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……
2/3 of the unlocked cube team was at Kscope19 with 2 awesome sessions… (at least we think so) Maybe next year the full team will be together! (we missed you Pete!) Anyway, during our sessions we were asked if we were going to share the videos we were showing since the pdf you can download……
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……
The examination into practical uses of Essbase in the cloud continues today, with a look at a peculiar issue that crops up with the Essbase Command Line Interface (cli). Have a look at an earlier post which briefly looks at using cli with Essbase here. Oracle highly recommends securing your OAC URLs with SSL certificates……
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……
I wanted to go over a scenario that arises when you have enterprise licensing for ODI and how this relates to authentication. Specifically, when ODI is authenticated externally. Now, this is not something that most of us EPM developers are used to, but this is standard when BIAPPS is set up. Normally, we would just……
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……
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……
Today, I’d like to review how we can quickly and easily setup Security in a Planning application using the Import & Export Utilities, as well as a custom Excel VBA template. Before anything else, I should probably explain or remind some basics about Planning security. Why do we need to setup security and how is security……
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……
