Enterprise Data Management Cloud
Calculate Movement Properties for Financial Consolidation and Close Applications
New properties are available for Financial Consolidation and Close type applications to configure Account and Movement dimension members for calculating movements.
Removal of Internet Explorer Browser Support
Starting with this update, EPM Cloud will no longer support Internet Explorer based on the Microsoft recommendation that Internet Explorer browser users use the new Microsoft Edge as their default browser. Because Oracle will no longer test EPM Cloud using Internet Explorer, existing functionality that currently works with Internet Explorer may no longer work starting this update.
Oracle recommends that you move all users to a supported browser See Supported Browsers in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Management Cloud for Users for a list. For guidance on Internet Explorer Lifecycle, please reach out to Microsoft.
You can use custom URLs to access EPM Cloud environments from a web browser. You use a third party link shortener, for example, T.ly, Bitly, Rebrandly, TinyUrl, is.gd and so on, or an open source solution, for example, YOURLS, to configure your custom URL. For detailed information on creating vanity URLs, see the documentation from the third party link shortener of your choice.
NOTE: Vanity URLs do not work with Smart View, cross-environment connections (EPM Connect), and EPM Cloud tools such as EPM Automate.
Information Security in EPM Cloud
Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators now includes comprehensive information on the mechanisms that EPM Cloud employs to implement, manage, and secure communication channels and security to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. This new topic includes information on data and password encryption, data security, access control mechanisms, access auditing, application performance monitoring, security evaluation process, and threat and vulnerability testing and management process.
A new version of EPM Automate is available. This version include the optional parameter errorFile with the importData and importMetadata commands. This version also supports the optional userNames parameter with the exportAppAudit command. These commands work with Planning (including Modules), Consolidation and Close, and Tax Reporting business processes only.
