OBIEE BUNDLE PATCH 11.1.1.7.141014 AKA 11.1.1.7.9 (?) 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 9?), 11.1.1.7.141014 is available in Patch 19261194 it can be installed on any previous 11.1.1.7 release.

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
19190053	Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher (BIP)
18657616	Enterprise Performance Management Components (BIFNDNEPM) - same as previous
19190025	Oracle Business Intelligence Server (BISERVER)
19190010	Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services (BIPS)

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.

According to "Oracle EPM BI proactive support" here additional patch Patch 18277370 (MERGE REQUEST ON TOP OF 11.1.1.7.0 FOR BUGS 18071063 18176711) is required for IE11 users.

In the ReadMe here there are special instructions for upgrading from 11.1.1.6.X to 11.1.1.7.141014 at  "Section 3.1: For Customers Moving From 11.1.1.6.x to 11.1.1.7.141014". DON'T upgrade before you read and understand it.
