Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g: Implementation Part II

Course details

This course in Oracle Warehouse Builder provides students information to successfully implement new projects and extend existing projects to include OLAP (multi-dimensional) data models. Students learn to deliver on the knowledge requirements of their organization by encapsulating expertise. This is done in the form of a feature called Experts – empowering broader audiences to use OWB functionality to accomplish particular task flows, and also to help implement/enforce standards and best practices. Note: The current version of this course is presented using OWB 10gR2, however this course is also suitable for OWB 11gR1 customers. The user interface differences between OWB 10gR2 and 11gR1 are very minor and hence are not included in this course's lab practices.
