Question #10

Identify the correct set of required dimensions for Planning.

A. Account
B. Entity

C. Version

D. Years and Periods combined into one dimension

E. Scenario

F. Minimum one user-defined dimension

Explanation: The required dimensions for a Hyperion Planning Application.


Required Dimensions:
Period
Year
Scenario
Version
Entity
Account
Other Dimensions:
Alias
Smart Lists
Multicurrency applications require two additional dimensions:
Currency
HSP_Rates
Note:
Period and Year
You specify a time period and year for each value. Base time periods, such as
months, are
automatically rolled up to summary time periods, such as quarters and total year.
As
administrators, you specify base time periods and distribution of weeks in the
Period
dimension when you create application views. You use the year dimension to add
years to
the calendar.
Scenario and Version
The Scenario and Version dimensions represent the broadest categories of data in
your
application. Scenario describes the type of data that a plan includes, such as
budget,
actual, or forecast, as well as the time span that the plan covers.
Version allows for flexibility and iterative planning cycles. For example, your
application
could have two versions, Working and Final, for each scenario. You can also use
versions
to model possible outcomes based on different assumptions about interest rates,
growth
rates, and so on. For example, your application an have a Best Case and Worst
Case
version for each scenario.
Entity
The Entity dimension represents the flow of Planning information through your
organization. You can establish an entity for each group or responsibility center
that
submits a budget plan. These units could be geographic regions, departments, or
divisions,
depending on your requirements.
Account
The Account dimension specifies the data to be collected from budget planners.
You can
establish accounts for all budgeted items to the necessary level of detail.
Examples of
accounts are Rent Expense and Cash on Hand.
Currency
You can plan in one or more currencies. The Currency dimension identifies the
currency in
which values are displayed. In the Currency dimension, you set up the following
categories: * Whic

Question #16

Assuming you have a Period dimension with calendar months rolling to quarters to total
years. If you assign the property Time Balance Last to the "Headcount" account member,
what will user see for Q1?

A. January's value

B. March's value

C. The total of January+February +March

D. The average of January + February + March

Explanation: Set the time balance as last when you want the parent value to
represent
the value of the last member in the branch (often at the end of a time period).
Note:
Essbase - Time balance properties
The tags :
first,
last,
average,
and expense
are available exclusively for use with accounts dimension members.
Using this tag requires an accounts dimension and a time dimension
If an accounts dimension member uses the time balance property, it affects how
Essbase
calculates the parent of that member in the time dimension. By default, a parent in
the time
dimension is calculated based on the consolidation and formulas of its children.
For
example, in the database in this scenarion, the Q1 member is the sum of its
children (Jan,
Feb, and Mar). However, setting a time balance property causes parents, for
example Q1,
to roll up differently.
If you set the time balance as first, last, or average, set the skip property to tell
Essbase
what to do when it encounters missing values or values of 0.

Question #30

Product status is a data element you need to include in your Planning application. Each
product will have a product status that can vary over time. You will use product status in
calculations and will need to report sales by product status and across products in a cross
tab format.
What is the best way to meet all of these requirements?

A. Define Product Status as a Smart List.

B. Define Product Status as a Separate Dimension.

C. Define Product Status as an Attribute.

D. Define Product Status as a Varying Attribute.

E. Define Product Status as an alternate hierarchy in the Product dimension.

Explanation: Varying Attributes


About Varying Attributes
A product typically has attributes that describe or define the product. For
example, a
product could have an attribute describing the size of the product in ounces and
an
attribute describing the flavor of the product. In such a scenario, Product would
be a base
dimension while Ounces and Flavor would be attribute dimensions.
A varying attribute enables you to track two values in relation to a third dimension
called an
independent dimension. You could, for example, track your product in eight
ounces over a
year.In this scenario, Time is the independent dimension. The value of this third
factor can
vary (hence the name). For example, you could track your product over a year, a
quarter,
or a month.

What differentiates a user-defined custom dimension from the Entity and Account
dimensions?

A. You can only add custom attributes to user-defined custom dimensions.

B. You assign valid plan types for the user-defined custom dimension at the
dimension level.

C. You assign data types for the user-defined custom dimension at the dimension
level.
D. You cannot: assign security for user-defined custom dimensions.

