Hyperion 11.2 version release details and support details

Oracle is today announcing a “Continuous Innovation” release model for Oracle Hyperion
Enterprise Performance Management System 11.2, delivering ongoing applications and
underlying technology stack updates without a major upgrade. At the same time, we are
announcing Oracle Premier Support for Oracle Hyperion EPM System 11.2 through at least
2030.

This means that after upgrading to release 11.2 when it becomes available, Oracle Hyperion
EPM System customers running on release 11.2 will be able to continue to access new
applications functionality and separately uptake later versions of underlying technology for
years to come, without the time and expense of a major release upgrade.

Hyperion configuration question: Same weblogic doamin server for Windows and Linux??

One of my friend asked me, question about why we can't use same weblogic domain between Windows and Linux servers in case setting up Hyperion in distribution environment.

Well, i will ask the same question in this way, If we have Hyperion distribution environment setup with set of servers Windows and Linux. Installed Hyperion components in Windows and Linux server, while try ing to configure Did you face any issues while deploying web applications to weblogic? Did you deployed to same domain all web applications from windows and Linux?

Or Simply If you have Hyperion distribution environment setup with Windows and Linux servers, how many Admin servers will you have??

Generally, Whenever we install and configure Foundation components along with foundation, Weblogic will also get deployed. So, generally we will say weblogic will installed along with Foundation. So Admin server will be in Foundation server. But in case of distribution environment, you foundation in windows and Planning, Essbase in Linux, you same weblogic won't work for windows and Linux. Because Weblogic won't accept accessing between 2 different platforms.
It will error out, while doing configuration with Foundation windows server weblogic domain details.
So, either we need create new domain or use existing domain of same platform.

Thanks to Naresh Addala, Lova Ramisetti for helping in this post.

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.”

No Home Page in this version

One more update about Chrome Support:

27787630 -- Chrome is not supported in Release 11.1.2.4.900; however, if you do use Chrome as your browser, when you log on to EPM Workspace, you are not warned that Chrome is not supported.

27737106 -- If you log off from EPM Workspace by clicking the Log Off link or by selecting File, then Log Off, and then you log back on to EPM Workspace without closing the logon page, you will not see a Log Off link or a File > Log Off menu item.

As a workaround, exit EPM Workspace by selecting File, and then Exit, or close the browser window. When you do this, the next session will show the Log Off link and the File > Log Off menu item.
