Up until last week, clients kept asking me if there was a way to get to the drill through reports without having to leave the excel world. Up until now, most of my clients leveraging Data Management wanting to run a drill through report needed to: find the desired cell to run the drill through……
Today’s post is a quick one where we discuss how to migrate applications from one Cloud environment to another. The latest version of Essbase on OAC, makes this process quite simple. I am not going to go through any of the scripted options on how to do this in this post, but focus mainly on……
The September patch update for OAC brought a few cool little features which might be of interest to Essbase users. I thought today, we’d take a look at some of them. In this post, we will look mainly at changes from the Essbase console. I will devote a post to some of the behind the……
Last week, Test pods have been gifted with the latest PBCS update. Let’s see what September 2019 brings to PBCS. Welcomed new features: Data Management: Drilling down from Summary members. Before this update drill through via Data Management only supported drill through at level 0. Apparently now we can drill from summary members and Drill is limited……
Carrying on in our series about new features on Essbase Cloud, I wanted to take a look at some of the other features that are now available in the so-called Modern interface. Specifically, the “Analyze” and “Inspect” features. First off, if you wanted to toggle between the “Classic” (not sure why you would want to,……
That took a while!! Sorry for not posting sooner, but I’d been distracted with KScope for the last couple of months. We had 2 presentations (you can find the content here and here), and it was a blast. I thought today, I’d come up with a short post, introducing some cool new functionality that is……
After creating a new attribute dimension in PBCS/EPBCS, I tried leveraging it in a Business Rule right away but surprisingly the rule wouldn’t validate without throwing the following error “Error:The dimension needs to be a text attribute dimension” Supposedly, the new text attribute dimension isn’t being recognized as a text attribute dimension. It’s not a big issue……
My last post was almost a year ago. I have been tied up on pretty large projects and never got a chance to find time to share some more insights on the daily issues we may encounter. I have been trying to stay away from the cloud as I felt it wasn’t quite there yet compared to……
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……
Today, let’s look at a type of external connection, which is seldom used, in my experience. We will be looking at running exports to an FTP site in this post. To illustrate, I’ve set up an FTP site on hostedftp.com (excellent cloud FTP provider). You could also be using your organization’s FTP server. In this……
I thought today we’d take a look at whether it would be possible to do an entire post on record separators, and how they apply to ODI! Be still, my beating heart! Yes, this has all the potential of being one of the most exciting posts I’ve put up. So anyways, let’s get to it.……
I’ve always wanted to put together a post about DRM’s audit capabilities. I feel this particular feature might be a bit underused. Nonetheless, it does offer up a number of possibilities. So, here is the first in a series that I will update periodically on this feature. Recently, I was asked whether it was possible……
Hyperion planning users sometimes, when running a business rule that require some kind of selection through a runtime prompts window will complain that the OK and Cancel button are not displayed on their screen, as seen below. The runtime prompt window is too big for their screen resolution, so those buttons don’t show up and users……
So here is a quick post for using DRM with Internet Explorer 8+. Now I never use IE when I am in development mode. It’s usually Firefox for me. But a lot of times, there are folks who have to use IE, because it’s the corporate standard (In 2016, it’s hard to see why, to……
It’s been a few months since my last post. In this post, I will detail the step (in Windows and Unix) to encrypt a password (using the PasswordEncryption utility) in order to use it with planning utilities, like for example the outline utility. This post will be the first one of a series that will end on with loading……
