The Finit Solutions Series
Release 11.1.2.3 Introduction
11.1.2.3 Introduction
Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management release
11.1.2.3 was released in April 2013 and represents the fourth
release for the 11.1.2.x platform.
Release 11.1.2.0 was released in April 2010

The 11.1.2.3 release included a combination of new functionality

as well as bug fixes.
- 10 -
11.1.2.3 Oracle Support

Premier Support for Oracle Hyperion EPM release 11.1.2.3 expires
in April 2015. The April 2015 end date for 11.1.2.3 is the same for
all 11.1.2.x products.
Customers have the option of purchasing extended support for all
versions on 11.1.2.x and that additional payment provides product
development support coverage until April 2018.
It is expected that Oracle will extend premier support from April
2015 to April 2017 but this has not been finalized yet.
Oracles Lifetime Support Policy can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-supportapplications-069216.pdf

Hyperion FDM and FDM

Enterprise Edition Overview
FDM EE - Overview
Beginning with release 11.1.2.3, Oracle has combined Financial
Data Quality Management FDM with ERP Integrator ERPi to
create FDM Enterprise Edition or FDM EE.
In release 11.1.2.3, two products exist:
FDM traditional FDM
FDM EE rebranded ERPi with newly added FDM functionality
Currently, a conversion tool from FDM to FDM EE is not provided by Oracle.
It is our understanding that version 11.1.2.3 will be the terminal

release of FDM and starting with the next version release expected
in April 2014 (11.1.2.4?) only FDM EE will be available.
- 13 -
FDM EE Plan For Release

FDM EE is a rewrite of FDM, with the goal being to keep nearly all
functionality of FDM. How it will be done is changing:
Will be integrated in the Workspace like ERPi
Fully utilize Shared Services (compared to partial now in FDM)
Scripting is moving from VBScript to Jython (potential for a few remaining
VBScript items)
Reports will be in BI Publisher and not Active Reports
Batch Processing will be different (ODI Batch and shell scripts)
No Hyperion Enterprise or Tax integration
The product business case is that FDM EE will combine the direct
sourcing and drill through to the source that ERPi provides while
still providing users the core functionality (workflow, controls,
audit) that they have grown to love with FDM.
- 14 -
FDM EE Plan For Release

Oracle is planning a Phased release of FDM EE in version 11.1.2.3
with increased and added functionality in each release. The
releases will all be as patch set updates (PSU) to FDM EE version
11.1.2.3.
Our understanding is that ERPi in version 11.1.2.2 will not receive the FDMlike functionality through PSUs.
Our understanding of the approximate targeted release schedule is

the following:
GA Released April 2013
PSU1 Released July 2013
PSU2 Released 2- 3 months after PSU1 (September or October 2013)
- 15 -
FDM EE Plan For Release GA

What is not included in FDM EE 11.1.2.3 GA:
No Scripting Functionality for any script types

No Intersection Check with HFM Adapter
No Excel Import Functionality (FDM Journals or Multi-Load)
No Batch Processing
As a result, the GA release only contains basic functionality.

It should be sufficient for simpler integrations (i.e. you are connecting to EBS
(1 ledger) and have simple mapping, validations and no scripting needs).
The Workflow interface will look very similar with the Fish, but a lot of the
core functionality will be missing.
- 16 -
FDM EE Plan For Release PSU1

What is included in FDM EE PSU 1:
Event, Import Format and Mapping scripts

Excel Import (most likely FDM journals)
Full HFM Adapter as we know it in FDM currently
Clear and Agg Calc Scripts for Planning/Essbase
Batch Loader Functionality
This will represent the first release for more complex integrations
With PSU 1, we can use simple import scripts that we attach to import
formats.
HFM Intersection Check is key as this is very important for most traditional
FDM clients.
Need more information about the Excel import but that is key as well if it
includes FDM Journal functionality.
- 17 -
FDM EE Plan For Release PSU2

