A powerful method named getEvaluatedMembers() can be used in a Groovy business rule to fetch members from the system depending on various relationships to the current member. We can retrieve members based on below conditions. There aren’t a lot of resources available right now. I therefore decided to make a cheat sheet for quick reference.…
Recently, a very typical request from business asking for the YTD data export to a file for an external integration. Although it seemed like a very simple request, the challenges we ran into are described below. We have decided to try with two options: Because I hadn’t yet looked at Groovy’s transformer function, we went…
One of my coworkers recently asked if there was a simple way to extract all the smart lists connected to members. The idea was to remove all unused smart lists. I could not do it in one step since smart lists might be associated with any member from any dimension. I don’t want to download…
Parallel execution can be accomplished in a planning application in a variety of methods. One of the most effective methods is to build a rule set with a parallel or serial tag. Parallel execution and error handling are automatically handled by the system. Since there is no coding required, I would always choose the rule…
The idea is to come up with an approach to move the “daily maintenance” window if the current rule is going to take longer than anticipated and eventually collide with the maintenance window. I choose to use the REST API to execute the business rule since it gives me the option to check other things while the…
I’ve been curious about how easy it was to use externally fully trained ML models in planning apps ever since Oracle released Bring Your Own Machine Learning in EPM. For those who have no past experience with Machine Learning, Given the massive knowledge base already available on the internet, getting started is pretty simple. ML…
The majority of us executes groovy rules in ‘Run Before Save’ operation to check if user-entered data fits all of the validation requirements. If the data does not meet the conditions, we have the option to cancel the ‘Save’ action. We’ll utilize the same “Run Before Save” groovy business rules and perform simple calculations on…
Without uploading the data into the system, there are few methods for validating the data file to see if all of its records are going to be loaded or not without rejections. This type of validation is frequently carried out on a local server by comparing members to downloaded meta data csv files. I’d want…
This is a more in-depth look at how to use REST APIs to send emails from Calculations Manager. Please go to the send email post before reading any further if you are not sure how its done. I experienced an issue while sending an email from Calculation Manager; whenever a special character or multi-lines appear…
EPM Groovy’s focused calculations based on the edited cells from the web forms are one of the most utilized features so far. But for focused calculation to work, the cells need to be edited so that groovy can identify the members for which it needs to execute the calculation. Oracle has recently provided an option…
