This section contains the following topics:
New features in Oracle BI EE 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5) include:
Oracle Business Intelligence Metadata Web Service
The Oracle BI Metadata Web Service provides a Web services interface to call the Oracle BI Server stored procedures. You use these procedures to obtain information about the metadata and to modify the metadata. See Chapter 4, "Using the Oracle Business Intelligence Metadata Web Service".
Navigate to Siebel CRM Action Type
The Navigate to Siebel CRM action type allows the content designer to add an action that navigates to a view (such as an opportunity) in a Siebel CRM application. This action type allows users to navigate from a dashboard that is embedded in a Siebel CRM application to a record in a view in the CRM application. This action type requires you to perform a security integration between Oracle's Siebel CRM and Oracle BI EE. You must also configure the Action Framework before it is available in Oracle BI EE Presentation Services.
See Chapter 5, "Using Actions to Integrate Oracle BI EE with External Systems" and Chapter 7, "Embedding Oracle BI EE In Oracle's Siebel CRM".
If you have upgraded your instance of Oracle Business Intelligence, there are no upgrade consideration specific to the content in this guide that you need to be aware of.
For more information about upgrading to Oracle BI EE 11g, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.

New features in Oracle BI EE 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) include:
Web Services
Oracle Business Intelligence includes the following new Web services:
ConditionalService Service
JobManagementService Service
New methods and structures were added to the existing Web services.
See for more information, see Part I, "Using Oracle BI EE Web Services".
Action Framework
The Action Framework provides functionality for creating, managing, and invoking actions. Actions can be included within analyses, dashboards, agents, KPIs, and Scorecard objectives. Actions provide functionality to navigate to related content and invoke operations, functions, or processes in external systems.
The Action Framework must be configured to enable the Actions functionality in Oracle BI Presentation Services. See Part III, "Configuring the Action Framework" for more information.
Oracle Business Intelligence Server XML API
Oracle Business Intelligence now provides utilities to create a generic, XML-based representation of the Oracle Business Intelligence repository metadata. You can use these utilities for programmatic metadata generation and manipulation, metadata migration, metadata patching, and other functions. See Part V, "Using the Oracle BI Server XML API" for more information.
Upgrade considerations in Oracle BI EE 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) include:
ODBC DSN
A default ODBC DSN for Presentation Services is now created and configured for you during Oracle Business Intelligence installation. Administration Tool clients on the same host as a Presentation Services instance also use the default DSN to connect to the Oracle BI Server.
The connection parameters for the Cluster Controller in the default DSN are now centrally managed by Fusion Middleware Control. Do not update these parameters. If you attempt to manually update the centrally managed parameters, the values will be overwritten the next time the system is started.
See Chapter 10, "Integrating Other Clients with Oracle Business Intelligence" for more information.
