In 10g half your installation job is done for you; unix scripts and windows services all delivered out of the box, and pretty much working too! In 11g you have to do the hard work yourself :(. Firstly, you may be wondering why Oracle did not provide windows services already…

They’re doing it again
Another year, and another set of interviews, for another project, but still the same poor candidates. If you want a job on an OBIEE project, as an OBIEE developer then you should be able to answer simple questions about the BI Server, The repository and using Answers. AM I asking…
