This section includes important information about applying this patch for EPM System Installer.
CAUTION: Confirm that ALL Prerequisites are completed prior to moving forward.
CAUTION: Because of the extensive database changes that result from applying this patch, rolling back the patch is not supported. Before you apply the patch, be sure to perform an entire system backup.
[NOTE TO WRITERS: Make sure that instructions for applying the PATCH indicate specifically which components are being patched and which machines in a distributed installation should be patched. for example, “on the machine hosting the shared services web application, …”]
[NOTE TO WRITERS: For web applications, make sure you provide instructions for all supported application servers.]
To apply this patch:
1. All Financial Close Management patches should be installed on all the boxes that host the below managed servers:
o Financial Close Management managed server
o Foundation Services managed server
o Admin server
o SOA server
2. Confirm the environment is running properly.
Windows:
Go to Start, then Programs, then EPM System, then Foundation Services, then <INSTANCE_NAME>, and then Epm system diagnostic.
Linux:
Run this command:
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/<INSTANCE_NAME>/bin/validate.sh).
3. Stop FinancialClose Managed Server, then stop the SOA Managed Server, and the Foundation Services Managed Server and then Admin Server.
4. Download and unzip the downloaded patch file, <PATCH FILE NAME>.zip, to the <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch directory (by default, Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/OPatch).
NOTE: <PATCH FILE NAME>.zip is the name that My Oracle Support assigns to this patch. When you download the file, a message indicates the file name.
5. On the Financial Close Management Managed server, from a command line, change the directory to <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch.
6. To apply the patch, enter the following command on one line:
[NOTE TO WRITERS: very important! the jdk version in the apply command is different for 11.1.2.0, 11.1.2.1, and 11.1.2.2. change the jdk160_xx directory as follows:
11.1.2.3: JDK160_35
11.1.2.2: jdk160_29
11.1.2.1: jdk160_21
11.1.2.0: jdk160_11
The example here is for 11.1.2.2.
Windows:
opatch.bat apply
<EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/<PATCH DIRECTORY> -oh
<EPM_ORACLE_HOME>
-jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_35
NOTE: The default for <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is C:/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1. The default for <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is C:/Oracle/Middleware.
UNIX/Linux:
./opatch apply <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/<PATCH DIRECTORY> -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_35 -invPtrLoc <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/oraInst.loc
NOTE: The default for <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is $HOME/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1. The default for <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is $HOME/Oracle/Middleware.
7. Ignore step 8 and 9 when Foundation Services Managed server and Financial Close Management Managed server are on the same machine.
8. On the Foundation Services Managed server(s), from a command line, change the directory to <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch.
9. To apply the patch, enter the following command on one line:
Windows:
opatch.bat apply <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/<PATCH DIRECTORY> -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>

10. Validating Financial Close Manager Configuration.
a. Launch the Close Manager validation tool from a web browser:
http://<FCMHOST>:<FCMPORT>/fcc/faces/oracle/apps/epm/fcc/ui/page/FCCValidation.jspx
Where FCMHOST is the name of the machine where FinancialClose0 managed server is configured
and where FCMPORT is the Listening port of FinancialClose0 managed Server in the WebLogic console.
The default FCMPORT is 8700.
b. Log on with Close Manager administrator credentials.
c. To validate the Close Manager configuration, click the Validate Close Manager Configuration button.
d. All results should have check marks instead of an X.
e. To run validate the test schedule, click Validate Test Scheduler.
All results should have marked with check marks instead of an X.
11. Validating Account Reconciliation Manager Configuration.
a. Launch the Account Reconciliation Manager validation tool from a web browser:
http://<FCMHOST>:<FCMPORT>/arm/faces/oracle/apps/epm/arm/ui/page/common/ARMValidation.jspx
Where FCMHOST is the name of the machine where FinancialClose0 managed server is configured
and where FCMPORT is the Listening port of FinancialClose0 managed Server in the WebLogic console.
The default FCMPORT is 8700Login with Account Reconciliation Manager administrator credentials.
b. Log on with Account Reconciliation Manager administrator credentials.
c. To validate the Account Reconciliation Manager configuration, click the Validate Account Reconciliation Manager Configuration button.
d. All results should have check marks instead of an X.
e. To run validate the test schedule, click Validate Test Scheduler.
f. All results should have marked with check marks instead of an X.
12. All users should now clear cached files from their browsers.
13. Perform the below steps only if you have single currency bucket configuration prior to applying the patch.
14. Note: After applying the patch single currency bucket configuration is replaced with multi currency bucket Configuration with Functional currency bucket enabled.
o In Profile List View, use the “Actions Panel” (located in the lower left of the screen) to set attribute “Historical Rate” to “Yes” to all Profiles. Notice: This clears the invalid profile flag.
o Add a new Category mapping in FDMEE to ARM’s Functional currency bucket (also add this to the Application mapping tab)
o Delete old Data load rules that referenced the Default ARM category (associated with single currency bucket configuration)
o Add a new Data Load Rule that references the Functional category
o In ARM, remove any balance columns currently displayed in List Views and Portlets. Re-add these columns, so that they contain the proper bucket ID reference
o Run new Data Load from ARM and confirm data displays properly in both the List Views and Reconciliation Actions dialog.
Opatch failed on Prerequisite check because LCMAMService-Client.jar is still active.
When Opatch is applied and Opatch checks the prerequisites, if you see the following error message:

