OAS 2024 Recomended Patches

Oracle Analytics Server 2024 (OAS 2024), sometimes name OAS 7.6 is available since March. 

Oracle published Critical Patch Update (CPU) Advisor For Oracle Analytics Server and Oracle Business Intelligence - Updated for April 2024 (Doc ID 2832967.2).

Sorry, tried to create a link, it didn't work.

This list is expected to be updated regularly.

Right now there 2 major parts there: OAS Weblogic & OAS FMw Infrastructure. The first OAS 2024 bundle patch is not available yet.

Under Weblogic we see 

  • Database recommendation for July 2021 PSU or later and Native Network Encryption (NNE) recommendation for the DB.
  • Upgrade Java SE (JDK/JRE) (Patch 18143322 & Note 3012587.1, About Updating the JDK Location After Installing Oracle Analytics Server).
  • Patch 36485713 for Weblogic.

 


Under  FMw Infrastructure we see the following list of patches:

  •  Patch 36402397
  • Patch 36348444+Patch 34809489  or  Patch 36074941+Patch 34809489
  • Patch 36349529  or  Patch 35751917
  • Patch 34542329
  • Patch 36316422  or  Patch 32784652



Few extra remarks:

In OAS 2024 there is a new option of Workbook export to Excel (on Tables and Pivots). To make it work you need to follow Installation Guide and install the NodeJS. 

In OAS 2024 you can use the classic data modeler client for RPD or use the new Semantic Model web interface with similar functionality. If the Semantic Model is missing from the Menu after upgrade from previous versions, you have to grant missing permissions that might have been replaced by the import.  See "After Importing A Snapshot into Oracle Analytics Server (OAS), The Semantic Modeler Feature Is No Longer Available (Doc ID 3011914.1)": Use Grant Permission Assignment and grant 'semanticmodeler.author' permission to your administrator role.


Thank You Itsik Hadar for finding the last 2 bullets.
