Client Workstations
Each Delegate workstation / laptop will require the following setup (the trainer will provide the software if required):
Adobe AIR runtime environment
The training material provided by Peak Indicators runs as an Adobe AIR application
Adobe AIR allows HTML/Javascript applications to be run on the client Desktop rather than via a Web-Browser
Adobe Flash v10
Oracle BI EE 11g will not show charts with earlier Flash versions
Adobe PDF Reader v9+
Mozilla or IE

Once the training material has been installed, it can be accessed by running the following application on your desktop:
Start > Peak Indicators > OBIEE 11g Advanced Modelling Bootcamp
NOTE: All the training material is yours to keep, but for personal use only

Lab Session “Cue-Cards”
All the lab sessions are delivered using a special system involving “cue-cards”
Small “always-on-top” desktop application containing step-by-step lab instructions
Avoids the need for switching constantly between Oracle BI and Word/Powerpoint
Avoids the need for printing hand-outs to complete the labs
More experienced Delegates can benefit from more higher-level instructions

Lab Session “Cue-Cards”
Progressing through the lab session is easy:
When you want to move on to the next instruction, simply click on the arrow or enter the slide number to jump to a specific slide
