plan accordingly.​

OBIEE Common Questions

​​Passwords

When logging into OBIEE there are two types of agencies, "Sync" and "Non-sync." Learn which type applies to your agency here.

A "sync" agency will use a password that is the same as the user's work computer log on. 

A "non-sync" agency will use the password initially provided by the Agency ARS (Active Roles Server) admin team. This password will be maintained through the OBIEE password manager site. 

Here are instruction to help non-sync users create a profile and management their password: Password Manager User Guide.

Passwords should be updated every 90 days.

Formula Creation

The OBIEE Formulas document provides guidance to employees who will create formulas that access the DAS Datamart using the OBIEE application.

Grouping Field (Bins)

The How to Create a Group ​document detailing how to group fields in OBIEE. This introduces the "bins" function.

Training

Training on the use of OBIEE is required prior to using the application. Please refer to the Training section of this pave for course information.

Repository

The OBIEE repository functions within the OBIEE server environment. All files are created with the OBIEE tool and saved to the OBIEE server. The Datamart team as well as agency users are working on building files for this repository similar to the original Datamart Hyperion repository. Thanks to users throughout the state, we continually obtain new reports to help with day-to-day operations.

To suggest that one of your reports be added to the repository, send a sample and detailed description to datamart.support@das.oregon.gov

Password Resets

OBIEE passwords: visit the OBIEE tab of this accordion and review the section regarding passwords. 

Datamart RACF passwords: visit the Datamart User Maintenance site. 

All Datamart passwords are valid for 90-days. You must update your password before the end of the 90-days or be required to obtain a reset.

Once you receive Datamart security access and an initial temporary password, you have 48 hours to change the password. 

The site is compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome.

Your password also is used when accessing programs that use the RACF ID password structure.   ​​

​​​Overview:

When an employee begins working with the State of Oregon, they are assigned a RACF ID. Some employees will require access to the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Financial Datamart. Access to the DAS Financial Datamart is provided through two types of security:

1. OBIEE Program Security: This is a web-based system that uses Shared Active Directory for authentication.

2. RACF Security via ODBC/DB2: This method allows users to connect using any query tool that supports DB2, such as Excel, Access, Power BI, Tableau, TOAD, and others.

To access the Datamart using RACF security, users must obtain the appropriate RACF access, configure the ODBC connection, and then use their preferred query tool to retrieve accounting, payroll, and budget data.

Obtaining RACF Access:

Contact your Agency Security Officer (ASO). They will help you through the entire process.

​Passwords:

Once your access setup is complete, the DAS RACF administration team will provide you with a temporary password, which expires after 48 hours. Be sure to update this temporary password on the Datamart maintenance site promptly. RACF passwords remain valid for 90 days. It is recommended to set up a pop-up reminder to update your password before it expires. If your password does expire, you will need to request a reset by emailing das.racfuseradm@das.oregon.gov.

Problems:

Contact datamart.support@das.oregon.gov with any issues.
