The Hyperion Product Management recently advised the release of Patch Set Updates (PSU) for Oracle Hyperion Essbase 11.1.2.4.x.

These PSU downloads are available from the  My Oracle Support > Patches & Updates section.

Hyperion Essbase Server 11.1.2.4.031

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Caution: 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 11.1.2.4.031, Provider Services 11.1.2.4.031, and Essbase Studio 11.1.2.4.031 are supported for use with Essbase 11.1.2.4.031.

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.

README FILE:
Refer to the Readme files prior to proceeding with these PSU implementations for important information that includes the supported paths per component, along with a full list of the defects fixed, additional support information, prerequisites, details for applying patch and troubleshooting FAQ's.

It is important to ensure that the requirements and support paths to this patch are met as outlined within the Readme file.

Supported Versions of Oracle RDB for Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) / Hyperion 11.1.2.4.X

Review the document below for information on Oracle RDB version that is supported with EPM / Hyperion 11.1.2.4.x. Supported Versions of Oracle RDB for EPM/Hyperion 11.1.2.4.X (Doc ID 2523475.1)

 

According to the document:

  • Oracle DB version 12.2.0.2 was rebranded as Oracle DB version 18 and is certified with 11.1.2.4.x releases of EPM.
  • DB version 12.2 was rebranded as Oracle DB version 19 and it, too, is certified with 11.1.2.4.x releases of EPM.

For more information on the renumbering, refer to the following::

In the following paragraph - "Beginning with Release 12.2: New releases will be annual and the version will be the last two digits of the release year. The release originally planned as 12.2.0.2 was released as 18, and the release originally planned as 12.2.0.3 will be release 19. For Lifetime Support purposes, Releases 18 and 19 will be under the 12.2 umbrella. Release 19 will be the last release ("long term support" release) for 12.2. Instead of Patch Sets, Patch Set Updates, and Database Bundle Patches, the new releases will be maintained with Updates and Revisions, so Patch Sets will no longer be shown in the roadmap for 12.2 and later."
