Purpose

This document includes important, late-breaking information about this release of Oracle Hyperion

Financial Data Quality Management, Fusion Edition (FDM), Hyperion Enterprise Financial Data Quality

Management Module (FDME) Release 11.1.1.3, and Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality

Management ERP Integration Adapter for Oracle Applications, Fusion Edition (ERP Integrator) Review

this information thoroughly before installing FDM or FDME.

Release 11.1.1.3 is a maintenance release for Release 11.1.1.0, 11.1.1.1, or 11.1.1.2.

Top of Document

Oracle Database Tuning

Important: If you are using Oracle as the database for your FDM application, it must be tuned to

ensure optimal performance. Your company’s Oracle DBA must read and follow the tuning instructions

included in the FDM DBA Guide. Failure to tune the database per the FDM DBA Guide will result in poor

performance. The FDM DBA Guide is available on the Oracle Technology Network.

Top of Document

Restrictions

The following are restrictions for FDME customers:

All components of FDME must be installed and run from one server, with the exception of RDBMS.

FDME is limited to 100 users.

Only three features/options are available for FDME: Enterprise Adapter, Tax Adapter, and Batch

Loader:

o Base pricing includes use of the Enterprise Adapter only.

o The Tax Adapter and Batch Loader are available with the purchase of the FDM Adapter Suite.

Documentation is common to FDM and FDME. Therefore, the documentation includes some

references and examples that will not apply to FDME. Some of the information includes, but is not

limited to, the following:

o FDME is limited to only two dimensions (Account and Entity). Some examples may show

dimensions not available in Hyperion Enterprise.

o FDME does not include a load balance component. Load balance servers and backup servers

cannot be specified. All components must be installed and run from one server.

Note: The FDM Adapter Suite must be downloaded to obtain the Hyperion Enterprise adapter which is

included with the purchase of FDME.

New Features

ERP Integration

This release of FDM includes the ERP Integrator. ERP Integrator is a new component of the Hyperion

Workspace that uses Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) to source data and metadata from ERP systems and

loads it into Hyperion EPM applications. ERP Integrator also supports drill through from EPM

applications to the source systems that it supports.

You must purchase the FDM Adapter Suite in order to use the ERP Integrator. Refer to the section in

this document titled EPI Integrator, the Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management ERP

Integration Adapter for Oracle Applications Administrator’s Guide, and the FDM ERP Integration

Adapter Readme for additional information.

Multi-Language Support and FDM System Requirements

This release supports non-English languages. The list of supported languages for all EPM System

products and system requirements for EPM System products is included in the Oracle Hyperion

Enterprise Performance Management System Certification Matrix, posted at

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/hyperion-supported-platforms.html.

System requirements are no longer part of the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management

System Installation Start Here.

FDM release 11.1.1.3 supports a regional setting of Danish and multibyte compliance. The user

interface is localized only for English, French, and German. Refer to the FDM Configuration Guide for

information regarding language settings and configuration for FDM.

Drill Through from SmartView

Products that support both FDM and Oracle Hyperion SmartView allow drill through to FDM. This

feature is currently supported for Financial Management and Planning data. Refer to SmartView

documentation for drill through processes and procedures.

Drill Through from Financial Reporting

Some products that support both FDM and Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting allow drill through to

FDM. This feature is currently supported for Financial Management and Planning. Refer to Financial

Reporting documentation for drill through processes and procedures.

SAP Source Adapter

A source adapter for SAP Financials R/3 4.6c, R/3 4.7, and ECC 6.0 is now available. This adapter

allows you to pull data from SAP Financials into FDM, and then load it to the target system of your

choice. A drill through feature is also included in the adapter. The SAP Adapter is a separate download

and not included in the FDM Adapter Suite.

Functional Changes

User Provisioning Migration Utility

Use the User Migration utility to migrate users in a current FDM application to be provisioned in Shared

Services. Detailed information is included in the FDM Configuration Guide.

64-Bit Support for Financial Management Adapter

FDM supports 64-bit operating systems running in 32-bit emulation mode.

The Financial Management adapter (FM11x-G5-C) for FDM supports 64-bit operating systems running

in 32-bit emulation mode.

Page 4: Fdm 11113 Readme

New Option for SQL Service Provider

When creating new applications or adding applications, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Native Client is now

an option as a database provider. See “Managing FDM Applications” in the FDM Administrator’s Guide

for additional information.

