All about During daily maintenance!!! During daily maintenance in Oracle EPM Cloud, the system creates a maintenance snapshot, applies patches, adjusts configurations, and analyzes activities to generate an Activity Report. The environment is then rebooted, with initial access limited to Service Administrators. Certain operations are restricted during this period, especially for processes like Planning and Financial Consolidation. Maintenance usually starts between 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. local time and a 15-minute notice is given before maintenance begins. The process typically takes less ..read more

  Find and Download Files from an Oracle EPM Cloud Environment In this Blog lets see the example script to automate the process of downloading files from an Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud environment using a text string as a wildcard. This script matches the string specified in the FILENAME parameter with file names displayed using the listfiles command, then automatically downloads the matching files. Ensure you set the appropriate search string to the FILENAME parameter. For example, FILENAME="Scheduler Output/epm" will match file names containing "Scheduler Output ..read more

 In this Blog post we will explore the Clear Cube & Merge Data Slices option in Planning and can be leveraged to EPCM applications using the REST API & Groovy Clear Cube The Clear Cube can be accessed from the Simplified Interface.  It does allow to Create a “Clear Cube” job in this screen where you can select the Cube you want to clear the data. It does have the options on what needs to be cleared? & The Clear Options   Lets see the option on how to invoke the Clear Cube using the REST API.  The Clear Cube job deletes the data you specify wi ..read more

In this blog we will see how to run the EPCM (Enterprise Performance Management Cloud)  Calculation Manager rules using groovy in a sequential manner also invoking Data Management rules as child jobs using the jobFactory. Groovy script is fetching substitution variable values from an operation's application and printing them. Here's a detailed explanation along with the provided script:  subVarValue is defined to fetch the value of a substitution variable from the application. Also Sets the connection name, which is already predefined for the REST API to work.  def connectionNa ..read more

User variables function as filters within forms, allowing users to narrow their focus to specific members, like a department. Prior to linking a user variable to a form, you need to establish the user variable. When designing forms with user variables, users are required to initially designate values in preferences for the variable prior to accessing the forms. Subsequently, users can modify the variable within the form only if it's dynamic. If not, they must persist in setting the variable in preferences. For instance, if a user variable named "Cost Center" is created, users must designate ..read more

In this blog we will see how to run multiple Rules of Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management (EPCM) using Groovy in Sequential and proceed with the next rule only after completion the previous rule.   /**************************************************************************************/ /*                  Run IC Calcs All Region                             ..read more

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
