In
Oracle EPM, pipelines are essential for automating data workflows, integrating
data sources, and performing transformations. To ensure smooth execution, it's
crucial to monitor pipeline runs and detect job failures in real-time.
When
running automated data processing or calculations in Oracle EPM Cloud,
monitoring the execution status of pipelines is critical. You don’t want
to just trigger a pipeline and hope for the best—you need real-time insights
into whether jobs succeed or fail.

Groovy
scripting,
which enables automation, dynamic validation, and metadata updates.
In
this blog, we’ll walk through two Groovy business rules that manage version
members in the Version dimension:
We’ll explain the logic behind each rule,
This
blog explores a powerful business rule that dynamically updates forecast
substitution variables based on the current fiscal period. Learn how to map
months to quarters, process rolling forecasts, and seamlessly update
variables for accurate planning. 🏆 Say goodbye
to manual adjustments and let Groovy handle the quarterly forecasting logic
with ease!
Why
Automate Forecast Substitution Variables?
Substitution
variables act as dynamic placeholders in Oracle EPM, allowing
calculations, rules, and integrations to reference time-sensitive values
(e.g., current month, current year, forecast period).
Lets explore on how to extract cell notes and attachments from Oracle Cloud EPM using Groovy scripting.
This blog walks through retrieving Entity and Cost Center descendants, querying financial data, and identifying cells with notes or file attachments.
The script dynamically iterates through each combination, loads a data grid, and logs key findings after finding the cell Notes and Attachment if any.
Suppression rules ensure efficient execution, while error handling prevents failures. Ideal for auditing financial data and ensuring compliance.
In the world of Oracle EPM Cloud, data grids serve as the backbone for
interacting with multidimensional datasets. Whether you're querying data or
preparing it for analysis, the choice of grid definition builder can
significantly impact your productivity and script efficiency. Oracle EPM Cloud
provides two main tools for constructing these grids: DataGridDefinitionBuilder and FlexibleDataGridDefinitionBuilder.
In this blog, we’ll explore these two builders, dissect their features,
and help you decide which one suits your needs. Along the way, we’ll cover best
practices, showcase example scripts, and highlight why the flexibility of the FlexibleDataGridDefinitionBuilder often makes it the preferred choice for modern Oracle EPM applications.
In Oracle Cloud EPM, Groovy scripting has become a powerful tool for automating business processes, ensuring real-time validations, and enhancing interactivity. This blog explores a practical use case where a Groovy business rule dynamically sets substitution variables and validates Data Maps before executing Smart Push operations.
The rule also demonstrates on using runtime prompts (RTPs) to set values for Substitution Variables, validate Data Map existence, execute Smart Pushes for specific members, and log user execution details.
User Audit Report (v2) Detailed Overview
Purpose:
The User Audit Report (v2) REST API
generates a detailed audit report of user activities within a specified
environment and timeframe. This report is crucial for monitoring user access
and activities, ensuring security, and maintaining compliance.
Functionality:
In this blog lets explore the Oracle Cloud Application Update
Readiness. It provides comprehensive information on the latest updates for
Oracle Cloud Applications. Here are the key components explained in detail:
1. Feature Listing Report
Oracle publishes a Feature Listing
Report that is updated monthly. This report includes:
During daily maintenance in Oracle EPM
Cloud, the system creates a maintenance snapshot, applies patches, adjusts
configurations, and analyzes activities to generate an Activity Report. The
environment is then rebooted, with initial access limited to Service
Administrators. Certain operations are restricted during this period,
especially for processes like Planning and Financial Consolidation. Maintenance
usually starts between 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. local time and a 15-minute
notice is given before maintenance begins. The process typically takes less
than an hour.
In this Blog lets see the example script to automate the process of downloading files from an Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud environment using a text string as a wildcard.
This
script matches the string specified in the FILENAME parameter with file names
displayed using the listfiles command, then automatically downloads the
matching files.
Ensure you set the appropriate search string to the FILENAME parameter. For example, FILENAME="Scheduler Output/epm" will match file names containing "Scheduler Output/epm" in the listfiles command output, identifying the files to download.
Lets have a detailed walkthrough of the PowerShell script detailing its purpose and functionality. The script is designed to perform several tasks: logging into the EPM, run the Data Management Integration rule, download the generated extract created by the integration rule, download the data file & then logout from the EPM instance.
