This section of the Oracle Cloud readiness update is often overlooked and many of us just want to see this month’s enhancements, myself included! however this section shouldn't be overlooked, below are some key items that may impact your applications!
- Oracle are Upgrading All Non-Hybrid Essbase versions
to Hybrid Essbase in
the next 3 months, to check if your application is Hybrid enabled, go to Applications
> Overview > Activity Reports, as shown in the below screenshot and follow the link at the bottom of the page to see the full information & instructions published by Oracle.
- Discontinuation of Infolets from the 24.04 update, creation of new infolets will be disabled and no longer supported, this is a real shame as Infolets were a great way to display high level detail and embed them on the home screen, however with the enhancements in Dashboards in recent releases the discontinuation of this feature should not be a significant loss, so if you do have Infolets that are in constant use! it’s time to switch them over to Dashboards.
- Discontinuation of Non-Redwood Themes, this has been talked about for some time now, but Oracle are saying this will be removed towards the end of Q1 so not long to switch, check out this oracle video to see the enhancements you are missing out on by not utilizing the Redwood theme: https://community.oracle.com/customerconnect/events/604505-epm-why-you-should-be-using-the-redwood-theme-in-epm-cloud
- 24.03 Updates to Substitution Variables and Consolidation Settings, the March update Financial Consolidation and Close will be introducing a new module called “Consolidation Settings” this will phase out the user-created substitution variables, with a migration option for some substitution variables with more plan in future updates
So take a break, grab a beverage
and read the 24.02 Important action and considerations!
