This past June saw the annual gathering of Oracle EPM folk for KScope15. For those not in the know, KScope is the premiere conference for all things Oracle Hyperion put on by the esteemed ODTUG (Oracle Development Tools User Group) community. Thought leaders, product experts, and end users meet to share tips, implementation success stories, and to get details on upcoming product releases from the Oracle product management team. Enter FDMEE. If you couldn’t make it to KScope15, or you attended the conference but had too many commitments to make it to FDMEE sessions and the EPM Symposium (read: you were sitting poolside with a mojito in hand), here are the highlights of the near-term roadmap for FDMEE – 11.1.2.4.100. Note: It’s always important to bring attention to Oracle’s Safe Harbor statement, which simply says, Yeah, this stuff is on the way, but no guarantees as to when. PBCS Integration and the Universal Data Adapter If you’ve ever attended one of Oracle’s presentations over the past couple of years, you know that data integration goal for FDMEE is any source/any target. FDMEE delivers several pre-built source adapters for major ERP systems, like EBS Financials and PeopleSoft. Earlier this year, the 11.1.2.4 Release also introduced the EPM Data Synchronization component. With FDMEE EPM Data Sync we can map and move data between two EPM applications, such as HFM and Essbase. In the next 11.1.2.4 patch set update (PSU), we can expect Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) to the be part of the EPM Data Synchronization family for quick and easy EPM to EPM integrations. To achieve the objective of any source/any...

Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Release 11.1.2.3 includes the debut of Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management Enterprise Edition, dubbed “FDMEE”. For existing Hyperion customers, FDMEE represents the evolution of Financial Data Quality Management (FDM). (The soon-to-be-retired Windows-based data integration tool has now been re-branded “FDM Classic”.) With 11.1.2.3, existing Oracle Hyperion customers have a choice: you can continue to use FDM Classic for one last go-round or you can go to FDMEE. For new customers, your only option is FDMEE. With the release of 11.1.2.4 and beyond, it’s FDMEE – no ifs, ands, or buts. For those customers using a previous release of Enterprise Resource Planning Integrator (ERPi), FDMEE is a big leap forward. Oracle states that FDMEE represents the integration of both FDM Classic and the former ERPi. Really, though, Oracle integrated the look-and-feel and overall functionality of FDM Classic into ERPi and re-branded it FDMEE. From FDM Classic, you get most of the key features you’ve come to rely on: Workflow Process (Yes, you still have your gold fish, one for each Workflow step, i.e. Import, Validate, Export, and Check.) Locations Mapping Tables (now “Member Mappings”) Import Formats Validation Entity Groups (now “Check Entity Groups”) Validation Rules Groups (now “Check Rule Groups”) Batch Loader (now “Batch Execution”) Scripting – Import format Scripting, event scripting, and custom scripting File-based data loads From the ERPi side, here are the main features incorporated into FDMEE: Like previous versions of ERPi, FDMEE is fully baked into the Oracle EPM Workspace portal Support for direct data integration with general ledger (ERP) source systems Drill Through from EPM target applications back to transaction-based...
