Oracle Cloud EPM Updates: July 2025
The documentation for the July update to Oracle Cloud EPM has been released. As a reminder, these updates are applied in test during the first daily maintenance that occurs after Friday, July 4, 2025 at 22:00 UTC and in production two weeks later during the first daily maintenance that occurs after Friday, July 18, 2025 at 22:00 UTC. The data integration team at Oracle continues to give us new features along with a few other notable additions.
Data Integration Administrator Role
Hot on the heals of adding location security to Data Exchange last month, we now have an entirely new role for data integration. The new role allows complete separation of duties the application administrator and the data integration administrator.
Smart Split...for Bigger Data
If you’ve ever had an integration fail extracting data from Fusion GL, this should be very interesting. You can now use an existing integration and run that integration automatically on a specified dimension to avoid the limiters. So if you have processes split into multiple data integrations today, you might be able to consolidate those processes into a single Smart Split process:
Parents First on Inclusive Form Designs
So you build a form with children, inclusive and the form has the parent at the bottom instead of the top. Then the client says, can we get that at the top? Then you have to redesign you form to include another row with just the parent and turn off the inclusive function. Now we have new functions so that we can get rid of these extra rows in our forms. This also works for any parents in the descendants function. So you can finally have quarters and then months. I’d love to see these added to the report side of the world as well.
More Cubes in...FCCS???
This one feels crazy, but also makes sense. You can now open an SR to request additional BSO cubes in your FCCS application. This will allow things like a historical cube that isn’t touched as much to operate independently of the main data cube. This seems largely intended to aid in fixing performance challenges, but I’m sure other uses will be found.
More AI in FCCS
With so much emphasis these days on AI, it should come as no surprise that Oracle continues to add more and more functionality. This month add IPM to FCCS along with AI-based Consolidation Job Analytics.
