Enterprise Data Management

EPM Common

EPM Automate Updates

A new version of EPM Automate is now available. This version introduces the calculateModel, groupAssignmentAuditReport, and runIntegration commands. This version also contains changes to the recreate command. Additionally, the behavior of commands used to manage users, Access Control groups, and roles (addUsers, addUsersToGroup, addUserToGroups, addUsersToTeam, assignRole, createGroups, deleteGroups, importSnapshot, removeUsers, removeUserFromGroups, removeUsersFromGroup, removeUsersFromTeam, unassignRole, and updateUsers) have been updated so that the values of User Login, Group Name, and Role parameters are now treated as case insensitive. Further, the EPM Automate documentation has been updated to identify the commands that work with the Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management application.

Applies to: Account Reconciliation, Enterprise Data Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, FreeForm, Narrative Reporting, Planning, Planning Modules, Profitability and Cost Management, Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Tax Reporting

Customization of Logout URL in SSO-Enabled EPM Cloud (OCI Gen 2)

Starting with this update, you can use a custom logout URL for SSO-enabled EPM Cloud OCI (Gen 2) environments. This change allows you to specify a custom page of your choice (usually an identity provider page) as the landing page when you sign out. This custom logout page is maintained even if you recreate your environment.

Applies to: Account Reconciliation, Enterprise Data Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, FreeForm, Narrative Reporting, Planning, Planning Modules, Profitability and Cost Management, Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Tax Reporting

Formalization of Snapshot States

EPM Cloud now uses standardized snapshot states to identify artifact export and archive operations in progress, for example, during the daily maintenance of the environment. EPM Cloud uses the snapshot state to display appropriate messages when you use EPM Automate commands that perform snapshot-related operations (copySnapshotFromInstance, cloneEnvironment, deleteFile, downlodFile, listFiles, and renameSnapshot) and the Clone Environment feature.

Applies to: Account Reconciliation, Enterprise Data Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, FreeForm, Narrative Reporting, Planning, Planning Modules, Profitability and Cost Management, Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Tax Reporting

A Get method is available for node collections such as Ancestors, Children, Locations, and Siblings to access a node object based on its position in a node collection using an expression.

Improved Custom Validations for Remove and Delete Actions

When archiving a viewpoint which is used as a source viewpoint for a subscription, the user is notified that a subscription will be affected.

Increased Request Item Limit for Subscription Requests

The request item limit for a subscription request has been increased to 12,000 items to accommodate the processing of descendants for nodes which were inserted or moved in a hierarchy viewpoint in the original request.
