OBIEE 11G - In-Place Upgrade - Moving from 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6

Obi Edition

In Progress

About

Patching involves copying a small collection of files over an existing installation. A patch is normally associated with a particular version of an Oracle product and involves updating from one minor version of the product to a newer minor version of the same product (for example, from version 11.1.1.3.0 to version 11.1.1.5.0).

New Features

New Features in Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6)

Installation

  • The separate, standalone installer for the Oracle Business Intelligence client tools (previously included only Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool and Job Manager), now also installs Oracle Business Intelligence Catalog Manager (online mode). The client installer is supported on computers running 32- and 64-bit Windows operating systems only.
  • The ability to install BI Composer by extending an Oracle WebLogic Server domain to include BI Composer run-time implementation shared libraries, and configuring Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file.

Pre-Patching Tasks

Backup and services

  • Backup all (Middleware Home, Domain Home and Oracle Instances)
  • Stops all server and process (WebLogic Servers, Node Manager, OPMN)
net stop "beasvc bifoundation_domain_bi_server1" -- weblogic bi server
net stop "beasvc bifoundation_domain_AdminServer" -- weblogic Admin server
net stop "OracleProcessManager_instance1" -- OPMN
net stop "Oracle WebLogic NodeManager (E_MiddelwareHome_wlserver_10.3)" -- Node Manager

Verify that the process (beasvc.exe, …) are not running.

Patch Oracle WebLogic Server

Oracle WebLogic Server must be to the latest version (10.3.5). If Oracle WebLogic Server is already installed on your system, make sure you have patched Oracle WebLogic Server to either version 10.3.6 or 10.3.5 (both are supported in Release 11.1.1.6.0)

Check your Weblogic Version and if the version is not 10.3.6 or 10.3.5, you have to patch the weblogic server.

Patching

Installer

Download the product installer. The product installers for Oracle Business Intelligence can be used to patch an existing Oracle Fusion Middleware installation.

These installers also offer a configuration option. When using them to apply a patch set, you must select the option to install the software only. Do not select the option to configure the software. The domain you are patching is already configured and does not require any reconfiguration.
