Customer action required

This topic describes items where the customer must take action.

Infor d/EPM business applications

This release requires your Infor d/EPM administrator to update applications using the Manage Applications widget as described in the "Updating commercial applications" topic. This step must be completed before users attempt to access Infor d/EPM. If this step is not finished, then errors are displayed and access is blocked.

Word Integration

Customers who use Word Integration for the first time must enable Office Integration. See "Enabling Office Integration in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word".

Relational modeling permissions

In a forthcoming version, security will be applied in relational modeling that will affect existing ION API calls and Application Engine processes. You must ensure that processes, ION API calls, and workflows that run load queries and SQL scripts in relational modeling are run under user accounts that have the View Relational Objects permission.

Hardware support

Starting with the 2023.02 release, Infor d/EPM will not support client machines without AVX2 instruction support in the client computer's processors. This change will help with further performance improvements. We do not expect this will affect Infor d/EPM client machines as AVX2 was introduced in 2013 and generally supported on all modern environments. We recommend you check with your IT team to make sure the system is ready for the upcoming release.
