Learning Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE)
I learned how to edit a user in OBIEE without breaking anything (thus no need for a new counter Jake).
At first I thought it would be done through the web application only to find no edit button associated with the user. I had to go through the online repository, update the user, and commit those changes. Not really sure what all that means yet, but it's a start.
I had a crash tutorial on this last week as the person I replaced was off to start his own company. OBIEE is a vast, vast world.
Where does one go to learn OBIEE from the bottom? OTN naturally. The Oracle By Example series is excellent so that's where I started.
First up, Creating a Repository Using the Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool . I've made it through the Physical Mappings and the Business Mappings so far, one more section to go. I can't say I completely understand all the lingo, but I'll catch on sooner or later. I'm more concerned with the basics of support at this point.
Other online locations I've been reading as well:
Rittman Mead Consulting is probably the best out there. Mark's articles in particular are extraordinarily detailed.
John Minkjan over at OBIEE 101 seems to post quite a bit, but I haven't had an opportunity to read any of it yet.
The Oracle Business Intelligence blog might be a good place in the future, though they haven't posted anything there since May of last year.
I'm sure as time goes on my tastes will ebb and flow. I'll update as appropriate.

Hi Chet,
it looks like you got the best sources lined up there.
Should you stumble upon something weird, Venkat's always a good place to have a look as well: http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/
Otherwise most of us are anyways in the OTN forums all the time ;-)
Cheers,
Christian

I have been doing a bunch of DW work lately, too, though not -- ahem -- Oracle brand. ;-)
Because of that, I have been listening a bit more closely to their BI people and I think they are making a lot of sense lately. I'll try to dig up some resources on this, but they are doing a good job of articulating what they mean by BI versus Analytics versus generic Reporting, etc.
In the end that may make less of a difference technically, but it helps in the board room. (Do people actually use 'board rooms' any more?)

I'll check that one out Christian, thanks!
Forums...almost forgot. That's how I learned ApEx. That'll be the first place I go when I have questions.
