I don’t normally write up monthly updated, but this month there are a number of intriguing changes/updates/enhancements that are important to know. Some may change existing processes. This is not an exhaustive list, but these are things I think all of us should take note of.

I am currently working on a migration of on-premise to cloud project (going GREAT by the way). One of the things we are working on is the change with the data integration. One of the processes loads the number of working days to the application from a source that provides it. “Why not use Groovy,” […]

I know many people complain that the same speakers present every year. I can tell you I get rejected more than I get accepted. The last few years ODTUG added the option for members to vote on speaker abstracts. I want to thank all of you that voted for me because the only reason I […]

To date, we have talked about the performance improvements Groovy introduces, as well as the creative validation we can add. One thing that hasn’t been covered yet is the ability to add functionality to make the input easier for a planner. Replicating changes through the months, resetting the values back to the defaults, and many […]

Manipulating dates is not something you may think is that useful, but there are a number of things that we have done in the past that are slow performing in Essbase, and others that were not possible or you may not have ever thought of. This is going to walk visitors through ways to manipulate […]
