IMPORTANT Actions and Considerations

One-Week Lag Between Readiness Documents Live and Help Center Live

Because Oracle readiness documents (What's New and New Feature Summary) are live one week before the monthly update is applied to Test environments, some links to documentation included in the readiness documents will not work until after the Oracle Help Center update is complete when the monthly update is applied to Test environments.

This update includes Important Actions and Considerations specific to:

Cloud EPM Platform
Enterprise Data Management

CLOUD EPM PLATFORM

Renaming of Roles References in Cloud EPM

In the past, Cloud EPM Access Control screens and documentation used the label Predefined Roles for the identity domain–level roles (Service Administrator, Power User, User, and Viewer). The label Application Roles was used for the granular roles within business processes.

However, Oracle Identity Cloud and Console use the label Application Role for the identity domain–level roles. This inconsistency has caused confusion across Cloud EPM. To address this, Cloud EPM screens and documentation will adopt the following terminology changes starting with the 26.01 (January 2026) update:

The label Application Role will now exclusively refer to the identity domain–level roles. It will be synonymous to the currently used Predefined Role label. However, the documentation and user interfaces will continue to refer to use the Predefined Role label at this time.
The label Granular Role will be used to refer to the business process–specific roles in user interfaces and documentation.

Upcoming Change to Default Idle Session Timeout

Starting with the November 2025 (25.11) update, the default idle session timeout for Cloud EPM will be reduced from 75 minutes to 30 minutes. This means users will be automatically signed out from identity domain after 30 minutes of inactivity — a change aimed at enhancing platform security.

You can continue to customize this setting using the setIdleSessionTimeout command in EPM Automate or the Set Idle Session Timeout REST API. The timeout can be set to any value between 4 and 480 minutes.

Note:

If you've already customized your idle session timeout, your current setting will remain unchanged after the update.
If you wish to keep the timeout at 75 minutes, you’ll need to update it manually before November 2025, using one of the methods mentioned above.

Cloud EPM to Remove the setIPAllowList and getIPAllowList EPM Automate Commands and the IPAllowList REST API

Starting with the February 2026 (26.02) update, Oracle will remove the setIPAllowList and getIPAllowList EPM Automate commands and the IPAllowList REST API.

These commands and REST APIs were temporary solutions implemented due to the lack of an equivalent security feature in Oracle Identity Cloud.However, with the introduction of Network Perimeter functionality in Oracle Identity Cloud, you can set the allowed and/or blocked IP addresses and CIDRs for the whole domain, which also protects access to Cloud Console.

As part of this transition, the following EPM Automate commands and REST APIS used for managing and viewing IP allowlists are marked as deprecated:

If you use the IP allowlists per environment, you must transition to Network Perimeter by the February 2026 update. See Migrating from Per-Environment IP Allowlist to Network Perimeter in an Identity Domain in the Getting Started Guide for Administrators for detailed information.

Learning Paths Decommissioned

Starting with the December (25.12) update, all Learning Paths will be decommissioned and will no longer be available.

ENTERPRISE DATA MANAGEMENT

Accelerator Templates Available in the EDM Sample Application

Starting with this update, the accelerator application templates for Oracle Financial Services Accounting Foundation Cloud Service (AFCS) and Oracle Financial Services Data Foundation Cloud Service (DFCS) applications can be exported from the EDM Sample application. Accelerator application templates help to expedite the application creation process in EDM by providing a template that contains the basic dimensions, node types, properties, and validations for an application so that you do not have to create all of those objects manually. Previously, these templates were only available by entering a service request.

For additional information, see Working with Accelerator Applications in Administering and Working with Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Data Management.

Nodes in Viewpoint Loads that Match Top Node Keyword Now Skipped

Starting with the September (25.09) update, if a node in the viewpoint load file has the same name as the Top Node Keyword that you specified in the load options, that record is skipped when the load file is processed.

Improved Property Filtering During Constraint Configuration

Starting with the September (25.09) update, the following criteria is taken into consideration when determining whether a property is available for a particular type of uniqueness constraint:

For Application Bound or Dimension Bound constraints, a property must be at the Node level, not inherited, and have a Default Type of None only for bound node types in the specified application or dimension.
For Node Type constraints, a property must be at the Node level, not inherited, and have a Default Type of None only for the node types specified in the constraint (bound or unbound).

JSON Filename Extension Required When Importing and Exporting a Template File

Starting with the December (25.12) update, the filename extension must be JSON only when importing or exporting a template file via the REST API. Specifying a filename extension other than JSON (such as TXT or DAT) will result in a validation error.
