Hi Everyone, I am happy to announce that Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.9.0 is released, although I admit that this is almost a week old news now and I am sure some of you may have already known this by now from the BI Publisher homepage in OTN or from other sources. My sincere apologies for the delay here. Thank you Tim for helping me to get back into this blog membership and being patient to allow me put this word out. My activity in the blog has been so less in the past that I...

One of my favourite movies as a child growing up in deepest darkest West Sussex, England where is snowed 300 days a years and I had to walk 3 miles uphill both ways to school :0) A classic kids movie full of spies, slapstick and silly moments; if you have young'uns, it's well worth digging out. Our dinosaurs? Well since our move to another new blogging platform we have lost quite a lot of the examples files we posted in support of blog posts. Suffice to say, I do not have...

Want to thank Srikant Subramaniam from the Oracle Fusion Middleware for Apps team for prompting this post. As much as we here at Oracle would like to think that all data is in a database -- an Oracle Database at that, the fact is that sometimes ... dare I say it ... data is kept in Excel spreadsheets. Srikant's team maintains some information in an Excel spreadsheet. To get this data into a nicely formatted PDF file was a tedious process that took 5 to 6 days. Srikant wanted...

Have you ever faced a situation where your dates are just gone wild? For example, you could swear that the date in your XML data is 2009-03-01 (March 1st, 2009), but it shows up on your report as 28-FEB-2009!I have seen several emails the last few months come to the help mailing list with date formatting related questions, that I thought this might be a worthwhile topic for a blog article.The cause of this, what some call “odd” behavior, is a combination of four things:How...

I have mentioned the 'Iceman' Ike's blog in the past among others, its a veritable goldmine. Im not sure this is a good likeness I can not access his picture on his blog anymore, I dont remember him being so blue?He dropped me a mail recently from the icy north where he hails from, on an article he put together on logging/debugging. Although not a flattering article for BIP its extremely useful - we need to get that metalink note updated, Ike whats the number? A Neat how-to...

I have had a coupe of mails asking where I am? Im here, I took a week away from writing for the blog - needed a rest and some time to think about a bigger, paper based project :0)I put together a viewlet last week for a colleague on how the Oracle Reports migration library can be used - its now residing in the demo catalog here or you can access it directly here.I used a fairly simple Oracle Report but I think it covers the 'can' and 'can't' of the migrator. I'll say right...
