Kscope18 - Here I Come!!!

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

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Contribute enough to become capable of Oracle Ace Associate
  4. Become knowledgeable in Machine Learning (There's so much to it and I would like to start with Machine Learning)
Being able to get selected for ODTUG Kscope18 is one feat as this is going to be my first Kscope. But, being the first person from Genpact is the one which I will cherish for a lifetime. This has been well received by senior management at Genpact and I feel really happy and proud about it. This wouldn't have been possible without ODTUG and the selection committee. I thank them from the bottom of my heart as they have made this a memorable experience to me.

What will I be presenting?


An alternate approach to ASO Calcs - MDX Scripts
This session focus on how you can use MDX queries for calculations. Procedural calcs have been for a very long time and have become the de-facto standard for calculations in ASO. The limitations have been addressed using a mix of MDX member formulas and Procedural calcs
With 11.1.2.4.010 patch, it has become very easy to format the data export from MDX queires. Gary Crisci has done a session at kscope17 titled " I've got an MDX script for that". In this session, I will talk about how you can use this feature and can build calculations using MDX queries. I will also talk about few paragidms / best practices on how you would do in BSO and how you can do the same in ASO

Intro to machine Learning using Oracle Data Viz
This one was a surprise to me as well. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and wanted to present something on which I have started learning during my free time. It's very difficult to keep up with office, family, EPM cloud and Machine Learning. This session focuses on how you can kick start yourself with Machine Learning with Oracle DVD. This session will be about Machine Learning, the Machine Learning process from model building to prediction and steps involved in it and a live demo using Oracle DVD.
Sneak peak!!! Oracle DVD Machine Learning capability uses python. So, if you are familiar / unfamiliar with python, the Machine Learning process and approach will fairly be similar to how you do in Python / any other programming language

See you all at Kscope18!!!

PBCS/EPBCS - ASO exclude shared & Dynamic

As you all are aware that Oracle releases patches to EPM cloud every month (EDMCS is released every 2 months) and the patches are applied on first-week of Friday in Dev and third-week of Friday in Prod I did a post long back about a challenge that I have faced in on-premise and how I have addressed that. New functions were released in Nov-2018 release of PBCS. Below is an excerpt from the readiness document. You can find the document here New Aggregate Storage Functions in Calculation Manager The following Aggregate Storage functions have been added to Calculation Manager. These functions filter the shared and dynamic members from the Point of View (POV). The functions can be used in the POV of an Aggregate Storage custom calculation or allocation. @FilterDynamic(Dimension Name, Member Name) removes all dynamic members from the list of members @FilterShared(Dimension Name, Member Name) removes all shared members from the list of members @FilterSharedAndDynamic(Dime...

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...

Copy Text data (Planning) as Copy Data (DATACOPY) in Essbase...Yes..It works!!!

Yes. You have read it right and I am talking right. There is a saying that if you understand a process end-to-end you open lot of possibilities for improvement / betterment and it suits perfect in this case As the title goes, we all have started our career in Essbase (atleast in my case) and moved to to different other tools. We might have received multiple requests / written different types of calculation scripts where we have to copy a subset of data from one combination to other combination. The real problem comes when a user who is well-versed with Essbase and even knows the technical stuff better comes with a requirement which blows your mind and you had to think / try every single possibility to convince him that this is not possible. The same thing happened with me Background We use planning application for Planning sessions, Yearly Budget and monthly forecast and initially the monthly forecasting in Excel (where they have numbers as well as text) and after moving to Ora...
