Almost every ePBCS application will require the need to run business logic and execute data movements on specific months based on a scenario selected. Almost every Data Form will require action to be taken dynamically based on the selection of the Scenario.

One of the challenges working with grids is validating the results. As with an Essbase calculation, Smart View reports are developed to validate results. The same happens when calculations, or data movement, is executed in Groovy via grids. When the results in Smart View aren’t accurate, where do you go?

If you have used Smart Pushes, you have undoubtedly run into security issues. The PBCS development team is working on a way to bypass this, but there is no release date. If you haven’t run into this, you probably have and didn’t know it. Here is the issue.

Gridbuilders are the link to moving data from BSO to ASO, and ASO to ASO. Gridbuilders can also be used to save calculated results that are executed directly in Groovy. If it jumped into your head, yes, you can completely bypass the Essbase calculation engine. I have a coworker that has done exactly that – […]

Because so many methods in PBCS require parameters that are maps and lists, it is very important to your productivity and effectiveness to understand, use, and be able to manipulate collections. Collections include lists, maps, and ranges. These are based on Java collection types and include a ton of useful methods. This article will cover […]

One of the more surprisingly useful things that can be done in a Groovy calculation is querying metadata. This was discussed in Part 11: Accessing Metadata Properties, but I recently had a situation where users could load data at parent levels and have it allocated down to the bottom of the hierarchies.

Building on the previous post and in the spirit of reusing code, this will expand on the concept by walking through the creation and use of functions in Groovy calculations. Functions have huge value in reducing your Groovy calculations and streamlining development.

Now that you are knee deep in Groovy, help yourself out and reuse common code. The more you learn, the more efficient you will be and will laugh at some of your initial attempts at your Groovy calculations. If you are like me, you get excited about all the possibilities and learn as you go. […]

KScope has concluded, and what a fantastic week it was. I love the years I get the feedback that I have an abstract selected so I can attend. This year, I was awarded Oracle Ace, so it was really nice to be nominated and recognized for my contributions to the community.

I am really excited about the breakout sessions this year. I was asked to be involved in two additional sessions and one of my sessions has been moved. I really hope to see you all in Orlando!
