Skip Update? Really? After a 4-month hiatus from blogging, I’m back with a question. Why am I writing about the Skip Update feature in Oracle EPM, which can be easily managed by EPM Automate?

Essentially, after your file is loaded by Data Management, the archival process creates a copy for future reference during debugging or auditing. Built-in Archival Process: Lets see the options: Lets look into the system settings: How to Access…

Traditionally, this has been achieved through two methods: password strings and encrypted password files. While both serve…
