Today, let’s continue exploring REST requests related to EDM. Have a read of part 1 here. We are now going to look at the next steps that we need to follow to complete our request process. Upload a File EDM in its current form requires an Excel spreadsheet, to be used for requests. This makes……
Today, I thought we’d look at a new series which covers the Enterprise Data Management REST APIs. There is always a need to integrate with master data management tools like Enterprise Data Management (EDM), and so far, “EPM Automate” does not offer all the full-blown functionalities that REST does, in my perspective. I am sure……
I needed to do a follow-up to last week’s quarantine post. I thought today, we’d do a quick little post on how EPM Cloud REST functionality has changed, for the better, over the last few months. Last year, I did a KScope presentation with my friend, William Andreelli (who sometimes writes on this blog, and……
I had to take my mind off the happenings in the world for a bit, and thought what better to do, than code. It’s a terrible time for everyone, and this is just a coping mechanism for me. I hope this series does NOT become a regular feature. As readers may know, I am a……
I’ve always been a big proponent of REST and REST-based integrations as it relates to the EPM stack, or indeed, to any cloud solution. Here is some sample content that illustrates this. When you use the (E)PBCS REST API (or any EPM API, for that matter), one issue that crops up, is how to mask……
I thought we’d look at another example of using OIC seamlessly with your EPM cloud integrations. Today, we’ll look at how to “POST” or submit updates to your PBCS application. In this case, we’ll be updating a substitution variable from OIC. The integration setup steps are similar to what we’ve done in previous posts (I……
In this post, we will apply the finishing touches to our integration. You can find the earlier parts here and here. One of the things you also need to set up on your integration, is a tracking parameter. This is a mandatory step, and can be done from the Tracking page. I just used the……
This post continues on from an earlier one, which can be found here. From a blank canvas, we can just drag and drop the REST connection from the Invokes palette on the right. On the wizard that opens up, you get the option to specify which REST command you would like to execute. To get substitution variables from……
It’s been a while since my last post. So, I thought we’d look at something a bit different. Recently, I got my hands on an Oracle Integration Cloud instance. I wanted to see what it could do for EPM developers. While Oracle offers excellent videos on getting up to speed with the tool, it always……
These days, I find myself working with on-premises applications quite a bit. So, once in a while, it is refreshing to look at what Planning’s cloud counterpart can do. One of my absolute favorite features that Oracle has rolled out over the last few years is the advent of the REST APIs. I thought I’d……
Now that the KScope hangover is done with, I thought we’d look at another example of how REST with Groovy works. Today, we will look at another example using the HPCM REST API; this one deals with executing tasks, such as running rulesets. While our earlier example used the “GET” method, we now will be……
Today, I wanted to post a little addendum to our earlier post on Groovy and REST. We’ll take a look at how you can further extend your integration capabilities, by adding ODI to your Groovy > REST calls. You might have noticed Groovy on ODI and wondered how you might use it. To access ODI’s……
One of the most important things that Oracle has come up with recently, is extending the capabilities of EPM products, using various REST APIs (Representational State Transfer). For instance, PBCS has a REST API that can be used to run business rules, or load data using these API calls. So does BICS. Recently, Oracle also……
