October 2019 Quarterly Critical Patch Updates announced for Hyperion

Hi EPM/Hyperion on-premises Infrastructure friends,

The following information is what I was able to dig up concerning OCT2019CPU, published just a few days ago.

Here are the specific patch ID #s which apply to Hyperion.

Oracle WebLogic Server, versions 10.3.6.0.0
30109677: WLS PATCH SET UPDATE 10.3.6.0.191015
(Available for 11.1.2.3 and 11.1.2.4 only)
November 11 update: Please consult WebLogic Breaks Jython? before promoting this patch to Production.

Oracle Java SE, version 7
30384776: Oracle JDK 7 Update 241 b31
Requires our upgrade procedure from Java 6 & JRockit 6 to Java 7 is performed first:
(Available for 11.1.2.4 only)

Hyperion Data Relationship Management, version 11.1.2.4
28818149: ORACLE DATA RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT - 11.1.2.4.347 PSU
(This is a stale patch – the last DRM patch is from Feb 2019)
               
Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect, version 11.1.2.4
22078964: PSE REQUEST FOR 22074034-DRM INTEG: REBUILD OF WS CLIENT PROXY FOR DRM API WS
(Extremely stale patch from 2015 - only applies to customers who integrate EPMA with DRM)

Hyperion Financial Reporting, version 11.1.2.4.7xx
29712951: RA 11.1.2.4.711 PATCH SET UPDATE FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
(patch is 4 months old)

Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.4
29889455: HYPERION PLANNING - PATCH SET UPDATE 11.1.2.4.009
(patch is 3 months old)
Check the patch readme and Oracle forum for Essbase certification issues.  Prior Essbase patches were de-certified by Oracle for Planning 11.1.2.4.006.  I don’t know if this has been fixed for .009.

Hyperion Shared Services 11.1.2.4
28314691: Patch Set Update: HSS 11.1.2.4.008
(patch is 1 year old. Depends upon prior PSEs being applied first and in a specific order.  Consult the readme)

EPM Workspace / RA Framework 11.1.2.4
29115044: TRACKING BUG FOR R&A PSU 11.1.2.4.009
Extreme care must be taken when downloading Workspace / RA Framework patches!
We must look for this text within the patch readme:








Unless things have changed, co-mingling RA Framework / Workspace 11.1.2.4.9xx with an 11.1.2.4.000/700 system could corrupt Workspace and make it non-functional.

Stay tuned.  Submitted application and we'll see if it is accepted.

But I can already hear it in my head:   "I award you no points."
