Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6: Implementation for Oracle EBS

Duration: 4 Days

What you will learn

This Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6: Implementation for Oracle EBS training provides step-by-step procedures for
installing, designing, customizing and configuring Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Applications and Oracle Business
Intelligence Warehouse (OBAW). It begins by exploring Oracle BI Applications components and architecture.

Learn To:

Install and configure Oracle Business Intelligence Applications and Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse.
Explore prebuilt ETL metadata, including Informatica workflows and mappings and DAC metadata.
Use the Data Warehouse Administration Console (DAC) to configure, manage and load the Oracle Business Analytics
Warehouse.
Customize Informatica and DAC metadata.
Customize the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse.
Manage Oracle Business Analytics Applications security and performance.
Explore the prebuilt extract, transform and load (ETL) metadata that ships with the products to gain an understanding of
the ETL process and the relationships between the architecture components.
Review Informatica ETL tools by building custom ETL mappings and workflows.

Benefits to You

Enrolling in this course gives you the opportunity to view demonstrations of the installation steps and then perform
post-installation configuration of Oracle BI Applications, OBAW and supporting technology. After the initial exploration,
you’ll use Informatica and the Data Warehouse Administration Console (DAC) to configure ETL metadata and run an
execution plan to load Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) data into the OBAW. After the data is loaded, expert Oracle
University instructors will teach you how to customize the OBAW by adding columns to an existing dimension table,
along with adding a new dimension.
