The EPM Week In Review: Week Ending April 9, 2016
This was a big week for patch releases and as always, a lot of a great blogging.
Patches and Updates:
The Essbase 11.1.2.4.008 patch finally hit the Proactive Support blog along. Last week we were missing EAS, Studio, and APS. This week we have them! Sadly, this patch does not fix my client’s issue. Oracle just updated my ticket says, and I quote…”sorry”.
More importantly, Oracle’s cloud and on-premises worlds have finally collided! The FDMEE 11.1.2.4.200 patch has finally arrived. This added cloud integration along with a ton of other important bug fixes (including a lot of unmentioned one’s).
New Blog Posts:
This week I blogged about loading SQL data into ASO in parallel.
Harry is working on a pretty awesome web-based Excel-like interface for Essbase. I’ll be installing this when he makes it available.

Ricardo and Rodrigo published a great article on OTN exploring Planning Security with ODI.
Glenn explains an undocumented change to the way that Essbase interfaces with SQL Server in 11.1.2.4.

Missing your search-icon’s in the FDMEE POV selection dialog? Terry shows you where to find them.
The Oracle CEAL team has posted a new PDF on integrating OBIEE 12c with HFM. This goes through the entire install process for the drivers and configuring the ADM data source.
