Exam A

QUESTION 1Identify the two statements about the Planning Import security utility.

A. Imports Planning application access for users and groupsB. Imports users and groups into PlanningC. Requires the source text file to be named PLANSECFILE.txtD. Can be scheduled to run nightly using an encrypted passwordE. Clears existing security definitions by default before the import takes place

Correct Answer: ADSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:The Import Security utility performs a Oracle Hyperion Planning security import.A: The ImportSecurity utility loads access permissions for users or groups from a text file into Planning.(To add users or groups, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System SecurityAdministration Guide. . not B)Importing access permissions overwrites existing access assignments only for imported members, data forms,data form folders, task lists, Calculation Manager business rules, and Calculation Manager business rulefolders. All other existing access permissions remain intact. (not E). The SL_CLEARALL parameter clears allexisting access permissions; you can use it with other parameters to replace existing access permissions. Seealso Exporting Access Permissions.D: To import access permissions into Planning:Locate the ImportSecurity utility by navigating to the bin directory. From the Command Prompt, enter this case-sensitive command, one space, and the parameters, separating each with a comma. Enclose the parameterswith double quotation marks:ImportSecurity.cmd [-f:passwordFile] appname,username,[delimiter],[RUN_SILENT],[SL_CLEARALL] Thiscommand can be scheduled.

QUESTION 2Identify 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.

Correct Answer: BESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:E: The Scenario and Version dimensions represent the broadest categories of datain your application. Scenariodescribes the type of data that a plan includes, such as budget,actual, or forecast, as well as the time span thatthe plan covers.Version allows for flexibility and iterative planning cycles. For example, your application could have twoversions, Working and Final, for each scenario. You can also use versions to model possible outcomes basedon different assumptions about interest rates, growth rates, and so on. For example, your application an have aBest 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 dimensionssparse dimensions.Sparse and dense are a property of the values of an attribute.SparseData is normally stored in sparse form. If no value exists for a given combination of dimension values, no rowexists in the fact table. For example, if not every product is sold in every market. In this case, Market andProduct are sparse dimensions.It's why in the reporting tool Obiee for instance, by default, data are considered sparse.DenseMost multidimensional databases may also contain dense dimensions. A fact table is considered to have densedata if it has (of a high probability to have) one row for every combination of its associated dimension levels.

QUESTION 3In a non-multicurrency Planning application, what three things happen if all options are checked for RefreshDatabase?

A. Dimension and member changes are pushed to Essbase.B. Cell text and supporting detail changes are pushed to Essbase.C. Security filters for dimensions and members are pushed to Essbase.D. Security filters for shared members are pushed to Essbase.E. Data changes are pushed to Essbase.

Correct Answer: ACDSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:During refresh:* Essbase security filters are updated (C, D)* Currency conversion calc scripts are updated* Accounts or associated properties are propagated from the relational database to the Essbase database* Custom attributes are added, modified, or deleted in the Essbase database* Exchange rate values are repopulated in the Essbase outline* Member formulas for certain accounts are generated or updated* Additions or changes to alias tables and their association to dimensions or members are updated (A)* The Essbase database is restructured* UDAs are added to the Essbase databaseReference: Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition, Creating and Refreshing Application Databases

QUESTION 4You are designing a monthly projection Planning application. A starting point projection file is received with thecurrent month data. Data forms, Business Rules, and Essbase data load rules, and reports should always focuson 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 forBusiness 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.

Correct Answer: ESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:In Business Rules use a global variable.In Essbase, use a substitution variable.

QUESTION 5Identify three key benefits of the Planning solution.


