What you'll learn
Governed semantic models ensure trusted analytics through consistent metrics, validated joins, and business-aligned RPD design.
Performance governance ensures SLA reliability through proactive cache tuning, aggregate persistence, and usage-driven optimization.
Analytics security depends on precise RPD controls aligned with regulatory access policies and validated governance practices.
Lifecycle governance ensures stable analytics through controlled Dev→Test→Prod promotion, audit readiness, and business continuity.

Could your enterprise analytics platform survive a compliance audit tomorrow? This Short Course was created to help Business Intelligence professionals accomplish governed OAS platform engineering at scale. By completing this course, you'll design production-grade RPD semantic models, tune query performance against defined SLAs, and enforce security and lifecycle governance — skills you can deploy the next day at work.
By the end of this course, you will be able to: ● Create a three-layer RPD semantic model that maps physical data sources to govern business subject areas and presentation folders, validating joins, hierarchies, and calculations against enterprise standards ● Evaluate and optimize OAS performance by configuring aggregate persistence scripts, query caching parameters, and usage tracking to meet defined dashboard response-time SLAs ● Analyze and implement object-level and row-level security rules, then plan and execute Dev/Test/Prod migrations to ensure a governed analytics content lifecycle This course is unique because it targets Oracle Analytics Server's full technical stack — from RPD metadata layer architecture through change-controlled production promotion. To be successful, you should have a background in OAS/OBIEE administration and enterprise SQL data modeling.
You will design a production-grade three-layer RPD semantic model that maps physical data sources to governed business subject areas and presentation folders, validating joins, hierarchies, and calculations against enterprise standards.