E. You can easily delete a user-defined custom dimension in Planning but you
cannot delete an Entity dimension.

Explanation: User-defined custom dimensions differ from the Entity and Account
dimensions in that you
assign valid plan types at the dimension level, not at the member level. All
members of a
user defined custom dimension are valid for plan types assigned at the dimension
level.

Question #32

Assuming the following dimensions and members:


Scenario - Actual, Budget and Year - 2010, 2011, you need to create a data form with two
columns. One column should list Actual for 2010 and the second column should list Budget
2011. You do not want to show data for Actual 2011 even though the first three months of
the year have been loaded from the GL.
What is the best way to only show the 2 columns in the data form?
A. You cannot build a data form with these two columns, hour columns will display:
Actual >2010, Actual >2011, Budget->2010 and Budget >2011

B. Use Segments on the data form to create the asymmetric columns.

C. Use User Variables on the data form to create the asymmetric columns.

D. Use a composite data form to meet this requirement.

E. Use data suppression on the data form.

Explanation: Asymmetric rows and columns are ones in which different sets of
members
are selected across the same dimension.

Question #33

Planning utilizes which type of database to store data (for example, "the numbers")?
A. Block Storage Option Essbase database

B. Aggregate Storage Option Essbase database

C. Relational database

D. XOLAP database

E. Proprietary database

Explanation: Since version 7, Essbase has supported two "storage options" (BSO
and
ASO) which take advantage of sparsity to minimize the amount of physical
memory and
disk space required to represent large multidimensional spaces. The Essbase
patent
describes the original method, which aimed to reduce the amount of physical
memory
required without increasing the time required to look up closely-related values.
With the
introduction of alternative storage options, marketing materials called this the
Block
Storage Option (Essbase BSO), later referred to as Essbase Analytics.
(BSO) enables driver-based scenario modeling, forecasting, and predictive
analytic
applications.
Note: To give you our idea of the ideal application of ASO and BSO,:
ASO Database: The ASO database is ideal for dynamically built Essbase cubes
that are
usually Read Only and used for reporting, presentation, and analysis. This type of
database would also tend to have a rather large outline where at least one
dimension has a
significant amount of members. A parts dimension or product dimension comes to
mind.Behind this ASO database would be a large BSO parent Essbase database,
from
which the dynamic ASO databases are built on the fly.
BSO Database: The BSO database is ideal for virtually any size cube, but where
performance is not necessarily the number one priority. Accuracy and
completeness of
data would be the main consideration. The BSO database is ideal as the large
parent
database where users from many different departments can trigger jobs which will
dynamically build ASO reporting cubes on an as needed basis. The typical BSO
database
is ideally suited for financial analysis applications.

Question #34

When opening a data form, the user experiences slow performance. What three steps
could you do to improve the time it takes to open the data form?
A. Reduce the number of rows and columns displayed in the data form.

B. Upgrade the client machine's operating system processing speed and RAM.

C. In the data form definition, remove the option to display alias.

D. Reduce the number of page dimensions used on the Web form

E. Tune the index and data caches in Essbase.

Explanation: A: Reducing the amount of rows and columns that need to be


accessed
would increase performance.
B: The client machine could also be a bottleneck.
E: Indexing and caching would help when loading data into a form.

Question #35
Identify the two true statements with regard to Versions and Scenarios.

A. Versions control data entry based on time periods set by the administrator.

B. There is only one Version to one Scenario.

C. Versions allow several "what-if" Scenarios.

D. Users must have the same security settings in the Version dimension as they
have in the Scenario dimension.

E. Versions can be top down or bottom up.

Explanation: C: You use the Scenario and Version dimensions to create individual
plans
to be reviewed and
approved. Each scenario/version combination contains its own set of data for the
accounts
and
other dimensions of each entity. After users complete data entry for an entity for a
specific
scenario and version, they can submit or promote the data for the entity to
another user for
review and approval. The intersection of entity, scenario, and version is referred to
as a
planning unit. Planning tracks the status of each planning unit as it moves through
the
review
process.
D: Seems likely.

Question #36

Identify the true statements regarding Supporting Detail. Select all that apply.

A. Importing Supporting Detail from Excel is supported.

B. Supporting Detail must be entered cell by cell; entry for multiple columns at
once is not possible

C. Supporting Detail can contain a hierarchy with an aggregation of values for that
hierarchy.

D. Supporting Detail can be viewed using the Smart View Add-in Essbase Provider.
E. Supporting Detail is stored in Essbase.

