Applying This Patch
This section includes important information about applying this patch. All steps assume an upgrade
from Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision 11.1.2.3.700.
Deploying the EAR File
It is recommended to unzip the TaxProvApplication.ear file at a location under $EPM_ORACLE_HOME,for
example: C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\TaxProvisioning\
AppServer\InstallableApps. You must deploy the EAR file to the Application Server used, such as
WebLogic. You can use a batch file to automatically deploy the EAR file. The file is named deploy.bat
and is located in the same Custom UI Components directory as the EAR file.
To update custom screens:
1. From the Custom UI Components directory, open and edit the deploy.properties file.
You must edit the information in this file with your WebLogic Server information.
2. From the Custom UI Components directory, run the deploy.bat file.
3. Restart the Hyperion Financial Management Web Tier service.
Upgrading Application Artifacts
You must upgrade all Tax Provision applications to the artifacts in this patch.
Upgrading rules (TaxProv_Rules.rle) from 11.1.2.3.700 to 11.1.2.3.701:
(This step is required if there are any customizations applied to the provided rule file).
1. Open the TaxProv_Rules.rle rule file distributed with this patch in a text editor.
2. Open the customized rule file in a text editor.
3. Copy the entire custom implementation section including Pre and Post calculation blocks from the
customized rules file. The beginning of the custom implementation section is clearly marked. See
below:
'*******************************************************************
'* Sub routines for custom implementation
'*******************************************************************
Sub Pre_OpenBalances()
'===================================================================
' Method will be called before calling Calculate_OpenBalances sub
'===================================================================
End Sub
Sub Post_OpenBalances()
'===================================================================
' Method will be called after calling Calculate_OpenBalances sub
'===================================================================
End Sub
4. Replace the custom implementation section in the provided rules file with the copied section from
your customized rules file.
5. Modifications to the provided rules outside the custom implementation section are not supported
and will be lost during the upgrade.
Upgrading Member Lists (TaxProv_Memberlist.lst) from 11.1.2.3.700 to
11.1.2.3.701:
Apply any customizations that you previously made to the provided member list file.
