Last week, Oracle released the long-awaited FDMEE 11.1.2.4.200 (Patch 22452414) to the general public. As expected, they fixed several defects and added two major features:

  • Ability to connect to Cloud (PBCS) EPM Applications
  • Data Relationship Management (DRM) Integration with FDMEE

Applying This Patch

Step 1 — Apply the Pre-Requisite Oracle JDeveloper (ADF) Patch

  1. Download patch 21240419 from the My Oracle Support site
  2. Unzip the patch to a temp directory, e.g. c:\temp\21240419
opatch.bat apply MW_HOME\oracle_common\OPatch\21240419\oui -oh MW_HOME\oracle_common -jre MW_HOME\jdk160_35

Step 2 — Apply the FDMEE Release

opatch.bat apply C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\OPatch\22452414 -oh C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1 -jre C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_35

Configuring the SSL Certificate

To connect FDMEE On-Premise to PBCS, download the certificate from your PBCS URL, then import into the WebLogic Demo Key Store:

keytool -importcert -keystore DemoTrust.jks -storepass DemoTrustKeyStorePassPhrase -file c:/temp/pbcs.crt -alias "pbcs_pod_name"

Adding the Cloud Target Application in FDMEE

Under Target Application Summary, click Add then Cloud. Enter your credentials, select the application type, then click Save. All other setup definitions such as import format, location, and data rule are defined in the exact same way as any other EPM application.
