OU Live Virtual Class : OBIEE11g Advanced Development with Mark Rittman

Just a short note to let everyone know that I'm running a two-day, live virtual class for Oracle University on 23rd and 24th November 2011 around OBIEE 11g "advanced" development. The class will consist of two, four hour sessions over two days, where I'll be talking through a number of the more tricky OBIEE 11g concepts around repository modeling and actionable intelligence.

The agenda for the event is as follows:

Day 1 : 2:00pm – 6pm CET : Oracle BI Repository development:

In this session, we will look at intermediate-to-advanced techniques with the Oracle BI Repository, with a particular focus on what’s new with the 11g release (version 11.1.1.5).

We will cover the following topics, using slides and online demos: -

  • Vertical and horizontal federation
  • Fragmentation (combining real-time and historic data)
  • Modeling advanced hierarchies (ragged, skip-level, parent-child)
  • Lookup functions and tables
  • Logical vs. Physical column calculations
  • Modeling Essbase data

We will also look at repository lifecycle topics such as managing repository files using Enterprise Manager and WLST scripting and patching repositories using the Oracle BI Administration tool.

Day 2 : 2:00pm – 6pm CET : Oracle BI Actionable Intelligence

On this second day, we will look at the integration and automation features of Oracle Business Intelligence 11g, using the Action Framework. We will look at how business intelligence and ADF functionality can be brought together to create custom business intelligence applications, how web services can be leveraged (including security implications) and how BI can be automated using Agents.

Topics we will cover include:

  • Creating navigation and invocation actions
  • Registering web services and working with the credential store
  • Accessing ADF view objects as data sources
  • Integrating BI objects into ADF applications
  • Creating agents to automate business intelligence tasks

If you've wanted to attend this sort of technical, intensive-type of training particularly around RPDs and the Action Framework, but you couldn't get the budget to travel, this is an excellent opportunity to learn about these topics in an interactive, online environment.

The cost of the two half-days is £580 or local equivalent, and you can book through Oracle University, on this web page. As always with these sort of events though, book now before they end up cancelling it ;-)
