EPM Cloud Tips & Tricks - #1

The first EPM cloud product was released in 2014 and it's been six years till date. I was recently part of an FCCS implementation project. I know what you might be thinking. Coming from completely essbase and planning background and been working on it for almost 12 years and doing an FCCS project? Well, it turned out that way and it was a change for me too than being in my comfort zone and took it as a challenge.  I have been very busy for over the past one year and I didn't really had a chance or time to get back to my blogging and sharing my knowledge. The project finally went live and I am going to share my bit of learnings.

OAC - New Interface

At ODTUG Kscope18 , Oracle has revealed new features and groundbreaking updates that are going to come in the next release in OAC. Have you ever wondered what it's going to be I was so excited that I kicked-off the promotional offer and fired up my OAC instance.

I don't know if that is the right way to call it but that's what it says when you fire up the OAC instance new interface Less clutter and wa...

OAC - Switch Classic to Modern - Trick

Back to back posts today. But, I am excited and wanted to share this cool hack....Not sure if anyone has figured it out.... I did a blogpost on OAC new / modern interface and few features that I really liked. You can find my blogpost here . A good friend (became friends at Kscope18) Vijay Kurian  posted in his blog at theunlockedcube  about the Essbase Cloud features Part I and Part II and he has shown how to switch from classic interface to modern interface For some reason it didn't work for me in the pormotional OAC instance that I was using. However, I was able to switch based on what I poseted in my previous blogpost In general If you want to switch from Classic to Modern, follow the below screenshot However, for some reason that didn't work for me and I didn't knew why What I did might sound pretty silly but now I have the whole new Modern Interface that i can use without having to rely on the Deep Dive environment that I was using earlier. (That's Ora...
