OBIEE BUNDLE PATCH 11.1.1.7.140527 AKA 11.1.1.7.7 (?) is available

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

OBIEE 11.1.1.7 new general bundle patch (number 7?), 11.1.1.7.140527 is available in Patch 18507268 it can be installed on any previous 11.1.1.7 release.

This patch release supports IE 11 !

I had no problems downloading the patch this time. If you have problems, try an add-on to Firefox "DownloadThemAll".

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 patches
18507640	Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher (BIP)
18657616	Enterprise Performance Management Components (BIFNDNEPM)
18507802	Oracle Business Intelligence Server (BISERVER)
18507778	Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services (BIPS)
17300045	Oracle Real-Time Decisions (RTD) - same as previous patches
16997936	Oracle Business Intelligence ADF Components (BIADFCOMPS) - same as previous patches

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 11.1.1.7.140527 contains no new features (but apparently supports IE11 ).

In the ReadMe here there are special instructions for upgrading from 11.1.1.6.X to 11.1.1.7.140527 at  "Section 3.1: For Customers Moving From 11.1.1.6.x to 11.1.1.7.140527". DON'T upgrade before you read and understand it.