A. Standardized data forms for plan data entry available both for the Web and in ExcelB. One tool to budget and forecast as well as provide reporting for very detailed Actuals InformationC. Central repository of business rules that can be run by end users to calculate plan dataD. Detailed security down to the cell levelE. Flexible solution customizable for almost any kind of budgeting and forecasting process

Correct Answer: ACESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:A: Hyperion Planning leverages Multidimensional functionalities and capabilities of Essbase to the fullest toprovide varied planning options along with inherent Data Forms, MS Excel, Web based grid interface for thedata entry and reporting needs. ata Forms in Hyperion planning provides a standard centralized grid-basedinterface for data entry and data-checks. Customizing or fixing a Data Form issues take lesser time and effortcompared to the Excel based spreadsheets.C: Use of a central repository makes administration and maintenance of business rules easy, because therepository stores information for several applications in one database. A user or group who has the role of basicuser 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 was granted editingprivilegesE: Oracle Hyperion Planning provides an in-depth look at business operations and its related impact onfinancials, by tightly integrating financial and operational planning models.

QUESTION 6The budget office analyst needs to enter and plan data, use the Planning spreading feature that allow users tospread budget data based on last year's actuals, and modify data forms.What two roles should be provisioned for this user?

A. Grid SpreadB. PlannerC. Interactive User

D. Mass AllocateE. Offline User

Correct Answer: BCSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Planner: The majority of Hyperion Planning users are planners who are responsible for department or projectbudgets. They conveniently work over the Web or the Spreadsheet Add-in to: Enter, submit, and view data Usepre-defined policies, procedures, routines, reports, and worksheets to enter, analyze, and report on applicationdataInteractive User: Examples of an interactive user include a department head, sales director, or unit managerwho submits budget information and data for approval. Interactive users can enter and view data. They canalso create, maintain, and initiate: Data entry forms on the Web Spreadsheet Add-in worksheets Reports usingHyperion Reports Integrations using Hyperion Application Link Business rules using Hyperion Business Rules

QUESTION 7You are designing the storage properties for your Planning application. What two design principles should youfollow 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/Reference:Explanation:B:"If you specify a Dynamic Calc or Dynamic Calc and Store member explicitly in a calculation script, thecalculation script fails. You cannot do a calculation script calculation of a Dynamic Calc or Dynamic Calc andStore member. To use a calculation script to calculate a member explicitly, do not tag the member as DynamicCalc.E: The dynamic calculator cache is a buffer in memory that Essbase uses to store all of the blocks needed for acalculation 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 8Identify 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.

Correct Answer: CDSection: (none)

Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:C: You use the Scenario and Version dimensions to create individual plans to be reviewed and approved. Eachscenario/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 thedata for the entity to another user for review and approval. The intersection of entity, scenario, and version isreferred to as a planning unit. Planning tracks the status of each planning unit as it moves through the reviewprocess.D: Seems likely.

QUESTION 9Identify two times when a security refresh needs to be performed.

A. Member access has been assigned to a group.B. Member access has been assigned to a user.C. New group is created.D. A new Member "East" has OnDESCENDANTSCREAD.access assigned.E. New business rule is created.

Correct Answer: ABSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:After you establish or update user and group security, the Planning application needs to be refreshed tocomplete the update to Analytic Services security filters.Incorrect:D: This options badly worded. We here assume that the security of the member has not changed. C, E: nosecurity has changed.Reference: HYPERION SYSTEM 9 PLANNING, RELEASE 9 . 2 . 0 . 3 About Security in Planning

QUESTION 10Identify two ways that Essbase data load rules cannot manipulate source data files.

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.

Correct Answer: CESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:C: Columns cannot be split or joined at runtime in the source.E: An external table cannot be used to map data.Note: Data Load Rules file is the second type of rules files which is involved in the data load process.A data source for data load must contain :not only the values that you want to load but also identification of the location to which Essbase should load thevalues:a data address that includes one member from every standard dimension in your outline.

QUESTION 11What four prebuilt actions are available In EAS Business Rules?

A. AggregateB. Copy DataC. Clear BlockD. Clear DataE. Create BlockF. Allocate

Correct Answer: ABDESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:You can choose from four possible actions to include in a graphical business rule:AggregateData, Copy Data,Clear Data, and Create Blocks.Note:* Aggregate Data Use to calculate your database by specifying which dimensions to calculate and whatcalculation options you want to use during the aggregation.* Copy Data Use to copy data from one part of your database to another. You select the source data to copyand then specify the target or destination value.* Clear Data Use to define a subset of data that will be cleared from the database before a new value is added.You can choose either to clear cells or to clear blocks of data.* Create Blocks Use to specify a data slice to ensure that blocks are created for all sparse membercombinations in that slice.Reference: Hyperion Business Rules, Administrative Guide, About Adding Actions to Graphical Business Rules

QUESTION 12Identify 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.

