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 EPM will not support client or server machines without AVX2 instruction support in the client or server computer's processors. This change will help with further performance improvements. We do not expect this will affect Infor EPM environments 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 upcoming release.

More information about AVX2 instruction support can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions

Application Studio

This release requires the installation of an updated Application Studio client for power users who are working with the application. The client software must be updated before adjusting any existing reports or creating new reports. If the client software is not updated, Application Studio will not allow power users to connect to the Infor EPM business applications. Refer to the "Downloading and installing clients" topic.
