Assign local policies if required by the product. Such assignments typically are: “Act as part of the operating system, Bypass traverse checking, Log on as a batch job, Log on as a service.”
Use the account that was used to install EPM System products and has Read, Write, and Execute permissions on $MIDDLEWARE_HOME. If you installed other Oracle products, the user who installed EPM System products must be in the same group as the user who installed the other Oracle products. OPatches are not intended to be applied using a root user.
Applies to all supported platforms.
Applies to all languages supported by the product.
When you import a CSV file into Supplemental Data Manager, Close Manager or Account Reconciliation Manager, you can now select a Comma or a Tab as a file delimiter. The File Delimiter field was added to all import dialogs to allow users to select either a Comma or Tab delimiter.
New date calculation functions have been added to Supplemental Data Manager, Close Manager or Account Reconciliation Manager, including Year, Month, Day, Date, and Add Month. The Date Difference function now also supports years and months.
You can specify a negative Start Date for Supplemental Data Forms. See the “Assigning the Workflow” section in the Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management Administrator's Guide.
You can specify the column width for Supplemental Data forms. You can specify Small, Medium, Large, Size to Fit, or a Custom width. See the “Form Template Sections: Columns Tab” section in the Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management Administrator's Guide.
You can load viewer access to forms from files. You can also export viewer access to CSV files. See the “Setting Form Template Access for Users, Groups, or Teams and Bulk Uploading” section in the Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management Administrator's Guide.
You can assign teams as users for Supplemental Data, for example in forms and dashboards.
Smart View now supports working directly with Close Manager tasks and schedules. Users can view a list of their current tasks and submit and approve them from Smart View. To accomplish this, you install the new Close Management Smart View extension.
After installation of the extension, when you open Excel, you will see new ribbons labeled Close Tasks. See “Updating Tasks From Smart View” in the Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management User’s Guide.
In Close Manager, you now upload a File attachment or URL reference to multiple tasks at one time.
Close Manager and Account Reconciliation Manager now support archiving and purge of old financial data. Customers have found the need as the product grows in size to clean up old data which will also help keep the database size in check and enhance performance.
Archiving is now available using the Lifecycle Management export and import for run time objects like reconciliations in Account Reconciliation Manager and schedules in Close Manager. There is also additional capability to purge and restore data.
Reconciliation Compliance now supports the variance analysis process (also known as the flux analysis process) which is a key control in the overall account monitoring process to ensure balance fluctuations are monitored and explained if certain thresholds are exceeded. Variance Analysis automates the process by automatically comparing balances across periods for all account types including balance sheet, income, and expense accounts. The comparisons are selected as desired, for example, period over period, period over quarter, etc. When formats are set up, users can now choose from the Balance Comparison, Account Analysis, or Variance Analysis methods.
The same powerful rules engine that customers are using today to streamline their reconciliation process can be used for the Variance Analysis process to either automatically process accounts that do not require any user explanation or require the variance to be explained. The suggested best practice from best in class performing customers is to complete the Variance Analysis across all desired accounts prior to period-end close and certainly prior to reconciliation sign-off, so that the accounts can be as accurate as possible when the ledger closes for that period. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management Administrator's Guide.
A Service Administrator can use a new Configuration Setting in Reconciliation Compliance to allow users to perform Submit, Approve, Reject, Claim or Release on multiple reconciliations or transactions at one time.
Users now have the ability to upload a File attachment or URL reference to multiple reconciliations or transactions at one time.
Close Manager and Account Reconciliation Manager now support archiving and purge of old financial data. Customers have found the need as the product grows in size to clean up old data which will also help keep the database size in check and enhance performance.
Archiving is now available using the Lifecycle Management export and import for run time objects like reconciliations in Account Reconciliation Manager and schedules in Close Manager. There is also additional capability to purge and restore data.
The SOA engine has been removed from all workflow processing, notification, and system batch operations in all Financial Close Management modules resulting in simplified installation configuration and enhanced performance. SOA is now only required to run Close Manager system automated or event monitoring tasks. Many operations that take some time are performed in the background, can be managed through a new Manage Jobs dialog and allow users to continue on with their work while processing takes place.
Users may now name and save views of the various transactional dashboards (for example, Close Manager Task List, Account Reconciliation Manager Profiles, etc.). This includes the column layout, sort order and filters associated with the dashboard. Administrators may publish the saved dashboard views to make them available to all users.
Two new rule types have been added: prevent rejections and send email update. The prevent rejection rule prevents a reviewer from rejecting if certain conditions are not met. For example, an Administrator can set up the rule to prevent an ARM reviewer from rejecting a task until a custom 'Reject Reason' attribute has been set. The Send Email on Update rule sends emails to users if certain conditions being met. For example, this rule can be set up to send email a specified set of users if a custom 'Audit Required' attribute has been set to true.
Additionally, Administrators and Power Users will now be able to rerun rules that were previously only run during data loads. The rules that can be rerun are: Copy Transactions, Set Attribute, Auto Submit and Auto Approve.
