Yesterday, I came across something really random, but very GOOD TO KNOW. We were trying to configure the new forecast in our EPBCS application using the configuration wizard. The Configure tools are really quite handy. Especially if you have many modules to maintain. For example, in the picture below, you can use the Planning and … More EPBCS Unable to Configure My Forecast Year
It’s hotter than hades in Texas right now. In order to keep some of my sanity, I’m focusing on the glorious season of FALL, and with that comes our beloved season of Football (Guns up!) Since the EPM Cloud July update was released, there were some really strange things going on. I know my client wasn’t … More EPM July Update – My Hail Mary
Every time something stops working in the Cloud, I truly feel like I’m in a glass case of emotion. With that said…..since the last FCCS update, some FCCS instances have had issues with their currency translations. NEVER FEAR! There is a workaround. Here are the steps: Navigate to Variables Select Substitution Variables Change the c … More FCCS Currency Translation Doesn’t Work
Are your power users unable to post journals since Friday, Jan 19th, 2019? There is a new, unpublished bug that removes all provisioning for non-admin users. “29217029 – FCCS – Power Users are unable to submit journals.” Oracle’s work around is to have an admin post all of the entries. Not idea, but the only … More Jan/19 Update – FCCS Journal Entry Bug
First of all, I must state that this table and I have major issues. It does not play well with others, especially if something gets out of whack. (of course there’s a story) A few weeks ago, something happened in one of my client’s environment, and we couldn’t run any WFP rules. I kept getting … More EPBCS SL_Aliases Table
In the November Cloud update, Oracle released a new business rule in FCCS to clear empty member blocks. This SHOULD somewhat help perfmance. I haven’t tested it myself, but I’m certainly crossing my fingers. It’s fairy easy to do from the web. Select your scenario, Year(s), and Period(s). But, what if you want to automate … More FCCS ClearEmptyBlocks
If you are new to the Oracle EPM and Essbase Cloud world, make note that change is a’comin’. It comes monthly. Maybe more often. And it comes whether you want it to or not. You can log out of PBCS one day and log back into PBCS to see new tiles, tiles moved, new dimension … More Monthly Cloud Updates
I was asked today what the limit was for journal descriptions in FCCS. I searched and could only find the 255 limit for HFM. I reached out to our very smart group of co-workers, and come to find out, it is also 255 for FCCS! So there you go! Now it’s out there for all … More Journal Description Limit in FCCS
I worked with the other Schwartberg (Ross, not Glenn. Which, by the way, are both equally smart) on another issue a few weeks ago. A client asked him to create a script to push Private Smart View Connections to each user. You see, if you share workbooks and don’t have the EXACT Smart View connection, … More Pushing Smart View Private Connections to Users
I’ve worked with Smartview and the Essbase add-in since the beginning of time. Literally. Remember when you had to rebot after every single install or uninstall? Good times. I’ve been working with OAC (for those that are newbies to the Oracle world, OAC stands for Oracle Analytics Cloud) and Excel 2013. I was having some … More Smartview won’t uninstall
