!!!Important!!! EPm Cloud Patch 24.06 - User & Group administration removed

If you have been through any of these situations, then you are not alone. We have been through a fair amount of such situations time to time when we all started our Oracle EPM Cloud journey.  A change was part of a patch and it is not explicitly mentioned in the patch notes? A bug was fixed but no mention in the patch or defects fixed document (link hiding within the patch notes) A regression bug was reported and a one-off patch issued but was not told to you sooner as the support is analyzing your issue and taking time to re-create your instance form the UDR? I hope there will be improvements along the way for better and transparent communication from Oracle.

The first EPM cloud product was released in 2014 and it's been six years till date. I was recently part of an FCCS implementation project. I know what you might be thinking. Coming from completely essbase and planning background and been working on it for almost 12 years and doing an FCCS project? Well, it turned out that way and it was a change for me too than being in my comfort zone and took it as a challenge.  I have been very busy for over the past one year and I didn't really had a chance or time to get back to my blogging and sharing my knowledge. The project finally went live and I am going to share my bit of learnings. Some of it you might alread know The first tip is going to be an easy one and those who have worked in FDMEE / Data Management in the cloud, you might already know it. But, this is very important when it comes to FCCS as zeroes are valid from Balance Sheet standpoint Data Management by default doesn't load zeroes. Below is a excerpt from the document...

Kscope19 - My experiences & Learnings

Kscope18 happened at Disney World resorts, Orlando, Florida and it was a blast. That was my first Kscope experience and it has inspired me a lot. I was the only one from Genpact to present two sessions and I took back all the learnings, experiences and inspired few more colleagues to submit abstracts for the Kscope19 conference Kscope19 happened at Seattle and couldn't have asked for more. It was again a great experience that can only be experienced. Though my abstracts were not selected, I am really happy that few of my colleagues abstracts were selected. Kudos to Kavibharathi, Megha Chopra, Mohit Jain (couldn't make to kscope due to visa issue), Yilmaz, Zulma who had their first time experience and a chance to present at the conference Pre-conference day - 22nd Jun 2019 - Community Service Day Every year ODTUG kicks-off with a  community service day  before the conference. I couldn't make it last year and I made a point to attend and be part of the community servi...
