EPM System Update and Upgrade Policies

This topic outlines the update and upgrade policies for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System.

Update Policies

An EPM System update is applied on top of Release 11.2.x, from another Release 11.2.x update. For example, you can update from Release 11.2.2.0.000 (Release 11.2, Update 2) to Release 11.2.8.0.000 (Release 11.2, Update 8). You can apply one or more patches on top of an update.

  • EPM System updates are released on a quarterly basis, generally in January, April, July, and October.
  • Updates include changes for all embedded components, such as WebLogic and Java, as needed.
  • You can directly apply an update from all the previous releases, starting from Release 11.2.2 and above.
  • Updates are applied in place.
  • Any customer patches that were released are rolled into the next update.
  • Applying an update removes all patches applied to the previous update.
  • Updates are expected to be easy to apply and have minimum impact for you to absorb.

When you apply an update, use the Apply Update option in EPM System Installer, and then perform any required configuration tasks in EPM System Configurator. See Applying an Update to EPM System Products in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide .

Upgrade Policies

Oracle supports direct upgrade from Release 11.1.2.4.xxx to any of the updates. For details, see Supported Paths to Release 11.2.

To upgrade, you deploy EPM System Release 11.2.x software on a new machine and migrate EPM System Release 11.1.2.4.xxx artifacts (such as applications, metadata, and security) and data to the new deployment. See Upgrading EPM System in Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.

  • 32561832 -- There was a problem with Export Template for Management Ledger applications that occurred in rare cases where the application had no Default Alias table defined. The error caused a missing comma at the end of each line of the exported dimension text files that were included in the exported template file, which prevented the template file from successfully importing. That issue is addressed in this release.

  • 32491425 -- For Management Ledger applications, this release addresses a performance issue that existed in the Update Dimensions job when updating large dimensions.

  • 31961078 -- For Management Ledger applications, this release corrects a calculation performance issue that affected larger applications.

Release 11.2.4 resolves the following Profitability and Cost Management defects:

  • 32086440 -- For Management Ledger calculations, the Essbase debug scripts were always getting generated, even when the runtime option was not selected. This situation could cause some rules to be skipped when running parallel rule sets. Now the Essbase debug scripts are only captured when the runtime option is selected.

  • 31974684 -- For Management Ledger applications there was a performance regression that prevented calculations and other operations from using the dimension cache. That issue is corrected in this release.

  • 31838361 -- In Trace Allocations for Management Ledger applications, when doing a forward trace on a calculation rule that has an alternative offset location specified, the rule node now correctly displays a value for "Allocation Out".

  • 31753598 - In Trace Allocations for Management Ledger applications, when doing a backwards trace on a calculation that had an alternative offset, the node would display a value that was double the actual value because it was combining the allocation offset amount and allocation out. Now, the correct value is displayed when alternate offsets are involved.

  • 31555438 - For Management Ledger applications, when the Template Import job cannot create and deploy the Essbase cube for the imported application, the job now completes with Success with Warnings and an appropriate error message, rather than as Success with no message about the failure to deploy the cube.

  • 31560568 - For Management Ledger applications, in the Model Summary screen, the Essbase Cluster value was editable but was not showing the valid values in the environment other than the current value, so there was no way to select a different value in order to correct an incorrect value. That problem is resolved in this release.

  • 30575404 - For Management Ledger applications, the Essbase Cluster application preference used to be included in exported template files and was always used during template import, leaving no option to select a different value during import into another environment. In this release, the Essbase cluster value is enabled to select in the application creation dialog box, from the list of Essbase clusters that are present in the current environment. This improves the portability of template export files from one environment to another, and aids in the migration of Management Ledger applications from previous releases or to Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud.

  • 30776134 -- The Export Dimension feature in the Profitability Applications console was creating a comma-separated-values (csv) dimension text file with correctly-formatted contents, but without the expected ".csv" file suffix. In this release, the Export Dimensions feature correctly creates the dimension text file with the .csv file suffix.

  • 30774672 -- For Standard Profitability applications, in the Manage Queries screen, changes to the Suppress #Missing and the Dimension Aliases check boxes were not correctly saved; that problem is fixed in this release.

