Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud, March Update
This document outlines the upcoming Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud update.
Oracle will apply the latest updates to your test environments starting at 23:00 UTC (15:00 PST) on Friday, March 1, 2019 and to your production environment on Friday, March 15, 2019, starting at 22:00 UTC (15:00 PDT). The updates will be applied to your environments during the first subsequent daily maintenance.
The Oracle Help Center provides access to updated documentation. The updates will be available in the Help Center on March 1, 2019. Some of the links to new feature documentation included in this document will not work until after the Oracle Help Center update is complete.
NOTE: Backing up the daily maintenance snapshot and restoring the environment as needed are self-service operations. Oracle recommends that you download the maintenance snapshot every day to a local server.

No New Features in This Update
The March 2019 update (19.03) to the service contains only the software issues that were addressed after the February 2019 (19.02) update. Some fixes to reported software issues may have resulted in code changes, which will be reflected after the update is applied to your environments. Descriptions of the issues that are addressed in this update are posted to My Oracle Support.
The March 2019 update does not contain any new features.
Removal of Support for Transport Layer Security Protocol 1.0 and 1.1
Starting with the May 2019 update (Release 19.05) to EPM Services, Oracle will support only Transport Layer Security protocol version 1.2 (TLS 1.2) to communicate with EPM Cloud. To ensure the highest level of authentication and data encryption security, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 will no longer be supported after your environments are updated on May 3, 2019.
NOTE: Support for TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 will be removed for both your Test and Production environments on May 3, 2019.
Because most modern operating systems and browsers support TLS 1.2; users of such systems and browsers will not be affected by the deprecation of TLS 1.0 and 1.1. EPM Automate and Smart View are also not affected by this change.
After the 19.05 update on May 3, 2015, you cannot use client operating systems that do not support TLS 1.2 (for example, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Microsoft Windows 2002) to run operating system-specific commands (for example, code to run cURL tools to transfer data and custom code that integrates with the Rest APIs) against EPM Cloud. Additionally, Smart View installed on such systems will also fail to communicate with EPM Cloud. Similarly, you cannot use browsers that do not support TLS 1.2 protocol to access EPM Cloud environments.
If you are using on-premises FDMEE to integrate with EPM Cloud you must update your on-premises EPM 11.1.2.4 deployment to support TLS 1.2. Refer to the following Oracle Support document to enable TLS 1.2 support:
Oracle will provide you a temporary test environment if you want to test your custom code. To initiate a request for a temporary test environment, please submit a service request from My Oracle Support.
Software issues addressed each month will be posted to My Oracle Support.
If an approver is assigned at the hierarchy set level and a node is then added to the hierarchy, the approver gets invited to approve but has no rights to open the request to approve it.
Approver with No Email Address
If an approval policy is set up with an approver who does not have an email address specified, then when that user is invited to approve, no email is sent to that user or to the Data Manager.
Default Values for Node, Date, and Timestamp Display with Red Border
Valid default values for node, date, and timestamp properties may display a red border in the property pane indicating that the values are invalid. When this occurs you can still submit the request successfully.
Escalated Request Does Not Invite Next User
When a Data Manager approves an escalated request that uses a serial approval method, the next user in the policy does not get invited to approve the request.
If errors are reported when importing LCM snapshot, do not proceed with system usage until the errors have been resolved.
Recreating Previously Deleted User Group
When creating a user group with the same name as a group that was previously deleted, in some cases the Permissions tab of the inspector dialog will display this error message “Error occurred while persisting or retrieving data”.
Workaround: Create a user group with a name different from the previously deleted group.
The maximum number of requests that can be displayed on the Request Activity page is 200. When you use the Search on the Request Activity page, the search is performed only on the requests displayed, not on all requests in the system.
Search Results for Unbound Viewpoints
When searching for a node, the results always reflect the number of node instances in the bound viewpoint even when searching an unbound viewpoint.
Email notifications for subscriptions are displayed in English only.
System User for Pushed Back Request
When a request is updated by the system, such as during an automatic push back, the system user is displayed as "@@sysadmin".
User in Approval Group Cannot Access Request
When a user is assigned to an approval policy as part of a user group, the user may not be granted full rights to access the request being approved.
