KScope has concluded, and what a fantastic week it was. I love the years I get the feedback that I have an abstract selected so I can attend. This year, I was awarded Oracle Ace, so it was really nice to be nominated and recognized for my contributions to the community.
There are a lot of reasons one might loop through children in a Groovy Calculation. On my journeys with Groovy, I have run into a few roadblocks where this has been helpful. Some of these were related to limits in PBCS. Looping through sets of members allowed us to get around some of the limitations. […]
Introduction Before we jump in, there are a number of questions you are going to have at the conclusion of this article. Please post comments and I will answer them, but keep in mind, this is an example. Are there different ways to accomplish this? You bet. Should the data sync directly to the rFin […]
Introduction Yes, it is true that Groovy is available in on-premise and cloud (PBCS) versions of Hyperion Planning. No, it is not true that the same flavor of Groovy exists in both. Both have their advantages, and both have their drawbacks. The likelihood that they will ever be the same is extremely low, and here […]
Introduction Chris Hull has been kind enough to partner with us to present how the methods available in Groovy calculations have made a huge impact in their budgeting and reporting process using PBCS.
Introduction One of the challenges with Hyperion Planning is the ability to move data between applications in real time. A classic example of this is a P&L application with other modules that have greater detail. The following is an example.
Challenge Accepted When I asked visitors to try to come up with a situation that Groovy Calculation might be able to solve, this was a good one. One visitor asked if they could require a cell comment if certain parameters were not met. It is actually relatively easy. The following requirement exist in this example. […]
Introduction I know you can argue this is a user issue and a training issue, but the fact is, sometimes people will save a form without editing any data. There are at least three negative issues as a result. One, the business rules and smart pushes execute, consuming unnecessary resources. Two, users may think they […]
Introduction One of the huge benefits that available in Groovy Calculations is the ability to interact with a user, validate data, and act on the validation. Now, we can interrupt form saves, stop Run Time Prompts from continuing, and communicate information back to the user. This may sound repetitive if you have read part 13 […]
Introduction To expand on Part 13 of this series, which covers stopping a form from saving when there are validation errors, is identifying the errors by cell and communicating with the user the problems at a cell level. This does NOT stop at the first error and throw an exception. This will iterate through all […]
Introduction One of the huge benefits that available in Groovy Calculations is the ability to interact with a user, validate data, and act on the validation. Now, we can interrupt form saves, stop Run Time Prompts from continuing, and communicate information back to the user.
Introduction For people that are new to Groovy/Java, testing functions that Groovy provides can be a tedious and time consuming process. Learning anything is. Trying to do this with the wrong tools compounds it. I have seen some people give up and walk away from trying to improve applications because they struggle with the Groovy […]
