Can I use Business Objects XI R2 with an Oracle 12c datasource?

We are upgrading from 11g to 12c and I was curious if Business Objects XI R2 will be compatible and if anyone has had any experience/recommendations in doing so.
I don't know if BusinessObjects XI R2 is compatible with Oracle 12c.
Even though, I'd like to share a personal experience. Some days ago we upgraded our database from Oracle 11gR2 to Orale 12c and BusinessObjects works correctly.
Environment :
BusinessObjects 4.1 SP6
Windows 2008 R2
Here are the steps I followed :
Dump CMS schema in Oracle (in my case, the CMS schema was called "BOCMS")
expdp SYSTEM/<password>#<database> directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR parallel=8 dumpfile=BOCMS.dmp logfile=BOCMS.log SCHEMAS=BOCMS exclude=INDEX_STATISTICS exclude=TABLE_STATISTICS
Upgrade Oracle from 11gR2 to 12c
Create (or migrate) your database
Install 12c Oracle Clients (32b and 64b)
Test connection to your database (I used sqlplus command)
Import the dump created in step 1
impdp SYSTEM/<password>#<database> directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=BOCMS.dmp table_exists_action=replace logfile=BOCMS.log
Be sure your CMS schema has the same password you set on BusinessObjects when using it with Oracle 11gR2.
I hope this will be helpful.

Oracle 11g and 12c together

I'm trying to use oracle 11g and 12c tools on the same machine.
Scenario:
1 - I'm developing a winforms app using Oracle.DataAccess from 11g
2 - I'm developing a web API with Entity Framework using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess from 12c
3 - I'm support a third party app that depends on oracle client 11g
Situation:
I manage to run and deploy the winforms app without oracle client installation, after that I started to develop the web API, so I installed ODT with ODAC121024 (including oracle client from 12c), and both work fine.
Then I had to support the third party app that needs oracle client from 11g, but I couldn't run the app because I did not had oracle client 11g, so I deinstall every thing on mine machine and installed the full oracle 11g.
Now the winforms app and the third party add works fine, but I couldn't make the web API to work.
I installed the nuget packages oracle.manageddataaccess and oracle.manageddataaccess.entityframework. But I'm getting the follow error on one of the projects of my solution (with 5 projects):
Error 175: The ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client' is either not registered in the machine or application config file, or could not be loaded. See the inner exception for details.
This error occur on the .edmx file of my data model project.
I can't create another .edmx file as well because the oracle data provider does not show up on Visual Studio (2013).
For this to work I have to install ODT with ODAC121024, but I this will mess up the third party app access.
The question is: how to use ODAC 12c without installing the client?
Thanks.

Installing Oracle 10g with Apex 4.0

I installed Oracle 10g Express Client. I have Apex 2.1 right now. I tried to follow the instructions in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf2HEtNmHmU) to upgrade to Apex 4.0, but when I enter my password in cmd, it says TNS protocol adapter error, so I could not proceed. Please help me.
Also, can I create an application in apex 2.1 with charts implementation?
You need to install the full Oracle Express Database (not just the client).
You could try the 11g Express Edition beta which has 4.0 already installed
