EDMCS is Here!!!

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 is no exception. I personally learned a lot about Oracle EPM cloud tools though I do not have access to many of them. "Get Started" will be your starting point.
If you are unsure of how you would get more out of the videos and documents, follow my instructions below


Overview : Take a look at the overview / tour of EDMCS (link here) to get a view of what EDMCS is and what you can do with EDMCS

The document is organized in a way that you can navigate based on the list of tasks that you will be performing in EDMCS. Below is the order of tasks that you would be performing with EDMCS and it is worth to explore each step one by one


Click on "Configure Applications" and take a look at the Getting Started section

In contrast to DRM, EDMCS follow an application based approach

You have to create an application first followed by dimensions, nodes and required properties
Thanks to Oracle EPM cloud team for adding the PBCS and EPBCS directly (Can't ) as the application type. You can also select the "Custom" and define a custom application.

I would have to explore more to understand the terminology that is used here
Information Model, Data Chain, Viewpoints are few things which came across while looking at the document
I am not a DRM expert and have to connect back with my folks to get a more deeper understanding of how it works in EDMCS

If you have already explored EDMCS, I would appreciate if you can give more information about it. Till then, Happy Learning!!!

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. 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...

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...

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. Some of it you might alread know The first tip is going to be an easy one and those who have worked in FDMEE / Data Management in the cloud, you might already know it. But, this is very important when it comes to FCCS as zeroes are valid from Balance Sheet standpoint Data Management by default doesn't load zeroes. Below is a excerpt from the document...
