Can OBIEE 11g connect with Oracle 12c DB?

Question

Hi,

We have upgraded OBIEE from 11g to 12c. For testing purpose there is a requirement from client to connect OBIEE 11g RPD Connection pool to Oracle 12c. I am able to connect OBIEE 12c RPD to Oracle 12c DB but not able to connect to oracle 12c DB from OBIEE 11g RPD (OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0).

Can you please let me know if Oracle 12c DB not supported by OBIEE 11g?

Thanks

Anirban

If you look at the certification matrix (https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/bi-11gr1certmatrix-ps6-1928219.xls ) you see that 12.1 is still certified.

So it all depends what your "12c" is for real.

And a old tool doesn't always get certified for newer DB versions (mainly because 11.1.1.7 isn't supported anymore for a long time and newer versions have been released in the meantime with full support to newer DB versions).
