Essentially, after your file is loaded by Data Management, the archival process creates a copy for future reference during debugging or auditing. Built-in Archival Process: Lets see the options: Lets look into the system settings: How to Access…
Beyond Static FIXes One of the first features of EPM Groovy was focused calculations using dynamic fixes. we’ve relied on dynamic fixes based on edited or selected members/rows. Now, we’ll explore a new approach: understanding the currently edited form and dynamically adjusting calculation regions based on the form name. Typically, EPM business rules fall into…
Groovy APIs and Edited Cells Since Groovy APIs introduced access to edited cells, there has been significant adoption for using it in form-based business rules. Unsurprisingly, with all calculations written in BSO cubes, FIXes were dynamically updated using Groovy business rules. But what about ASO cubes? ASO Cubes Step Up ASO cubes were traditionally used…
Secure Your Server-side EPM Automate with Encrypted Files Server-side EPM Automate has become a powerhouse for streamlining administrative tasks, but just like its client-side counterpart, it faces the critical challenge of secure connection establishment to Cloud EPM applications. Traditionally, this has been achieved through two methods: password strings and encrypted password files. While both serve…

Smart List drop-downs are used to select predefined values in a data form. They are typically associated with a member. If the number of entries is expected to grow, a hierarchy-driven Smart List can be used. This will automatically update the list of entries as the number of members in the hierarchy increases. However, an…
