EPM Admin: the daily view. Every day.
Know an application is sick before a user does, and run the platform with a smaller, safer team.
Application catalog, health monitoring, troubleshooting from Activity Reports and logs, and no-code batch job workflows for every Oracle EPM application and pod.
What it is
EPM Admin gives the platform owner one morning screen: every application, pod, version, owner and integration in a catalog; health diagnostics with threshold alerts and performance tracked over time; Activity Reports and logs cross-referenced when something slows down; and Batch Job Studio, which turns a plain-English description into a scheduled, logged EPM Automate workflow with production safeguards.
Why it matters
One list of everything
One place that holds a single list of every application, pod, version, owner and integration, with a clear view of which applications have adopted which Oracle release.
Problems found in week one
Cube growth, slow calc scripts and degraded response times surface today as complaints in close week, and finding the cause can take a weekend in Activity Reports. Threshold alerts find them in week one; cross-referenced logs find the cause in hours.
Automation anyone can run
EPM Automate scripting lives with one or two people and production changes have no guardrails. Batch Job Studio lets anyone on the team build, run and schedule jobs safely.
What it does
Catalog
- Every application with KPIs: total, active, open alerts, prod versus non-prod, last sync
- Search, filter, group; export to CSV; discover and bulk-import applications registered in EDMCS
- Application detail: owner, process, dimensions, cubes, jobs, variables, integrations, environments
- Multiple pods (Prod, Dev, Test) with version tracking
- Oracle monthly-update adoption tracker
- Enhancement backlog and issue tracker through Wall of Work and ServiceNow integrations
Insights
- Health check: design and performance diagnostics; Essbase block analysis and tuning recommendations
- Application size growth: data, backups, snapshots
- Essbase BSO and ASO cube statistics with trend drill-down and alert markers
- Adoption: daily, 7-day and 30-day unique users; usage by hour
- Response time, slowest calc scripts and UI actions over 2 seconds, tracked over time and tagged to artifact changes
- Threshold alerts versus yesterday, 7 and 30 days; alert log with resolution history; an explanation for every metric
- Troubleshooting: Activity Reports and logs cross-referenced, so the cause of a slow calc takes hours, not a weekend
Batch Job Studio
- No-code builder for batch scripts using EPM Automate and PowerShell
- Drag-and-drop steps, variables, output passing, on-failure stop, continue or branch
- AI: describe the task in plain English, refine it, see assumptions, missing inputs and warnings
- Generated PowerShell to copy or download; live streaming output and logs
- Production safeguards: type-to-confirm on destructive commands, admins only
- Saved workflows, scheduler, run logs; EPM Cloud and SFTP connections; credentials in Azure Key Vault
Credentials stored in Azure Key Vault. Issues and enhancements are raised in your own systems, such as ServiceNow, not in another queue.
UI actions slower than this are flagged automatically, alongside cube growth, slowest calc scripts and adoption, against thresholds you set. Every alert shows previous versus current value and the percentage change.
How to start
Connect one application and pod. See its health metrics, its first threshold alert, and one recurring admin job rebuilt in Batch Job Studio from a sentence.

With the rest of the suite
The release EPM TestMate validated shows which applications adopted it in the Admin update tracker; the alerts Admin raises become known issues in the EPM CoE Portal.
