REST API is not something new in Oracle EPM world when it was nunvieled and what runs behind most of the Oracle EPM product portfolio and that is the direction what Oracle says and probably you should hear it and start looking in to it When OAC was released in March 2017 and when I took a look at it three months later, I always wondered if there were REST API's that powers EssCli and I was right. Oracle at Sunday Symposium did mention that and showed a demo of how the REST API's can be used for dynamic data loading and I was thrilled. I was even thrilled when my good friend Vijay Kurian gave a session on Essbase REST API. You can download his presentation once it is available for everyone from ODTUG . Being a presenter and attendee, we get early access to the presentations and I feel so much previleged about it If you want to get started right away and want to go and look at the documentation, it's not available yet. This is where it becomes difficult to know what al

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

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. But, I was surprised and felt sad after looking at the instance that is in public cloud and the instance that is going to come in the next release. Not sure if I am missing anything here which will enable me to access the newer interface / newer instance The new interface looks sleek and looks a lot better than the previous interface. I am using the instance as parts of Hands-On lab at ODTUG Kscope18. Not sure till when this environment will be available. I will update this blog and make it more comparitive with what is available right now in public cloud New JET UI. 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

I had few hiccups while setting up my OAC instance. Learned a lot from these mistakes and would always recommend to read the document first and understand the pre-requisites before you get your OAC up and running There are various blog posts that talk about how you can get started with OAC. The blogs that helped me to get started are Blog 1  (blog post at Rittman Mead and this post also has information about how to setup the https for your OAC instance) and  Blog 2  (This particular blog helped me with the access rules that need to be enabled to get things to work) Apart from these, the two things where I was stuck and probably would help others if you face the same issue Even though I have created DBaaS and have started the service, my OAC still pop-up with the message that the pre-requisites are not met. All I did was to open up the ports (http, https, dbconsole, dblistener) and post that I was able to create the OAC instance. From your From your Dashboard, do as shown

Sometimes there would be a phase in your life, where you have to break all your limits and have to have confidence in your ability to move forward I took the decision in 2018 that I will break and go beyond my limits and I am surprised by the results. Here are a few achievements that I have Applied at AIDP (Artificial Intelligence Development Programme) at Genpact. a 6-months program to jumpstart the career in AI. Unfortunately, I couldn't get selected in the first round. Would be applying again at the end of this year Mentored students at SmartCity Hackathon at Vardhaman College in the Semi-Final stage which is organized by Telangana Government.

You might have heard what MOOC is. If you Don't, Its called Massive Open Online Courses. With platforms like KhanAcademy, Stanford Online, Coursera, edX, Udacity, Udemy becoming mainstream and providing valuable education to the needy for those who cannot afford a university education. A platform like these have provided various courses in many categories Following the same lines, Oracle Developer Community has launched few MOOC's and the one that is very interesting to me is the Oracle Intelligent Bot Service. I am pretty packed up right now and would probably take some time for me to take a deep dive into it If you are interested, below are the resources that can help you started Oracle MOOC in Intelligent Bots:  course link Get started with chatbots:  http://www.ateam-oracle.com/getting-started-with-chatbots/ Chatbot podcast:  Part 1  |  Part 2 A Primer: Oracle Intelligent bots:  PDF Link Develop and Deploy your first bot:  PDF Link Oracle developer blog on chat

I got to know about ODTUG from 2009 and have been following it since then. Every year Kscope happens, I assure myself that someday I will present but T didn't had the confidence in myself to dare and submit an abstract. What If it won't get selected I have decided to myself that this year, I will overcome that fear in myself and work on four things that will enhance and improve my career Submit an abstract to Kscope18. I have submitted two abstracts and both of them got selected and I thank ODTUG selection committee from the bottom of my heart to give an opportunity to be present. I will try my best to do justice for the opportunity that you have given to me Continue blogging. I took a break for two years when my wife became pregnant in 2015 to take care of her and followed by taking care of my wife and daughter. The first year was really tough handling the kid by ourselves and decided to dedicate completely to my family Contribute enough to become capable of Oracle Ace

When Oracle decided to push Oracle EPM to Cloud, it was a very big decision. There were always questions in my mind back then whether it will be an integrated platform “Oracle EPM Cloud” or it will be individual EPM product components. I didn’t have a clear picture / vision but I was definitely sure that having an integrated platform might work for big organizations who have most of the EPM products in place. But, cloud is different. You need to be a differentiator, competitor and yet provide all the needed functionality. Most organizations are faced with the challenge of not just Cost but also Fast and Quick. Q: How quick can I get on to the Cloud? A: Immediate. Sign a deal, choose the number of users and you are up Q: How quick can I have my application in the cloud A: As-is, within a week / two all the basic functionality. Keep in mind that if you are using Workforce/Capital/Project planning and have customized it to your needs, it would take time Q: How secure i

For all those folks who worked / working in DRM and have been waiting to see the EDMCS in the cloud. It's here Every time, I look at cloud.oracle.com I always see the "COMING SOON". See below I don't see it today. I believe it's officially launched. I am not the first one to spot. I would like to give Juan  the credit for his tweet . Click on the " Quick Tour " on the right side to see a few slides of what EDMCS is all about There is no Pricing tab along with "Overview", "Features" and "Learn More". I would expect that this is available for the very few privileged and may be open for everyone in due course of time (I have no idea when that is going to me) I don't see the documentation link under "Learn More". Thankfully, I was able to dig a little and able to find the documentation here . This will be your starting point Oracle is doing a great job providing lot of video tutorials and EDMCS
