OBIEE 11.1.1.6.11 is available for OBIEE and Exalytics + bug fixed

The patch 11.1.1.6.11 is available from Oracle support site (support.oracle.com). The first part of the patch is Patch 16747681. 

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, 11.1.1.6.8, 11.1.1.6.9 and  11.1.1.6.10.

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 16747681 readme file. 

Since 11.1.1.7 is available, I suspect we will not see many more 11.1.1.6.X patches.

The Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.6.11 patchset comprises a number of patches:

Patch	Abstract
16747681	Patch 11.1.1.6.11 (1 of 7) Oracle Business Intelligence Installer
16747684	Patch 11.1.1.6.11 (2 of 7) Oracle Real Time Decisions
16747692	Patch 11.1.1.6.11 (3 of 7) Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher
16747699	Patch 11.1.1.6.11 (4 of 7) Oracle Business Intelligence ADF Components
16747703	Patch 11.1.1.6.11 (5 of 7) Enterprise Performance Management Components Installed from BI Installer 11.1.1.6.x PLEASE note, this is platform specific patch (Windows 32, 64, Linux X86, X86-64, IBM AIX Power 64, Solaris SPARC 64, Solaris X86-64, HP-UX Itanium)
16717325	Patch 11.1.1.6.11 (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)
16747708	Patch 11.1.1.6.11 (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 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).

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 11.1.1.6.11.

How to Google any column value from OBIEE

What is an easy thing to do for a OBIEE developer, that brings lots of happiness to end users? Add a link to Google. So users can Google (search) for the value in the cell.

For example, Click on Bluetooth Adaptor in the following analysis:

  and get the relevant Google window

















If you know your way with OBIEE action, all you need to know is the recommended Google URL:  www.google.com/search?q= that is slightly different from what you get by default from Google (for example I searched "hello"): https://www.google.co.il/#site=&source=hp&q=hello&oq=hello&gs_l=hp.3..0l10.1439.2196.0.3419.5.5.0.0.0.0.148.610.1j4.5.0...0.0...1c.1.16.hp.iyvGVf687sY&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.&bvm=bv.47534661,d.bGE&fp=f34ff85f33209633&biw=1600&bih=796
 
If that is not enough, lets show some more details how to achieve it:
Create an action in OBIEE:

 Select Navigate to Web Page:

Paste the URL www.google.com/search?q=:

And Press "Define Parameters":

 Remove the "optional" mark for the parameter and save. I named my saved action "google".


How to use this action in an Analysis?
I created the above analysis and in the Products column properties -> interaction, selected Action Links as primary Interaction for value.

 Now I selected "Select existing Interaction":

And chose my "google" action.

There we can select the "column value" as the parameter value:

Select the relevant column:

and mark the "hidden" (and "fixed") options:

That is all.

And thanks to Nir for reminding me.

OBIEE - Allow me to offer an advice

This is not as good advice as was given to the class of 99 about the sunscreen but I have an advice as well.

Subscribe to 2 sourced of good information from Oracle. You will need access to Oracle support for both.

1. The support Hot topics. You can receive emails from Oracle about updates related to your interests. Its not BI specific at all. You select the products. You can use this link My Oracle Support and select what you want to receive, and how often.
If the link doesn't work, just login to http://support.oracle.com select "More" -> "Settings"  and on the right "Hot Topics E-Mail".

2. The OBIEE support comunity.


I could also advise you to brush your teeth and read RittmanMead blog, but that is common knowledge.
