The December updates for Oracle's Account Reconciliation Cloud Service (ARCS) are here. In this blog post, we’ll outline new guidelines for on-prem to cloud migration, fixed defects, and considerations.
We’ll let you know any time there are updates to ARCS or any other Oracle EPM cloud products. Check the US-Analytics Oracle EPM & BI Blog every month.
The monthly update for Oracle ARCS will occur on Friday, December 15 during your normal daily maintenance window.
Account Reconciliation Cloud no longer supports migration of snapshots from the latest service version to an earlier service version (for example, when moving snapshots between test and production pods during the window when test is upgraded before production.)
Migration between the same versions will still be supported. Some objects, such as Profiles, may still be moved from the latest to an earlier version outside of migration snapshots by exporting them from the latest service version and importing them into the earlier version.
This update allows you to migrate your Hyperion Financial Close Management (FCM) module, Account Reconcililation Manager (ARM), to ARCS.
Information for getting started with EPM cloud services are now available for Service Admins and end users. The new guides include:

In early calendar year of 2018, the method of accessing the Reconciliation List, Transaction List, and Profiles List will not be available. Enhancements that were made to the Reconciliation Compliance user interface several months ago created a more intuitive and improved user experience to things like Reconciliation, Transaction and Profile list views, as well as managing reports and the common use of a filter bar across multiple EPM Cloud products. These enhancements will replace the old method to give you quick and easy navigation.