Explanation: A: To add supporting detail that calculates values in a data form:


1 Open a data form in Excel,
2 In the data form, select the data cells for which you want to add detail.
3 Select Hyperion > Supporting Detail. For Office 2007, click Supporting Detail in
the Task
section of the Hyperion ribbon.
4 Etc.
7. Enter data for the items for which you want to set or calculate values.
When you enter numbers into the Supporting Detail window, use the scaling that
was set
up for
the data values in the data form.
8 Click OK.
Values are dynamically calculated and aggregated before the data is saved.
C: Supporting detail can include text, values, and operators that define how data
aggregates.
Supporting detail also provides a way to drill down into data to better understand
its basis.
For
example, if the bottom-level member in your outline is pens, you can add line
items in
supporting
detail for ballpoint, fountain, marker, and so on. Then you can aggregate the detail
values
to the
pen member in the outline.

Question #38

What are the correct predefined types of base time periods that can be established when
creating the calendar in a planning application?
A. Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Custom

B. Monthly, Quarterly, Custom

C. Monthly, Quarterly, Weekly

D. Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, Custom

E. Only Custom periods are possible.

Explanation: To set up the calendar:


1.In the Classic Application Wizard, click Calendar.
2 Select a Base Period option to set how calendars roll up:
*12 Months: Four quarters per year; months roll up into parent quarters and
quarters into
years.
*Quarters: Quarters roll up into years.
* Custom: A custom time period, such as weeks or days.
Etc.
Note:
The calendar establishes the applications base time periods, starting fiscal year
and
month, and
total number of years. Select the base time period and monthly distribution
pattern based
on
the number of fiscal weeks in a month. The base time period options are the
bottom-level
time
periods in the application. You can create a custom base time period, such as
weeks or
days. Use
monthly distribution patterns to determine how data entered into a summary time
period is
distributed or spread among the base time period you select. During data entry,
users can
enter
data into summary time periods, such as years or quarters. Planning distributes
these
values over
the base time periods that constitute the summary time period.

Question #39

Identify the two true statements about a sparse Entity dimension In Hyperion Planning.

A. You cannot build alternate rollups or assign custom attributes.


B. Base currencies are assigned to entity members.

C. Exchange rates are assigned to entity members.

D. Entity along with Scenario and Period make up a planning unit.

E. Entity along with Scenario and Version make up a planning unit.

Explanation: E: The Scenario and Version dimensions represent the broadest


categories
of data in your application. Scenario describes the type of data that a plan
includes, such
as budget, actual, or forecast, as well as the time span that the plan covers.
Version allows for flexibility and iterative planning cycles. For example, your
application
could have two versions, Working and Final, for each scenario. You can also use
versions
to model possible outcomes based on different assumptions about interest rates,
growth
rates, and so on. For example, your application an have a Best Case and Worst
Case
version for each scenario.
Note:
Essbase maximizes performance by dividing the Essbase - Standard dimensions of
an
application into two types:
dense dimensions
sparse dimensions.
Sparse and dense are a property of the values of an attribute.
Sparse
Data is normally stored in sparse form. If no value exists for a given combination
of
dimension values, no row exists in the fact table. For example, if not every product
is sold
in every market. In this case, Market and Product are sparse dimensions.
It's why in the reporting tool Obiee for instance, by default, data are considered
sparse.
Dense
Most multidimensional databases may also contain dense dimensions. A fact table
is
considered to have dense data if it has (of a high probability to have) one row for
every
combination of its associated dimension levels.

Question #42
Identify two true statements about the DATAEXPORT calc script command.

A. Using DATAEXPORT within the FIX statement of a calc script allows you to
export specific data sets from an Essbase database.

B. DATAEXPORT only exports level zero data.

C. DATAEXPORT only exports to flat files.

D. DATAEXPORT only exports entire data blocks.

E. DATAEXPORT is faster than Essbase Report.

Explanation: A: To develop a calculation script that exports a subset of data, you