Adapter and Template Updates

The Hyperion Financial Management adapter is no longer installed during the FDM installation process.

The Financial Management adapter is now a separate download from Oracle E-Delivery.

A new procedure for importing standard template and standard reports is included in Chapter 8 of the

FDM Configuration Guide

The FDM Adapter Suite includes the following adapters: Data Extract (Tax), Hyperion Enterprise, ERPI,

Essbase, Pull (DataMart), and Strategic Finance. The SAP Integration adapter is available as a separate

download. Although the ERPI adapter is included in the adapter suite, it requires a separate license to

use.

Note: The adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite is no longer included in the FDM adapter suite. Use the

ERP Integration adapter to integrate FDM with Oracle E-Business Suite Financials.

Adapters for Financial Management, Essbase and Planning, Data Extract (Tax), Pull (DataMart),

Hyperion Enterprise, and Strategic Finance have been updated.

Adapter Synchronization

The adapter synchronize function no longer synchronizes the No Data Value field of the adapter

dimensions. The No Data Value field is also no longer visible anywhere in the product except in the

database.

Batch Processing Support for Source Adapters

The source adapters support batch processing using the Source Controls tables. When launching a

batch process on a location that is using a source adapter, place an empty file in the Open Batch

directory. This acts as a trigger to launch the batch processing. This file can have any name, but must

follow the file-naming conventions outlined in Chapter 17 of the FDM Administrator’s Guide.

Note: Batch multi-load processing is not supported for source adapters.

Enhancement Requests

#6584512—A log entry is created each time the POV is locked or unlocked.

#7634718—Autocomplete is automatically disabled in Internet Explorer for forms containing user

ID and/or password-type inputs.

#7429264—User logoffs are now logged. Note: Logouts as a result of timeouts and users

inappropriately closing the window (clicking X in upper-right hand corner) cannot be logged.

Known Issues

FDM

No Drill-Through from Previous Versions

Target applications versions 11.1.1.2 or earlier will not drill through to FDM version 11.1.1.3.x.

No Support for Oracle RAC

Oracle RAC is not supported for FDM release 11.1.1.3.

Excel xlsx Format Not Supported

This version of FDM does not support the xlsx file format.

Scripts

FDM 11.1.1.3 will only run scripts saved in Unicode format. Scripts imported to FDM (using the FDM

Workbench File > Import option), from any FDM application, regardless of version, must first be saved

in Unicode format prior to exporting (FDM Workbench File > Export option). FDM 11.1.1.3 saves all

scripts in Unicode format.

Entering Numbers in FDM on a Multibyte-Compliant Operating System

Only numbers entered with the direct input or single-width numbers are supported for grids containing

sequencing information, dates, and so forth.

Non-English User Settings

When using non-English language settings, the Application Setting Option values are not translated.

They will appear in English.

Authenticating User’s Credentials with Extended ASCII and Multibyte Characters

Shared Services is the only supported authentication provider when user credentials contain extended

ASCII or multibyte characters.

Non-ASCII Script Elements Display in Workbench

Non-ASCII characters in scripts created in the FDM Web client do not display correctly in the script

editor within the FDM Workbench client.

Scripts and Multibyte Characters

Custom scripts do not support multibyte or extended ASCII characters in the script name or in the

script parameters.

Multibyte-Compatible Fonts Names in Reports Designer

When working in the Reports Designer, multibyte-compatible font names may not display correctly in

the Formatting Toolbar or the Property ToolBox. A detailed procedure for modifying the reports to use

multibyte-compatible fonts in included in the FDM Configuration Guide.

Single-Width and Double-Width Equivalents in Oracle DB

When using Oracle as a backend, single-width and double-width equivalents are treated as distinct

strings instead of duplicate records. Be sure to consider this across the product.

Drill Through and Application Names

Drill through from target applications will fail if the FDM application name contains multibyte or French

characters.

Page 7: Fdm 11113 Readme

7

Mapping FDM Dimension Names to Target System Dimension Names

When using the Essbase adapter, the FDM dimension names must be mapped to the target system

dimension names for drill through functionality to work.

Drill Through Using Alternate Adapter

Problem: When drilling through to a location that uses an alternate adapter, the drill through page

shows dimension names associated with the primary adapter. This is caused when both adapters have their option set to the same value.