  • 32200773 - If you are using Oracle Database with Financial Reporting, the execute privilege is required on dbms_lob for the database user. Use the following SQL command:
    SQL> grant execute on dbms_lob to Public;

    or

    SQL> grant execute on dbms_lob to [user];

    where [user] is the schema name for the Financial Reporting Repository.

    This step is required to create Financial Reporting database connections and to run Financial Reporting reports.

Financial Management Known Issues

Oracle Hyperion Financial Management Release 11.2.8 includes the following known issues:

32195720 - Configuring Web Tier Services

The following steps should be performed before starting the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management - Web Tier services after applying maintenance builds and updates:

  1. Clear the browser cache.

  2. Clear the contents of the webapp tmp under \Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\servers\HFMWeb0\tmp\.

30589111 - Configuring the Financial Management Database using an SSL Connection

If you configure the Financial Management database by using SSL connection, an error occurs while accessing the Consolidation Administration feature. This issue occurs because the JDBC datasource named "hfm_datasource" that is created during installation cannot connect to the Oracle database on the SSL-enabled port because the necessary properties were not added to the datasource during creation.

Workaround: You must manually define the necessary properties for the JDBC connection using the WebLogic admin console.

  1. Log into the WebLogic admin console.

  2. Click the Lock and Edit button to make changes to the domain configuration.

  3. Select Data Sources in the Services section to display all of the datasources defined within the domain.

  4. Click on hfm_datasource to edit the datasource configuration.

  5. Click the Connection Pool subtab to edit the connection parameters.

  6. Addjavax.net.ssl.trustStore={path to the trust store} to the multiline text field titled Properties.

  7. Add javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword={trust store password} to the multiline text field titled Encrypted Properties using the Add Securely button.

  8. Click Save.

  9. Click the Activate Changes button.

  10. Click the Lock & Edit button to make changes to the domain configuration.

  11. Under Environment, select Server.

  12. Select HFMWeb0.

  13. Select the Control tab.

  14. Select an option from the Shutdown drop down list.

  15. Select Start when HFMWeb0 has shut down.

  16. Click the check box next to HFMWeb0 if it is not already checked.

  17. Click the Release Configuration button.

As a best practice, you should restart the Financial Management services to ensure that Financial Management uses the proper datasource definitions.

Oracle Database

If you are using an Oracle database, you may experience an issue where the Financial Management failover process does not run correctly if one or more Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) nodes goes down. To improve stability you can configure Financial Management by manually setting the ConnectionOptions setting in the HFM parameter table.

To enable the ConnectionOptions setting, execute the following SQL commands:

INSERT INTO XFM_PARAMETERS_DEFAULTS (NAME, TYPE, HIDDEN, DESCRIPTION) VALUES ('ConnectionOptions', '2', '1', 'Extra connection options');

INSERT INTO XFM_PARAMETERS (PARAMETERNAME, CLUSTERNAME, SERVERNAME, APPLICATIONNAME, CATEGORYNAME, CREATEDBY, UPDATEDBY, VALUE) VALUES ('ConnectionOptions', 'ALL', 'ALL', 'ALL', 'ALL', 'system', 'system', ';FM=2;ASRV=(HOST=xxxHOSTxxx:PORT=yyyPORTyyy:ServiceName=zzzServiceNamezzz)');

Replace the xxxHOSTxxx, yyyPORTyyy, zzzServiceNamezzz with the actual hostname, port, and service name to the Oracle RAC DB environment respectively. If the environment is set up with a SID, replace the ServiceName=zzz with SID=zzz.

If Oracle RAC is set up with one scan address and multiple nodes (n), the ASRVsettting (or "AlternateServers") must include the scan address multiple (n-1) times. For example, the following ConnectionOptions setting is needed for a RAC environment with one scan address and 3 failovers:

INSERT INTO XFM_PARAMETERS (PARAMETERNAME, CLUSTERNAME, SERVERNAME, APPLICATIONNAME, CATEGORYNAME, CREATEDBY, UPDATEDBY, VALUE) VALUES ('ConnectionOptions', 'ALL', 'ALL', 'ALL', 'ALL', 'system', 'system', ';FM=2;ASRV=(HOST=10.11.12.13:PORT=1521:ServiceName=OracleRAC, HOST=10.11.12.13:PORT=1521:ServiceName=OracleRAC)');

    Workaround: Close the first Smart List before switching to another cell or Smart List.