first
specify the SET
DATAEXPORTOPTIONS command to define options for export content, format,
and
process Use FIXENDFIX or EXCLUDEENDEXCLUDE calculations to select a slice of
the database and use a DATAEXPORTCOND command to select data based on
data
values.
Note: The DATAEXPORT command enables calculation scripts to export data in
binary or
text, or directly to a relational database. A set of data-export-related calculation
commands
qualify what
data to export and provide various output and formatting options.
Compared to using other methods to export data, using a calculation script has
the
following
advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages:
Enables exporting a subset of data.
* Supports multiple targets: flat files, relational databases, and binary files (not B,
C, D)
* Provides many flexible options for type and format or data.
* As part of a calculation script, can be easily deployed in a batch process.
* Can be very fast when the dynamic calculation export option is not used
because
DATAEXPORT directly accesses Kernel storage blocks in memory. (E)
* Provides, through binary export-import, a faster way to back up and restore data
because
the
compressed format used by binary export requires less storage for the export
files.
* Can be used as a debug tool to trace batch calculation results by using the
DATAEXPORT
command before and after other calculation commands to track data changes.
Disadvantages
Contains limited data formatting options compared to Report Writer formatting.

A. Select or reject records based on certain criteria.

B. Flip the sign for records with a certain member tagged with a comment.

C. Split or join columns in a source.

D. Find and replace manipulations on source records.

E. Map data based on an external table.

Explanation: C: Columns cannot be split or joined at runtime in the source.


D: Essbase reads the data values or members in the data source, changes them
based on
the rules in the rules file, and loads the changed data values into the database and

Question #44

Based on the following design:


Plan type 1: Summary Plan type with all Accounts by Entity
Plan type 2: Sales Plan type with Sales by Product by Entity
Plan type 3: Salary Plan type with Salary Expense by Employee by Entity
You need to get Sales data to the Summary plan type. Identify the two true statements
about sharing revenue data between the sales plan type and the summary plan type.

A. Planning will build in @XREF calculations in a calc script by default to share data
between plan types.

B. A replicated partition could be created to replicate data from the sales plan
type to the summary plan type and this would be done if we wanted to store the
sales data in the summary plan type.

C. A transparent partition and @XREF calculations could have performance issues


for retrievals because data is not stored; it is dynamically calculated.

D. A calc export script on the source database with the DATAEXPORT command
could be used to export data out of the revenue plan type and calc import script on
the target database with the DATAIMPORT command could be used to import the
data file to the summary plan type.
E. To disable the building of @XREF, update the HSPProperties file for the
application before you click Create during the application creation process.

Explanation: B: Replicated Partition:


A portion of a database, defined through Partition Manager, used to propagate an
update
to data mastered at one site to a copy of data stored at another site. Users can
access the
data as though it were part of their local database.
C:
Transparent partition:
A form of shared partition that provides the ability to access and manipulate
remote data
transparently as though it is part of your local database. The remote data is
retrieved from
the data source each time you request it. Any updates made to the data are
written back to
the data source and become immediately accessible to both local data target
users and
transparent data source users
Note: @XREF
Enables a database calculation to incorporate values from another Essbase
database.
The following terminology is used to describe the @XREF function:
Data target: the database on which the current calculation is running (that is, the
database
on which the @XREF call originates).
Data source: the database that is queried by the @XREF function. This database
may be
remote (that is, on a different machine than the data target).
Point of view: the member combination currently being calculated on the data
target (that
is, the member combination that identifies the left hand side of a calculation).
The @XREF function retrieves values from a data source to be used in a
calculation on a
data target. @XREF does not impose member and dimension mapping
restrictions, which
means that the data source and data target outlines can be different.
Note #2:
Hyperion planning's Plan Types treated as individual databases in underlying
Essbase
database comes with inherent facility to share data and dimension members
across plan
types in Hyperion Planning or equivalent databases in underlying Essbase. This

Question #45

You are designing a new Planning application. Which two requirements dictate multiple
plan types in a single Planning application?
A. Multiple currencies are required.

B. Currency rates must be kept in a separate database.

C. Sales are planned by product and channel, and salary expenses are planned by
position.

D. Security is applied to the Entity dimension but can differ for users for accounts
"sales" and "expenses".

E. You have decided to implement the Capital Expense planning module in


addition to PSL budgeting.

