Will your Cloud EPM scheduled jobs still sign in?

Cloud EPM changes login-name compatibility in 26.11 and EPM Automate client/password-file compatibility in 26.12. Older job configurations need checking before the relevant environment update.

Cloud EPMCompatibility change
Why it matters

Affected scheduled jobs may fail to authenticate, interrupting close, reconciliation or data loads.

First step

List client versions, username formats and the jobs that use each .epw file before changing shared credentials.

Suggested owner

Cloud EPM automation owner

Who should check?

Organizations using Cloud EPM EPM Automate or REST jobs with account-prefixed usernames, clients older than 26.09, or legacy encrypted password files. This is not a general NetSuite ERP deadline.

Published milestones

  1. 26.11 — November updateAccount-prefixed usernames cease to be accepted by affected login interfaces.
  2. 26.12 — December updateOlder clients and the legacy password-file format are no longer accepted by Cloud EPM.

Check your Oracle account notice before scheduling an update.

What to do next

  • Identify affected jobs, client versions, username formats and any EPM Agent dependency without collecting secrets.
  • Have the authorized credential owner upgrade/test clients and regenerate files in the compatible sequence.
  • Test representative scheduled jobs, alerts and recovery before the environment update; record owner acceptance.

What we’ll review

Environment and client versions; sanitized username-format examples; job/host and owner inventory; password-file generation version without secrets; EPM Agent version where used; actual environment maintenance notices.
