Oracle BI Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) 11g: Boot Camp

Course:  OBIBC
Duration:  5 Days
Level:  I
Course Summary

This course will help students learn how to use Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE). It covers key elements in the OBIEE suite, including tools to build interactive dashboards, perform ad hoc analysis, configure information deliveries, alerts and produce reporting. Students will learn how to create tables, charts, narratives, and pivot tables.

Students begin by using the Oracle BI Administration Tool to construct repositories. They will import schemas, design and build logical business models, and expose business models to users in the Oracle BI user interface. In the process of constructing the repository, students learn how to build physical and logical joins, simple measures, and calculation measures. They also learn how to validate their work by creating and running analyses, and verifying query results using the query log.

Students will use the more complex business requirements, such as logical dimension hierarchies, multiple logical table sources, aggregate tables, partitions, and time series data.
