Expanding the horizon of ways that Essbase developers can perform multi-threaded calculations. I recently finished a project at client that had some stellar Exalytics machines chock full of CPUs and……
This is the last in a series of posts related to deriving metadata from HFM’s backed tables. The earlier posts can be found here and here. It will be a short post and I’ve put it together mainly for the sake of completeness. Today, we will look at the Entity dimension. A quick look at EPMA……
Today’s post is just a quick follow up to the last one, on using HFM dimension tables. The disclaimers from the last post still apply. We will be looking at additional code to generate the dimension extracts from HFM’s Account tables. As mentioned in the last post, the accounts dimension has additional attributes and additional……
