Oracle Directory Services Administration

What you will learn


The Oracle Directory Services: Administration [10.1.4.0.1] course begins with a brief overview of Oracle Identity Management solution. The next few sections teach students how to install, manage, interact with schema objects, configure security settings, and understand server chaining for Oracle Internet Directory.


Following this understanding the students delve into understanding of Oracle Directory Integration Platform and study three use cases in-depth on integrating Oracle Internet Directory with Oracle database table, Sun Java Directory Server and Microsoft Active Directory. The course also covers topics pertaining to understanding of Oracle Internet Directory replication concepts and setting of Oracle Advanced Symmetric Replication and LDAP (One-way, two-way) replication.


In the final section of this course, students dive into Oracle Virtual Directory. They learn the use cases in which Oracle Virtual Directory can be a better solution than data synchronization across heterogeneous directories. Students install and configure Oracle Virtual Directory Server and Oracle Virtual Directory Manager. The course also discusses in detail Database, LDAP, Join View, NT Domain and Local Store adapters. Some more advanced concepts pertaining to adapter routing and mapping plug-ins are also covered.

Oracle Data Integrator: Administration and Development

What you will learn


In this course you will get an overview of the Active Integration Platform Architecture, and a complete-walk through of the steps required to set up a Oracle Data Integrator topology. You will learn how to use Oracle Data Integrator Topology Manager to define these context and logical schema objects according to current best practices. You will learn how to use manage projects in Oracle Data Integrator to develop interfaces and other objects. Oracle Data Integrator has an advanced metadata system which can store many types of information about your data, including constraints and Slowly-Changing Dimension information. You will also learn about the types of metadata, and how to retrieve it automatically from your database.


Next, you will learn how to enrich your Oracle Data Integrator data models with more metadata that cannot be determined automatically and how to build an Active Integration Hub by using some advanced optional features. You will learn how to create an integration process, using Oracle Data Integrator packages.
