Purpose
This document includes important, late-breaking information about this release of Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management. Review this Readme thoroughly before installing Financial Close Management.
Scope of this Release
Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management Release 11.2.1.0.000 offers these benefits:
- Delivers updated technology, including Fusion Middleware (FMW) 12g.
