Attention: Oracle EPM Cloud Service Administrators
References: Cloud Customer Connect announcement and Frequently Asked Questions for Monthly Updates
Please be advised that there will be no monthly EPM Cloud Updates in 25.12 and 26.01. Notifications to this effect are being sent out to all Service Administrators.
At Oracle, your success and business continuity are our top priorities. As part of our commitment to delivering the highest quality solutions, we want to keep you informed about the latest updates regarding the monthly releases for your environments.
Recent Update Approach
On November 20, we communicated that the 25.11 monthly update would not be automatically applied to production environments across all EPM business processes. This proactive measure to not update production environments with the 25.11 (November 2025) update was taken after identifying a few application-specific issues with the Essbase 21.7.x version included in the 25.11 update. Even though only sporadic performance and accuracy issues were reported by a few customers, we decided to not apply this monthly update to any production environment by default to ensure we deliver the highest quality software.
To maintain the high standards and reliability that you expect from Oracle—especially during this critical period when many of our customers are engaged in their year-end processes—Oracle has decided to not apply the 25.12 (December 2025) and 26.01 (January 2026) updates as well to all environments (test and production) across all EPM business processes.
What This Means for You:
- Test Environments: By default, your test environments will remain on 25.11.
- Production Environments: Your production environments will continue to run the stable 25.10 update until the upcoming 26.02 update.
