Hyperion IR/Brio to OBIEE: Automated Report Conversion Made Efficient

Many organizations have sought to migrate from Hyperion IR/Brio to OBIEE 12c. While OBIEE introduced architectural enhancements over Hyperion, Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) now serves as its successor, offering even broader enterprise-grade capabilities.

Automated conversion from Hyperion IR/Brio to OBIEE or OAS for modern, scalable enterprise reporting.

Why Businesses Are Moving from Hyperion IR/Brio to OBIEE

Converting from Hyperion IR/Brio to OBIEE is more than a product switch—it’s an upgrade to a platform built for multi-source analytics, shared dashboards, and role-based data governance. Unlike Hyperion IR/Brio, OBIEE provides reusable metadata via its RPD layer and supports connectivity to any JDBC-compliant data source.

Limitations of Hyperion IR/Brio Reporting

Hyperion IR/Brio relied on single-use models, unique per report, which limited secure data sharing, caching, and collaboration. Each BQY file contained its own logic, creating fragmented BI environments that could not scale for enterprise needs.

Key Advantages of OBIEE and OAS

Ad hoc analytics with interactive dashboards
Metadata-driven architecture (business model layer)
Web-based layout editors
Role-specific data visibility
Flexible scheduling and bursting
Integration with cloud and on-prem systems

For organizations considering a future-proof solution, Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) offers all OBIEE features, plus modern visualization, AI/ML integration, and cloud readiness.

Conversion Complexity from Hyperion IR/Brio to OBIEE

Migrating BQY files to OBIEE involves several layers :

Sections and views must be rebuilt using Answers.
Brio’s native logic and JavaScript must be translated into OBIEE expressions.
The data model must be transformed into OBIEE’s Business Model and Presentation Layer (RPD).