Solution: Be sure that the options for each adapter have different target app names.

Timeline Menu Options under Windows XP and Classic Themes

When using the Windows XP or Classic theme, menu options appear to be selectable even when they

are not.

Import Format Strings when using Oracle Database

Hard-coded strings in import formats are not converted to upper case upon the Import function.

Hard-coded strings in import formats must be entered in upper case.

Note: For information about a specific issue, contact Customer Support or visit the Oracle Web site.

Internet Explorer Security

If you receive an error that reads "To protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from

downloading files to your computer. Click here for options..." when a file is exported, Internet Explorer

will require a security settings change.

> To Change the IE Security Setting:

1. Open Internet Explorer

2. Select Tools > Internet Options.

3. Click the Security tab.

4. Select the Internet icon (globe).

5. Click the Custom Level button.

6. Perform an action:

To set all security settings to Medium-Low, from the Reset to: field, select Medium-

Low and click Reset, then click OK.

To set only the Downloads option, in the Settings field, scroll to Downloads and under

File Download, select Enable, and then click OK.

64-Bit Web Servers

FDM supports 64-bit servers running in 32-bit emulation mode only. Because IIS cannot run under 32-

bit and 64-bit mode simultaneously on the same server, Financial Management and FDM Web

components cannot be deployed on the same 64-bit server. All other components can be deployed

together.

FDM Not Supported for Use on Citrix Servers

FDM cannot be installed on a Citrix server. Citrix can publish the URL to an FDM installation that is

hosted on a non-Citrix server.

Page 8: Fdm 11113 Readme

ERP Integrator

Oracle RAC is not supported for this release of ERP Integrator.

ERP Integrator supports limited platforms for this release. ERP Integrator is not compatible with the

following:

- SQL Server

- DB2

- Oracle Application Server

- HPUX RISC

- IBM Websphere

If FDM is configured in the following manner, integration to ERP Integrator to retrieve data fails:

- FDM 11.1.1.3.00 w/ Enterprise Adapter

- Enterprise drill-through Scripts in Load Balancer

If a calendar item is mistakenly assigned to an undesired member in the target application, it

cannot be deleted. To work around the problem, switch the selection to a different member, such

as [No Year].

When creating a detailed member mapping, rule patterns are not assigned as expected.

When you create a calendar mapping and then select a different target application, the Define

Calendar Mapping page does not refresh as expected. To work around this problem, click OK to

refresh the page for the selected application.

In ICP segment related metadata loads, when an ICP segment exists in the chart of accounts and a

default member, such as 00, is selected in the Entity dimension mapping to the Company segment,

this member (00) is created under the ICP dimension, which is not as expected.

Before creating metadata and data rules, you should ensure that your source system data does not

include special characters. Special characters are not supported in Financial Management target

applications.

The initialization of the source system process for a PeopleSoft application will fail if different

effective dated versions of the same tree have different descriptions. The error is:

To work around this problem, manually drop the unique index, AIF_TREES_STG_U2, and create the

AIF_TREES_STG_N2 index instead:

When you create and run a data rule for Performance Management Architect target applications

and then edit the application in Performance Management Architect, the member selector in

Performance Management Architect may show base and shared members.

Page 9: Fdm 11113 Readme

9

If you create a parent for all the orphan members, ensure the member meets all the criteria to be

a parent.

For PeopleSoft source systems, it is expected that metadata should load only those members that

have set ID set to a particular business unit, however, it should load the Accounts relating to set

ID.

For this release, you cannot delete Shared Dimension Library mappings.

If the dimension name is not the same as the Alias name in a Performance Management Architect

Planning application, the drill through landing page does not return any data.

When creating a detailed member mapping for an ICP dimension (target) to natural accounts

(source), the search on target members does not return all members in the ICP dimension. The

missing members are those members that get created in the ICP dimension based on the details of

the entity dimension. Entity members flagged as ICP are created as members of the ICP dimension

during deployment, and it is these members that are not shown in ERPI. ICP members created

manually will be shown in detailed member mapping as targets.

When attempting to create a metadata rule and add dimensions to the rule, the following error is

displayed, even if no dimensions have been added to the rule:

To work around this problem, click the refresh button to refresh the page.

