Patching OBIEE 11g

Download the required patch from oracle support. Lets say in this case I have downloaded the Patch 13067844 for the write back error.

you will find the OPatch utility in $ORACLE_BIHOME directory e.g D:\OBIEE11g\Oracle_BI1\OPatch

Note that this OPatch utility is in the oracle BI home and not the oracle database home.

before you apply the patch, stop all OBIEE services.

unzip the patch to its directroy. lets say D:\InstallFiles\13067844

cd to the unzipped patch directory and set the ORACLE_BIHOME and verify the OPatch utility.

Restart the OBIEE services.

If you need to deInstall the patch, the command is

opatch rollback –id <patchid>

e.g.

opatch rollback -id 13067844

For detailed instructions especially related to pre-requisites for individual patches , please refer to the README.txt file for the respective patch file.
