OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7 is available - in English

Please note, since OBIEE 11.1.6.11 is available (see here) you should consider it instead of 11.1.1.6.7.


Patch 11.1.1.6.7 is available from Oracle support site (support.oracle.com). 

The first part of the patch is Patch 15959887). 

It can be installed on OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0, 11.1.1.6.1, 11.1.1.6.2, 11.1.1.6.2 BP1, 11.1.1.6.4,11.1.1.6.5 and  11.1.1.6.6 .

As usual, the real patch has 7+1 parts. The installation steps for the first 7 are similar. I recommend reading the first readme – patch 15959887 readme file. To be totally correct it’s not the first 7, but first 6 since patch number 7 contains only client tools (BI Administration, MapViewer…) and to the best of my knowledge are not relevant to non-Windows installations.

The Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.6.7 patchset comprises a number of patches:

Additionally there is the patch number 8, it is named JDeveloper Patch, but it is for OBIEE as well. It's the same patch you used if you installed 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 or later. So if you already installed it, I see no reason to do it again.

Patch 13952743 - JDeveloper patch -   - RUP3 MLR4.3  CUMULATIVE: BASED ON JDEVADF_11.1.1.6.2_GENERIC_120329.1447.6268.1 (last release 11.1.1.6.2)

The installation steps are same as 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 as we described here.

Please note, that readme tell you to do the following backups:

• The ORACLE_HOME\bifoundation\server directory
  
• The ORACLE_INSTANCE\bifoundation\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1\repository
  
• The ORACLE_BI_HOME\bifoundation\jee\mapviewer.ear\web.war\WEB_INF\conf\mapViewerConfig.xml, if you have modified it. This last bullet is relevant to those who configured the OBIEE Maps (described, in Hebrew here).

I'm not aware of any new features in 11.1.1.6.7. Only bug fixes.

Here is what Oracle says:

Bundle patches are collection of controlled, well tested critical bug fixes for a specific product which may include security contents and occasionally minor enhancements. These are cumulative in nature meaning the latest bundle patch in a particular series would include the contents of the previous bundle patches released. A suite bundle patch is an aggregation of multiple product bundle patches that are part of a product suite.

For OBIEE on 11.1.1.6.0, we plan to run a monthly bundle patch cadence.

11.1.1.6.7 bundle patch is now available for download from My Oracle Support. 11.1.1.6.7 bundle patch includes 63 bug fixes.
11.1.1.6.7 bundle patch is cumulative, so it includes everything in 11.1.1.6.1, 11.1.1.6.2, 11.1.1.6.2BP1, 11.1.1.6.4, 11.1.1.6.5 and 11.1.1.6.6.
