Release 11.2.23 includes the following new features:

  • Beginning with release 11.2.23
    • HFM extends its support to Linux as well. Specifically, it will be available on Linux 8 with both Oracle Database and SQL Server. From release 11.2.23 onward, existing EPM 11.2.15+ deployments can be completely migrated to Linux 8.
    • HFM now supports migration from Mixed OS to Linux using the Out Of Place procedure.
    • New Native Script Engine Support at the application level - The Microsoft Script Engine and Native Script Engine can be enabled at the application level. This allows one application to run using the Microsoft Script Engine, while another application can run using the Native Script Engine.
    • Feature to connect using SSO directly using Financial Management API. Use this API to get the SSOToken by providing the WebSecurityAgentCredentials instead of utilizing the CSS API.
    • Customization and restriction for system defined artifacts to load into an application. Going forward, specific file extensions are enforced for various Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) artifacts to ensure proper functionality and compatibility. See HFM Artifacts and File Extensions for more details.
  • Support for changing the ownership of a deployment to a different user is available starting in version 11.2.23 (for Windows only).
  • Patches and Updates

Financial Management Features

Financial Management Platform-Independent Release

On May 22, 2024, Microsoft announced the deprecation of VBScript along with its timeline. See VBScript deprecation: Timelines and next steps for more details.

To support Financial Management customers in executing business logic natively, Financial Management Platform Independent Release 11.2.21 was delivered in April 2025. This release introduces native script engine support in preparation for upcoming deprecations.

Table 1-3 Key Changes in 11.2.21

Change Area Details
Server Process Changed to ofmserver.exe
Server Log File Name Format: xfm_odl_srv_<appname>.log
Array Handling Financial management script engine had inconsistency during the array handling. Array created with two different ways behave differently and returning the lbound value 0 and 1

Table 1-4 Example: Array Handling Differences

Example Code snippet lbound Value
Example 1 Dim A(20)for i = lbound(a) to ubound(a) 0
Example 2 
myList = HS.Entity.List("",
      "[Base]")
for j = lbound(myList) to
      ubound(myList)
 1
  • As a Financial Platform independent release these inconsistencies have been addressed. The functions which return an array are impacted, for example, List, AttributeList, etc.
  • Avoid hardcoding array bounds (0 or 1). Always use lbound() and ubound() as index references.

Financial Management Updates on Microsoft Engine Removal

As Microsoft has confirmed the deprecation of the VBScript engine (see Deprecation details), the Financial Management roadmap provides the plan for its removal and the introduction of an alternative with no significant impact.

Table 1-5 Microsoft Engine Removal Timeline

Release Timeline Windows Support Linux Support
11.2.21 Apr 2025 Microsoft Script Engine (Default) -
11.2.22 Jul 2025
  • Microsoft Script Engine (Default)
  • Native Script Engine (Available)
 -
11.2.23 October 2025
  • Microsoft Script Engine (Default)
  • Native Script Engine (Available)
 Native Script Engine
11.2.27 October 2026
  • Native Script Engine (Default)
  • Microsoft Script Engine (Critical fixes only)

In this release the Native Script Engine will become the default script engine. Starting from 11.2.22 to 11.2.27 release customers are advised to plan the transition from the Microsoft Script Engine to the Native Script Engine.

 Native Script Engine
11.2.31 October 2027
  • Native Script Engine (Default)
  • Microsoft Script Engine (Removed)

Starting from 11.2.22, till 11.2.31, customers must transition from the Microsoft Script Engine to the Native Script Engine. In release 11.2.31, the Microsoft Script Engine is removed, and is no longer an available option.

Note: If Microsoft adjusts their timeline for the deprecation of VBScript, Oracle will align its timeline accordingly to ensure continued support for the Microsoft Script Engine, as needed.

Native Script Engine

For more information on the script engine transition updates. see Procedure to switch from Microsoft Engine to Native Script Engine.

Optional: Applying Individual OPatches

Oracle recommends that you apply the set of Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Release 11.2.23 product Opatches together, using the ApplyUpdate script. See Applying Release 11.2.23 for more details.