Average daily balance values appear drillable, even though they are not. ERP Integrator does not

support drill through on average balances, therefore the drill region is not created for average daily

balances data.

The naming convention for an auto-generated Performance Management Architect import profile is

“EPMI System Profile” and then a sequential numbering scheme. This may be confusing for

Performance Management Architect users. In future versions, it will be named based on the

metadata rule that is run.

You cannot delete a source system. However, you can modify a source system.

If two metadata rules are started simultaneously for the same data source one of them may fail

with a . To work around this problem, run the rule again.

In some instances, metadata and data rules fail with a

error. To work around this problem, run the rule again.

ERP Integrator does not support drill through for Essbase applications, even though the Create Drill

Region check box on the Target Application Registration page is available. We recommend that you

do not check this box when defining the target application information.

ERP Integrator supports Essbase only in Performance Management Architect applications.

Performance Management Architect Essbase applications allows the creation of applications that

have a single Time dimension. However, ERP Integrator requires that users map the source time

periods to a target year and period. To map to a target EPMA Essbase application, the user will

need to create a period and year dimension in the Essbase application.

On the Define Calendar Mapping page, it is possible to map a source calendar period to a period

member that is above the leaf level, though ERP Integrator will not write data to that period.

Upon success or failure of a process, process details do not display error or log details related to

Performance Management Architect import profile or data synchronization creation. To view import

profile or data synchronization jobs, use the Performance Management Architect Job Console.

If you have a Classic Financial Management or Planning application and define metadata and data

rules, and then upgrade the application to Performance Management Architect you will have to

purge the rules for the application in ERP Integrator and then recreate the rules.

Consider the following for languages when working with Financial Management target applications:

- For Performance Management Architect Financial Management applications, ERP Integrator

attempts to match the ERP Integrator language to the Performance Management Architect

Page 10: Fdm 11113 Readme

10

Financial Management alias members, and performs a case-sensitive match. For example, the

ERP Integrator language selection for French is “FRENCH” in all upper case letters, and it must

match the Performance Management Architect alias member exactly. If the Performance

Management Architect alias member is of mixed capitalization, then ERP Integrator will not find

a match, and the source descriptions for FRENCH will not be populated for any members. Note:

The default alias member is not required for Financial Management. The limit for the number of

languages that can be loaded is 10, and this is the Financial Management maximum.

- For Classic Financial Management applications a single language is supported. On the Target

Application Registration page, the Default Language selected populates the first language in the

list of languages in ERP Integrator. It is possible that the default language selected in Financial

Management could be English, and the first language is French, and the English member

descriptions get pushed to the French descriptions in Financial Management.

Metadata rules created for Financial Management target applications will fail in the following

instances:

- The case is inconsistent from the source to the target.

- There are multiple members in the source system named the same but with different cases

(upper and lower) that are mapped to Financial Management.

- There is a dash (hyphen) in the member name from the source system, as this is not allowed in

Financial Management.

Metadata rules created for Planning target applications will fail in the following instances:

- Invalid characters like “(“or “)” are not allowed, but duplicate aliases may be loaded. Duplicate

aliases are caught at the time of cube refresh.

- Performance Management Architect allows invalid Planning characters such as “(“ or “)” in

aliases and they are detected during application validation. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise

Performance Management Architect Administrator’s Guide for information on invalid characters.

Performance Management Architect mixed mode supports integration between Performance

Management Architect version 11.1.x and source applications in versions 9.3.1.x or earlier 11.1.x

applications. This may work for Performance Management Architect applications and ERP

Integrator, but drill through is not supported for any application version that is not the same

version as ERP Integrator. Also, until this is certified by Oracle development, this is not a supported

configuration for ERP Integrator.

In ERP Integrator, you can select to extract exchange rates from a source ledger to a target

application that is multi-currency enabled. If the target application is Planning, then the exchange

rates will be loaded into the Planning exchange rate tables as part of the data load process. For

Financial Management, exchange rates are only populated into the ERP Integrator exchange rate

interface tables, and you are required to manually import exchange rates into HFM.

Translated ledgers are not a valid source selection for ERPI.

Application roles are required to load metadata and data into a Classic application. For Performance

Management Architect, you need the appropriate roles that allow for deployment and data

synchronization operations. See the Oracle Security Administration Guide for roles required for

Classic Planning, Classic Financial Management, and Performance Management Architect.