Close Manager and Account Reconciliation Manager users now have the ability to return a task or reconciliation workflow directly to themselves. For example, a preparer can do more work on a task or a reviewer can take another look at a reconciliation.
Previously, an administrator would need to intervene to do this action. To maintain security, this new user capability is turned off by default and must be enabled by an Administrator.
User IDs will now appear next to the user names when picking users for various fields (preparer, reviewer, etc.). This will help make the correct decision when two or more users have the same name.
The limit on columns in transactional dashboards has been increased from 20 to 30.
The owner of tasks may now be changed after the schedule has been opened.
Tasks may now be deleted from Open and Closed Schedules. An administrator must enable this new capability as it may affect a company's compliance policies regarding deleting close history.
The action of submitting tasks has been made clearer to users through addition of a Submit Task button in an effort to prevent accidental submissions.
The option to export all columns from a transactional dashboard has been removed to prevent severe performance problems. Clients who require exporting their entire set of reconciliation data may set up custom reports to do this.
Administrators and Power Users may now set up currency translation calculations in data sets to allow global companies to enter data in local currency and translate into the currency of the parent company for reporting purposes. To support this, rate types and rate data may now be defined and loaded.
Administrators and Power users can now load data into datasets directly across multiple entities. This functionality can also be used to pre load certain columns of the dataset so that form preparer can input only those columns that are necessary.
Users are assigned workflow roles during form template creation, but in some cases, users need the flexibility to reassign workflow actions to a different user in the midst of a close process (i.e. after forms are deployed to data collection periods. To achieve this, SDM leverages the existing ‘Reassign User’ functionality in FCM.
One of the primary use cases of SDM is where a customer loads account balances from any of the various GL systems into their consolidation system which is HFM and requires the details or parts of the sum of that account balance to be collected in SDM. Once collected, the total of the supplemental data needs to match the account balance in HFM before the preparer can submit the data form. To achieve this, SDM provides the ability to validate the supplemental data against the balances in the consolidation system.
You can now upload dimension members to an attribute of type LIST from a csv file while creating dimensions.
For attributes which are referenced by a dimension, you can search for members in the dimension member lookup dialog while on a data collection form.
You can now make user assignments for workflow stages in bulk, by uploading the assignments from a csv file during a form template creation.
When you import data with dates, you can select the format from a designated list of formats. The format remedies the case where Excel changes the date format when files are opened in Excel.

This section includes important information about applying this patch for Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management.
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: If you wish to, take a backup of Canned Reports folders in LCM import-export location (by default, Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export). Applying this patch will overwrite the existing reports with latest ones.
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. Since ARM Dataload no longer requires SOA, the following must be performed.
Oracle Financial Data Quality
Management (FDMEE) should be installed (but not necessarily configured) on all
the boxes that host Financial Close Management managed servers.
If FDMEE has never been installed in the WebLogic domain, please first install
FDMEE 11.1.2.4 following Oracle EPM Installation Guide. Then apply FDMEE
version 11.1.2.4.210 (Patch 23041471).
3.
Before applying this patch, confirm the environment is running properly:
Windows:
Go to Start, then Programs, then Oracle EPM System, then Foundation Services, then epmsystem1, and then EPM System Diagnostic.
Linux:
Run this command:
<Middleware_Home>/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin/validate.sh
All tests should display PASSED.
4. Stop Financial Close Managed Server, Foundation Services Managed Server and SOA managed server.
5. 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.
6. From a command line, change the directory to <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch.
7. To apply the patch, enter the following command on one line:
Windows:
opatch.bat apply
<EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/27479194 -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/27479194 -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.
Update mod_wl_ohs.conf file to increase the HTTP timeout setting. This is required to avoid errors in long-running LCM operations. LCM operations can take considerable time depending on the volume of data in Financial Close Management application.
1. Make a copy of this file for backup: <EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE>\httpConfig\ohs\config\OHS\ohs_component\mod_wl_ohs.conf
2. Edit mod_wl_ohs.conf to add the entry “WLIOTimeoutSecs 7200” under the following items
a. <LocationMatch ^/arm>
b. <LocationMatch ^/fcc>
c. <LocationMatch ^/sdm>
d. <LocationMatch ^/taxop>
e. <LocationMatch ^/tss>
NOTE: If you have not installed Tax Governance, entries for d. and e. may not exist and can be skipped.
Example:
Change
<LocationMatch ^/arm>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WeblogicCluster <server>:<port>
</LocationMatch>
To
<LocationMatch ^/arm>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WeblogicCluster <server>:<port>
WLIOTimeoutSecs 7200
</LocationMatch>
NOTE: This step could be skipped if you are applying this patch on top of 11.1.2.4.200 PSU or later.
Starting in version 11.1.2.4.200, ARM invokes FDMEE RESTful APIs for creating data load definitions or executing data load rules, which depends on json libraries. Starting in version 11.1.2.4.200, ARM also invokes ODI agent remotely in Java, therefore it depends on ODI libraries too. Those libraries need to be added to FCM managed server’s classpath for ARM data load to work.
