The Notification About the New, Streamlined Redwood Themes

You can snooze this announcement for seven days by clicking the close icon (x) in the message panel. To view examples of the different themes, click See Examples.

The Oracle theme will be the default Redwood theme for all new environments and existing environments wherein the theme has not been customized. The Custom Dark theme will be used as the theme for customers who have already implemented theme customizations. Customers who have not yet enabled the Redwood Experience will remain on their existing themes.

This update requires access to Oracle CDN (static.oracle.com), which provides image files, JavaScript, and other static content for the Redwood Experience. The switch over to the new themes will be automatic and will occur when the 24.04 updates are applied to your environments.

Business Benefit: By supporting simpler theming and compact navigation, the new Redwood themes improve user experience.

Oracle ENVIRONMENTS FROM NON-HYBRID ESSBASE VERSION TO HYBRID ESSBASE VERSION

Oracle to  upgrade all ENVIRONMENTS FROM NON-HYBRID ESSBASE VERSION TO HYBRID ESSBASE VERSION

Within the next 3 months, Oracle is planning to upgrade all environments to a hybrid Essbase version as of April 2024

To ensure that your application is compatible with hybrid Essbase version, we've implemented a new utility which verifies your member formulas and provides a report so you can fix any issues. 

The Essbase Outline Validation menu option is in the Application Overview Actions menu. Select the Pre validate Outline option to perform a validation of your application and then select Outline Pre-validation Report to view a list of member formulas that need to be fixed to be compatible with hybrid Essbase version. After you have fixed the member formulas, you can use the Pre validate Outline option again to make sure that all issues are resolved.

To verify member formulas: From the Home page, click Application, and then click Overview.

Click Actions, select Essbase Outline Validation, then select Pre validate Outline.

To view the validation report, select Outline Pre-validation Report.

To check Essbase version, look at the value of Essbase Version supports Hybrid Block Storage Option in the Activity Report. 

If the value is Yes, environment is on hybrid Essbase version. 

If the value is No, its on a non-hybrid Essbase version.
