Oracle Account Reconciliation Cloud (ARCS) – December 2017 Updates

The following announcements and considerations are outlined in the upcoming Oracle Account Reconciliation Cloud (ARCS) update:

Oracle Account Reconciliation Cloud (ARCS)
December 2017

Monthly Update Schedule:

Oracle will begin applying the latest updates to EPM Cloud Test environments starting at 14:00 UTC-7 (2:00pm Pacific Time) Friday, December 1, 2017 and to Production environments on Friday, December 15, 2017, also starting at 14:00 UTC-7. The updates will be applied to your EPM Cloud environments during the first subsequent Daily Maintenance.

NOTE: Account Reconciliation Cloud no longer supports migration of snapshots from the latest service version to an earlier service version (for example, when moving snapshots between test and production pods during the window when test is upgraded before production.)  Migration between the same versions will still be supported.  Some objects, such as Profiles, may still be moved from the latest to an earlier version outside of migration snapshots by exporting them from the latest service version and importing them into the earlier version.

New Features:
  • Migrating From On-Premise Account Reconciliation Manager to Account Reconciliation Cloud 
  • New EPM Getting Started Guides

Removal of Support:

  • Enhanced User Experience in Reconciliation Compliance - As of early calendar year, 2018, the old method of accessing the Reconciliation List, Transactions List, and Profiles List will no longer be available. Enhancements to the Reconciliation Compliance user interface that were introduced several months ago provided a more intuitive and improved user experience, including Reconciliation, Transaction and Profile List Views, Manage Reports, and common use of a filter bar across multiple EPM Cloud services. These changes provide you with quick, easy navigation.

Defects Fixed:

  • 27024139 - Under certain circumstances, processing of reconciliations errored out with time limit exceeded
Considerations:
  • When using EPM Automate, log out and log in again after importing a Financial Close Management (FCM) snapshot to refresh the icons on the Home page.
  • You may receive inaccurate messages from Navigator if pop-up blockers are enabled.  Disable pop-up blockers in your browser to avoid this.
  • In the Academy, some pages and icons may appear different in the video and the Cloud service.

Frequently Asked Questions About EPM Cloud Data Size

Thank you to Vinay Gupta for providing information about this FAQ!

  When it comes to EPM Cloud Data Size, have you ever asked yourself any of the following questions?
  • How much data is being used by a service instance?
  • How do I interpret the data usage report?
  • How is the data size calculated for a service instance?
  • What is the limit for data size for a service instance?
How much data is being used by a service instance?

To see how much data is being used by your EPM Cloud service instance:

  1. Click the service instance name in the MyServices portal
  2. Click on Business Metrics
  3. Select Size of Data from the drop-down menu

 

How do I interpret the data usage report?

The total size of data used by your EPM Cloud service instance is displayed in GB, in the following formats:

  • Trend in a graph format
  • Trend in a tabular format
  • Most recent value
How is the data size calculated for a service instance?

The total size of data used by your EPM Cloud service instance is the sum of the following:

  • Application data stored in Essbase
  • Artifact Snapshot created by the daily maintenance window
  • All snapshots that you have exported via EPM Automate or the Migration user interface
  • All snapshots that you have uploaded via EPM Automate or the Migration user interface
  • All data files that you have uploaded via EPM Automate or the FDMEE user interface
What is the limit for data size for a service instance?

The total size of data used by your EPM Cloud service instance cannot exceed 150 GB, per contract.

If the total size is over 150 GB, your service will keep working, but you may be notified by Oracle to reduce the data size.

Monthly Update Schedule:

Oracle will apply the latest updates to your test environment on, November 3, 2017 and to your production environment on Friday, November 17, 2017. The update will be applied during your normal daily maintenance window.

NOTE: You can migrate maintenance snapshots from the current version of the service instance to the preceding version or to the next version. For example, snapshots from 17.08 can be imported into 17.07 and 17.09 service instances. Migration between the same versions is always supported.

New Features:

  • Limits on Dimension Members
