Automate version creation and renaming in Oracle EPM with Groovy scripting!

 

Groovy scripting, which enables automation, dynamic validation, and metadata updates.

Oracle Cloud Application Update Readiness!

In this blog lets explore the Oracle Cloud Application Update Readiness. It provides comprehensive information on the latest updates for Oracle Cloud Applications. Here are the key components explained in detail:

1. Feature Listing Report

Oracle publishes a Feature Listing Report that is updated monthly. This report includes:

• New Features: Details about the latest features available in Oracle Cloud Applications.
• Implementation Dates: Information on when these new features will be available or become mandatory.
• Optional Features: A timeline of when optional features will be automatically enabled if not already activated by the user.

All about During daily maintenance!!!

During daily maintenance in Oracle EPM Cloud, the system creates a maintenance snapshot, applies patches, adjusts configurations, and analyzes activities to generate an Activity Report. The environment is then rebooted, with initial access limited to Service Administrators. Certain operations are restricted during this period, especially for processes like Planning and Financial Consolidation. Maintenance usually starts between 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. local time and a 15-minute notice is given before maintenance begins. The process typically takes less than an hour.

As part of the new Redwood experience, we are introducing the Dynamic Tabs feature only within the Redwood theme in the 21.02 update.

Some use case examples: view drill through from a form in a new temporary tab; view a form in design mode; open Web ad hoc from a form or dashboard; open forms from right-click menus; open dimensions on the fly to view how members are calculated.
