OBIEE 11.1.1.6 Installs in record time
For the last three years I have been installing OBIEE 11g. It has been a painful and disappointing process – unitl now. I just downloaded, installed RCU and full Enterprise edition in less than ONE HOUR. Amazing! Thank you Oracle. It took you a while but you now seem…
OBIEE 11G version 11.1.1.6 Release
The tweeters did a good job of sending out the word that version 6 of version 1 is now available for download from edelivery.oracle.com. I have downloaded and installed the RCU and guess what?, IT WORKED! Yippee. It’s definitely time to start recommending version 11g to your clients. I will…

Reconfiguring Oracle EM
When running lots of VirtualBox VM’s I often find that during some reconfig the database Enterprise Manager gets in a confused state. This is usually due to network changes, and most people end up re-installing Oracle. One solution is to keep snapshots of a working Database set-up but I find…
Steve Jobs
I never got into the Apple Hype, prefering my PC’s for the last 15-20 years. That changed last year when I got a MacBok Pro (I got it in lieu of £2,000 I was owed). I didn’t really want it but had to find some way of getting my money…
