OBIEE 11.1.1.7 is Available

I just noticed OBIEE 11.1.1.7 is available to download, listed right below 11.1.1.6 version.
Hopefully lot of issue would be addressed.
http://obiee911.blogspot.com/2013/04/obiee-11117-available.html
I searched for a list of new features in the documentation and pasted to the link below, in case anyone likes to take a quick look:
http://obiee911.blogspot.com/2013/04/new-features-for-oracle-bi-ee-11g.html

In my opinion, if you have an outstanding bug in production, and point release has a fix for it, you should always go for the upgrade.
However if thats not the case, then you should time the upgrade right, and line up budgets to do that also. Oracle has been coming with point releasing almost once every month, so it might be a good idea to wait, till you see benefits from a release.
Waiting on implementing just because of possibility of bugs in new release is not a good way to go about it, as this possibility will always remain no matter what the release is. That decision can be taken after basic testing of the upgrade in a seperate sandbox environment (not development). If the upgrade really impacts your implementation, then either work with Oracle to get a fix first, or pospone the upgrade till a fix is available.
Hope this helps.

  • Not able to modify Guage( dials) in OBIEE 11G

  • "execute direct database request" option is not availavle in my OBIEE 11g

    Hi All Experts,
    In my OBIEE-11g there is no option available of "execute direct database request" in subject area pane.Please give the solution.
    Thanks In Advance

    By default, this privilege is only assigned to BI Administrator Role. I'm sure you are not under BI Administrator Role and that's the reason you can't find DDR option. Ask, you Administrator to provide your application role access to 'Execute Direct Database Analysis' & 'Edit Direct Database Analysis' under Manage Privileges > Answers.
    Try using DDR very carefully...You shud understand its pros and cons

  • 1 repository serving 2 OBIEE servers - can this be done?

    Hi Gurus.
    I have a question that I though might be better answered in this forum.
    Is it possible for us to configure 1 repository and have 2 OBIEE / Web Logic servers running from it?
    We are thinking of having one OBIEE server for external and the other for internal layers.
    Can this be done? With each running off / out of the same repository?
    I did find this http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-scaleout-clustering-and-high-availability/
    Any comments?

  • Looking for OBIEE training material

    Hi Friends, I installed OBIEE and it is working perfectly. Currently I am reading the developer material : BI Publisher Administrator's and Developer's Guide.
    is there any better training material other than this.
    Please let me know.
    Regards
    Sk

    I'm sure shortly you will be getting quite a few responses from those who participate in this forum and belong to some organization that teach all aspects of OBIEE. There are many resources available. Do a search on "training" on this forum to see what I mean. The question is, of course, how much are you willing to pay? ;)

  • The best LINUX for OBIEE, ODI, EPM (Hyperion)

    Hi Experts,
    I am currently working on OBIEE and I would like to learn about ODI and EPM(Hyperion). Along with this i would like to work on Linux OS. Which flavor of Linux would be perfect for the above?? I am beginner of Linux OS.
    Thanks,
    -N-

    @obiee N co. 10 GB available disk space is a minimum (3.5 GB for the Oracle software + 1.5 GB for the database + 3 GB for OEL5 + 2 GB swap)
    @rnm, It's just a question of training.
    As beginner when I compare an OBIEE installation between Windows and Linux, I still like the simplicity fo Windows.
    I'm not in the step, the more I use it, the more I like it.
    I face some issues with OBIEE that I find on Linux but not on Windows. Specifically, If you take OC4J.
    For instance with BIP, in the last version, just start a big work and the OC4J process take all the CPU. Sure, I miss a configuration...
    Good weekend
    I must go.

  • Installing obiee

    Hi All,
    I was in the process of running rcu to create a repository for OBIEE and ODI. When I got to the components page I noticed the OBIee and ODI components were not available for selection.
    I was warned that the oracle character set is not AL32UTF8. Could this be the reason for the restricted view. Should I convert to this character set to see the additional components.
    Thanks.
    Looking forward to your response.
    Thanks
    Helen

    Hi,
    The oracle character set has nothing to do with the visibility of the components for installation. Probably you are mistaken that the required repositories for both OBIEE and ODI are run by the same RCU.
    Follow these links for detailed step by step process to install OBIEE and ODI.

  • How to set the DVD Folder Path?

    Hello, had a quick question regarding the folder path
    variable when accessing DVD video files. When authoring, Director
    seems to automatically add a hardcoded file Name to the cast member
    properties, as well as a folder path to the DVD member properties.
    So I am wondering how to handle this - obviously during
    authoring the director DIR/projector is on the hard drive while the
    video_ts is on the DVD disc. When deployed, everything will be on
    the DVD of course.
    During my first test, the projector was authored with the DIR
    on the hard drive while the DVD was in the D: drive. When I swapped
    the DVD to my other optical drive ( E: ) and restarted the
    projector, it complained it could not find the video_ts folder. And
    on a Mac it looked for a /Volumes/ path which I could not even
    manually point the projector to.
    So should I copy the video_TS to the hard drive so the
    relative path between the projector and video_TS folder always
    stays the same? Or does Director ignore the filepath at runtime and
    always search the DVD drives on the host machine for a video_ts
    folder,regardless of where it was during authoring? The
    documetnation is a bit unclear on that part..and of course my goal
    is that the projector find the video_ts folder on the DVD disc,
    regardless of what drive letter/volume name it is on.
    BTW, this approach -

  • Multiple managed servers, Multiple machines and Multiple clusters

    Hi,
    I have couple of applications to be deployed in high availabliity. I
    have been a Tomcat/Apache guy so far. Yesterday night I read the whole admin doc
    and tried some installations on the boxes. But have some confusion here.
    Since our application is getting commercialised and I like to have 12 managed
    serves on each of the three big linux servers and one windows machine as admin
    server port 9002. 18 for each application in clustered environment. cluster of
    18 for each application.
    FIRST CONFUSION is
    I want to use only one domain name. So I install weblogic81
    on win box and call it dls and then I find out that I need to install weblogic81
    as good as the one on win box on linux servers, not surpised, but during the installation
    when it asked me for a domain name I was confused. No option to join the existing
    domain that I created on my winbox.
    Why??? So I type dls again.
    Is there a way not to do all this as it may be creatign another domain and just
    start nodemanager and not install domain at all ?
    SECOND CONFUSION is
    When I was installing weblogic on win machine as admin server. I was given
    options of adding managed servers and clusters amd machines. So do we need to
    have all the managed servers already running before I add them here or I can do
    it later.
    Thanks n Advance.

  • AIA should be part of SOA domain OR OER Domain

    Hi,
    We are setting up a Clustered environment with 2 Nodes with WebLogic 11g, Oracle SOA suite 11g and AIA for the Customer.
    In this, I have a question. We are creating two domains soa_domain (with Managed Server soa_server1 in the Node 1 and soa_server2 in the 2nd Node) for SOA components and oer_domain for OER related stuff.
    My question is, where AIA is to be part of? Should it be part of soa_domain OR oer_domain?
    Do we need to create seperate Managed Servers for AIA OR can we use same Managed Servers for AIA as SOA components (soa_server1 on Node1 and soa_server2 on Node2)?
    Thanks and regards,
