| Oracle Commerce 11 Guided Search Technical Implementation Boot Camp
The Oracle Commerce 11 Guided Search (Endeca) Technical Implementation Boot Camps are designed to provide implementation developers with the knowledge required to work with an Oracle Commerce Guided Search or Oracle Commerce Experience Manager project. We bring together solution experts to lead Boot Camps and Application Business Workshops where they can share their global expertise and experience. What will we cover This 5-day Implementation Bootcamp features a combination of lectures and hands-on labs to allow the attendee to apply the knowledge gained from the current module’s topic, and to further develop their skills. As they work through the course, they will work to build an end-user application that will give a full end-to-end understanding of implementing an Oracle Commerce Guided Search and Oracle Commerce Experience Manager application. Please note that this course requires application development experience. Learning Objectives - Understand the core features of Oracle Commerce Guided Search and be able to convey its value proposition.
- Become familiar with the Oracle Commerce Guided Search architecture and all of its components, as well as the most common architecture designs and integrations
- Install and configure an Oracle Commerce Guided Search development environment
- Determine the best record design for your Oracle Commerce Guided Search Application, and migrate client data into an Oracle Commerce Guided Search record
- Build and create Oracle Commerce Guided Search pipelines using adapters, caches, assemblers and property mappers to support application requirements
- Design and implement various search features such as “Did-you-mean”, “auto-correction”, “thesaurus”, “stop words”, “stemming” and “automatic phrasing” for your Oracle Commerce Guided Search Application
- Design and Implement Oracle Commerce Experience Manager, templates and cartridges to create the user interface for Oracle Commerce applications
- Integrate the Oracle Commerce Guided Search framework into existing applications
- Work with unstructured data utilizing the Content Acquisition System
- Measure performance and ensure Oracle Commerce Guided Search meets scalability requirements

Day 1: Introduction and Architecture | | | Overview and Introductions
This module will introduce attendees to Oracle Commerce (Endeca) Guided Search and Experience Manager and how it is valuable to clients in the market. |
| | |
| Architectural Overview
During this module attendees will learn the about the Oracle Commerce Guided Search architecture and all of its components. Common architecture designs as well as external system integrations will be discussed to help illustrate how it can be incorporated into existing systems. |
| | | Installation
This module focuses on providing a working set of configurations that the course will utilize over the next 5 days. All common software required in Oracle Commerce Guided Search will be installed and the Deployment Template will be used to give a default set of configurations for the application. |
| | |
| Application Configuration
This module will detail how to adjust and work with the application configurations at a detailed level to help provide information on how to customize an Oracle Commerce Guided Search application to meet the requirements of a project. This will focus on gaining knowledge of the configurations and the file structure behind the application. |
|
Tuesday, June 23
Day 2: Concepts & Record Design | | | Oracle Commerce Guided Search Data
This module explains how Oracle Commerce Guided Search stores and shares data in the form of properties and dimensions and will provide exercises on the types of each and when they should be used. |
| | |
| Record Design 1
During this module attendees will learn the core concepts of record design within Oracle Commerce Guided Search. Differences between Oracle Commerce Guided Search and database design will be discussed to illustrate the de-normalized nature of record design within Oracle Commerce Guided Search. Attendees will work to design how records will be stored in the application. |
| | | Record Design 2
The goal of this module is to add several data sources to the original design, including the relationships between data sources to develop an understanding of how data from different sources can be joined and worked with within a single index. The lab session will focus on developing a new design. |
| | |
| Introduction to Developer Studio
This module will be the initial introduction to Developer Studio and how it relates to the XML configurations of the application. It will explain from a high level how to use the tool. This module will also explain how to work with dimensions, properties and search interfaces and all their potential configurations. Based on the previous record design conversations, attendees will add the properties and dimensions designed through Developer Studio to their application. Also a simplistic search interface will be added with several fields. |
|
Wednesday, June 24
Day 3: Pipeline Creation and Data Manipulation | | | Pipeline Development
During this module, the attendees will learn about the pipeline diagram and how data flows through the application during the Forge process to produce a singular index. This first pipeline development module will focus on using Adapters, Caches , Assemblers and finally the Property Mapper to get the first complete pipeline established. The goal of the session will be implement their record design and test it within the Oracle Commerce Guided Search reference application. |
| | |
| Manipulating Data
This module introduces the concept of manipulators within the Oracle Commerce Guided Search application pipeline. It will highlight all types of manipulators and the advantages and disadvantages of each. A sample XML and sample Java manipulator will be created during the lab to help clean the incoming data in the application being developed. |
| | | Common UI Elements and User Experience
This module will go over all the common UI elements in a standard Oracle Commerce Guided Search application, how it differs from the standard web application and some well known examples of the Oracle Commerce Guided Search application in action. |
| | |
|
Thursday, June 25
Day 4: Application Development | | | Working with Search Features
This module will introduce all the various search features within Oracle Commerce Guided Search including Did-you-mean, Auto-correction, Thesaurus, Stop Words, Stemming and Automatic Phrasing. The attendees will learn how to configure and work with these items to help provide valuable search functionality within the application. |
| | |
| Oracle Commerce Experience Manager Concepts
This module will give a high level understanding of Oracle Commerce Experience Manager, its value to the business user and how the developer will interact and work with it. |
| | | Managing Pages in Oracle Commerce Experience Manager
Attendees will learn how to create a number of pages within workbench, working with the editors provided by the cartridges. This includes the use of dynamic slots to provide flexible elements on any page. Also they will learn how to work with and debug with the preview application. |
| | |
| Working with the Assembler API
This module will focus on extending the knowledge from the previous day of working with the presentation API to also working with the Assembler API. It will focus on common approaches to working with the templates returned and how to render out components provided by Experience Manager. |
|
Friday, June 26
Day 5: Advanced Concepts | | | Working with the Assembler API (Continued)
This module will focus on extending the knowledge from the previous day of working with the presentation API to also working with
4
the Assembler API. It will focus on common approaches to working with the templates returned and how to render out components provided by Experience Manager. |
| | |
| CAS
CAS, or the Content Acquisition System, gives the ability to pull in from a number of other sources such as web crawls, file crawls and many CMSs. It also comes with the ability to extend its functionality using CADK. This module focuses on adding CAS into the application for additional data sources. |
| | | Performance Testing
This module focuses on performance testing the Oracle Commerce Guided Search MDEX engine. This will highlight common approaches and best practices when trying to optimize the MDEX engine and ensure it works well under load. The lab will focus on setting up a basic performance test for the application to illustrate how it can be done and discuss more advanced techniques. |
| | |
