OBIEE BUNDLE PATCH 11.1.1.7.131017 AKA 11.1.1.7.2 or 11.1.1.7.3 is available

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


OBIEE 11.1.1.7 second general bundle patch, 11.1.1.7.131017 is available in Patch 17530796:
The new naming convention is to use date based numbering. Why is patch 131017 released on  13-10-25? Don't ask me,I'm just a writer in an OBI blog.

The Patch is platform specific and is available for:

• HP-UX Itanium
• IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit)
• Linux x64
• Linux x64-64
• 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

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

New Features

• Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 10
• Solution for Chrome 30 problem
• Support for Improved Exporting Functionality into Microsoft Excel
• Support for Oracle BI Mobile App Designer 
• Oracle BI EE Suite Bundle Patch 11.1.1.7.131017 integrates support for Oracle BI Mobile App Designer into Oracle BI Presentation Services. The Home page displays a new Create Mobile App option and a link to the Mobile Apps Library; the New menu now also includes a Mobile App option. Note that to use these new options, you must also install the Oracle BI Mobile App Designer. Oracle BI Mobile App Designer is available in a separate patch (17220944) available from My Oracle Support. Apply the Mobile App Designer patch after installing Oracle BI EE Suite Bundle Patch 11.1.1.7.131017. Note that if you have previously installed Oracle BI Mobile App Designer on the BI system, then you do not have to re-apply Mobile App Designer patch (17220944). However, you will have to make a configuration change to re-enable the new Mobile App options.See the Oracle BI Mobile App Designer Installation Notes for more information: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/bi-foundation/installation-guide-1989222.pdf

In the ReadMe here there are special instructions for upgrading from 11.1.1.6.X to 11.1.1.7.131017 at  "Section 3.1: For Customers Moving From 11.1.1.6.x to 11.1.1.7.131017". DON'T upgrade before you read and understand it.
Please read Section 4: Installation Instructions, before any patch installation.

Ignore the readme.txt files in the Oracle BI EE Suite Bundle Patch component patches. The readme.html file in patch 17530796 contains all the installation instructions and list of bugs fixed.

P.S.

In case you wonder why I describe it as 11.1.1.7.2 or 11.1.1.7.3... This is the second general Bundle Patch for 11.1.1.7. But a month ago there was a 11.1.1.7.2 bundle for FA customers only. So I'm not sure if that counts.
