Program Agenda
1 Changes in Financial Reporting 11.1.2.4.900

2 How these changes affect the Financial Reporting module
3 What's happened to the RAF module?
4 What's different in FR 11.1.2.4.900 compared to 11.1.2.4.700
of FR
5 How would these changes affect somebody
monitoring/administering the FR server?

Introduction and Overview
• Premier Support for legacy Hyperion BI framework, which includes the
Reporting and Analysis repository, ended in April 2015.
• The R&A/Foundation repository has been replaced by a new proprietary
Document Repository in 11.1.2.4.900
– Applies to new customers only.
– There is no migration support in the 11.1.2.4.xxx release, this may happen in the 11.2
release, safe harbor applies.
– Reporting and Analysis Framework is no longer installed.
• The new repository has also been used in our cloud offerings such as EPRCS
and PCMCS since its initial release.

EPM Cloud and New Document Repository
• The document repository feature has also been incorporated in our
cloud offering.
• Existing cloud customers were migrated to the new repository in our
18.07 cloud release.
Supported Paths to This Release
EPM System Release 11.1.2.4.900 is intended for new deployments. If you
are an existing customer with a deployed application, there is no need to
upgrade to this release.
Note: This release is for installing new deployments only, it does not apply
to existing deployments of EPM System. If you have an existing deployment
of EPM System, then you should not use this release. You cannot upgrade to
release 11.1.2.4.900 from a previous release.

New Security Roles

been streamlined to only Administrator Reporting and Analysis Administrator
include roles necessary for Reporting and Analysis Global Administrator

New Repository R&A Repository
Products Removed from the 11.1.2.4.900 Installation
• Oracle Hyperion Reporting and Analysis, including:
– Oracle Hyperion SQR Production Reporting
– Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting
– Reporting and Analysis Framework
– Oracle Hyperion Web Analysis (removed for new customers in 11.1.2.4.700)
• Disclosure Management
Installer Changes
The Document Repository binaries are installed with Oracle Hyperion
Financial Reporting in the following locations:
/EPMSystem11R1/common/financialreporting/11.1.2.0/lib/Docrep.jar
/EPMSystem11R1/common/financialreporting/11.1.2.0/lib/Docrepreg.jar
/EPMSystem11R1/common/financialreporting/11.1.2.0/lib/Repository.jar
Installer Changes
• In earlier releases, FR
was a sub node under
Reporting and Analysis.
In 11.1.2.4.900, FR is
now at the root node
with the other products:
Configurator Changes
• EPM Configurator options
related to R&A, SQR PR
Studio, IR, and DiscMan were
removed.
• The Document Repository
Application is registered and
configured when FR is
configured. The application is
in WORKSPACE in the
registry.
• This is the new EPM
Configurator panel
Service Changes
• All of the new Document Repository services are included in the FR
services, there are no longer any Foundation or R&A services installed.
Troubleshooting
• From a troubleshooting standpoint, there is no past customer history of
issues encountered, so there are no troubleshooting guidelines at this time.
• However, the following standard information should be gathered when
troubleshooting issues with the new document repository:
– Fiddler traces
– Screenshots
– Managed server log files for FoundationServices0 or EPMServer0 managed servers
– There are no Reporting and Analysis Framework logs to gather
Other Issues
• Chrome not supported, but not blocked

• Log Off link disappears after use
• Financial Reporting Web Studio requires web server configuration changes
• Financial Reporting command-line utilities not supported
Other Known Issues
• When configuring the FR DB using the EPM configurator, there is no need
for a separate FR DB/schema, the foundation DB configuration takes care of
laying down the required Financial reporting/documentation repository
tables. Essentially the tables get laid during the registry DB configuration by
default.
Other Known Issues Continued…
• External Administrative users do not see the explore module, the
workaround is provision the user with "Viewer in addition to the
administrative roles that the user may have to let the affected user be able
to see the Explore module in Workspace.
• Alternatives to the non availability of a Home page
The default is set to none
As an alternative you can go to Navigate -> Administer -> Workspace
Setting -> Manage Preferences and change the Default Startup up option
Or
Users can make changes to the default startup page under the
File/Preferences/General/Default Startup Options section
• Financial Reporting application server deployment fails
• What we have seen on multiple occasions is the install files/binaries were

downloaded from out TechNetwork site rather than the Edelivery site
• The recommended site/URL to download binaries is Oracle Software

Delivery Cloud site whose URL is https://edelivery.oracle.com
Changes/Advantages
The non existence of Reporting Analysis Framework Agent and the RA
application simplifies maintenance of the reporting module.
The data folder which was previously called “RM1” no longer exists, the
financial reporting artifacts are now stored in the relational DB, this
eliminates the requirement to have a shared data directory defined to
facilitate clustering, in a clustered setup, both the FR nodes in the cluster are
configured against the underlying DB.
Changes/Advantages Continued…
Log maintenance is simplified as the diagnostics/logs/ReportingAnalysis
directory is no longer available.
Previously reported timeouts or long waits while logging into the workspace
application when the corresponding modules were offline is also simplified
considering the reporting module is now essentially financial reporting, this
has helped improve response times navigating through the
workspace/financial reporting UI.
The Tools->Install menu for the Financial Reporting Studio thick client is no
longer available, it is recommended to use the Financial reporting Web
Studio client as the Web client has now reached parity with the FR Studio
thick client, however the thick client still gets laid out during installation and
is available at the following default location:
Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/products/financialreporting/install/bin
/FinancialReportingStudio.exe
The “Open In Studio Preview option” has been removed from Workspace.
MIME types no longer available.
The MIME types settings screen from the R&A repository were a legacy
feature, this is no longer available in the new document repository of
Financial Reporting.