What is expected to be added in FDM EE PSU 2:
Ability to integrate FDM mapping from DRM (no details yet on specific
functionality)
SOX Certification
Data Synch between all EPM apps
There will be source adapters for all Hyperion EPM Target systems
This is a great feature as it required custom scripts in the past.
Multi-Load file
With PSU 2, we should be back to what we currently know as FDM

with some added functionality.
- 18 -
FDM / FDM EE Summary

In Summary, it is our understanding that traditional FDM is being
replaced with FDM EE and that FDM EE will be the go-forward data
quality integration product.
Existing FDM customers will more than likely need to wait until PSU
1 at a minimum to get similar functionality.
It is our understanding that 11.1.2.3 is the terminal release of FDM
and that existing FDM customers that upgrade to a future release
beyond 11.1.2.3 will need to convert to FDM EE. Customers
running version 11.1.2.3 can use either FDM or FDM EE.
- 19 -
New Features & Functionality in

the Financial Close Suite
Introduction to Financial Close Suite

Oracle includes the following products in the Financial Close suite:
Hyperion Financial Management (HFM)

Financial Data Quality Management (FDM)
Financial Close Management (FCM)
Account Reconciliation Module (ARM)
Disclosure Management
Oracle Financial Management Analytics (OFMA)

Overall, release 11.1.2.3 in the Financial Close Suite is a minor

release compared to the changes included in 11.1.2.2 which was a
major release.
- 21 -
HFM Changes in 11.1.2.3

On Demand Rules and the ability to run them from
Web Forms and Data Grids
This follows a similar concept to Hyperion Planning.
On Demand rules are a part of the Sub Calculate subroutine and are prefixed in the rules file (i.e.
OnDemand_RFValidation).
You can specify the On Demand rules in the form / grid
definition.
The concept is to be able to quickly run a calculation instead
of all rules.
More flexibility with display of Web Forms / Data

Grids.
Dimension order can be specified for POV.
Certain members can be excluded.
Show / hide dimensions.
- 22 -

The vertical navigation bar remembers how you last left
it. It will remember you expanded Application tasks and
minimized Favorites.
Administrators can disable modules from showing up

for anyone if they are not used.
- 23 -

Metadata Load Auditing is now included.
This adds more logging features for those using Classic metadata.
You can see log information of what changed
User defined attributes can now accept up to 256 characters (up from 80)
New OpenCellTextUnit rule
Can be used to retrieve cell text for multiple intersections (similar to OpenDataUnit).
New Security Roles

View Task Audit lets a non administrator view the Task Audit screen
View Data Audit lets a non administrator view the Data Audit screen.
- 24 -

Can assign a group to a reconciliation (with members existing in the group). The group exists as
a Native group in Shared services.
A user can request a workflow be reassigned to another user.
Improved scheduling of Data Loads

Can be scheduled with any scheduler tool.
Status can be monitored in ARM
Improvements to Auto Reconciliations (5 new methods added)
Balance is zero & no activity exists

Balance is within a range (based on prior reconciliation amount)
Balance is within range and no activity (based on prior reconciliation amount)
No Activity (based on prior reconciliation amount)
Balance match (# tolerance) less or equal to a tolerance amount.
- 26 -
Other Financial Close Products

Disclosure Management Changes
Very minor changes and nothing significant in our minds.
Oracle Financial Management Analytics (OFMA)
No changes as an 11.1.2.3 version has not been released yet.
Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision
Was released in Q1 2013 before 11.1.2.3
Separately licensed product that is used for the tax provision calculation
process.
Integrated into the Workspace and with HFM.
- 27 -

the Planning Suite
Introduction to Planning Suite

We included the following products in the Planning suite:
Hyperion Essbase
Core Hyperion Planning
Hyperion Planning Modules:
WorkForce Planning
Capital Asset
Project Financial Planning
Industry specific: Public Sector, Bank Balance Sheet
Overall, release 11.1.2.3 in the Planning Suite is a minor release.
- 29 -
Essbase Changes in 11.1.2.3

Essbase had some minor changes in 11.1.2.3. A few key items are
the following:
11.1.2.3 is the first release where they removed the Essbase Excel Add-In.
This was expected once Smart View was updated to include all Essbase Excel
Add-in functionality.
Using Runtime Substitution variables in Calculation Scripts.
@XREF function, which references and pulls data from another Essbase
source, has received some performance improvements.
7 New BSO functions were created.
3 new Essbase configuration settings were created to provide additional
optimization capabilities.
A few other minor additional items were included.
- 30 -
Planning Changes in 11.1.2.3

With 11.1.2.3, you can now use Essbase ASO databases as a Plan
Type.
Up to this point, BSO was the only option.

