Announcing : Rittman Mead OBIEE 11g Training Days 2010

July 22nd, 2010 by Mark Rittman

I’m very pleased to announce our third annual Rittman Mead Training Days event, this time focusing on OBIEE 11g and running in London, Atlanta and Bangalore in October and November 2010.

Our previous two Training Days events covered a range of Oracle BI topics, but with the launch of OBIEE 11g we want to focus just on OBIEE. We’ll be covering everything from installation and configuration through to report writing, creating KPIs and scorecards, right through to BI Publisher 11g and the Action Framework, and the event is aimed at developers who have a basic understanding of BI and OBIEE 10g.

Here’s the agenda for the three days:

Day 1

1. OBIEE 11g Installation, Configuration, Architecture and FMW11g Integration
2. Best Practices for OBIEE 11g RPD Design and Metadata Modeling
3. Analysis, Visualizations and Dashboards using OBIEE 11g

Day 2

4. Actionable Intelligence using OBIEE 11g
5. Essbase Integration with OBIEE 11g
6. Creating Scorecards and KPIs using OBIEE 11g

Day 3

7. Scaleout, Clustering and High Availability using OBIEE 11g
8. Upgrading OBIEE 10g Installations to OBIEE 11g
9. Diagnostics, Troubleshooting and Optimization of OBIEE 11g

For the events in London and Atlanta, we are putting together some hands-on labs that we’ll be using during the sessions. Delegates can bring along their own laptops and software and work with us to build a complete example system, which they’ll then be able to take back to their offices to carry on using. For the Bangalore event, we’re running this more as a seminar, but again we’ll give you the labs and data and you’ll be able to try them out back in the office.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn OBIEE 11g from some of the longest-running beta testers of the product, giving you an opportunity to learn the new release quickly and gain lots of insights into its inner workings. Details on the dates, locations and how to book are on the event website, but hurry previous events of this type sold out in just a few weeks.

    @Rich – I’ve sent you an email with details on how to register, thanks

    @Stephan – probably not, this is the main EMEA event. However I may come over at some point as part of the OU BI Masterclass series.

    @Kranthi – full details are on the web page (http://www.rittmanmead.com/trainingdays2010), basically it’s Rs.25,000 for the three days, and you get to take the materials + sample data home with you.

    Mark,

    Im vry vry eager to join the training, couple of things wanted to check:-

    1. Install/configure/admin/upgrade will all tht be starting from basics or do we need to have thorough understanding frm OBIEE10G beforehand
    Any pre-requisites for training ??

    2. The training at banglore will be LVC based. Am I correct ?

    3. Being not much experience with OBIEE just at starting level, however coming from ERP domain before will i be able to cope up with the pace of training ??

    Regards
    Sohel

    Hi Sohel,

    Thanks for the enquiry. To answer your questions:

    1. It will be from basics, but we will refer to the 10g install process at certain points in order to put the 11g process in context.

    2. There are no prerequisites for training – however please bear in mind that the Bangalore event will be seminar/lecture-style, rather than with hands-on labs. For London and Atlanta we are providing hands-on labs for people that bring their own laptops and software, but we believe this will be impractical in Bangalore, hence running the event seminar-style. However we will provide hard copies of the labs together with the sample data, if you want to practice them back at your office.

    3. I’m not sure what you mean by LVC-based. Can you clarify?

    4. Yes, you will, though we will cover a lot of material during the three days. It would be good if you could download OBIEE 11g when it becomes available and at least familiarize yourself with it before the training starts, so that you get the maximum benefit from the three days.

    regards

    Mark

    hi ,

    I would like who is the trainer and y there is no hand on Lab in 3 days training in Bangalore if u could that would be gr8 …
    rest seems ok

    it will be better if there is hand on LAB included

  10. Mark Rittman Says:

    Hi Vasavya,

    The trainers are likely to be myself, and Venkat Janakiraman.

    The reason there are no planned hands-on labs in Bangalore, is that in the UK and USA we are asking delegates to bring their own laptops and copies of the OBIEE 11g software to perform the labs (we are not able to provide hardware and software ourselves). We felt however that might not be practical in Bangalore and therefore took the decision not to offer hands-on labs.

    regards

    Mark,

    In Bangalore it will be possible for people to come with their own laptops with software installed. Also not sure if you can explore the option of VMware Virtualization Products. This way people will need just the DVD Player and the client.

    Regards
    Anand

    @Anand,

    You are welcome to bring your own laptop, and practice the labs in breaks, in the evening, or during the sessions. We will give the labs out at the start of the days to anyone who is interested, however we will not allocate time to these, spending more time on the lectures instead.

    regards, Mark

    Mark,

    Is there a possibility of having the OBIEE 11g training in the Washington D.C area in the near future?
    Regards,
    Anu

    @Anu

    Unfortunately, Atlanta will be the only location for the time being.

    regards, Mark
