Unannounced Oracle OBIEE 11.1.1.7.10?

There is documentation on the Oracle website for version 11.1.1.7.10 that does not appear to have been announced yet.    

Some interesting new features are mentioned in the documentation:

  • A new style named Skyros
  • Ability to delay the execution of dashboard pages.  This will force users to select values from a prompt before executing the reports on the dashboard.
  • Ability to set and send multiple values in a dashboard prompt for request variables when the request variable is a string or numeric data type.
     
  •  A new view type named treemap. Treemap is a space-constrained, two-dimensional visualization for displaying hierarchical structures with multiple levels. The treemap is limited by a predefined, rectangular area and displays two levels of data. The size of each tile (or rectangle) is based on a measure, and the color of the tile is based on the second measure.
  • Ability to add global variables. A global variable is a column created by combining a specific data type with a value.
      
  • Using options on the Administration page, you can set the logging levels for Oracle BI Presentation Services.
