Oracle EPM System 11.1.2 has shipped!

My team is already downloading EPM 11.1.2 from http://edelivery.oracle.com and we will have some VMs up and running by this afternoon with the Essbase stack. I have a few initial observations from looking at the contents of eDelivery.

Download packages are currently available for HP-UX Itanium (but not HP-UX PA-RISC 64-bit), IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit), Linux x86, Linux x86-64, Windows 32-bit, Windows x64 64-bit (but not Windows Itanium 64-bit), Solaris on SPARC 64-bit (but not Solaris on x86 (64-bit).

There is also a separate part number labeled "Oracle Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in Release 11.1.2.0.0 for Microsoft Windows" under 32-bit Windows. This part number appears to be a standalone Excel add-in that weighs in a 145 Mb. This is a significant decrease for installing the Excel add-in but still is about 4x the size of the Dodeca footprint. The Smart View standalone download is 79 Mb.

It looks like all of the products shipped together. This is something that Hyperion was working to do before the merger and I don't remember if it actually worked out that way. Additionally, back in the Hyperion days, Windows 32-bit shipped first and the remainder of the OS support shipped later.

I will report more once we start the installs.
