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.

Tim,
Regarding add-in what about this one in read me :
Spreadsheet Add-in : running Spreadsheet Add-in.exe installs only English files regardless of the language selected...
Workaround : use the EPM System Installer to install the translated files
Great job isn't it?
Tim,
While reading back the following article :
http://timtows-hyperion-blog.blogspot.com/search/label/Essbase
it seems (I may be wrong) that many features that where presented in the article are not shipped with 11.1.2 :
- web service
- SQL*Net et PL SQL support
- ...
Hi Sebastien,
Remember, the things that Oracle puts on roadmap presentations are what they plan to ship and they *always* have a statement in those presentations that the actual features that ship may not be what is in the presentation. If those items are not in this release, hopefully they will be complete in the next release.

Tim,
Can anyone confirm that you will not be able to upgrade or migrate apps from previous versions with this new release. We currently run numerous apps under 9.3.0.1 using Essbase, Planning, BI+, etc. The 11.1.2 docs state that it is new install only and cannot upgrade or migrate previous versions. Does this mean all apps would need to be rebuilt from scratch? I don't see any mention of any available migration utilities.
Thanks,
Mike
I don't know for sure but I have heard there is not an upgrade path from a number of sources.
Tim