Correct Answer: AESection: (none)Explanation

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

QUESTION 13What 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, CustomB. Monthly, Quarterly, CustomC. Monthly, Quarterly, WeeklyD. Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, CustomE. Only Custom periods are possible.

Correct Answer: BSection: (none)Explanation

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

QUESTION 14Identify the three characteristics of the Scenarios dimension.

A. Security can be assigned to members of the Scenario dimension.B. It allows the administrator to assign valid periods for data entryC. It allows bottoms up or target planningD. Exchange rate tables are tied to the Scenario dimension.E. One member in the scenario dimension may be valid for Plan Type.

Correct Answer: ABDSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:A: Specify access rights to members of the Scenario dimension for groups or users. Access rights determineusers or groups can view or modify data. A user or group can have only one of these access rights: Read,Write, or None. Access rights for a user can be combined based on groups to which the user belongs.B: When creating a scenario For Start Yr., Start Period, End Yr., and End Period are used to select the timeperiod to associate with the scenario.D: The Scenario dimension has an Exchange Table property with value of the name of an exchange rate tabledefined in the application.

QUESTION 22A planner is supposed to be able to submit data within a data form. What are all the possible causes for an enduser 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.

Correct Answer: CDESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:C, E: By assigning access to a data form, you control which users can change its design (for example, its layoutand 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. Forexample, if users have read-only access to the Europe entity, the rows and columns on data forms that includethe Europe entity are displayed as read-only. Users can change data only for members to which they have writeaccess.D: For bottom-up versions, rows and columns with level 0 members allow data entry. Rows or columns set to aparent member are read-only. The point of view must also be set to the level 0 member to allow data entry on abottom-up version. Target versions allow data entry in parent and children members. If you assign children tobottom-up versions, these versions display as read-only parents on data forms.

QUESTION 23The Hyperion Planning administrator needs to run several calculations in a specific order against two differentdatabases within the application. Identify the two options that are not valid.

A. EsscmdB. Calc ScriptC. Business Rule SequenceD. MaxLE. Business Rule Macro

QUESTION 24Assuming the following dimensions and members:Scenario - Actual, Budget and Year - 2010, 2011, you need to create a data form with two columns. Onecolumn should list Actual for 2010 and the second column should list Budget 2011. You do not want to showdata for Actual 2011 even though the first three months of the year have been loaded from the GL. What is thebest 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/Reference:Explanation:Asymmetric rows and columns are ones in which different sets of members are selected across the samedimension.

QUESTION 25Identify the three true statements about weekly distribution.

A. For Weekly Distribution options 445, 454, 544, the quarterly values are treated as if they are divided into 13weeks and the weeks are distributed via a pattern you specify.

B. The only valid weekly distribution options are 445, 454, and 544.C. If you select the 4-5-4 Weekly distribution option, Planning treats the first month in the quarter as if it has 4

weeks, the second month as If it has 5 weeks, and the third month as if it has 4 weeks.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/Reference:Explanation:A: If you select a weekly distribution pattern other than Even, Planning treats quarterly values as if they weredivided 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 enterdata into summary time periods, such as quarters, the value is distributed over base time periods in thesummary time period.

QUESTION 26What are the three supported methods to create and update a member and its properties (assuming Classic ornon-Classic Planning applications)?

A. Planning Web ClientB. EASC. EPMAD. DRME. Outline Load Utility

Correct Answer: ABCSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:A: Planning Web Client provides complete functionality for Web users. Use the Web interface to roll outapplications to large, distributed organizations without installing software on client computers. All softwareresides on the server.

