Tracking the running reports in OBIEE 11g

 
I faced a rather strange but relatively simple requirement a few days back. The client had employed a resource to refresh the sessions page and capture the running queries from it and mail it to a team that dealt with performance tuning. This is certainly not the most efficient resource management.

It is strange that OBIEE has an elaborate mechanism of Usage Tracking but this system does not capture the running analysis. It captures the info only after the queries have fetched the desired results and not while they are still running.

This post talks about devising a programmatic way of capturing the info about running analysis/reports in OBIEE 11g.