You can write data to an ASO Planning database at Level 0.
EPMA is not set up yet to work with ASO outlines.
This is a very interesting and exciting development. We think it will give
more options for large applications and performance.
Can create a member in a business rule on the fly if a member

does not exist.
Metadata Improvements
Enhancements were made to the Outline Utility loader by adding more
command line parameters.
Smart View enhancements for metadata (discussed later)
- 31 -
Planning Changes in 11.1.2.3

Each plan type can now define and manage different dimension
hierarchies.
New task lists option exists to copy Version (copy data, text,
documents and supporting detail) from a source to a target.
New task lists option exists for Job Console to view current jobs by
type and status.
New preferences exist to better display member names and
aliases.
Diagnostic logging can be enabled when business rules are
launched.
- 32 -
Planning Modules Changes in 11.1.2.3

Project planning received some nice additional improvements for
what-if functionality, revenue planning, project performance
management.
Workforce and Capital Asset Planning modules received some of
the recent functionality changes that core Planning and Project
Planning received in 11.1.2.2. This represented the large majority
of new features and functionality.
- 33 -

the Other EPM Products
Introduction to Other EPM Products

Weve grouped the following products into the other bucket:
Smart View for Office

Financial Reporting
Shared Services
Lifecycle Management (LCM)

- 36 -
Smart View Changes in 11.1.2.2.3xx

Financial Reporting integration to Smart View via Word improved
with the addition of a new item called Office Table.
This appears to be a better import of a report into Word as opposed to the
current process which is more import of an image. This will import and then
have it be cells that can be refreshed.
Better copying of Smart View functions from Excel to Word or

PowerPoint.
Support for direct access to OBI EE 11.1.1.7.
Smart View is being positioned as the strategic Office tool for EPM and BI.
- 37 -

- 45 -
Server Technical Certification

Windows Server is still the only server operating system supported
for all Oracle Hyperion EPM products.
Windows Server 2003 (SP2/R2) and 2008 (SP2/R2) are supported in 32 bit /
64 bit modes. Server 2012 is not currently supported.
Solaris, AIX, Red Hat, Oracle Linux and SLES have support for selected EPM
products (Planning, Essbase, etc..).
Oracles 11.1.2.3 product certification can be found here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bifoundation/hyperion-supported-platforms-085957.html
- 46 -
Expected Future Support with 11.1.2.3

Currently, version 11.1.2.3 does not include third party support for
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Internet Explorer 10, Office
2013, SQL Server 2012 RDBMS and Oracle 12c RDBMS.
Based on our understanding, Oracle will release two separate
patches to 11.1.2.3 to provide support on these items:
Smart View will receive a PSU that will provide compatibility and support for
Office 2013. Our understanding is this will be targeted for July or August
2013.
The EPM application will receive a PSU that will provide the remaining third
party compatibility and support for IE 10, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8,
SQL Server 2012 RDBMS and Oracle 12c RDBMS. Our understanding is this
will be targeted for December 2013 or January 2014.
Chrome and Safari are still unsupported browser clients and it is

expected they will not receive support in this release.
- 47 -
EPM Product Support

Overall, Oracles product strategy largely does not support Mixed
Mode versioning of products. You cannot run version 11.1.2.3
HFM with 11.1.2.2 Foundation (Shared Services) or Financial
Reporting. Likewise, you cant run 11.1.2.3 Foundation against
11.1.2.2 Planning.
This means that all products in your environment have to be on the same
version (11.1.2.3 Foundation, 11.1.2.3 HFM, 11.1.2.3 Planning).
The one exception to this rule is Smart View. You can run 11.1.2.3
Smart View against prior releases of EPM applications. Smart View
11.1.2.3 can run against the following:
Essbase / Planning: 11.1.2.x, 11.1.1.4, 11.1.1.3 (Essbase with PSU 500)
HFM: 11.1.2.x, 11.1.1.4, 11.1.1.3
New in 11.1.2.3 Smart View: Support against 9.3.3 apps was removed.
- 48 -
Install/Config Changes
All files are available from the standard Oracle Software Delivery
Cloud (http://edelivery.oracle.com)
No major changes from 11.1.2.2
- 49 -
The client installers for Windows now includes several additional
products including:
EPMA (File Generator utility)

