Please be advised that more information will become available closer to the release date. This post was intended to provide some general information about the new, upcoming release and may not contain all of the details that will be included.
Thank you.
I do not have this information at this time.
Once 11.2 is officially released, all of the information will be provided in the support/certification matrix and release notes.
Thank you.
I reached out to product management and they stated that there is no change in the version of Essbase with the EPM 11.2 release. Everything that is available in 11.1.2.4 will continue to be available in 11.2.
Please keep in mind that Oracle Safe Harbor applies. Stay tuned for more information about the exact details of 11.2 once it is officially released.
Thank you.
With Essbase remaining at 11.1.2.4, will that version be certified for Windows 2016 and the other 3rd party certifications mentioned?
Thank you!
Thanks!
I reached out to the product manager and below are his responses:
Essbase 11.1.2.4 with EPM 11.2 will support the same matrix as 11.2.
11.2 for windows is focusing on Windows 2019. Matrix is finalizing shortly.
Once 11.2 is released, everything will be posted to the matrix regarding support and compatibility.
Thank you.