F. Data cannot be shared across the Organization dimension.

Explanation: C: When you define an entity member, you assign a plan type for
which it is
valid. If you do not
assign a plan type to a member, that members children do not have access to that
plan
type. If
you move a member, and the new parent of that member is valid for different plan
types,
then
the member remains valid only for the plan types it has in common with the new
parent.
Your organization may require that different entity members prepare different
plans. For
example, in your organization all entity members may submit expense plans, but
entity
members that are cost centers do not submit revenue plans. When you define
entity
members
you specify the plan types for which they are valid. Because data forms are
associated with
plan
types, this allows you to control which entity members can enter data for each
plan type.
E: You would need two plan type. To add a Capital Expense plan type to an
existing
application see Note below.
Note: To add the Capital Asset Planning plan type to a Planning application:
1 In Performance Management Architect, select Navigate, then Administer, then
Application Library.
2 In the Application Library, right-click the application to which you want to add
the Capital
Asset Planning
plan type, select Initialize, then select Capital Asset or Workforce and Capital
Asset if the
application will use both plan types.

ata Forms in Hyperion planning provides a standard centralized grid-based
interface for
data entry and data-checks. Customizing or fixing a Data Form issues take lesser
time and
effort compared to the Excel based spreadsheets.
C: Use of a central repository makes administration and maintenance of business
rules
easy,
because the repository stores information for several applications in one
database.
A user or group who has the role of basic user can do these tasks:
* Launch business rules and sequences to which the user has access
* View business rules and sequences to which the users has access
* View all variables and macros
* Edit business rules, sequences, macros, variables, and projects for which the user

Question #52

Name the valid ways to create blocks in an underlying Essbase database. Select all that
apply

A. Copy data

B. Load data
C. Create block on Equation

D. Aggregate data

Explanation: Ways to create data blocks:


1. Data Load, (B)
2. DataCopy Command, (A)
3. Sparse Dimension Consolidation,
4. Member Formulas:
4a. Assiging a constant value to a sparse member,
4b. Turning Create Block on Equation setting on and assiging a non constant value
(C)
4c. Create non missing blocks
B: The moment we load data to essbase, It creates block for those combinations
automatically.
C: Controls, within a calculation script, whether or not new blocks are created
when a
calculation formula assigns anything other than a constant to a member of a
sparse
dimension. SET CREATEBLOCKONEQ overrides the Create Block on Equation
setting for
the database.
If calculations result in a value for a sparse dimension member for which no block
exists,
Analytic Services creates a new block. Sometimes, the new blocks are not desired;
for
example, when they contain no other values. In large databases, creation and
processing
of unneeded blocks can increase processing time as well as the storage
requirement for a
database.
For the situation when new blocks would be created as a result of assigning
something
other than a constant to a member of a sparse dimension, Analytic Services
provides the
Create Blocks on Equation setting. For example, when the Create Blocks on
Equation
setting is ON and West is assigned a value where it did not have a value before,
new
blocks are created. When this setting is OFF, new blocks are not created.
Incorrect answer:
Copy DataUse to copy data from one part of your database to another. You select

Question #53

A planner is supposed to be able to submit data within a data form.


What are all the possible causes for an end user not being able to enter data on a data
form? Select all that apply.
A. The planning unit is set to first pass.

B. Another user owns the planning unit.

C. The user has read access to the members on the data form.

D. The form contains summary-level members in a bottom up version.

E. The form is set to Read Only.

Explanation: C, E: By assigning access to a data form, you control which users can
change its design (for example,
its layout and instructions) and input data. Users can select only members to
which they
have
read or write access. Users can edit data forms only if they have access to at least
one
member
of each secured dimension. For example, if users have read-only access to the
Europe
entity, the
rows and columns on data forms that include the Europe entity are displayed as
read-only.
Users
can change data only for members to which they have write access.
D: For bottom-up versions, rows and columns with level 0 members allow data
entry. Rows
or
columns set to a parent member are read-only. The point of view must also be set
to the
level 0
member to allow data entry on a bottom-up version. Target versions allow data
entry in
parent
and children members.
If you assign children to bottom-up versions, these versions display as read-only
parents
on data forms.

D. If you choose weekly distribution for Custom-based time periods. Planning will
not distribute the data values across base periods.

E. Weekly distribution determines how data entered into summary periods should
spread to its base periods.

Explanation: A: If you select a weekly distribution pattern other than Even,


Planning treats
quarterly values as if they were divided into 13 weeks and distributes weeks
according to
the selected pattern.
E:
Weekly distribution sets the monthly distribution pattern, based on the number of
fiscal
weeks
in a month. This determines how data in summary time periods spreads within the
base
time
period. When users enter data into summary time periods, such as quarters, the
value is
distributed over base time periods in the summary time period.

Question #56

Identify the two true statements assuming you are working with a single application with
multiple plan types.