A. Using DATAEXPORT within the FIX statement of a calc script allows you to export specific data sets froman 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/Reference:Explanation:A: To develop a calculation script that exports a subset of data, you first specifytheSETDATAEXPORTOPTIONS command to define options for export content, format, and process UseFIX -ENDFI X or EXCL UD ?- ENDEXCL UDE cal culat i ons to sel ect a sl i ce of t he dat abase anduseDATAEXPORTCOND command to select data based on data values. Note: The DATAEXPORT commandenables 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 formattingoptions. Compared to using other methods to export data, using a calculation script has the followingadvantages 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 directlyaccesses Kernel storage blocks in memory. (E)* Provides, through binary export-import, a faster way to back up and restore data because the compressedformat 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 beforeand after other calculation commands to track data changes. Disadvantages Contains limited data formattingoptions compared to Report Writer formatting.

QUESTION 29Identify the three true statements about attribute dimensions.

A. Planning supports hierarchies and aliases for attribute dimensions.B. Planning supports all attribute types (for example. Boolean, Date, Text).C. Planning supports varying attributes (where an attribute can vary over one or more other dimensions).D. Attribute dimensions can be assigned to dense dimensions.E. Attribute dimensions may only be assigned to one base dimension.

QUESTION 30Planning utilizes which type of database to store data (for example, "the numbers")?

A. Block Storage Option Essbase databaseB. Aggregate Storage Option Essbase databaseC. Relational databaseD. XOLAP databaseE. Proprietary database


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Since version 7, Essbase has supported two "storage options" (BSO and ASO) which take advantage ofsparsity to minimize the amount of physical memory and disk space required to represent largemultidimensional spaces. The Essbase patent describes the original method, which aimed to reduce theamount of physical memory required without increasing the time required to look up closely-related values. Withthe 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 andBSO,: ASO Database: The ASO database is ideal for dynamically built Essbase cubes that are usually ReadOnly and used for reporting, presentation, and analysis. This type of database would also tend to have a ratherlarge outline where at least one dimension has a significant amount of members. A parts dimension or productdimension comes to mind.Behind this ASO database would be a large BSO parent Essbase database, fromwhich 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 completenessof data would be the main consideration. The BSO database is ideal as the large parent database where usersfrom many different departments can trigger jobs which will dynamically build ASO reporting cubes on an asneeded basis. The typical BSO database is ideally suited for financial analysis applications.

A. Essbase load rulesB. Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)C. Data Integration Management (DIM)D. Data Relationship Management (DRM)E. Outline Load UtilityF. EPMA

Correct Answer: Section: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Answer: A,B,C,E,F

Explanation:A: Essbase data load rules: A set of criteria that determines how to load data from a text-based file, aspreadsheet, or a relational data set into a database. You can use either the Data Load Rules and the EssbaseAdministration Services for Essbase 7/Analytic Administration Services for Analytic Services 9.2 or HyperionApplication Link with the Hyperion Essbase Adapter to load data into a Planning application.B: Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is a comprehensive data integration platform that handles any data integrationrequirements high-volume, high-performance batches, event-driven, trickle-feed integration processes, andSOA-enabled data services.C: One of the methods of loading Essbase cubes is by using the Hyperion Data Integration Management andits corresponding Essbase Adapter. Data Integration Management is integrated with Informatica PowerCenter.It provides a way of uniting disparate sources of data across an enterprise. For example, it can integrate datastored in multiple warehouses and data marts, relational database management systems (RDBMS), and on-lineanalytical processing (OLAP) stores.E: The Outline Load Utility that comes with Oracle EPM 11 is a utility for loading the metadata as well as datainto your Planning applications. Using the utility we can load metadata for the default dimensions like Account,Period, Year, Scenario, Version, Currency, Entity as well as user-defined dimensions, attributes and UDAs.F: Enterprise Performance Management Architect or EPMA provides a uniform platform for metadatamanagement across most of the Hyperion components. It enables administrators to manage, create, anddeploy Hyperion applications within one interface. With EPMA you can configure dimensions, such as theEntity, and define properties from predefined, sample libraries.

