Wow, that is fun!
And onto other news, the Known Issues in this patch :(
| 25264060 -- On the Source Mapping screen in Period Mapping, the Source Application dropdown does not show EPMA applications when the source is EPM. | ||
| 25261166 -- Process Details shows an incorrect timestamp when running the import task. | ||
| 25213479 -- In LifeCycle Management, the concatenation character for an import format is imported as "Y" INSTEAD OF "_". | ||
| 25204666 -- Check Report returns “LookUp Error” for every rule when the amount format is set to European in Hyperion Financial Management. For example, when the decimal separator is a comma (,) and thousands separator is a decimal/point (.). | ||
| 25205450 -- Removing the timeout period of an open batch rule run in parallel mode causes a null point exception error (NPE). | ||
| Workaround: If you need to change the timeout period for an open batch rule run in parallel mode, first change it to serial mode and then save the change. | ||
| 25176762 -- Data load to hybrid Planning application fails when the load method to the on-premise application is SQL. | ||
| Workaround: In a Hybrid deployment, SQL is not a valid load method. | ||
| 25172218 -- Multi-period load Check Reports fail. When run separately; they are successful. | ||
| Workaround: A Check Report runs for a single period whether it passes or fails. When run for multi-period loads, they all run if they all pass. If one fails, the subsequent check reports do not run. | ||
| 25165162 -- Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud (FCCS) application artifacts show under the Application\data folder for Planning applications. | ||
| 24827903 -- FDMEE extracts duplicate values from Planning when the data load is for multiple years. | ||
| 24697455 -- Adding a global mapping in FDMEE returns an ADF_FACES-60097 error. | ||
| 24508223 -- Validation Errors screen shows inconsistent results after validating data. | ||
| 24299055 -- When adding a logic group to a location, user receives an ORA-01790 error. | ||
| 23717925 -- When importing data using the open interface or the Universal Data Adapter (UDA), the space around member name is not trimmed. | ||
| Workaround: Create a view and then trim the column in the view definition. | ||
| 23565292 -- When target members have trailing white spaces, and the check process is run, it fails because the dimension member from FDMEE uses trailing spaces, and the dimension member in the target application does not. | ||
| Workaround: Trim any trailing spaces from the dimension member before performing the check process. | ||
| 23484375 - Entering multiple calculation scripts in the target application returns a null point exception. | ||
| 23339351 -- Validate should run on entire data in the POV, and not just for data imported from the current file. | ||
| 22569856 -- You cannot load metadata from Peoplesoft to Data Relationship Management using the loadmetadata batch script. | ||
| 22903056 -- Concatenation of Peoplesoft chartfields is not supported when exporting to Data Relationship Management. | ||
| 21936206 -- Extracting a journal from Hyperion Financial Management for multiple periods fails. | ||
| Workaround: Only a single period journal extract is supported. | ||
| 20320597 -- After write-back, export fails and the Check Report displays an error message. | ||
| Workaround: When the Check Rule is assigned to a location before upgrading, then after the write-back, the location is assigned to the check rule incorrectly. This causes the check step to fail. | ||
| 20320474 -- Write-back fails for a Peoplesoft application using period mappings. | ||
| 20310919 -- Refresh members for a Financial Management application fail when intercompany partner (ICP) transactions have been enabled. | ||
| Workaround: First, run the refresh members feature before enabling ICP transactions for the application. Then, if ICP transactions have been enabled, run refresh members for individual dimensions in Data Load Mapping. | ||
| 20235842 -- When you specify metadata for Hyperion Financial Management, the currency attribute is not updated in member properties when you deselect the Use System Default feature and enter the currency manually. | ||
| 20205391 -- Data synchronization and write-back fail when multiple periods are loaded to Hyperion Financial Management and one period has no data. | ||
| 20013531 -- French and French-Canadian translations of some messages may show missing apostrophes ('). | ||
| 19986647 -- Write-back only recognizes the underscore (_) character as a concatenation operator in segment mapping. | ||
| Workaround: Segment operators only work when the separator is an underscore (_). If the separator is not an underscore, then the separator acts like * and brings over the entire field contents. | ||
| 19769234 -- Error occurs when exporting TDATASEG table to Excel interface. | ||
| Workaround: When exporting large tables, use Reports. | ||
| 19681915 -- Concatenating ledger segment during metadata load fails. | ||
| 19625362 -- Target option LOVs for write-back do not show filtered values. | ||
| 19453738 -- Running a Check Report fails for Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management applications. |
Getting back to the New Features. There are a few that I will be VERY interested in trying out to see how they work. One specifically being the Hybrid support for Fusion GL Cloud Balances!
This is the detail to the feature: Hybrid Support for Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud and Fusion GL Cloud Balances
FDMEE can be used as a primary gateway to integrate data between on-premise and the cloud based Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud (FCCS) and the Fusion GL Cloud Balances applications. This feature allows EPM customers to adapt FCCS and Fusion GL Cloud Balances deployments into their existing EPM portfolio. You might use the integration to import data from existing on-premise ERP applications, or synchronize data between FCCS applications or Fusion GL Cloud Balances and on-premise applications.
One last note, when will there be another update to my little friend Smart View?
Curious what new MAJOR features will be added for the next version?!?!?
