Summary


This chapter provided information about Oracle BI Publisher 12c's new features and several of its nuances. It briefly compared Oracle BI and BI Publisher, and discussed some commonalities. You walked through an exercise that allowed you to interact with the new Data Model Editor and Layout Editor for a first-hand experience. This chapter highlighted terminology that is used specifically when working with BI Publisher and other concepts that continue to build your knowledge about Java and the WebLogic Application Server. In the exercises, you continued to use the data source from the AdventureWorks database. Finally, you were able to configure the BI Publisher auditing and monitoring functionality. The auditing configuration currently places metadata into a filesystem location for logging and you saw how that process works and is managed.