QUESTION 35You need to create an allocation Business Rule that allocates marketing expense from corporate down to eachregion based on FY10 actuals for the Budget scenario. What is the correct formula assuming this syntax isused in an enhanced calc script?

A. FIX (Budget, @LEVMBRS (Market,0))"Marketing expense" = "Marketing expense "->Corporate * ("Marketing expense" Actual / "Marketingexpense" -> Actual > TotalMarket);ENDFIX

B. FIX (Budget, (@LEVMBRS (Market, 0) ) )"Marketing expense" = "Marketing expense"->Corporate * ("Marketing expense"/"Marketing expense" >

TotalMarket) ;ENDFIX

C. FIX (Budget, (@LEVMBRS (Market, 0) )--- "Marketing expense" = "Marketing expense"->Corporate * ("Marketing expense Actual ->FY10 /"Marketing expense" -> Actual ->FY10 TotalMarket); ENDFIX

D. FIX (@LEVMBRS (Market, 0) )"Marketing expense" = "Marketing expense"~>Corporate * ( Marketing expense Actual ->FY10 / "Marketingexpense" -> Actual ->FY10 TotalMarket); ENDFIX



QUESTION 36You are designing a form for fast retrieval speed. Assuming a plan type with two dense dimensions and foursparse dimensions, what is the optimal layout?

A. Sparse dimensions in Page and POV, Dense dimensions in Rows and ColumnsB. Sparse dimensions in Rows and Columns, Dense dimensions in Page and POVC. Sparse dimensions in Page and Columns, Dense dimensions in Rows and POVD. Sparse dimensions in Page and Rows, Dense dimensions in POV and ColumnsE. 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/Reference: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 tonot display Rows or Columns without data Split data forms into multiple data forms that contain fewer Rows andColumns To put it more simply KEEP DATA FORMS SMALL! Note: Dense dimension: In block storagedatabases, a dimension likely to contain data for every combination of dimension members. For example, timedimensions 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 membercombinations when compared to other dimensions. For example, not all customers have data for all productsPoint of View (POV): Shows information about other members that are valid for the defined row and columnmembers. 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 37Why 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 beforecalculating the data value for the block.

B. Data may not exist for the combination of sparse members so you have to create the block beforecalculating 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 blockloading data to the block.

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


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:You can use the Create Blocks action to make sure that blocks are created in thedatabase forsparse membercombinations in a specified slice of data. Since there is a potential for a largeincrease in the database sizewhen creating blocks, be careful when adding this action to yourbusiness rule. To help you get an idea of thesize, the system displays a calculation of the blocksize and maximum possible blocks that would exist for thespecified data slice after the businessrule is launched. Since some blocks may exist in the database, thiscalculation does not representthe exact amount of the increase. Note: You can choose from four possibleactions to include in a graphical business rule:AggregateData, Copy Data, Clear Data, and Create Blocks.* Create Blocks Use to specify a data slice to ensure that blocks are created for all sparse membercombinations in that slice.* Aggregate Data Use to calculate your database by specifying which dimensions to calculate and whatcalculation options you want to use during the aggregation.* Copy Data Use to copy data from one part of your database to another. You select the source data to copyand specify the target or destination value.* Clear Data Use to define a subset of data that will be cleared from the database before a new value is added.You can choose to clear cells or to clear blocks of data.

QUESTION 38Identify the three true statements about the CapEx Planning module.

A. Is a prebuilt plan type focused on capital expense related planningB. Provides complete out-of-the-box functionality for capex planning including dimensions, data forms,

business rules and securityC. Can be initialized within an existing Planning applicationD. Can be created as a stand-alone applicationE. Because planning limits an application to three plan types, Capex Planning must be the third plan type.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Capex (Capital Expense Planning Process) is:-Planning for new asset purchaseDepreciation/Amortization calculationsPlanning for action on existing assetsPlanning for driver based/user defined asset related expenses Capital purchases process management (futurerelease)Reporting on Asset

QUESTION 39A planning end user opens a data form and sees a long list of entities in the drop-down list in the Page section.She would like to shorten this list and use the search functionality instead. How can she change the number ofmembers needed on a form to initiate a page dropdown search?