It is possible that some source systems have the same member represented multiple times, but in

a different case. Problems can occur when integrating with some target applications. It is

recommended that you modify your source systems to make sure that duplicate members do not

exist because of case issues.

If implementing ERP Integrator with Performance Management Architect, you should create a

Performance Management Architect data source that can be referenced on the source system setup

page. In the EPM System Configurator, when creating the data source, deselect the “Create

interface tables” option.

If you are using PeopleSoft GL as the source system please perform the following steps:

- Go to the directory.

Page 11: Fdm 11113 Readme

11

- Back up the file titled .

- Using any text editor, open the file titled .

- Search for string “ .” (without quotes) and replace with “ ” (six spaces). There will be

two instances with this reference.

Tips and Troubleshooting

FDM

Security Levels when using Shared Services

When using Shared Services, the Security Level option on the User Maintenance screen in FDM is not

selectable. Security levels must be set in Shared Services. After changing the security level for a user,

changes take effect next time the user logs on to FDM.

Pre-11.1.1.3 XML Files

XML files exported from FDM 11.1.1.2 or earlier cannot be imported into FDM 11.1.1.3. Use the

Schema Updater to update from previous version of FDM.

ActiveX Error after Install (Windows 2008)

Problem: With IIS installed and ASP.Net enabled, the internal install completes but when the Finish

button is clicked the following error is displayed:

Solution: IIS 6 Metabase compatibility is required for the FDM Web server when installed on Windows

2008.

Target System Install Locations

When using Financial Management, Essbase, Planning, or Hyperion Enterprise as target systems, the

target system clients must be installed on the same server as FDM.

Password-Protected Excel Files

Problem: If an Excel file is password protected, it has the potential to cause FDM to stop responding

when accessing the file

Solution: Set the Excel sheet that contains the UPS range as the current sheet.

tPOVCategoryAdapter Tables not Populated

Problem: When using user-defined Excel templates to populate the Period and Category tables, the

tPOVCategoryAdapter and tPOVPeriodAdapter tables are not populated automatically.

Solution: Use your Excel template to populate the tPOVCategoryAdapter and tPOVPeriodAdapter

tables.

1-Hour Web Page Timeouts

Problem: Internet Explorer times out after an hour.

Solution: Refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

to change Internet Explorer timeout settings.

Page 12: Fdm 11113 Readme

ERP Integrator

Deleting Rules

You can delete rules prior to successfully running the rule. However, after a rule runs successfully, you

cannot delete the rule. This ensures that the drill through path is consistent. (#8654278)

Caution about ERP Connection Information

Extensive problems can occur if you switch the ERP system connection information for the Physical

Schema in the Oracle Data Integrator Topology Manager after you have completed initial configuration.

For example, extensive problems can occur if you start using one physical schema (ERPTEST) pointing

to ERP Test Instance1 in the Oracle Data Integrator Topology Manager and then change to a

connection information in this physical schema to point to ERP Test Instance2 without first creating a

new context in Oracle Data Integrator. The correct procedure is to create two physical schemas

(ERPTEST1 and ERPTEST2) each pointing to a different ERP instance. Then, create two contexts and

associate the appropriate physical schema to the logical schema in the context.

Documentation Updates

FDM

Multiload Load Control Tags

Load control tag information for Essbase and Strategic Finance has been added to Chapter 15 of the

FDM Administrator’s Guide.

Drill Terminology

The former term “drill back” has been replaced with “drill through.” Drill through refers to the

navigation from a value in one data source to corresponding data in another source. “Drillback” is still

used when referring to navigating from a value in FDM to another value in FDM.

ERP Integrator

Exchange Rate Extraction

In the Data Rule chapter, the exchange rate extraction should be clarified as follows:

When the data rule is run for a Financial Management target applications, the Exchange Rates

from the source would be populated only up to the ERP Integrator interface table:

AIF_HS_EXCHANGE_RATES and will not update the Core Exchange Rates table in Financial

Management. (#8627968)

Classic Financial Management Integration

In addition to the Oracle Data Integrator configuration considerations information, to integrate with

Classic Financial Management, the Financial Management client and Oracle Data Integrator must be

installed on the same server.

Accessing Hyperion Product Documentation

The most recent version of each Hyperion product guide is available for download from the

Documentation area of the Oracle Technology Network Web site
