Hyperion HFM upgrade to 11.1.2.4 and changes in Log File and Processes

Going thru an upgrade from 11.1.2.2 to 11.1.2.4 HFM and we noticed certain log files location have changed and the HFM services/processes also look different now.

See below of what we discovered:

• Financial Management - Located in: EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/logs/hfm
  • xfm.odl.<APPLICATION_NAME>.log — Financial Management Application Server core activity (per application)
  • oracle-epm-fm-hsx-server.log — Financial Management Java Serverlog
  • oracle-epm-fm-bi-publisher.log — Logs for Financial Management to BI Publisher interaction
  • oracle-epm-fm-hsx-registry.log — Logs for Financial Management to Shared Services Registry interaction
  • oracle-epm-fm-lcm-client.log — Logs for Financial Management to Lifecycle Management interaction
  • SharedServices_Security.log — Logs for Financial Management to Shared Services Security API interaction
• FinancialManagement Web Application - Located in: MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem/servers/HFMWeb0/logs/hfm  AND MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem/servers/HFMWeb0/logs/
• oracle-epm-fm.log — Financial Management Java web application activity
• oracle-adf.log — Financial Management ADF logs
• HFMWeb0.log — Financial Management domain logs
• HFMWeb0diagnostic.log — Financial Management domain diagnostic logs
• oracle-jrf.log — Financial Management JRF logs

The Windows processes of HFM application server for 11.1.1.3.x to 11.1.2.3.x used to be:

• HsxService.exe
• HsxServer.exe
• CASSecurity.exe 
• HsvDatasource.exe

Now with HFM 11.1.2.4.x we noticed this:

• HyS9FinancialManagementJavaServer_instanceName 
  
• HyS9FinancialManagementWeb_instanceName
• XFMDatasource.exe

You will notice this in your Windows Task Manager, when you start the services.
