Summer Fun with OBIEE

I used to get earache on flights, but not any more
… this year I’m booking my kids five rows back

Why don’t mummies go on summer vacation?
They are afraid to relax and unwind!

The sun has got his hat on in Europe this week – time to head indoors, and enjoy the shade, with a cool drink and a computer full of OBIEE blogs!

7. Multi-Instance Subprocess in Oracle Process Cloud Service

Antonis Antoniou says, “The May 2017 Oracle Process Cloud Service release on-boarded a very useful and powerful on-prem feature, that of multi-instance subprocesses. In a nutshell, multi-instance subprocesses allow you to execute a specific set of actions a specified number of times either in sequence or in parallel. What shouldn’t be confused is the difference between repetitions and multi-instances. Multi-instances will create a snapshot of a specific set of actions and data, and run it a specified number of times, with each instance living in it’s own private memory space.”

8. #Oracle #sqldev 17.2.0.188 MAJOR improvement
