Optional: Applying Individual OPatches

Oracle recommends that you apply the set of Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Release 11.2.24 product Opatches together, using the ApplyUpdate script. See Applying Release 11.2.24 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 11.2.24.0-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=38612041 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=38612041
    • FCM=38463478
    • FDMEE=38594330
    • FR=38603648
    • HFM=38609827
    • HP=38613266

Defect Number Description

Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology
38584088

Creating a new Taskflow with the browser language set to French Canadian results in an error due to missing variables. The Taskflow works as expected when the browser language is set to English, but it fails in other languages.

38257991

In HFM environments upgraded to 11.2.19 or later, users with their browser language set to Italian experienced errors when editing task flow start dates. The system displayed dates in DD/MM/YYYY format, but saving triggered an Invalid start date format.

Workaround: Ensure to use DD/MM/YYYY format to avoid "Invalid month value" error.

  • 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.

Because of an Essbase Error (1290010) in Essbase 21c, calculations for one or more POVs are unsuccessful. This is caused when an allocation or other calculation script runs longer than the time allowed by the current Essbase configuration. Workaround: Add the following lines to the essbase.properties file to prevent the timeout:

  • olap.server.netSocketTryInfinite=false

  • olap.server.netRetryCount=144000

    (144000 is equivalent to 8 hours)

For more details, see the Provider Services Configuration chapter in Configuration Reference for Oracle Essbase.
35743432 Member formulas requiring double quotes in their syntax can be imported in Update Dimension by using double double quotes around the formula. However, if that dimension is later exported using Export Dimension, those formulas will each be exported with only a single set of double quotes. To re-import that dimension using the exported the file, the file must be edited to re-add the extra set of double quotes for each formula that requires double quotes in its syntax.
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.
