NEW *** Oracle EPM Integration Agent

Oracle EPM -  New Version for EPM Integration Agent

A new version of the EPM Integration Agent is available in this release. The key updates include:

• Java 17 or higher is required to run this Integration Agent version.
• Resource Scope support for OAuth 2.0 authentication has been added, enabling compliance with the Resource Scope requirement for OAuth 2.0–based integrations.

If you are upgrading to this version, make sure that your environment is running Java 17 or later. If using OAUTH method for authentication, update the OAUTH2 configurations as needed to take advantage of the new Resource Scope support.

Applies to: Account Reconciliation, Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, FreeForm, Planning, Tax Reporting

Business Benefit: The new version strengthens integration security by supporting Resource Scope in OAuth 2.0 authentication and ensures compatibility with current Java platform standards by requiring Java 17 or later.

Workflow for EPM Integration Agent

The EPM Integration Agent can be deployed in two modes: synchronous and asynchronous. The mode determines how communication is opened between your on-premises data and the Cloud EPM. 

When an integration is executed in synchronous mode, the Cloud EPM initiates a direct call from the Cloud EPM to the appropriate agent based on the cluster assignment. When an integration is executed in asynchronous mode, the Cloud EPM queues for the integration job to execute. 

The agent polls at intervals and executes the jobs queued.

Oracle EPM - Application Monitoring Menu Diagnostics

Oracle Application Monitoring Menu

The Application Diagnostics menu under Global Navigator: Monitor is now renamed to Application Monitoring to distinguish it from the Application Diagnostics tool.

Applies to: Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, FreeForm, Planning

Application Monitoring enables Service Administrators, at design-time, to identify and resolve design flaws before an application is placed in production (and on an ongoing basis, as the application evolves with new members and data is added to the application) and used by end users. 

Service Administrators can use application diagnostics to evaluate the following:

• An entire application

• Types of artifacts such as forms and approval units

• Individual "cherry picked" artifacts

Application Monitoring identifies changes that Service Administrators can make at design-time to resolve artifacts with design flaws, and provides easy access to the editors required to modify them. 

At runtime, internal processes perform checks that may deny system requests if artifacts need to be modified. Application Monitoring evaluates your application and artifacts based on the user a Service Administrator selects. 

This enables you to determine the potential problems that may occur at runtime given the individual user's variables and security access as part of the analysis.

Business Benefit: This enhancement distinguishes the Application Monitoring menu from the Application Diagnostics tool.
