OBIA Upgrade Path

Naeem Akhtar Khan.

Hello All,

We are currently using OBIA 11.1.1.8.1 PB-6 with some customization in ODI.

We are looking to upgrade to latest version of OBIA (which is 11.1.1.10.2 as of now) along OBIEE 12c and Database 12c.

As per Oracle documentation below is the upgrade patch.

• OBIA 11.1.1.8.1 - PB6 --> OBIA 11.1.1.9.2 --> OBIA 11.1.1.10.1 --> OBIA 11.1.1.10.2
• OBIEE 11.1.1.x to OBIEE 12.x is Outplace upgrade.
• Database 11g to 12c upgrade is possible.

Above upgrade patch seems to be very hectic exercises and we may stuck in certain areas.I was just thinking to have fresh install of OBIA 11.1.1.10.2 and follow below procedure which looks technically feasible to me.

1. 1. Migrate BIACM configuration from OBIA 11.1.1.8.1 to OBIA through migration utility (never tested)
2. 2. Migrate Security, RPD, Catalog using migration assistant. (OBIEE way)
3. 3. Migrate custom components of ODI to new version.

Please provide your expert opinion on both the approaches which will be convenient and efficient to follow.

Thanks in advance.
