The user applying the patch should be the user who was set up to install and configure EPM System products. Required user privileges or rights:
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.”
[NOTE TO WRITERS: State whether this patch IS being released on all platforms OR list the supported platforms.
If being released on all platforms, say “Applies to all supported platforms.”

This section includes important information about applying this patch for Oracle Hyperion Strategic Finance.
[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.]
Follow these steps when applying this patch:
1. Uninstall Strategic Finance Client (if present).
2. Install Strategic Finance Client 11.1.2.4.002 by running HSFClient.exe or HSFClient-x64.exe depending on if the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office is being used.
3. Apply OPatch for Strategic Finance 11.1.2.4.002.
<EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is C:\Oracle\Middleware
Before applying this patch, please close all Strategic Finance applications that may be running and stop all Strategic Finance services on the host being patched.
If both the Strategic Finance Client and Server are installed on the same box, when uninstalling Strategic Finance Client, do not select the Delete Common Components option box.
Skip this set of steps if the Strategic Finance server components are not installed on the host being patched.
The following steps for patching are the same for both 32-bit and 64-bit server installs.
1. Copy the server patch file to the <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch directory.
Patch file name:
32-bit OS: hsf_11.1.2.4.002.3057_win32.zip
64-bit OS: hsf_11.1.2.4.002.3057_amd64.zip
2. Unzip the patch file to the <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch directory.
NOTE: Unzipping the patch file will automatically create a subdirectory of the same name.
3. From a command line, change the directory to <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch.
4. To apply the patch, enter the following command on one line:
32-bit OS:
opatch.bat apply <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>\OPatch\hsf_11.1.2.4.002.3057_win32 -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jre <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\jdk160_35
64-bit OS:
opatch.bat apply <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>\OPatch\hsf_11.1.2.4.002.3057_amd64 -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jre <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\jdk160_35
Start all Strategic Finance services.
[NOTE TO WRITERS: IF THIS PATCH INCLUDES CHANGES TO A JAVASCRIPT FILE, YOU NEED TO INCLUDE THE STEP ABOVE AS A FINAL STEP. IF IT DOESN’T, DELETE THIS STEP.]
To roll back a patch:
<EPM_ORACLE_HOME> is C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME> is C:\Oracle\Middleware
Before rolling back this patch, please close all Strategic Finance applications that may be running and stop all Strategic Finance services on the host being rolled back.
Skip this set of steps if the Strategic Finance server is not installed or was not patched on the host.
The following steps for rolling back are the same for both 32-bit and 64-bit server installs.
1. - From a command line, change the directory to <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch.
2. - From the command line window, enter the following command on one line:
opatch.bat rollback –id 20868598 –oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jre <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\jdk160_35
Skip this set of steps if the Strategic Finance client is not installed or was not patched on the host.
1. - Uninstall Oracle Hyperion Strategic Finance Client.
2. - Copy and run the pre-patched, original Strategic Finance client installer from the Strategic Finance server. The client installer can be found in the <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/common/epmstatic/wspace/hsf/Client directory.
Start all Strategic Finance services.
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, 11.1.2.2, and 11.1.2.3/11.1.2.4. change the jdk160_xx directory as follows:
11.1.2.3/11.1.2.4: 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 lsinventory -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_35
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
