Where to update new database connection details in OBIEE11g

Srikanth Reddy Roddam

Hi Team,

Our customer recently upgraded from Oracle11g to Oracle19c. In how many places do we need to change the database connection settings in OBIEE11G

OBIEE Version :11.1.1.7.150120 (Build 150113.1200 64-bit)

Weblogic: 10.3.5.0

Kindly help on this.

Thanks in advance

Srikanth.

There are MOS documents covering this topic, did you search in there?

The question is: why do they bother to update their database to 19c but keep using an OBIEE 11.1.1.7, an 8 years old version that heavily require Flash to not look like a webpage of 20 years ago?

Time to take updates seriously...

Unfortunately, I have not found the related documents in the MOS documents. It would be great if you could provide the document link.

During the next few months, the customer plans to upgrade from OBIEE11g to OAS. They upgraded the database during that process.

Gianni didn't provide a link because it document"S" - not one. And because 11g is so old that most results will be for OAS or 12c.

tl;dr - here's the core document: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=2177562.1

That's what a 8 years old version gives you: even MOS updated their document to match newer versions.

Still there are various blog posts on the topic. By reading the 12c MOS document you have an idea of what tasks could be involved, with that in mind you can read 2-3 of the blog posts about doing the job on 11g and see if it sounds correct or wrong or if something "huge" is missing from the blog posts.

I'm not even talking about that because it's no longer supported since 3 years by now: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=1664916.1

And even that would only have been for BP 181016 - which is a BP that's 3 years "younger" than what's running there.
