Keeping Snapshots Up to Date

Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud supports snapshot compatibility for one monthly cycle only; you can migrate maintenance snapshots from the test environment to the production environment and vice versa. However, the auditing requirements of some customers may necessitate restoring snapshots from multiple years on the latest environment, and accessing application for a a short period of time.

This can be achieved using an EPM Automate script that you can execute once every month to convert the available snapshots and make them compatible with the latest EPM Cloud update level. Oracle recommends that you run the script after the third Friday of the month to ensure that all issues within the production environment have been resolved.

See Recreate an Old EPM Cloud Environment for Audits in Working with EPM Automate for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for information on how to create this script.