System intact, OPatch will not attempt to restore the system
1. Verify that Shared Services is stopped and wait for 10 minutes, and then try to run OPatch again.
2. If you still get the same error, run a free utility from Microsoft called Process Explorer to detect the process holding local files.
>To run Process Explorer:
3. Download and extract the ZIP to a directory:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
4. Launch procexp.exe.
5. Accept the agreement message from Microsoft (first time only).
6. When Process Explorer is launched:
a. Navigate to View, and then Show Lower Pane.
b. Navigate to View Menu, then Lower Pane View, and then Handles.
7. To find which process is holding LCMAMSERVICE-CLIENT.JAR:
a. Click Find, and then Find Handle or DLL.
b. Mention LCMAMSERVICE-CLIENT.JAR in the Handle or DLL substring box.
c. Click Search, which lists the processes.
After Applying this Patch, New Features Do Not Display in Financial Close Management
In some cases, the user interface may not reflect the new code applied by this patch.
To confirm this is not an issue:
· For Account Reconciliation Manager, the Account Reconciliation Manager Validation Tool should display the build version as 11.1.2.3.700.XXXX. See step 12 of the Post-Installation Steps to launch the Validation Tool.
· For Close Manager, the Financial Close Management Validation Tool should display the build version as 11.1.2.3.700.XXXX. See step 11 of the Post-Installation Steps to launch the Validation Tool.
If the build version does not display as 11.1.2.3.700.XXXX, follow these steps to force the user interface to display the new code by forcing WebLogic to check for JSP pages:
1. Open the WebLogic Administration Console (http://<SERVER>:<PORT>/console).
2. Go to Home, and then Deployments.
3. Expand Financial Close under deployments, select fcc, and then select the Configuration tab.
4. Update JSP Page Check (in seconds) to a non-negative number (for example, 1).
5. Save to update the deployment plan.
6. After saving, set the JSP Page Check (in seconds) to the original value (for example, -1).
Note: If you do not reset the value to -1, you may experience WebLogic performance issues.
7. Save again.

If the patch that you apply conflicts with a previously applied patch, you may receive the following error message when running OPatch:
Patch(es) <PreviousPatch#> conflict with the patch currently being installed (<NewPatch#>).
If you continue, patch(es) <PreviousPatch#> will be rolled back and the new patch (<NewPatch#>) will be installed.
If a merge of the new patch (<NewPatch#>) and the conflicting patch(es) (<PreviousPatch#>) is required, contact Oracle Support Services and request a Merged patch.
This error is returned when one patch attempts to update a previously patched file. When this conflict happens, you can either (1) roll back the previous patch and apply the new patch (this action might be appropriate if the previous patch was not critical) or (2) request a “merged patch” consisting of the new patch and the patch that it conflicts with. To request a merged patch, contact your Oracle Support representative.
This warning means that the patch being applied is a superset of a patch already on the deployment and the existing patch will be rolled back. The following snippet shows the context of this warning.
The following warnings have occurred during OPatch
execution:
1) OUI-67078:Interim patch 12345678 is a superset of the patch(es) [77777777]
in OH C:\Hyperion

OPatch Session completed with warnings.
In EPM System Release 11.x, you can use the lsinventory command to OPatch to find the release and patches that are installed in an Oracle Home. For example, enter the following command on one line:
[NOTE TO WRITERS: very important! the jdk version in the apply command is different for 11.1.2.0, 11.1.2.1, and 11.1.2.2. change the jdk160_xx directory as follows:
11.1.2.2: jdk160_29
11.1.2.1: jdk160_21
11.1.2.0: jdk160_11
The example here is for 11.1.2.2.
Windows:
opatch.bat lsinventory -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_35
UNIX/Linux:
./opatch lsinventory -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_35 –invPtrLoc <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/oraInst.loc
When patching an .EAR file for an application, you may need to delete the cached files in the following folders in order to see the changes provided with the patch:
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_NAME>/servers/
<MANAGED_SERVER_NAME/tmp/
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_NAME>/servers/
<MANAGED_SERVER_NAME/cache
