OBIEE 11.1.1.6.9 is available and Bug Fixes

Please note, since OBIEE 11.1.6.11 is available (see here) you should consider it instead of 11.1.1.6.9.

Patch 11.1.1.6.9 is available from Oracle support site (support.oracle.com). 
The first part of the patch is Patch 16287811). 

It's the most updated / latest version (actually patch bundle) of OBIEE, installed on top of the basic 11.1.1.6.0 version.


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, 11.1.1.6.6, 11.1.1.6.7 and  11.1.1.6.8 .

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 16287811 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 11.1.1.6.9 patchset comprises a number of patches:
Patch Abstract
16287811 Patch 11.1.1.6.9 (1 of 7) Oracle Business Intelligence Installer
16287778 Patch 11.1.1.6.9 (2 of 7) Oracle Real Time Decisions

16227549 Patch 11.1.1.6.9 (6 of 7) Oracle Business Intelligence
PLEASE note, this is platform specific patch (Windows32,  64, Linux X86-64, IBM AIX Power 64, Solaris SPARC 64, Solaris X86-64, HP-UX Itanium) 
16287884 Patch 11.1.1.6.9 (7 of 7) Oracle Business Intelligence Platform Client Installers and MapViewer

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 13952743JDeveloper 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).
HP Itanium users, please note: HP Itanium platform must first download and apply patch 14016752 from My Oracle Support.

 I'm not aware of any new features in 11.1.1.6.9.
