To Release 11.1.2.3
11.1.2.x
11.1.1.4.x
Apply the maintenance release to Release 11.1.1.4 and then upgrade to Release
11.1.2.3.
Release 9.3.3.x
Upgrade to Release 11.1.2.2 and then apply the maintenance release to Release
11.1.2.3.
Note: If you are starting from Release 9.2.0.3+, 9.3.0.x, 9.3.1.x (except Oracle Essbase 9.3.1.4.1,
9.3.1.5, 9.3.1.6, and 9.3.1.7), or 11.1.1.x, Oracle recommends that you first upgrade to
Release 11.1.1.3, apply the maintenance release to Release 11.1.1.4, and then upgrade to
Release 11.1.2.3. If you are starting from an earlier release, upgrade to the highest level
release that is directly supported.
Security Synchronization between Essbase and Shared Services was removed in Essbase Release
9.3, starting with Release 9.3.1.4.1. Essbase and Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Release 11.1.1.3,
however, still synchronize security information. For this reason, if you are using Essbase Release
9.3.1.4.1, 9.3.1.5, 9.3.1.6, or 9.3.1.7, you must first upgrade all products to Release 9.3.3, then
upgrade to Release 11.1.2.2, and then apply the maintenance release to Release 11.1.2.3.

Requirements
About Migrating Artifacts and Data
Options and Considerations
To upgrade from 11.1.2.1, you must first upgrade to 11.1.2.2 as described in the Oracle Enterprise
Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide, and then perform the
business artifact update tasks provided in the Planning 11.1.2.2 Readme.
Before upgrading a 11.1.2.x (11.1.2.1 or 11.1.2.2.x) application to this release, perform these
steps:
l
Read the following sections to familiarize yourself with the process beforehand.
Perform the upgrade steps on your test environment first. Once you confirm that everything
is working as expected on the test environment, then repeat the steps on your production
Readme
environment. Some steps may not be required based on the release of your existing
application.
l
If you customized your applications by modifying predefined rules, make a backup copy of
your changes to which you can revert if necessary.
New features such as decision packages and PeopleSoft commitment control integration
functionality are enabled only during application creation. If your application was created
earlier than release 11.1.2.2, these features will not be enabled during upgrade. You will need
to create a new application and import your existing content and modifications to take
advantage of the new features.
Requirements
Before running the Upgrade Wizard during installation, perform these tasks:
Note: Perform these steps on your test environment first. Once you confirm that everything is
working as expected on the test environment, then repeat the steps on your production
environment. Some steps may not be required based on the release of your existing
application.
1. Ensure that you can log on to the Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console using an account
enabled for Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Lifecycle
Management tasks.
2. Ensure that you can log on to Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management
Workspace as a Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting administrator.
3. Upgrade Planning to Release 11.1.2.3 as described in the Oracle Enterprise Performance
Management System Installation and Configuration Guide and Managing Upgrades in the
Oracle Hyperion Planning Administrator's Guide.
4. Update references to rehosted data sources (relational databases and Essbase servers). See
Managing Upgrades in the Oracle Hyperion Planning Administrator's Guide.
5. After installing the 11.1.2.3 release, create a 11.1.2.3 Oracle Hyperion Public Sector Planning
and Budgeting application as follows so that the application is identical to the 11.1.2.2. test
application:
Note: In the following steps, Application A refers to your existing 11.1.2.2 application and
Application B refers to the application you create after applying the 11.1.2.3 release.
When creating Application B, perform these steps so that Application B is identical
to Application A.
If you are migrating from 11.1.2.2 and your existing Application A is enabled for
Decision Package and Commitment Control, use the same option when creating
Application B.
Use the same configuration option.
Readme
Migrate your Smart List metadata. See Migrating Smart List Metadata on page 8
If necessary, modify the dimension metadata in the existing Application A using Planning
or Oracle Hyperion EPM Architect as described in Migrating Dimensional Metadata on
page 8.

Create a copy of the artifacts that you modified using the "Save As" functionality. This
ensures that you have a copy of all artifacts. If you saved modified artifacts using a new
name, they are not overwritten.
If you want to keep the changes from the predefined application for artifacts
that were brought into the 11.1.2.2 test application, then skip this step for
those artifacts; alternately, you can merge your changes as you deem
necessary.

Client-to-Server Connectivity
This release includes a large number of user interface enhancements, as described in Oracle
Hyperion Planning New Features. To optimize performance with these new features, you must
implement the following recommended configuration.
The improved Planning user interface requires efficient browsers to handle interactivity
provided through Web 2.0 like functionality. In our testing, we found that Internet Explorer
(IE) 7, IE 8, and Firefox 3.x cannot typically handle such interactivity, and the responsiveness
and speed of these browser versions is not as good as with previous releases of Planning.
Consequently, Oracle strongly recommend that you upgrade your browser to IE 9 or Firefox 10
or later to achieve responsiveness similar to that in previous releases.
However, because response times in IE 7, IE 8, and Firefox 3.x are sometimes acceptable, Oracle
recommends that, if you wish to use these releases, you conduct an end user response test with
these browsers and that you are satisfied with browser performance before installing the new
user interface.
You can leverage the old user interface and features from Planning Release 11.1.2.1. For more
information, see Using the Planning Release 11.1.2.1 User Interface and Features in the Oracle
Hyperion Planning Administrator's Guide.
Internet Browsers
l
If you enabled ADF, you must use IE 9 in standard mode with this release of Planning.
Compatibility mode with IE 9 is not supported in this release if ADF is enabled.
This is the last release to support the Classic Planning 11.1.2.1 user interface if ADF is
disabled. Future releases will require that you enable ADF.
You cannot use IE 9 with release 11.1.2.1 of Classic Planning. Instead, use IE 9 with release
11.1.2.1.100 of Classic Planning.

export/import in Microsoft Excel, be aware that Excel does not properly handle some
formatting features in the .csv file. For example, Outline Load utility places the POV
member information in double quotes and treats it as one column, while Excel treats the
POV members as separate columns. Saving the file in Excel will place an additional set of
quotes around the POV members and will add commas to the top header row. Outline
Load utility will not recognize this as a valid format when the file is imported back. We
recommend editing and saving .csv export files in Notepad, Wordpad, or another text
editor.

To import data, the load dimension must be selected in the Dimension drop down.
For Dimension, user defined dimensions (for example, Product) are listed in the drop down
along with the base dimensions. If there is a user defined dimension in the application and
you want to load its metadata, then select the user defined dimension from the drop down.
If your file contains metadata for a user defined dimension called, for example, NewProduct
which does not yet exist in the application, then select New Dimension, then User Defined,
and then NewProduct. Planning Outline Load will create the NewProduct dimension and
load it's metadata.
The Command Properties File import option was removed from the Import from File screen
in Planning Outline Load.
For Driver Member Specification, note the following example:
Entity,Children(Account_Total), Plan1
Clear Essbase Data is optional. If a data value exists in a cell and the imported data does not
have value for that cell, the existing data will not be overwritten. To overwrite existing data
with a #missing value, the data block must be cleared first (all cells will be #missing) and
then data should be imported into these cells. For example:
e2,IDescendants(Account_Total),"FY13,Current, BU Version_1,Jan,Local",Plan1
48
For Planning Outline Load, when entering member names with a comma character in the
Export Data to File window, use double quotation marks to enclose the member names. Each
Readme
member in a list of multiple members must be placed in its own set of quotation marks. For
example:
"e2,""e,2"""
