Question:
What is the use of Microsoft .NET Framework in Oracle EPM 11.2.x setup?
Answer:
In Oracle EPM 11.2.x, Microsoft .NET 4.7.2 Framework as provided by Windows Operating System, is REQUIRED ONLY FOR Data Relationship Management (DRM) and SmartView. No other EPM 11.2.x application uses .NET Framework.
For example, if you are using Windows 2019 Server for your EPM 11.2.10 setup, Windows 2019 Server by default comes with IIS 10 and .NET Framework 4.7 installed so you don't even need to install any .NET Framework version manually. But yes, as part of your security vulnerability fixes on the EPM servers, you need to install KBs or Windows updates related to .NET Framework 4.7/4.7.x occasionally.
