Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 7.9.6 Implementation

Participants will receive a technical overview and gain hands-on understanding of the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (Version 7.9.6) including detailed coverage of the Data Warehouse Administration Console, the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse (OBAW) Data Models, the Out of the Box (OOTB) Dashboards and Reports, and Informatica tools

Participants will be familiarized with the procedures needed to properly install Oracle BI Applications including the Informatica PowerCenter ETL Infrastructure on Windows.

Participants will be familiarized with advanced topics related to integration between BI Applications and the various Oracle Applications (E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and Siebel).

Participants will gain substantial hands-on experience using the Data Warehouse Administration Console in a controlled lab environment where they load a Warehouse that will be verified by using the OOTB Dashboards and Reports built for Oracle BI Enterprise Edition (OBI EE). In addition participants will gain high-level working skills with Informatica PowerCenter tools by creating a custom ETL to load the Data Warehouse. Finally participants will customize OBI EE to create new Dashboard content using the data loaded by the custom ETL.
