Hello @KeithDunlop

The DataDirect drivers are a collection of JDBC drivers of the most popular DB engines. It will have the JDBC for Oracle Databases for example, but also for other brands.

They should not be upgraded blindly without checking what JDBC versions are supported with the RDBMS in the backend, or in the case of OBIA, with other products that use JDBC drivers. For example DAC as part of OBIA 7.9.6.4 requires JDK 1.6, thus the JDBC drivers to connect to sources and target databases should be the ones that work with that JDK 1.6 version only.

Hope it helps,

Nelson

Ia that a pure, stand-alone OBIEE?

Back ground ..

Random values are displayed in Columns on reports -   If I query the physical table this is not the case. 

Issue happen with in OBIEE report and Issue SQL ( Logic sql generated) -- Does not happen when run physical sql via SQL Developer

Also when logic SQL from flagged report .. when ran via Administration -> issue SQL

Sparsely-populated dimensions

Any ideas

Update the driver on a test system first and check what's the impact
