3. ORACLE CRITICAL PATCH UPDATE Q1, 2015 – OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120

Robert Gideon posts, “The OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120 comments on the My Oracle Support Document 1488475.1 state that this will likely be the last bundle patch for the 11.1.1.7 version.”

He later edited his blog to add, “After multiple people found the note in Oracle KB Article 1488475.1, the note was removed from the document. Oracle reserves the right to patch if necessary; however, I have a feeling development is going to be more focused on the 12c version of OBIEE.”

4. How to Set Axis Max Value of AnyChart in APEX Dynamically

Gokhan Atil says, “I just created a one-page APEX application to show performance chart of our main production server based on Active Session History data. We publish it on a big monitor so we can see the performance chart during the day. It’s not a big deal but it’s really useful.”

8. Oracle SQL Developer Meets SQL*Plus?
