Oracle BI Tech Demos youtube channel
A quick post to advertise Oracle's BI Tech Demos youtube channel !
Very good content and good information, even if a lot isn't available to the public and/or only on NDA basis. Extremely valuable peek into the future though so you can see what's upcoming.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.5
While I was off, Oracle released OBIEE 11.1.1.6.5 which is another bugfixing patch set which doesn't bring in new functionality but irons out quite a few quirks.
Here you can find the main MOS article detailling the patches making up this patch set as all bugs fixed in it.

Once more it's a 7-pack patch and here are the patch numbers and direct links:

WLS Startup Warnings after OBIEE 11.1.1.6 upgrade
After an OBIEE 11.1.1.6 in-place upgrade I accidentally found weird warnings in the startup log of WebLogic since the upgrade. "By accident" since the server started nicely and was available without loss of functionality or performance, so I never checked in detail what happens during startup.
The WLSStart.log contained the following nice list:
{May 1, 2012 9:36:03 AM CEST} {Warning} {oracle.dms.collector} {BEA-000000} {Metric table "discussion:Response" has no key column. It will not be collected.}
OBIEE Agent Chaining does not update Scheduler tables
Just something of note. I stumble upon this from time to time and really don't appreciate it:
Agents being called by other Agents (i.e. agent chaining) will NOT write any execution information into S_NQ_JOB or S_NQ_INSTANCE.
So no LAST_RUNTIME_TS in S_NQ_JOB nor new line in S_NQ_INSTANCE.
Really not useful when using these tables as sources in the RPD to check and schedule execution of Agents! E.g. when did which agent run last with which result and should I run it again?
