Happy New Year! 2011 was extremely difficult to blog not just for me – but for so many other OBIEE bloggers – I re-visited links on my right hand side and noticed that many people didn’t post anything for several months.In some way it makes me feel better as I am not the only one who is not writing on a regular basis. On the other hand, I realized that blogging about OBIEE is what can keep me in better shape technically and let me study new practices and topics. I can only assume that this business intelligence writing block is due to workload and other commitments. I have not made any OBIEE New Year resolutions, however, it seems as my goal is to have at least a posting per week. I’ll try to focus on OBIEE 11g topics as well as some general business intelligence topics. I’m also going to analyze interesting bugs I can find from Oracle’s support.
I have seen an excellent post by Stewart Bryson – Agile Data Warehousing with Exadata and OBIEE: Model-Driven Iteration – he continues to write about a very relevant topic – OBIEE agile development. It’s absolutely necessary to have an idea about this topics since more and more companies and organizations are researching agile development.
I’ve read this with great interest and waiting for more. I also made a point to check Christian Screen’s podcasts – ArtOfBI.com Podcast on iTunes.
Thank you very much for visiting and please leave a comment suggesting which topics you’d like to have covered.
Hello. Just finished moving the site to a new hosting. Still in testing. Please let me know if you find something wrong with it. Thank you for your patience.
There’re many interesting things happening in Oracle BI World and I can’t wait to write about those.
Sometimes thoughts materialize – in this case, I was thinking – wouldn’t it be great if Oracle provided a configured instance of OBIEE 11G – with everything pre-configured so that it’d be easy to get evaluate it quickly without going through the pains of learning new application server (Weblogic) and installation steps.
It seems as I was heard. I’m grateful to several people making me aware of the new app:
Today I read an article by Jeff McQuigg (a leading Oracle Business Intelligence expert) who wrote about often overlooked topic – prototyping in OBIEE. I think it’s a great way to deliver OBIEE solution fast and effectively. There might be several organizational issues – such as users’ good will and availability, knowledge of the data, and scheduling meetings – but in general – I think it’s great way to proceed. And I think such a meeting would look like this:
Stay well!
