 About This Patch

This Readme file describes the defects fixed in this patch and the requirements and instructions for applying this patch.

Caution: You are urged to carefully read and understand the following requirements. Failure to comply may result in applying a patch that can cause your application to malfunction, including interruption of service and/or loss of data. Before installing or applying this patch:

Verify that your system configuration (product version, patch level, and platform) exactly matches what is specified in the Readme.

Patch Type

This is a patch set update (PSU).

Supported Paths to This Patch

You can apply this patch to Release 11.1.2.4.00 and later.

Prerequisites

Microsoft Patch

Microsoft has identified a security issue that could compromise Windows-based systems. Before installing this patch, verify that the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed on the computer is current. You may search and download the latest Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package from:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/default.aspx

IMPORTANT: Visual C++ 2005 is included and automatically installed in EPM versions 11.1.2.2 and newer. Installing this patch is only required if you are installing EPM versions earlier than 11.1.2.2.

Required User Rights

Windows:

Use the user account that has Local administrator rights and was set up for installation and configuration. This user is an administrator and is the same for all EPM System products. 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.”

UNIX/Linux:

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.

Supported Platforms

This release applies to all supported platforms.

Supported Languages

This patch supports all languages of the base release.

Release 11.1.2.4.000 Patch Set Update (PSU): 11.1.2.4.220 New Features

See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition Administrator's Guide. For new features relating to installation, architecture, and deployment changes in this release, see: "New Features" in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Readme.

Import and Export of Mapping Scripts in Text Mapping Files

FDMEE now supports the export and import of mapping scripts in a text file. This support includes both Jython and SQL scripts. The scripts are enclosed in a <!SCRIPT> tag.

Registering Duplicate Target Application Names

FDMEE now enables you to register target applications with the same name. This may be the case where a customer has multiple service environments and the application name is the same in each environment, or the application names are identical in development and production environments. This feature enables you to add a prefix to the application name when registering the application so that it can be registered successfully in FDMEE and be identified correctly in the list of target applications.

Target applications with prefixes are not backward compatible, and cannot be migrated to an 11.1.2.4.210 or earlier release. Only a target application without a prefix name can be migrated to an earlier release.

For detailed information, see "Reusing Target Application Names Multiple Times" in the Oracleฎ Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition Administrator's Guide.

Support Member Names with a Comma When Exporting to Planning

When export to Planning, you can now export a dimension member name that contains a comma (,).  A new Member name may contain comma setting has been added to Target options, which enables the feature.

Support for REST APIs

REST API can be used now in FDMEE to execute various jobs that run data load rules, batches, scripts, reports, and the import and export of mapping rules.

For detailed information, see "Appendix B: FDMEE Rest APIs" in the Oracleฎ Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition Administrator's Guide.

Known Issues in This Patch

The following issues are the noteworthy known issues of this patch.

26760093 – A Trial Balance Report with amounts larger than 2,147,483,647 (2.1B), which is the JAVA size limit for an integer data type, does not run properly.

26722746 -- Map Monitor Audit Report should show the report header even when there are no records to display.

26629495 -- Unable to import data load mapping for all dimensions when a special character is used.

26614616 -- Newly created import formats and locations are not visible in the FDMEE user interface when the source system name and target application name are the same.

26608102 -- File import to FDMEE fails immediately when the data load file name is empty on the Source Option tab.

26433369 -- FDMEE is referencing the dimension alias instead of the dimension name, and the validation fails.

26259489 -- Source period mappings for JD Edwards do not display when using LifeCycle Management.

26202259 -- Account dimension member names that use a comma (,) cause the Check Report to fail. The workaround is to skip members that have a comma, set all other dimensions to the correct value, and only then add back the comma containing member, enclosed in double quotes.

25980163 -- Wrap button is not wrapping column text.

25883872 -- Unable to load data after patching to 11.1.2.4.210 and mapping the View dimension to a source column that can be null. The workaround is to map the View dimension to a source column that does not have null values.

25701874 -- Unable to use the asterisk (*) wildcard for a target member search. The workaround when using a Hyperion Financial Management application is to type Sal without using the asterisk. The system finds Salary or Sales.
 

Applying This Patch

This section includes important information about applying this patch for Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management Enterprise Edition.

Prerequisite Patches

The following patches must be installed before installing this release:

        Hyperion Financial Management 11.1.2.4.200 or higher (it is recommended that you are running Hyperion Financial Management 11.1.2.4.206)

        Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.4.003 or higher (required to use the All Data Type data loads feature in FDMEE)
 

Data Relationship Management with FDMEE

To integrate Data Relationship Management with FDMEE (optional):

Apply Hyperion Data Relationship Management Release 11.1.2.4.340 Patch Number 23041471. Refer to the readme for patch 23012151 for install instructions.

The FDMEE application template is installed as part of the Data Relationship Management installation. You use the template to configure the Data Relationship Management metadata to enable integration with Oracle FDMEE.

FDMEE Release Instructions

To apply the FDMEE release:

1.    Stop the FDMEE service.

2.    Change the directory to: %EPM_ORACLE_HOME%\OPatch

(Replace the values for EPM_ORACLE_HOME for your environment). For example, specify:

c:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem11R1\opatch

Run the opatch as follows (replace the values for EPM_ORACLE_HOME, MW_HOME and EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE for your environment):

opatch apply 25312033  -oh %EPM_ORACLE_HOME% -jre %MW_HOME%\jdk160_35

For example, for Windows enter:

opatch.bat apply C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\OPatch\25312033-oh C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1 -jre C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_35
 
For LINUX/UNIX, enter:

./opatch apply /u01/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/OPatch/25312033 -oh /u01/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1 -jdk /u01/Oracle/Middleware/jdk160_35 -invPtrLoc /u01/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/oraInst.loc

All database schema changes and ODI Scenario changes are updated during the FDMEE Server startup. Review the FDMEE server log (for example, aif-odi-install.log) after a successful startup. Errors due to objects (tables, indexes) already existing can be ignored. This happens when you apply the patch more than once.

3.    Start the FDMEE service.

4.    Restart the HTTP server.

 

Additional Installation Instructions

3.    If your deployment is a distributed environment where Hyperion Financial Management and Planning are on different servers than FDMEE, copy the following jar files:

Copy files from the Hyperion Financial Management server on EPM_ORACLE_HOME\common\hfm\11.1.2.0\lib to the same directory on the FDMEE server.

Copy files from the Planning server on the EPM_ORACLE_HOME\common\planning\11.1.2.0\lib to same directory on the FDMEE server.
 

Rolling Back This Patch

To roll back a patch:

1.    Stop the FDMEE service.

2.    From a command line, change the directory to <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch (by default, Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/OPatch).

3.    To roll back the patch, enter the following command on one line:

Windows:

opatch.bat rollback -id <PATCH ID> -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29

NOTE: The default for <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is C:/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1. The default for <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is C:/Oracle/Middleware.

UNIX/LINUX:

./opatch rollback -id <PATCH ID> -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> /jdk160_29 -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.

4.    Import the ODI Scenario from:

C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\FinancialDataQuality\odi\11.1.2.4.00\workrep

Troubleshooting FAQs

Why do I get the following patch conflict error message when running OPatch?

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. 

Why do I get the OUI-67078 warning message when applying OPatch?

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.

How can I find out which releases and patches of EPM System products are installed in a deployment?

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_29

UNIX/Linux:

./opatch lsinventory -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29 –invPtrLoc <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/oraInst.loc

I applied the patch successfully but I don’t see the changes from the patch in the product. What should I do?

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
