Incorrect Documentation on Managing Help Content

When you click the Manage Help Content link in a help window, you open the Manage Help
Content page in a new browser tab. However, in the Oracle Applications Cloud Configuring
and Extending Applications guide, the Help Content Management chapter indicates that a
Manage Help Content dialog box opens up instead. This dialog box is not available. The
documentation, including the Adding Help to Help Windows video, describes the wrong UI,
but you can still use the Manage Help Content page to add and edit help for the help window.
Resolution
No resolution.

2. Navigate to the Manage Chart of Accounts Structure setup task.
b. Click Deploy Flexfield.
c. Verify the deployment was successful by checking the results in the Deployment Status
column.
3. Run the following processes from the Scheduled Processes work area in the order listed:
a. Create Rules XML File for BI Extender Automation: Run this process for all GL balances
cubes that you need in Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence.
b. Import Oracle Fusion Data Extensions for Transactional Business Intelligence

Parameters Missing when Running an Oracle Transactional

Business Intelligence Analysis from Financial Reporting
Center
When you create an Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence analysis and run it from the
Financial Reporting Center, you cannot specify the parameters for the analysis.
Resolution
Create an Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence dashboard instead of an analysis, and run
the dashboard from the Financial Reporting Center. Or, run the analysis from the BI Catalog.
Oracle Reference: 24427607

Using Tree-Based Accounting Segment Dimensions Requires

Tree Filters
Within Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence, Accounting Segment Dimensions such as
Balancing segment or Cost Center segment are based on the Chart of Accounts configuration.
These segments can be configured to be tree-enabled, which means that hierarchies are
defined upon the segment values for rollup purposes.
In such scenarios, you must filter by a specific hierarchy when performing ad-hoc queries
against tree-based accounting segments. Incorrect results may occur if tree filters are not
applied.
To apply tree filters, create a filter condition on Tree Filter attributes in Accounting Segment
Dimensions.
Oracle Reference: No Bug Number