A. A user-defined custom dimension may exist in one plan type but not the other
plan types.

B. A user-defined custom dimension may have members in one plan type but not
the remaining plan types.

C. All members in the entity dimension must exist in all plan types.

D. All members in the accounts dimension must exist in all plan types.

E. All periods must exist in all plan types.


Explanation:
A: Properties for User-Defined Custom Dimensions include property Valid for Plan
Types
which is used to select plan types for which the dimension is valid. Clearing this
option
makes all members of the dimension invalidfor the deselected plan type.
User-defined custom dimensions differ from the Entity and Account dimensions in
that you
assign valid plan types at the dimension level, not at the member level. All
members of a
user-defined custom dimension are valid for plan types assigned at the dimension
level.
Note: Specify one to three plan types for the application. A separate Essbase
database is
created for each plan type. You cannot change the name or number of plan types
after
creating an
application.
As you create accounts, entities, and other elements of the application, you
associate them
with
plan types, so the database for each plan type contains only information relevant
to the
plan
type. This optimizes application design, size, and performance.

Question #57

The Hyperion Planning administrator needs to run several calculations in a specific order
against two different databases within the application. Identify the two options that are not
valid.

A. Esscmd

B. Calc Script

C. Business Rule Sequence

D. MaxL

E. Business Rule Macro

Explanation:
Not C: Business Rules are a powerful to automate complex calculations.
However, arule typically runs a specific calculation/allocation on a single Essbase
Database.
E: Macros are used to avoid duplicating code.
Incorrect:
not A:ESSCMD is the original command line interface for administration
commands.
Not B: Cacl scripts is a powerful to automate calculations.
Not D:MaxL, a "multi-dimensional database access language" which provides both
a
superset of ESSCMD commands, but with a syntax more akin to SQL, as well as
support
for MDX queries.

Question #59

Identify the two true statements about Enterprise performance Management Architect.

A. If you decide to implement EPMA, all Planning applications must be EPMA-


deployed applications.

B. EPMA-deployed applications may either use EAS Business Rules or Calculation


Manager in 11.1.1.3.

C. You can create Planning, TM, Essbase, and FDM applications in EPMA.
D. Data can be shared from a Planning application to an FM application within
EPMA.

E. EPMA can be used by end users to manage and update member properties such
as hierarchies and aliases.

F. In the Dimension Library, you can maintain one full dimension (for example.
Account) but filter portions of the dimension for different applications (for
example, Revenue accounts. Balance Sheet)

Explanation: D: EPMA Data SynchronizationEnables data synchronization within


Hyperion applications. You can use the Data Synchronizer to:
* Create data movement synchronizations between Hyperion applications. For
example,
an administrator can synchronize data between two Financial Management; two
Planning
applications, and between one Financial Management(FM)and a Planning
application
* Create data mappings for reuse
* Create flat file and interface table mappings to import data into Hyperion
applications
F: You can use theEnterprise performance Management Architectto create filters
to select
specified members of a dimension. For example, select the Balance
Sheet accounts of the Account dimension. This enables you toEnterprise

Question #60

Planning administrators can access which four administration tools via the EPM
Workspace?

A. Planning

B. EPMA

C. ODI

D. LCM

E. Calculation Manager

F. EAS

G. FR Studio
Explanation: A: Planning is available within Oracle Enterprise Performance
Management
Workspace
B: Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Architect (EPMA) is accessible
from the
EPM Workspace.
D: The Shared Services Web application and the LCM utility communicate over
TCP/IP to
the EPM Workspace Core Service.
Note: One of the smartest tools Oracle/Hyperion ever integrated into its product
suite was
the migration utility. Overtime this has evolved to the LifeCycle Managment utility
or LCM
for short. Actually Oracle/Hyperion has taken it even one step further by calling its
fully
integrated migration tool the BI+ Artifact LifeCycle Management utility even
though they
have retained the same acronym, LCM.
E: Calculation Manager was introduced in EPM workspace common Foundation
Services
in release 11.
Single interface for both Hyperion
Planning and Financial Management

Question #61

In the Workforce Planning module, an employee is terminated. What two activities do you
perform in WFP, so that total salary numbers are correctly calculated?

