iPad and OBIEE sessions

There are several users that connect via iPads to view dashboards.

Here's what they look like when connected and you view them in the session manager from the Administration page.

We haven't made any special accommodation for these devices, but they don't seem to suffer as a result of our unintentional neglect and their performance is no worse than through a browser over wifi.

OBIEE Graph - Trellis View

There is a new view available in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 - Trellis

This allows us to create the spark graphs (mini inline graphs) that allow us to compress thousands of data points into some fairly digestible graphics.

I've only played with this for a few minutes, but must admit I am impressed. 

Before this you used to have to perform several contortions, invoke the GO URL, .... and now it's available out the box.

Good one.

OBIEE Patch 11.1.1.6.2 BP1

This patchset went in a lot easier than the patch to 11.1.1.6.2.

Opatch threw a couple of warnings, mainly to do with having to 'unpatch' the previous patch before applying the current patch.

Here's a list of patch numbers.
