OBIEE 10 to OBIEE 11 Upgrading and New Features
Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) 11g is the most significant release of OBIEE since 2006. The list of enhancements fills a PowerPoint slide with text that is too small to read. Vlamis Software Solutions has been working with this release as a beta customer since the beginning of this monumental release and is ready to assist you with your upgrade plans. Come learn about the new hierarchical columns, map views, OLAP capabilities, and configuration capabilities and much more. By capitalizing on your existing OBIEE 10 knowledge, we can focus on the areas that have changed and deliver a comprehensive class in a short time. We can deliver this course as instructor-led training, either at your location or ours, or remotely using a modular approach, saving on travel costs.
OBIEE 11g/10g - Ad-hoc Query and BI Answers
This one-day, instructor-led course exposes students to Oracle's ad-hoc query environment, called Answers, in the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition suite (OBIEE). Students "learn by doing", completing hands-on exercises that will introduce them to many of the tools available in the Answers environment. In this classroom-style presentation, students learn to develop objects such as simple data tables, pivot tables, charts and graphs, filters, conditional formatting, gauges, and many other objects and features available in BI Answers.
OBIEE 11g/10g - BI Dashboards and BI Delivers
This one-day, instructor-led course exposes students to Oracle's BI Dashboards and automated alerts (BI Delivers), two parts of the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition suite (OBIEE). Students will "learn by doing", completing hands-on exercises that will introduce them to many of the tools available in these two Oracle offerings.
The BI Dashboards portion of the class covers such topics as dashboard design and layout, integrating content developed in the BI Answers environment, using navigation links to access related queries, linking to external content (such as web sites, spreadsheets, and reports), creating and using saved selections and dashboard prompts, and dashboard administration.
The BI Delivers portion of the class covers the development of custom alerts (iBots) in OBIEE, including such topics as defining iBots, iBot personalization, defining trigger conditions for iBot execution, scheduling iBots, and defining recipients, contents, and delivery methods for iBots.
OBIEE 11g/10g - Administration and Metadata Development
This two-day, instructor-led course exposes students to Oracle's BI Administrator, the Window-based tool for managing the Oracle BI Server metadata layer, security, caching, and other features. Students will "learn by doing", completing hands-on exercises that will introduce them to the concepts and techniques required to create an Oracle BI repository. In this classroom-style presentation, students are introduced to the various components of the Oracle BI architecture, then create an Oracle BI repository, starting with importing data sources into the Physical Layer, continuing with the transformation of that data into a Business Model, and finally creating the user-visible Presentation Layer. Students will learn techniques such as creating dimensions and hierarchies, creating time-series data (such as month-ago or year-to-date), using aggregate tables and repository variables, and modeling security.
The course can be customized to incorporate the use of a comprehensive multi-dimensional Oracle OLAP data source, which employs slightly different techniques, primarily within the Business Model layer, for building the repository.
Oracle OLAP Cubes in a Data Warehouse
In this course, students learn the fundamentals of Oracle OLAP and how cubes can provide a smarter way of sharing OLAP data for faster queries in a data warehouse. Students will also become familiar with designing and developing OLAP applications, including how to design, create, and maintain analytic workspaces in the Oracle database. The various ways that the data can be accessed will also be discussed and demonstrated. Additional topics include administration, tuning, storage, and performance monitoring.
OLAP DML - Advanced Development
In this course, students learn to create Analytic Workspaces in Oracle OLAP and to perform analytic analysis of data. Students will also become familiar with using the OLAP data manipulation language to create objects, populate databases, and to perform complex analytical calculations. They explore online analytical processing functionality, including how to aggregate and allocate data, create custom elements, work with subsets, and use the built-in functions to analyze data.
