Patch Set Update: DATA RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT 11.1.2.4.344

Patch Set Update (PSU) for Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management 11.1.2.4.x has been released.

This PSU is available from the My Oracle Support | Patches & Updates section.

Oracle Hyperion DRM PSU 11.1.2.4.344
Patch 25653800

This Patch Set Update (PSU) requires a full installation. This patch can be installed on a new machine or replace an existing installation.

New Features in this Release:

Two new System Preferences are available (ExternalShareInfo, ExternalStats) to allow an administrator to select a group for each of the two system categories (Stats and Shared Info) so that these can be managed via Shared Services groups (or with an external directory connected to Shared Services).  Internal users can still be added to or removed from those categories manually (in a Mixed configuration), and these will not be touched by the CUP synchronization process. 

PreRequisites:

  • New User Privileges for Oracle Repository
    • When upgrading from a Data Relationship Management release prior to 11.1.2.4.330, additional database privileges are required to use release 11.1.2.4.344 with an Oracle repository.  Before running the Apply Updates process on the repository, the existing schema owner must be granted two additional privileges:
      GRANT CREATE TYPE, CREATE SEQUENCE TO <user>;

      This step is not required when upgrading from release 11.1.2.4.330 or later or when creating a new Oracle repository since these privileges will be automatically applied to the new user.  This step is also not required when using a SQL Server repository.
  • Required User Rights - refer to the readme
  • Memory Configuration - To ensure proper performance, it is strongly recommended that Windows pagefile size on the DRM server be at least 1.1 times system memory with growth allowed up to 1.5 times system memory.  When system memory is large (e.g. 64 GB and higher) the pagefile can be maintained at 1.1 times system memory.  Pagefile sizes smaller than this can lead to serious performance and functional issues.
  • Enterprise Performance Management Architect Patch - In order to successfully integrate Data Relationship Management and Enterprise Performance Management Architect, the following patch must be applied:  Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Architect, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.2.4.000 Patch Set Exception (PSE) 22078964.

Documentation Updates

Refer to the Oracle Data Relationship Management Addendum on the Help Center for the latest updates to the documentation.

If this patch will replace an existing 11.1.2.4.x installation, related components such as Hyperion Foundation Services are not affected.  However, upgrading from a release prior to 11.1.2.4.x will require an upgrade of Foundation Services to 11.1.2.4.

The Readme file should be reviewed prior to proceeding with this PSU implementation for important information that includes a full list of the defects fixed, along with additional support information, prerequisites and details for applying patch.

It is important to ensure that the requirements and support paths to this patch are met as outlined within the Readme file. The Readme file is available from the Patches & Updates download screen.

RECOMMENDATION:

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.

After a patch is applied 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.
