Oracle Business Intelligence Foundation Suite 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 is now generally available, or "GA", as is more commonly known.
From the "Product" dropdown, select "Oracle BI Suite EE". You can start typing and the dropdown filters only the hits that match your typed keywords. Click "Oracle BI Suite EE" to select it.
From the "Release" dropdown, select the BP1 option. I.e., check the box next to the "Oracle BI EE 11.1.1.6.2BP1" result.
You could simply click "Search", or if you are interested in only a specific platform, then select that platform from the "Platform" dropdown. I have selected "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)"
This will yield a search result set comprising seven rows (not the movie "Seven"). The first file, i.e. the file numbered (1 of 7) is the installer for the patch. This is also identified by its Patch Name, "14223977".
This is a significant update to the Oracle Business Intelligence product suite as it contains two major new pieces of functionality. The first is a set of Trellis visualization capabilities that allow users to quickly create and analyze information using data-dense, word-sized, high-quality visualizations. The second is a completely overhauled and new mobile app for the suite, called "Oracle Business Intelligence Mobile" for the Apple iPad tablet device.
Apart from that, there are also updates to the geo-spatial visualization capabilities, that now support line geometry types.
The software bits can be downloaded from the Oracle Support site at http://support.oracle.com/
How To Download The Patch:
You can either search by the Patch number, or, do a search by product, platform, and release.
After logging in to the Oracle Support site, click the "Patches & Updates" tab, and you should see the "Patch Search" section. If not, then add it to your page by clicking the "Customize" button and dragging "Patch Search" to your page.