1. Log into WebLogic admin console.
2. Go to Deployments
3. Click on epm-misc-libraries, and add FinancialClose cluster as its target.
4. Click on epm-aif-odi-libraries, and add FinancialClose cluster as its target.
NOTE: This step could be skipped if you are applying this patch on top of 11.1.2.4.250 PSU.
Archive feature introduced in 11.1.2.4.250 (for Close Manager, Tax Operations and Account Reconciliation Manager) makes use of SharedServices library APIs to make LCM calls. SharedServices library needs to be added to FCM and TAX managed server's classpath for this feature to work.
1. Log into WebLogic admin console.
2. Go to Deployments
3. Click on epm-hss-libraries, and add FinancialClose and TaxManagement cluster as its target.
NOTE: This step could be skipped if you are applying this patch on top of 11.1.2.4.250 PSU.
Archive feature also needs a new log-handler
1. Take a backup of existing file <DOMAIN_HOME>\config\fmwconfig\servers\FinancialClose0\logging.xml
2. Edit the file to add below entry under <log_handlers> XML tag
<log_handler name='epmlcm-handler' class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory' level='TRACE:32'>
<property name='useDefaultAttributes' value='false'/>
<property name='format' value='ODL-Text'/>
<property name='path' value='${domain.home}/servers/${weblogic.Name}/logs/SharedServices_FCM_LCM.log'/>
<property name='maxFileSize' value='1000000'/>
<property name='maxLogSize' value='5000000'/>
<property name='useSourceClassAndMethod' value='true'/>
</log_handler>
3. Add the below entry under <loggers> XML tag
<logger name='oracle.EPMLCM' level='NOTIFICATION' useParentHandlers='false'>
<handler name='epmlcm-handler'/>
</logger>
4. Take a backup of existing file <DOMAIN_HOME>\config\fmwconfig\servers\TaxManagement0\logging.xml
NOTE: If you have not installed Tax Governance, this file may not exist and can be skipped.

NOTE: Make sure there are no errors displayed in the command window after execution of PS4251 script. If there are any, go to the Troubleshooting section below before contacting Oracle Support.
7. Start Financial Close Managed Server.
8. Confirm the environment is running properly after the patch has been applied:
Windows:
Go to Start, then Programs, then Oracle EPM System, then Foundation Services, then epmsystem1, and then EPM System Diagnostic.
Linux:
Run this command: <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin/validate.sh
All tests should display PASSED.
9. Validating Close Manager Configuration:
f. 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.
g. Log on with Close Manager administrator credentials.
h. To validate the Close Manager configuration, click the Validate Close Manager Configuration button.
i. All results should have check marks instead of an X.
10. 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 8700
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.
11. All users should now clear cached files from their browsers.
12. Optionally import latest Canned Reports by running LCM import from Shared Services.
13. If System automated and Event monitoring integrations are not being used, SOA server could be shutdown to save resources.
Run this command to shut down SOA server:
Windows: <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_NAME>/bin/stopManagedWeblogic.cmd <SOA_SERVER_NAME>
Linux: <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_NAME>/bin/stopManagedWeblogic.sh <SOA_SERVER_NAME>
You could also shutdown the server from WLS admin console. Go to Servers -> Control page, select SOA server and click Shutdown
Close Manager
For pre-existing installations which have been tuned for
increased SOA Server utilization, it is possible to reduce the memory
allocation of the SOA Server managed Weblogic server. The memory allocation
settings are specified in the startup script file SOADomainEnv
Windows: <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_NAME>/bin/
setSOADomainEnv.cmd
Linux: <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_NAME>/bin/
setSOADomainEnv.sh
The
JVM heap settings can be modified to:
set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS = -Xms768m -Xmx1200m
Account Reconciliation Manager, Supplemental Data Management
If Close Manager is not being used, the SOA server could
be shut down.
Data Source Connection Pool Tuning
If connection pool Statement
Cache Size values have been increased, they may be decreased to reduce the
per-session JVM memory consumption without impacting performance. The maximum
recommended value is 30 for the data sources: accountreconciliation_datasource,
financialclose_datasource, financialclosecommon_datasource,
taxoperations_datasource, taxsupplementalschedules_datasource
The SOA relateddata sources EDNDataSource, EDNLocalTxDataSource, SOADataSource,
SOALocalTxDataSource can have their statement cache sizes reduced to a maximum
value of 20.
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 (27479194).
If you continue, patch(es) <PreviousPatch#> will be rolled back and the new patch (27479194) will be installed.
If a merge of the new patch (27479194) 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 do either of the below
1. Do not rollback if you see a conflict message for any 11.1.2.3.xxx patch. Contact Oracle Support representative.
2. Roll back the previous patch and apply the new patch (this action might be appropriate if the previous patch was not critical).
3. 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 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:
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
