After a bit of a break, I thought I’d change track on some of the things I’ve been posting about recently, and look at some of the functionality offered by Essbase Cloud. Specifically, as it relates to working with the Essbase Command Line Interface (CLI). There are many excellent examples on using this tool on……
Welcome to Part 1 of a multi-part series detailing the creation of some out-of-the-ordinary processes leveraging Hyperion Planning command-line utilities, new (and old) Essbase CDFs and Hyperion Planning back-end repository tables. In this series, we will look at a requirement that arose at a recent client requiring the ability to update security within a Planning……
I often use Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) for automation and ETL processes in the EPM projects I help deliver. ODI is a wonderfully flexible and powerful tool that works incredibly well out of the box. But there are some little tweaks to ODI that I find necessary to resolve some occasional hiccups I encounter. I……

Every wondered if there was a simple way to compare your current EPM version with a planned version upgrade. Some way to see all the cool new features that would come with the new version. Thankfully Oracle has a great online tool that provides a cumulative feature overview between EPM application versions. The tool can……
So, to kick things off, I thought I would start off with a simple post on how to install DRM 11.1.2.4. This will be part 1 of a 2 part series. To start off with, let’s make sure we have the prerequisites ready. Installation Prerequisites Windows 2008 R2 server IIS (Internet Information Services) turned on……
PREREQUISITES Download the ODI install file http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-integrator/downloads/index.html. Make sure you have a Java JDK installed. I used the version seen below. The Oracle support matrix shows any version greater than 1.7.0_55 as supported. I’m not sure if 1.8 is supported though so I stuck with version 7. Note that support for 7 is set to……