However, you can also apply selected OPatches based on your operating system environment:

Note:

It is recommended to take a back up of the original configure<OS>.properties file before you edit the properties file for the desired OPatches.
  1. From the directory where you downloaded and extracted the 11.2.23.0-Update-<OS> folder, open configureWindows.properties or configureLinux.properties file based on your operating system.
  2. In the configure<OS>.properties file, include only those products that you want to apply. For example, if you want to apply Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager OPatch, ensure that the entry CALC=38233522 is present in the configure<OS>.properties file. The list of individual products and their OPatch IDs in the configure<OS>.properties file are listed below:
    • CALC=38233522
    • FCM=38247406
    • FDMEE=38237314
    • FR=38241753
    • HFM=38165639
    • HP=38181830
    • HPCM=38236692
    • HSS=38208185
    • Infra=38208192
    • InfraCommon=38245230
    • TAXPROV=38247547
    • Workspace=38227002
    For more details on individual EPM system products, OPatch ZIP file names and OPatch IDs, see OPatch Dependencies and Details.
  3. Run the ApplyUpdate Script to apply the individual OPatch:
    • On Windows:

      Note:

      The following script must only be run with Administrator privileges. 
      ApplyUpdate.ps1 <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>
    • On Linux: 
      ApplyUpdate.sh <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>

36423106 Some Management Ledger applications experienced a significant increase in calculation run time after upgrading to Essbase 21C. In this case, there was a significant increase in the calculation scripts generation time for one or more rules. A temporary workaround was given to resolve the issue, which involved setting a special parameter in the essbase.cfg file. The problem is fixed permanently and directly now starting in Essbase 21.7.3.

  • Prepositions used in search strings are not working. For example, when you search:
    • "StockAgeing_analysis by BS", if you remove "by" it works.
    • "PL by entities", search string "PL entities" works fine
  • When using the search feature, ensure the search text field on Workspace's top right side has the intended search string, or if using Advanced Search this top right search field is empty; otherwise, it will append the previous search text and the new search text.
Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management
38412133 Occasionally, a deploy cube failure occurs when using an APS Essbase connection in a Windows distributed environment configured for SSL. As a workaround, use an embedded Essbase connection to complete the deploy operation successfully.

By default, Profitability and Cost Management supports up to 15 Management Ledger applications. This limit is in place because Management Ledger applications use a dimension cache to accelerate UI interactions and improve the performance of batch jobs. During the startup of the Profitability service, the cache for all existing Management Ledger applications is loaded. The limit prevents out-of-memory errors during service startup, and long service startup times. Starting in Release 11.2.19, the applications limit is controlled by a user-configurable governor which allows you to increase this limit, provided the server is configured with sufficient memory. Contact Oracle Support if you need access to this governor.

When you install Profitability and Cost Management on Linux using a language other than English, only that language will be functional for end users in the UI, even after you select a different language in the browser settings.

When you install on Linux using English, all supported languages will be available for end users, by changing the language in the browser settings. This problem is not known to affect Windows installations.

For clustered environments where there are more than one managed Profitability instance, e.g. Profitability0 and Profitability1, there is an installation preference that must be set in order to fully enable the communication between the clustered nodes. Execute the following SQL in a tool like Oracle SQL Developer, while logged in as the Profitabilty product schema owner. Be sure to commit the change, and then restart the Profitability service.

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);

This will ensure that dimension updates will be visible in both nodes.

If you revert to non-clustered mode, you should delete this row and restart the Profitability service, to disable the dimension cache cluster refresh.
36353159 When a Profitability application template exported from a Windows instance is successfully imported into Linux instance, a rare failure to create the Essbase cube from the InputData content in the template may occur. This rare situation is generally discovered when accessing the missing cube. To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
  1. Use Manage Database > Essbase Deploy to create the calculation cube.
  2. Use Manage Database Data Load to load the text file found within the template's InputData folder.

Standard Profitability Applications are no longer supported, and will not be accessible in this patch.

If you installed this patch but are still using Standard applications, you should roll back this patch. Your standard applications will become accessible again after rolling back this patch and then reregistering each application. To reregister:

  1. In the Profitability Applications console, select the Standard application that you want to continue using, then select Re-Register from the Actions menu.
  2. In the Workspace Navigator, select Applications and then, click Refresh. You will now see the reregistered application in the Applications > Profitability list.
36124578 Starting with the 11.2.16 release, the REST Sample Client can only be run on the server where Profitability and Cost Management is installed. See the Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management REST API Developer’s Guide for details.
