Who doesn’t love a solid VM workstation? I’m a big fan of these given their scalability and low maintenance (just update that master image and redeploy!). Not to mention the fact that I can use fancy buzzwords like “cloud” and “virtualization”. Jokes aside, VMs are awesome developer tools and here at Red Pill, we recommend using […]
What are you in for when migrating from OBIEE 11g to 12c? Short answer is there is a lot less pain going from 11g to 12c than there was going from OBIEE 10g to 11g. The upgrade to 12c is an out of place upgrade as was the 10g to 11g which means new software […]

One of the projects I have been working on recently had a requirement to enrich some data by bringing back additional information from a legacy system, For various reasons they […]
Last week I presented at the BIWA Summit a “Cage Match” between Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE) Answers and Data Visualization. In full disclosure, these slides were created by Kevin McGinley and I simply was the presenter of these slides. However, I believe that I set the bar high for when Kevin presents these next. 🙂 This […]
I’m super-excited about a presentation I’m giving with Kellyn PotVin-Gormanat RMOUG Training Days next month, called Performance Analytics: Visualizing the Power of the AWR Warehouse. Alright… if you insist… I’ll give a quick plug. Kellyn and the team have been working to build the AWR Warehouse component of Enteprise Manager to store Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) history for the […]
