Two Minute Tech Tips
The OTN will be at Kscope16 looking for willing Volunteers to video their tech tips. I can’t get there this year, so may have to do a selfie video 🙂 But what subjects would I cover? Use of Advanced SQL? Jquery in OBIEE? Apex and OBIEE? Hidden Cascading Prompts? Result…
Deadlines Met and News @ OBIEE
