About this title

From the Author:

Note: this is not a technical deep dive book covering installation and configuration, as the Oracle product documentation already provides this.  It is specific to Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6.4 and earlier (Informatica).  However many customers have indicated this book is still of value to Oracle BI Applications 11g customers.
