FAQ – OBE BI Publisher Tutorials

Oracle provides a set of OBE tutorials for BI Publisher (you'll find them here). There is certain degree of overlap and repetition between the different tutorials, but they still offer a useful introduction to BI Publisher. Unfortunately, the design of BI Publisher has been changed since these tutorials were written, so you’ll notice many differences in the screen layout compared to the screen dumps found in the tutorials (for information on these and on other changes see the Oracle Business Intelligence New Features Guide Release 10.1.3.3). If you encounter any errors while trying to follow the instructions, then you might find the answer in this section.
