Internet Explorer Compatibility View Registry Settings for Hyperion Financial Reports and Smartview 20.100 version

We recently upgraded our office suite to M365 and Smartview to SVC 20.100 version.  After doing so, we noticed that we cannot open FR reports using SV.

It was discovered that we have to apply Registry Settings for Excel, Word, PPT for IE11 for Users machines.

For 64-bit Office:

Add the three DWORD values for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION].

The values must match your installed version of Internet Explorer. If you are unsure which entry to use, then use the 32-bit Office values noted above.

"EXCEL.EXE"=dword:00011000
"POWERPNT.EXE"=dword:00011000
"WINWORD.EXE"=dword:00011000

Administering Migration for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud

Importing Artifacts and Application from a Snapshot

You import snapshots to create a clone of another environment or to migrate artifacts from another environment. Before you can initiate such process, you must upload the backup or incremental snapshot that you want to import into the target environment.

Use Migration to download the snapshot from the source environment and then upload it to the target environment. Alternatively, you may use the copySnapshotFromInstance EPM Automate command to copy the snapshot into the target environment. You may also use the downloadFileand uploadFile commands to copy a snapshot into the target environment. See these information sources:

• Command Reference in Working with EPM Automate for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud
• Uploading Archives to the Service

REMOVAL OF FLASH SUPPORT IN CALCULATION MANAGER

 Oracle has disabled Flash in Calculation Manager, and options to enable it have been removed. 

Business Benefit: This change aligns with Adobe’s decision to stop updating and distributing Flash at the end of 2020. See https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/.