A. Form Management>>Display tabB. Form Management>> Options tabC. Preferences>>Database Settings tabD. Preferences>> Display Options tabE. This change can only be made by the Planning Administrator.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation: All users can set personal preferences in the current application.To set personal preferences:1Select File, then Preferences.2 Click Planning, then perform an action:* Select Application Settings to set e-mail options, select an alias table, and set options for member selectionand workflow.* Select Display Options to set options for number formatting, page selection, warnings for large data forms,and the number of dimensions to show on a page.

QUESTION 40Name the valid ways to create blocks in an underlying Essbase database. Select all that apply

A. Copy dataB. Load dataC. Create block on EquationD. Aggregate data


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Ways to create data blocks:Data Load, (B)DataCopy Command, (A)Sparse Dimension Consolidation,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 missingblocksB: 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 formulaassigns anything other than a constant to a member of a sparse dimension. SET CREATEBLOCKONEQoverrides the Create Block on Equation setting for the database. If calculations result in a value for a sparsedimension member for which no block exists, Analytic Services creates a new block. Sometimes, the newblocks are not desired; for example, when they contain no other values. In large databases, creation andprocessing of unneeded blocks can increase processing time as well as the storage requirement for adatabase. For the situation when new blocks would be created as a result of assigning something other than aconstant 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 nothave a value before, new blocks are created. When this setting is OFF, new blocks are not created.Incorrect answer:Copy Data Use to copy data from one part of your database to another. You select the source data to copy andspecify the target or destination value.D: Aggregate data. There is no such specific command or utility. It is just a general concept in the Hyperioncontext.

QUESTION 41You have the following design requirement: You need to track customer status for a sales planning application.Valid options for customer status include: Active, Inactive, Out of Business. Customer status can change on amonth-by-month basis.What is the best way to build Customer Status into the Planning application?

A. Attribute dimensionB. Varying attribute dimensionC. Smart ListD. Free Form TextE. Alternate hierarchy

Correct Answer: CSection: (none)Explanation


Explanation:Administrators use Smart Lists to create custom drop-down lists that users access from data form cells. Whenclicking into cells whose members are associated with a Smart List (as a member property), users select itemsfrom drop-down lists instead of entering data. Users cannot type in cells that contain Smart Lists. Smart Listsdisplay in cells as down arrows that expand when users click into the cells.

QUESTION 42Management dictates a major reorganization of the company structure, meaning you need to rebuild the Entitydimension from the beginning. You need to delete members in the Entity dimension. Identify the three truestatements about deleting members from a Planning application.

A. You must delete members one by one.B. You must delete a reference to a member from all data forms before deleting it from the dimension.C. In a data form definition, you selected @IDescendants(IT) for the entity dimension in the page section.

The IT member will remain but 2 of its 10 cost centers are being removed. You must remove the referenceto "IT" in this data form.

D. You should back up all data for the deleted entity members; after a member is deleted, the data is notretained.

E. A database refresh is required after deleting members from the Entity dimension.

Correct Answer: BDESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:B: members of the dimension entity must be first delete in data forms and then in the library dimensionD: Make a backup to retain the information.E: A refresh of the database is required.

Customer status can change on amonth-by-month basis.What is the best way to build Customer Status into the Planning application?

A. Attribute dimensionB. Varying attribute dimensionC. Smart ListD. Free Form TextE. Alternate hierarchy


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Administrators use Smart Lists to create custom drop-down lists that users access from data form cells. Whenclicking into cells whose members are associated with a Smart List (as a member property), users select itemsfrom drop-down lists instead of entering data. Users cannot type in cells that contain Smart Lists. Smart Listsdisplay in cells as down arrows that expand when users click into the cells. Perform these tasks to create andadminister Smart Lists:* Define Smart Lists* Associate Smart Lists with members.* Select dimensions for which Smart Lists are displayed.