A. Run a business rule to change the employee's status.

B. Change the employee's status on a data form using the Smart List drop down.

C. Change the employee's status on a data form using the free form text measure.

D. Change the employee status attribute association in the Employee dimension.

E. Delete the employee from Workforce Planning.

Explanation: You can change the status of the Employee through options from a
Drop
down/Smart List on a data form by running a Business Rule.
Incorrect answer:
Deleting the employee is a bad praxis. It would remove old salary entries.
You do not access the attributes directly on the Employee dimension.
Note: The Workforce Planning Module for Hyperion Planning provides a robust set
of
calculations and pre-defined web-forms that allows organizations to track and
budget down
to the benefit-level for each employee.

Question #62
You are designing a form for fast retrieval speed. Assuming a plan type with two dense
dimensions and four sparse dimensions, what is the optimal layout?

A. Sparse dimensions in Page and POV, Dense dimensions in Rows and Columns

B. Sparse dimensions in Rows and Columns, Dense dimensions in Page and POV

C. Sparse dimensions in Page and Columns, Dense dimensions in Rows and POV

D. Sparse dimensions in Page and Rows, Dense dimensions in POV and Columns

E. The layout of sparse and dense dimensions has no impact on form performance;
only the number cells on a data form impacts form performance.

Explanation: The Hyperion Planning gurus gave us the following advice:


*Row and Column contain dense dimensions only
*Page and Point of View (POV) contain sparse dimensions only
Suppress Missing Data option enabled so as to not display Rows or Columns
without data
Split data forms into multiple data forms that contain fewer Rows and Columns
To put it more simply KEEP DATA FORMS SMALL!
Note: Dense dimension: In block storage databases, a dimension
likely to contain data for every combination of dimension
members. For example, time dimensions are often dense
because they can contain all combinations of all members.
Sparse dimension: In block storage databases, a dimension
unlikely to contain data for all member combinations when
compared to other dimensions. For example, not all
customers have data for all products
Point of View (POV): Shows information about other members that are valid for
the defined
row and column members. POVs identify the database members that populate a
data form,
and define data intersections. Members on the rows, columns, and POV axes are
constant
(except when they have dynamic user variables).
Page lists: Display different views (pages) of selected member combinations that
can span
dimensions, enabling you to work with various member combinations.

Question #63

Given the following:


Measures (Dense): 40 stored members, 50 total members
Time (Dense): 17 stored members, 17 total members
Scenario (Dense): 2 stored members, 5 total members
Market (Sparse): 100 stored members, 100 total members
Product(Sparse): 500 stored members, 550 total members
What is the block size in bytes?
A. Block size = 40 * 17 * 2

B. Block size = 40 * 17 * 2 * 8

C. Block size = 50 * 17 * 5 * 8

D. Block size = 50 * 17 * 5

E. Block size = 100 * 500 * 8

F. Block size = 100 * 500

Explanation: We need to multiple the stored (not the total) members of the dense
dimensions (here Measures: 40, Time:17, and Dense:2) with 8 to calculate the
block size.
Note: Data block size is determined by the amount of data in particular
combination of
dense dimensions. For ex: when you change the dense or sparse configuration of
one or
more dimensions in the database, the data block size changes. Data block size is
8n bytes,
where n is the number of cells that exist (ie. Stored, not total) for that
combination of dense
dimensions.Note: Optimal range is 8 to 100 kb

Question #64

Identify the three differences between Grid Spreader and Mass Allocate.

A. Grid Spreader processes on the client whereas Mass Allocate processes on the
server.

B. Mass Allocate generates and runs a business rule behind the scenes, allowing
members not displayed on the form to be updated.

C. Both M-3CG Allocate and Grid Spreader require special roles in Shared Services.

D. Grid Spreader gives users a "preview" to the spread result before saving
whereas Mass Allocate will automatically save results to the server.

E. Both Mass Allocate and Grid Spreader support relational spread.

Explanation: Grid spread allocates data across the cells on the webform and runs
on the
client browser.Mass allocate triggers a calc script which can allocate data beyond
cells
those are available in the form.
If your administrator has enabled Grid Spread as a data form property, you can
specify an
amount or percentage by which Planning increases or decreases values across
multiple
dimensions on the data form, based on the existing values in the target cells. You
immediately see the result in the data form and can save the new data or discard
it. When
calculating the spread data, Planning ignores read-only and locked cells and cells
having
supporting detail. Data integrity is ensured by spreading values only to cells to
which you
have access.
If you have the Mass Allocate role (assigned in Oracle's Hyperion Shared Services)
and
an administrator has enabled Mass Allocate as the data form property, you can
spread
data using the powerful feature, Mass Allocate, which:
✑ Allocates data to all the source cell's descendants
✑ Allocates across multiple dimensions
✑ Spreads data even to cells not displayed on the data form
✑ Does not require that you have access to the target cells
✑ Cannot be undone after you mass allocate values
✑ Is processed with dynamically-created calc scripts
✑ Executes the calc scripts against the Essbase server, against all dimension
combinations
✑ Can use customized spreading patterns, created by an administrator (see
the Oracle Hyperion Planning Administrators Online Help)

Question #65

Assuming EAS Business rules, a user cannot see a business rule on a data Form. What
are three possible causes?

