Using the Groovy script we can invoke the following REST API provided by an Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management system. Calculate Model - Runs the calculation on a given point of view in a selected cube. Clear Data By Point of View - Clears the data for a given point of view in a selected cube. Copy Data by Point of View - Copies data from a source to a destination point of view in a selected cube. Delete Point of View - Deletes the data associated with a point of view from the calculation cube. Generate Model Documentation Report - Generates an Enterprise Profitability and Co ..read more

The requirement is to extract data from an ASO Cube from a EPM Cloud application to a .csv file, while also including the Process ID and the extraction date from the TDATASEG table. I will not cover the steps to extract data from ASO cube, we will see how to extract the Process ID and the date it was ran using the TDATASEG_T. The TDATASEG table serves as a repository for both the data provided by users and the transformations applied during the mapping process, capturing the relationships between original source dimension members and their resultant mappings. During the process it invo ..read more

At a high level we know to connect to SQL Server using JDBC in the EPM Integration Agent, you need to follow these general steps: Download the JDBC Driver: First, you need to download the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server from the official Microsoft website. Make sure to choose the appropriate version of the driver that matches your SQL Server version and Java version. Install the JDBC Driver: Once downloaded, extract the JDBC driver files from the downloaded package and place them in a location accessible to your EPM Integration Agent. This could be a directory on your system or within ..read more

This time, A different scenario was accomplished using the Groovy by one of my teammates. I thought of sharing here. The requirement is to populate the Long-range planning and the rule will perform an action if the OEP_Plan (budget) is selected in the RTP and a different action if OEP_Actual (actual) is selected in the RTP. In this scenario, we utilized Groovy known for its flexibility and simplicity, was employed to implement the necessary logic and actions based on these selections. Groovy's dynamic nature and concise syntax likely made it well-suited for handling such conditional tasks e ..read more

 In the Part -1  we saw how to add a new row for a New Product or a Customer using the Calculation Manager rule. In this post, we will see how to do the same using the Groovy rule.  This is the data from where add a row option is enabled, Column A is hidden and the rest of the column will be visible. The actual form is shown below,  A Menu "Groovy Add a Row" is added to the Form. Invoking the Menu triggers a Groovu Rule and you can pick the combination you want to populate for, For example, the specific Product and customer where you would be interested in enteri ..read more

 In this blog, let's discuss how to address the requirements of entering data into a New Product or a Customer in a Data From exists in the PBCS or EPBCS application where the Suppress missing data for Rows or Suppress Missing data for Columns are enabled. Or the data does not exist for that combination but the users want a provision to enter the data for that specific combination.  During the Budget or the Forecast, the users might want to enter data for a combination that never had any historical data.  It is a general best practice the Data Forms will be enabled with the foll ..read more

Continuation of my Part-1 post Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It provides a robust framework for managing clusters of containers across multiple hosts, allowing organizations to efficiently run and scale their applications. To understand Kubernetes better, let's consider a real-time example of an e-commerce application: Suppose an e-commerce company wants to deploy its application using Kubernetes. Here's how Kubernetes can help: Containerization: The appli ..read more

In this blog series i am going to talk about my fun project which is leveraging Oracle OCI to connect to Oracle EPM and invoke EPM components to perform multiple compute/analytical operation using the REST API. Before that we see a brief introduction to Oracle OCI. Introduction to Oracle OCI Global Infrastructure:   Example: An e-commerce company wants to expand its operations to the Asia Pacific region. Oracle OCI offers multiple data centers strategically located in countries like Singapore, Australia, and Japan. The company can choose to deploy its application in the Singapore d ..read more

It happened that some of the module-based artifacts were missing/accidentally deleted and we were finding a way to restore them. As a user of Oracle Enterprise Performance Budgeting and Planning Cloud Service (EPBCS), you may want to restore the out-of-box artifacts that were delivered with your EPBCS instance. In this blog, we will see how to systematically restore artifacts related to the EPBCS module's process of restoring the out-of-box artifacts for the EPBCS modules. You can use the Enable Features option to restore the missing Out of Box (OOB) artifact for the module in question ..read more

In this second part of the blog, let's explore how to reuse the same Calculation Manager Groovy rule by attaching the rule to multiple data forms to perform different actions in each data form. The Groovy Calculation Manager rule is dynamic, it gets the account member from the data form, and depending on the selected account member the rule will perform a specific calculation.  We can use the same rule and attach it to multiple Data forms.  Let's see how the rule looks, // Capture the edited periods and products Set<String> editedMembers = [] operation.grid.dataCellIterato ..read more