QUESTION 44What 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/Reference:Explanation:User-defined custom dimensions differ from the Entity and Account dimensions in that you assign valid plantypes at the dimension level, not at the member level. All members of a user defined custom dimension arevalid for plan types assigned at the dimension level.

QUESTION 45When opening a data form, the user experiences slow performance. What three steps could you do to improvethe 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 formE. Tune the index and data caches in Essbase.

Correct Answer: ABESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference: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 46Given the following:Measures (Dense): 40 stored members, 50 total membersTime (Dense): 17 stored members, 17 total membersScenario (Dense): 2 stored members, 5 total membersMarket (Sparse): 100 stored members, 100 total membersProduct (Sparse): 500 stored members, 550 total members What is the block size in bytes?

A. Block size = 40 * 17 * 2B. Block size = 40 * 17 * 2 * 8C. Block size = 50 * 17 * 5 * 8D. Block size = 50 * 17 * 5E. Block size = 100 * 500 * 8F. Block size = 100 * 500


Explanation/Reference: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 inparticular combination of dense dimensions. For ex: when you change the dense or sparse configuration of oneor more dimensions in the database, the data block size changes. Data block size is 8n bytes, where n is thenumber of cells that exist (ie. Stored, not total) for that combination of dense dimensions.Note: Optimal range is8 to 100 kb

QUESTION 47Planning administrators can access which four administration tools via the EPM Workspace?

A. PlanningB. EPMAC. ODID. LCME. Calculation ManagerF. EASG. FR Studio

Correct Answer: ABDESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:A: Planning is available within Oracle Enterprise Performance Management WorkspaceB: 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 WorkspaceCore Service. Note: One of the smartest tools Oracle/Hyperion ever integrated into its product suite was themigration 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 LifeCycleManagement utility even though they have retained the same acronym, LCM.E: Calculation Manager was introduced in EPM workspace common Foundation Services in release 11.

QUESTION 48Identify 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.

Correct Answer: ABDSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Grid spread allocates data across the cells on the webform and runs on the client browser.Mass allocatetriggers a calc script which can allocate data beyond cells those are available in the form. If your administratorhas enabled Grid Spread as a data form property, you can specify an amount or percentage by which Planningincreases or decreases values across multiple dimensions on the data form, based on the existing values in thetarget cells. You immediately see the result in the data form and can save the new data or discard it. Whencalculating 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 hasenabled Mass Allocate as the data form property, you can spread data using the powerful feature, MassAllocate, which:

QUESTION 54You 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.

Correct Answer: CESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:C: When you define an entity member, you assign a plan type for which it is valid. If you do not assign a plantype to a member, that member s children do not have access to that plan type. If you move a member, and thenew parent of that member is valid for different plan types, then the member remains valid only for the plantypes it has in common with the new parent. Your organization may require that different entity membersprepare different plans. For example, in your organization all entity members may submit expense plans, butentity members that are cost centers do not submit revenue plans. When you define entity members youspecify the plan types for which they are valid. Because data forms are associated with plan types, this allowsyou 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 Planningplan type, select Initialize, then select Capital Asset or Workforce and Capital Asset if the application will useboth plan types.3 To confirm the initialization, click Yes.

QUESTION 58Identify the correct set of required dimensions for Planning.

A. AccountB. EntityC. VersionD. Years and Periods combined into one dimensionE. ScenarioF. Minimum one user-defined dimension


Explanation/Reference:Answer: A, B, C, D, E

Explanation:The required dimensions for a Hyperion Planning Application.Required Dimensions:PeriodYearScenarioVersionEntityAccountOther Dimensions:Alias