  • 31216871—YEARS DIMENSION DISPLAYS VERSION MEMBERS WHEN NAVIGATE FROM VER DIM TO YEAR IN OUTLINE. When you navigate to the Years dimension after viewing the Version dimension, the system displays the Version dimension members under the Years dimension. But if you navigate to any other dimension and then navigate back to the Years dimension, the correct Years dimension members are displayed.

    Workaround: If the wrong dimension members are displayed under the Years dimension, click any dimension other than the Version dimension, then view the Years dimension again.

  • 30870289—11.2 HYS9RMIREGISTRY_EPMSYSTEMX HYPERIONJAVASERVICE.EXE NOT LISTENING TO RMI 11333 PORT. The Planning RMI Server contains an incorrect reference to JRE 1.6.0 and to client\jvm.dll. Only ODI connectivity to Planning and the cuberefresh Planning utility uses RMI, so impact should be low.

    Workaround: Set the RMI JVM in the registry to point to Oracle\Middleware\dbclient32\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll which is a 32-bit jvm.dll.

Additional Known Issues

  • 29869779—ADF ERROR WHEN CREATING COMPOSITE FORM. You can't drag a simple form to the layout area of a composite form.

  • 30382303—ON-PREM - IN CERTAIN CASES ASO FORMULA VALIDATES SUCCESSFULLY WITH SEMICOLON CHARACTER. A member formula validates successfully when it shouldn’t in this circumstance: You enter a formula that ends with a semicolon character for an aggregate storage (ASO) cube.

  • 30386969—UI HANGS SAVING A VALUE IN A COMPOSITE DATA FORM. If a composite form contains duplicate component forms, the user interface freezes when you save data in the composite form.

  • 32311710—LCM MIGRATION FAILED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON - 28. The migration failed because you can't use dimension names that are the same name as a member property or a column header in the metadata load file (for example, Data Type). The "Naming Restrictions" appendix of the Administering Planning does not state this.

Profitability and Cost Management Known Issues

Profitability and Cost Management Release 11.2.8 includes the following known issues:

  • 34002495 - The Profitability and Cost Management SP Model Summary Information screen hangs when the dbName property is missing from the DATABASE_CONN component of the registry.

    Workaround: You must manually update the dbName property name in the DATABASE_CONN component of the registry as shown below: 

    epmsys_registry.bat addproperty SYSTEM9/PROFITABILITY_PRODUCT/DATABASE_CONN/@dbName <SID>

    For example:

    epmsys_registry.bat addproperty SYSTEM9/PROFITABILITY_PRODUCT/DATABASE_CONN/@dbName ora19ssl
  • 33114068 - If you have installed Essbase 21c, the Essbase cube(s) for a Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management application may not appear within the legacy Essbase Administrative Services (EAS) user interface. Ensure that you use the Administrative Essbase Web Interface to work with the Essbase cubes.

  • WSDL-based web services are not supported in Release 11.2 for Profitability and Cost Management. REST web services are supported. Customers using the WSDL sample client must convert to using the REST sample client hpm_ws_rest_client.bat/hpm_ws_rest_client.sh. For more information about using the REST sample client or developing your own REST API integration, see Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management REST API Developer's Guide Version 11.2.5.0.000.

  • 33038661 -- The Import Template action in Profitability Applications is not fully compatible with application templates exported from 11.1.2.4 versions prior to 11.1.2.4.132, or from 11.2 vesions prior to 11.2.3. For templates from the prior versions, the cube may not get deployed and the input data (if included and selected) may not get imported.

    If you need to import a template from an incompatible prior version into a target envrionment where the Essbase Cluster name is different than it is in the source system, follow these steps:

    1. Open the template zip file and navigate down to the Preferences folder.

    2. Find the file in the Preferences folder called essbase.host.name and delete it.

    3. Confirm that your changes are saved in the template zip file.

    4. Import the template - it should import succesfully now, including loading the input data if that was included in the template file and selected in the Import Template dialog box.

