Note:

If Oracle Essbase 21.7.0.0.0 Patch has been applied, you must first apply the 21.7.1 Patch, and then the January 2025 CPU Patch. For more information, see Patch Conflict with 21.7 and January 2025 CPU Patches:

Applying the January 2025 CPU Patch when the 21.7 Patch is already applied, or applying the 21.7 Patch after the January 2025 CPU Patch is applied, results in a patch conflict.

The solution is to first apply the 21.7.1 Patch, and then the January 2025 CPU Patch.

If Oracle Essbase 21.7.0.0.0 Patch (Patch ID: 36675325) has been applied, you need to complete the following steps to apply the January 2025 CPU Patch:

  1. Rollback Oracle Essbase 21.7.0.0.0. For more information, see Patch and Restore.
  2. Apply Oracle Essbase 21.7.1.0.0 Patch (Patch ID: 37418271).
  3. Apply the FMW January 2025 CPU Patch. See Release 21.7.1.0.0 – February 2025 – Independent Deployment (37578313)

Essbase Release Update patches only contain Essbase binaries. Other patches, such as for Fusion Middleware, can be downloaded and applied manually.
