The following Patch Set Update (PSU) has been released
for Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management (FDM) Enterprise
Edition.
|
|
|
This PSU download is available from the My
Oracle Support | Patches & Updates section.
 Prequisites
Required
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
Required User
Rights
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:
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.
New
Features / Readme:
Universal
Data Adapter
The Universal Data Adapter enables you to integrate external source
table/view information directly into FDMEE, bypassing the open
interface table. This feature allows the user to easily connect to any
source data where they have access to the underlying database in the
case where a prepackaged adapter is not available, or if the
pre-packaged adapter does not provide the required data. This feature
effectively provides direct integration to any source table or view.
Testing Check
Rule Expressions
Check rules have been enhanced so that you can now test a rule in the
Test Expression tab of the Rule Logic screen and validate conditions
for a combination of dimensions. When a test check rule is submitted,
you can display errors that were found in the rule being tested.
Loading Exchange
Rates to Financial Management
You can now load exchange rates from EBS and Peoplesoft to Hyperion
Financial Management.
Extracting Financial Management Journals
Source parameter and source filters have been enhanced to extract the
type of journal.
Purge Scripts
FDMEE now supports system processes that enable you to maintain and
cleanup all runtime artifacts, such as the Process tables, Staging
tables or Inbox / Outbox folders. Often these tables and folders
contain vast amounts of data, which you may no longer need. With the
Purge Script feature, you can purge standard tables and folder by
scheduling system processes and executing them.
Map Monitor
Reports
Two new Map Monitor reports have been added to the Audit Reports report
group: Map Monitor for Location and Map Monitor for User. Map monitor
reports show changes made to the data load mapping rules using any of
the methods data load mappings UI, Excel template imports, text file
imports, and Lifecycle Management imports.
The Map Monitor reports do not capture historical data earlier than
release 11.1.2.4.100. Map Monitor reports are enabled only if the
Enable Map Audit is set to “Yes” in System Settings.
