EPM Cloud Monthly Updates will resume from April 2026 (26.04)
Summary:
In previous notifications (see EPM Announcements Related to Monthly Updates), Oracle announced a temporary pause of EPM Cloud monthly updates for versions 25.11 (production), 25.12, and 26.01, with plans to resume the regular update cadence in February 2026 (26.02).
Following a status review of the fixes for customer reported Essbase 21c issues so far, we are revising the EPM Cloud monthly update schedule across all environments:
The updated 26.04 rollout schedule is as follows:
- Test environments: April 3, 2026
- Production environments: April 17, 2026
As there will be no 26.02 or 26.03 updates, no EPM Automate skip update commands are required for those updates. In addition, if you wish to opt out of the 26.04 update, you cannot self-initiate a skip update for 26.04. Instead, you should submit a Service Request (SR) following the documentation at
