While I was busy celebrating May 1st with my family some people have already studied the new EPM release. Therefore I will not reinvent the wheel by posting another "what's new" update and instead will link to these fine blog posts for those who are thirsty for more information:
- EPM 11.1.2.3 Installation and configuration changes by John Goodwin
- All the Cool New Features in Oracle EPM 11.1.2.3 by Edward Roske (an overview of new product features based on EPM readme files)
One nice addition that hasn't been discussed much yet is the enhanced rapid deployment installation option which allows you to deploy a single Windows server installation of HFM, Planning or Essbase. The Repaid Deployment Wizard requires minimal interaction and produces a fully configured and tested EPM setup complete with an Oracle database.
