Training
Oracle BI 11g "Advanced" RPD Modelling
This training provides BI Developers and Architects with essential knowledge on the advanced concepts and key fundamentals behind the Oracle BI Server and BI Repository (RPD).
With no fewer than 21 realistic “hands-on” lab sessions, Delegates will receive significant first-hand experience with sophisticated Modelling techniques enabling them to model complex data structures (including Star-Schema, Flat Structures, 3NF, Essbase Cubes, Oracle OLAP cubes, Ragged / Unbalanced Hierarchies).
