Many of you will have noticed, maybe even been confused by another product that has hit the Oracle streets namely 'Business Intelligence Publisher', BI Publisher for short and now affectionately know as 'BIP' by the cognoscenti.
Its not a new product, its XML Publisher with a new identity for its place in the BIEE suite of products, where it now generates the 'high fidelity' output from the BI Suite (more on this in a later posting.) Its also the new name for the recently released 10.1.3.2 Enterprise release, BIP Enterprise, again, more on that later too.
For now it remains as 'XML Publisher' under E Business Suite PeopleSoft Enterprise and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and World products. Have no fear they may have different names but under the covers its the same core engine at work.
Update on versions ...
Yeah, things are getting complex on our numbering system so here's the low down. Im mapping ERP releases to the original XMLP release numbers ...
Applications
EBS 11.5.10 - baseline release comes with R4.5
EBS 11.5.10 RUP2 - comes with R5.0
Of course for EBS 11i you can apply the latest XMLP release from metalink 5.6.2. The 5.6.3 release is coming soon.
EBS R12 - baseline release comes with release 5.6.3
PeopleTools 8.48 - comes with release 5.6
JD Edwards - comes with 5.6
BI EE & Standalone
BIEE Release 10.1.3.2 - contains BI Publisher 5.6.3
BI Publisher Enterprise 10.1.3.2 - based on 5.6.3 release.