Smart ListsMulticurrency applications require two additional dimensions:CurrencyHSP_RatesNote:Period and YearYou specify a time period and year for each value. Base time periods, such as months, are automatically rolledup to summary time periods, such as quarters and total year. As administrators, you specify base time periodsand distribution of weeks in the Period dimension when you create application views. You use the yeardimension to add years to the calendar.Scenario and VersionThe Scenario and Version dimensions represent the broadest categories of data in your application. Scenariodescribes the type of data that a plan includes, such as budget, actual, or forecast, as well as the time span thatthe plan covers. Version allows for flexibility and iterative planning cycles. For example, your application couldhave two versions, Working and Final, for each scenario. You can also use versions to model possibleoutcomes based on different assumptions about interest rates, growth rates, and so on. For example, yourapplication an have a Best Case and Worst Case version for each scenario.EntityThe Entity dimension represents the flow of Planning information through your organization. You can establishan entity for each group or responsibility center that submits a budget plan. These units could be geographicregions, departments, or divisions, depending on your requirements. Account The Account dimension specifiesthe data to be collected from budget planners. You can establish accounts for all budgeted items to thenecessary 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 whichvalues are displayed. In the Currency dimension, you set up the following categories:*Which currencies are used by applications and reporting* How currencies are displayed in reports and data forms* How currencies are translated into other currencies* When currency conversion occursHSP_Rates This dimension contains a member to store exchange rate values for each currency. It alsocontains a member for input values and currency overrides. Alias and Smart Lists In addition to the requiredPlanning dimensions, you must set up an Alias dimension if you want to assign aliases to dimensions such asAccount or Entity. If you want to use Smart Lists in your application, you must set up a Smart List dimension.Reference: Required Dimensions for a Hyperion Planning Application

QUESTION 59Assuming you have a Period dimension with calendar months rolling to quarters to total years. If you assign theproperty Time Balance Last to the "Headcount" account member, what will user see for Q1?

A. January's valueB. March's valueC. The total of January+February +MarchD. The average of January + February + March


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Set the time balance as last when you want the parent value to represent the valueof the last member in thebranch (often at the end of a time period).Note:Essbase - Time balance propertiesThe tags :first,last,average,

and expenseare available exclusively for use with accounts dimension members. Using this tag requires an accountsdimension and a time dimension If an accounts dimension member uses the time balance property, it affectshow Essbase calculates the parent of that member in the time dimension. By default, a parent in the timedimension is calculated based on the consolidation and formulas of its children. For example, in the database inthis scenarion, the Q1 member is the sum of its children (Jan, Feb, and Mar). However, setting a time balanceproperty causes parents, for example Q1, to roll up differently. If you set the time balance as first, last, oraverage, set the skip property to tell Essbase what to do when it encounters missing values or values of 0.

QUESTION 60Based on the following design:Plan type 1: Summary Plan type with all Accounts by Entity Plan type 2: Sales Plan type with Sales by Productby Entity Plan type 3: Salary Plan type with Salary Expense by Employee by Entity You need to get Sales datato the Summary plan type. Identify the two true statements about sharing revenue data between the sales plantype 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 commandcould 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 Createduring the application creation process.

Correct Answer: BCSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:B: Replicated Partition:A portion of a database, defined through Partition Manager, used to propagate an update to data mastered atone site to a copy of data stored at another site. Users can access the data as though it were part of their localdatabase.C: Transparent partition: A form of shared partition that provides the ability to access and manipulate remotedata transparently as though it is part of your local database. The remote data is retrieved from the data sourceeach time you request it. Any updates made to the data are written back to the data source and becomeimmediately accessible to both local data target users and transparent data source users Note: @XREFEnables a database calculation to incorporate values from another Essbase database. The followingterminology 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 adifferent machine than the data target). Point of view: the member combination currently being calculated onthe data target (that is, the member combination that identifies the left hand side of a calculation). The @XREFfunction retrieves values from a data source to be used in a calculation on a data target. @XREF does notimpose member and dimension mapping restrictions, which means that the data source and data targetoutlines can be different.Note #2:Hyperion planning's Plan Types treated as individual databases in underlying Essbase database comes withinherent facility to share data and dimension members across plan types in Hyperion Planning or equivalentdatabases in underlying Essbase. This reduces the need for additional development/maintenance effort whencompared to Planning systems based on Standalone Essbase. The Hyperion Planning user would seldomrealize that the dimension members belong to multiple databases. While this might be an area of concern whileusing Standalone Essbase to build planning system.
