ODI other New features in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1

Oracle is moving ahead with the ODI integration to the BI Package, in the words of Oracle,

"With the 11.1.1.7.1 release of the Oracle BI Applications, you can now use Oracle Data Integrator 11g (ODI11g) as the embedded data integration engine within the product. Along with the introduction of several new BI applications and extensions to existing ones, the introduction of ODI11g has allowed Oracle to simplify the configuration process for the BI Applications as well as leveraging ODI's high-performance "ELT" (Extraction, Load and Transform) for data loading."

Apart from this other features include:

Visualization Enhancements: Performance Tiles, 100% Stacked Bar, Freeze Headers, Waterfall  Chart, View Suggestions, Trellis Chart Grid

User Interaction Improvements: Navigation/Action from Totals, Breadcrumbs, Pass context

to ADF, Search with Endeca MDEX, Save as Analysis on Dashboard, Trellis Actions

BI Mobile HD Enhancements: Analytics available on mobile without additional development,  Data dense visualizations enabled by in memory analytics, enhanced right click interactions, better interactivity with native gestures, offline access to content with fine grained security to grant or revoke privileges

4) Go to Change Center and Activate the changes.

5) Move to the control tab in the Summary of Servers.

6) Select the new server and click Start button. (Due to some memory limitation in my machine I am giving a Force Shutdown for my default Server.)

7) Wait till it starts up.

8) You can observe the status of the server and satus of last action. If your process is complete status of last action would show "TASK COMPLETED"

9) The new server can be accessed through the new port assigned (9705)