  • 32698046 -- This release includes performance enhancements involving a dimension cache. In clustered environments, the cache must be refreshed on each Profitability and Cost Management managed server node. The cluster-enabled cache refresh is not enabled by default. If your system is configured with multiple managed servers, then you will need to issue the following SQL statement in the Profitability and Cost Management database, to add the installation preference which enables the cluster-enabled cache refresh.

    For an Oracle database, execute this statement in SQL Developer as the schema owner and commit the change, then restart the Profitability and Cost Management service on each managed server: 

    INSERT INTO HPM_INSTALLATION_PREFERENCE
    (ID, NAME, VALUE, HPM_INSTALLATION_ID, CREATED_TIMESTAMP,
     CREATED_USERID, MODIFIED_TIMESTAMP, MODIFIED_USERID,
     DISPLAY_ORDER)
 VALUES (46, 'dimension.cache.cluster.refresh.enabled', 'Y', 1, SYSDATE,
'INIT', SYSDATE,'INIT', 46);

    For an SQL Server database, execute this statement in SQL Server Management Studio as the database owner, then restart the Profitability and Cost Management service on each managed server: 

    INSERT INTO HPM_INSTALLATION_PREFERENCE
    (ID, NAME, VALUE, HPM_INSTALLATION_ID, CREATED_TIMESTAMP,
     CREATED_USERID, MODIFIED_TIMESTAMP, MODIFIED_USERID,
     DISPLAY_ORDER)
VALUES (46, 'dimension.cache.cluster.refresh.enabled', 'Y', 1, getDate(),
'INIT', getDate(), 'INIT', 46);
go

    To revert this setting, delete the same row or update the value to N.

  • 32525244 -- For Standard Profitability and Cost Management applications that were created by duplicating an existing application, you get an error such as "Error processing calculation scripts" the first time you run a calculation. This can be avoided by first running the application with only the Clear Calculated Data option selected, and then running the calculation in a separate job.

  • 32123383 -- In the Manage Queries screen for Management Ledger applications, if you try to edit a query that belongs to an application other than the current application, you will get an error message when you try to save the changes. The workaround is to only edit queries from within the application they belong to.

  • 32109059 -- While calculating parallel rule sets (with a Calculation Threads preference value greater than 1) and with the Capture Essbase Debug Scripts runtime option selected, some of the rule executions can get skipped without any errors or warnings reported. To avoid this problem, if you need to capture Essbase debug scripts, you can temporarily change the Calculation Threads application preference to 1.

  • 31721173 -- Oracle Essbase is now expecting all dimensions specified in the left-hand side of the formula to be specified in the right-hand side as well. Prior to Release 11.1.2.4.036, it was not mandatory. If you do not specify the left-hand-side dimensions in the right-hand side, you will receive the following message: "Error: The argument [Script] is missing one or more dimensions."

  • 30445644 -- For Detailed Profitability applications using SQL Server, the Total Output and Unassigned Cost values in the Stage Summary section of Stage Balancing do not display the correct values.

  • 30440499, 30462134 -- In APS connection mode on distributed systems, where Essbase is installed on a different server from Profitability and Cost Management, Essbase connection errors can occur during cube deployment, calculation, rule balancing, and so on if APS is not correctly installed and configured.

Shared Services Known Issues

Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Release 11.2.5 includes the following known issue:

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Channel Binding for Microsoft Active Directory Hardening

The default configurations for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) channel binding and LDAP signing has known vulnerabilities that let LDAP clients communicate with them without enforcing LDAP channel binding and LDAP signing.

Microsoft recommended safe default configurations for LDAP channel binding and LDAP signing on Active Directory Domain Controllers that supersedes the default unsafe configurations are available in ADV190023 Microsoft Guidance for Enabling LDAP Channel Binding and LDAP Signing.

Oracle recommends that Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System deployments that use MSAD follow the procedures in the Microsoft advisory to manually update LDAP channel binding and LDAP signing configurations until a fix is available from Microsoft.

After manually updating LDAP channel binding and LDAP signing configurations on the MSAD server, use only SSL connections in EPM System to access MSAD.