Strategic Finance Client
Interactive Reporting
SQR Production
Reporting
Essbase Excel Addin

no longer included
- 50 -
FDM EE depends on ODI this is automatically installed into the
same Java Virtual Machine
Rapid deployment process enhancements:

Simple wizard process with only a couple of screens of questions.
Automatically provisions an entire environment including an Oracle DB
Rapid deployments for HFM, Essbase, and Planning are available.
- 51 -
All of the Oracle Hyperion EPM related services are prefaced with
Oracle so they all appear in the same location
Instance name
included as well
(important for
vertical scaling)
- 52 -
Lock Registry feature to reduce potential errors during
installation across servers.
Ability to remove an EPM Oracle Hyperion component from an
existing installation
You could remove just HFM from an existing installation of HFM, Planning,
Essbase, etc.
Vertical scaling
For improved utilization of java virtual machines (JVMs) and expansion of
JVM heap memory consumption.
Not available for HFM, FCM, ARM, or EPMA Dimension Server
- 53 -
Install / Config Efficiency Enhancements

EPM Installation utility now includes automatic installations for
Oracle DB clients
- 54 -

FCM/ARM
Increased Stuck Thread Max Time
Increased data source connection pool sizes to 150
Now supports SOA clusters
Oracle HTTP Server

Supports a shared drive for the
configuration
One set of configuration files when
working in a system setup to support
high availability
- 55 -

One pass configuration screen for databases
- 56 -
11.1.2.3 Upgrade
Considerations
Upgrade Options
You have two installation options for 11.1.2.3:
New Installation: installing version 11.1.2.3 onto a new server.
Maintenance Release: install version 11.1.2.3 on top of an existing
installation of 11.1.2.1 or 11.1.2.2.
Overall, the large majority of clients choose to upgrade onto new

server hardware. In this scenario, 11.1.2.3 would be installed on
the new hardware and then applications can be migrated and
tested while the existing environment operates.
An in-place upgrade is possible (upgrading onto an existing server
environment), but most clients do not choose this because it
requires an extended system downtime where the existing servers
cannot be accessed. An in-place upgrade is also more risky in case
something goes wrong in the shortened time frame.
- 58 -
Supported Upgrade Paths

You can upgrade your applications either using system schema
based conversion utilities or manually by extracting application
objects and importing them into 11.1.2.3.
Direct upgrade paths exist from 11.1.1.4 and 11.1.2.x.
Removed 9.3.3 and 11.1.1.3 as options for existing Hyperion
versions you can run schema upgrades from.
Clients on 9.3.3 or 11.1.1.0 11.1.1.3 will need to do an interim

step of first upgrading to 11.1.2.2 or 11.1.1.4 before then
upgrading to 11.1.2.3.
- 59 -
Version Decision Tree

Are you an existing FDM user?
Yes - Would recommend upgrading to version 11.1.2.3 to install FDM and
FDM EE. With 11.1.2.3 you would not have to convert to FDM EE but you
would in future releases.
No, but plan to use FDM - Implement 11.1.2.3 to have both FDM and FDM
EE and choose based on needs and FDM EE readiness.
No N/A to your version decision
Will your company roll out Windows 8 or IE 10 in the next 1 3

years?
Yes Go with version 11.1.2.3 to get PSU later this year with this support.
No N/A to your version decision and can use either 11.1.2.2 or 11.1.2.3.
- 60 -
Version Decision Tree Cont.

Do you want to use Windows Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 and /
or Oracle 12c RDBMS?
Yes Go with 11.1.2.3. You will need to wait to begin your upgrade until
after the PSU is released to support these items.
Do you own or plan to own Financial Close Management (FCM) for

use with either FCM or Account Reconciliation Module (ARM)?
Yes Go with version 11.1.2.3 to get some additional functionality in ARM.
