Oracle have made available a free online training course on Oracle 9iAS release 2. Called  'Oracle 9iAS 9.0.2 By Example', it takes you through setting up the 9iAS server, deploying J2EE applications, building and deploying wireless applications, and, most importantly, using the business intelligence features of 9iAS.

The business intelligence part of the course takes you through the following areas;

  • Create Business Intelligence Applications Using Oracle9i JDeveloper BI Beans
  • Analyze Sales History Information Using Oracle9iAS Discoverer View and Discoverer Plus
  • Integrate Oracle9iAS Portal Discoverer and Portal

It's well worth taking a look at as it goes into some detail, and it's free.There's also an accompanying Oracle 9i By Example course that covers some of the server side elements required for BI Beans and Discoverer.
