Congratulations on reaching the end of the Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition One Tutorial!
One of the key benefits of Oracle BI Standard Edition One is that you can begin by implementing only those components that are needed to satisfy your immediate requirements, and then evolve the solution architecture as your business requirements grow. If your business success carries you beyond the capabilities of Oracle BI Standard Edition One, the built-in upgrade path enables you to preserve the investment you have made today, and does not hinder your growth tomorrow.
Now that you have worked through the tutorial and have learned to use the basic features of the Oracle BI Standard Edition One components, where do you go from here?
This chapter lists some additional tasks and features you should become familiar with, if you serve as the administrator or provide technical support, and points you to the resources that will help you.
This chapter contains the following topics:
Section 9.1, "Enhancing the Security of Your Oracle BI Environment"
Section 9.7, "Administering Oracle BI Answers and Dashboards"
You may want to enhance security of your Oracle BI environment by creating additional accounts to limit access to administrative privileges, as well as protect sensitive data in your data sources.
For information about configuring Oracle BI Server security, refer to Chapter 15, "Security in Oracle BI" in Oracle Business Intelligence Server Administration Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40078_02/doc/bi.1013/b31770.pdf).
To configure access to Oracle BI Answers requests, and dashboards, refer to Chapter 8, "Managing Oracle BI Presentation Services Security" in Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40078_02/doc/bi.1013/b31766.pdf).
