RECOMMENDATIONS:
Oracle recommends using the same version of all Essbase portfolio products (Essbase, Essbase Administration Services, Hyperion Provider Services, and Essbase Studio) and components (server, client, runtime client, API, and JAPI). When only some Essbase portfolio products are included in a patch release, the last released versions of the products that are not included in the patch are supported.
Essbase Administration Services 11.1.2.4.023, Provider Services 11.1.2.4.023, and Essbase Studio 11.1.2.4.016 are supported for use with Essbase 11.1.2.4.023.
Recommendation: After you apply a patch within the same release codeline, Oracle recommends as a best practice that you export the data from your databases, clear the data from the databases, and then reload the data.

What are Rolling Forecasts and How to Use Them in Enterprise Planning and Budgeting?
What is rolling forecast? How can you use it in Enterprise Planning and Budgeting?
- Rolling Forecast is a popular concept to facilitate continual planning vs. distinct planning as in Annual Plans or a regular Forecast.
- In a Rolling Forecast companies typically plan for 12, 18 months or a rolling 4,8 Quarters. The Forecast goes beyond the current year.
- Forecast the entirety of the Current Year plus a portion of the following year.
- Less focus on the “YearTotal” and more on the Rolling Forecast Range.
- Many companies want to run both process but eventually would like to move to rolling forecast
Traditional Budgeting:
- Calendar-based (Annual, Quarters etc.)
- Fixed targets (Sales/Profit, other KPIs)
- Resource allocations are rigid
- Manual account based and often connected to accounting cycles
Rolling Forecast:
- Event based and real-time adjustment to calendar forecasts
- Dynamic adjustments to targets based on external/internal events in business
- Forecasts and re-allocation of resources based on dynamic targets
- Driver based on assumptions, and connected to business operations
Thank you to Muthu Ranganathan, Director, Product Management, for information on this topic.