A. The business rule has not been assigned to the data form.

B. The business rule was created for another plan type.

C. The valid locations have not been defined for the business rule.

D. The valid locations have not been defined for the data form.

E. The Validate and Launch privileges have not been granted for the business rule.

F. The Validate and Launch privileges have not been granted for the data form.

Explanation: A: Business Rules can be assigned to data forms.


C: You can manage database locations, and the access privileges of repository
objects that
are
assigned to them, using the Location Editor. You can use the Location Editor to
create,
edit, and
copy database locations, assign new access privileges to locations, copy access
privileges
from
one location to another, and copy business rules from one location to another.
E: When you validate a business rule, Business Rules determines whether the
member or
members you select exist in the database and whether the syntax of the business
rule is
correct.
You need to have access privileges to all rules in the sequence before you can
launch it.

Question #66

Why is the Create Blocks function in calc scripts and Business Rules important in
Planning?
A. Data may not exist for the combination of dense members so you have to create
the block before calculating the data value for the block.

B. Data may not exist for the combination of sparse members so you have to
create the block before calculating the data value for the block.

C. Data may not exist for the combination of dense members so you have to create
the block before block loading data to the block.

D. Data may not exist for the combination of sparse members so you have to create
the block before loading data value to the block.

Explanation: Where needed in the calculation script, you can use multiple SET
CREATEBLOCKONEQ commands to define the Create Blocks on Equation setting
value
for the calculations that follow each command.

Note:
The accounts dimension is a dimension type that makes accounting intelligence
available.
Only one dimension can be defined as Accounts.All members in the accounts
dimension
inherit the accounts property. You can create an outline that does not have an
accounts
dimension.

Question #68

You are designing the storage properties for your Planning application. What two design
principles should you follow related to the dynamic calc storage property?

A. Dynamically calculated members should roll up to stored members.


B. You cannot calculate and store dynamic calculated members in calc scripts and
business rules.

C. Consider dynamic calc members on sparse parents with 100 t children.

D. Tagging upper-level members of sparse dimensions can reduce block size.

E. If you use a large number of dynamic calcs, you should consider increasing the
Dynamic Calculator Cache.

F. Consider Dynamic Calc and Store over Dynamic Calc.

Explanation:
B:
"If you specify a Dynamic Calc or Dynamic Calc and Store member explicitly in a
calculation script, the calculation script fails. You cannot do a calculation script
calculation
of a Dynamic Calc or Dynamic Calc and Store member. To use a calculation script
to
calculate a member explicitly, do not tag the member as Dynamic Calc.
E: The dynamic calculator cache is a buffer in memory that Essbase uses to store
all of the
blocks needed for a calculation of a Dynamic Calc member in a dense dimension
(for
example, for a query).
Incorrect answer:
F: Storing the information is no advantage in this scenario.

Question #69

You are designing a monthly projection Planning application. A starting point projection file
is received with the current month data. Data forms, Business Rules, and Essbase data
load rules, and reports should always focus on the current projection month.
What is most efficient way to design the components to reduce maintenance each month?

A. Manually update the forms each month and use a "CurMth" substitution variable
for Business Rules, Essbase data load rules, and reports.

B. Manually update the forms each month; Use "CurMo" Global variable for
Business Rules and use a "CurMth" substitution variable for Essbase data load rules,
and reports.

C. Use the Planning data form utility to update data forms and use a "CurMth"
substitution variable for Business Rules, Essbase data load rules, and reports.
D. Use a "CurMth" substitution variable for data forms, Business Rules, Essbase data
load rules, and reports.

E. Use the Planning data form utility to update data forms; Use "CurMo" Global
variable for Business Rules and use a "CurMth" substitution variable for Essbase
data load rules, and reports.

Explanation: In Business Rules use a global variable.


In Essbase, use a substitution variable.
