OBIEE BUNDLE PATCH 11.1.1.7.140225 AKA 11.1.1.7.5 (?) is available

Please note OBIEE Bundle Patch 11.1.1.7.151020 is available. You might prefer it.

OBIEE 11.1.1.7 fifth/forth general bundle patch, 11.1.1.7.140225 is available in Patch 18057570:

This time my download failed both on Chrome and Firefox. Thanks to a tip from a colleague I used an add-on to Firefox "DownloadThemAll" that did the job (on the second attempt).

The Patch is platform specific and is available for:
  • HP-UX Itanium
  • IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit)
  • Linux x86
  • Linux x86-64
  • MS Windows (32-bit)
  • MS Windows (64-bit)
  • Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)
  • Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-bit)
You can read the readme file here.

Unlike 11.1.1.6 patches, this patchset is downloaded in a single big file+one bonus patch. So just for the record (since you don't need to download them separately):
Patch Abstract
16913445 Oracle Business Intelligence Installer (BIINST) - same as previous patch
18057680 Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher (BIP)
17891247 Enterprise Performance Management Components Installed from BI Installer 11.1.1.7.0 (BIFNDNEPM)
18057654 Oracle Business Intelligence Server (BISERVER)
18057646 Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services (BIPS)

As usual there is a bonus patch: Patch 16569379  (1111770)- Dynamic Monitoring Service patch. It is platform dependent. If you installed it with 11.1.1.7.1 or later, that's enough. It's the same.

Oracle BI EE Suite Bundle Patch 11.1.1.7.140225 contains no new features.
In the ReadMe here there are special instructions for upgrading from 11.1.1.6.X to 11.1.1.7.140225 at  "Section 3.1: For Customers Moving From 11.1.1.6.x to 11.1.1.7.140225". DON'T upgrade before you read and understand it.
