ESSBASE ANALYTICS LINK “THE SEAMLESS DATA CONNECTOR” BY ORACLE

 

Can we connect all the Dots, in Time and within Budgets? HFM and Essbase have co-existed for quite sometime; and the traditional Data integration tools put in place required development of Extraction, Transformation and Load data processes. However, Oracle Essbase Analytics Link has enabled developers to completely eliminate this effort, thereby reducing time and costs. EAL has also allowed the broad user community to review Management reporting information based on different EPM data-sources in near Real-time

 Explain and Demo EAL capabilities

 Case Study of EAL implementation in a fortune 500 Company

 Comparison between other ETL solutions Vs EAL

 Tips and tricks to optimize performance of EAL bridges

 

 

DEMYSTIFYING ORACLE HYPERION UPGRADE PROJECTS

FREE HYPERION UTILITIES

Yes, there is free lunch! Oracle throws in a bunch of utilities along with Hyperion – e.g. Log Viewer, Audit Extract, Copy Application, Extended Analytics Template Copy, Application Year Update, HFM Tool Box, Rules Managers and many others. Learn all about these free utilities. Or why not write your own? For example, with a little knowledge of VBA, and a little database, you can write a utility to go through entire EPM application, the rule files and scripts to search for a string.

 Explain and demonstrate EPM utilities

 How to write a utility using VBA

 Common VBA functions

 Database tables for EPM repository

 Tips and tricks for writing powerful utilities

 

SECURITY BEST PRACTICES FOR HYPERION

An EPM implementation involves a large number of components – ranging from Source System Data Adapters, Staging Area, ETL Tools, Databases, Flat Files, EPM suit and downstream systems. This paper attempts to expose various security holes and governance issues that lie in this landscape. It discusses best practices to avoid pitfalls whether you have a large team, or a small team with limited resources, and a methodology to conduct an IS security audit to ensure air tight EPM System.

 Security Best Practices for architecting, deploying and operating an enterprise wide EPM System

 How to secure your data, meta-data, reports and other artifacts

 Discuss possible security holes in an EPM System architecture

 Checklists and Methodology to conduct IS Security audit

 Tips to ensure Segregation of Duty and Data Governance
