What is O2B and How its useful to me?



There are  times when we have to query the Hyperion Planning Application's relational database to get the Auditing reports, alas! we don't have an option to get them from our Planning interface. Many times we have wondered how to get the list of dimension members, data forms, there layouts, users security reports, task list status, supporting details, account annotations etc.

Moreover, a report of a Planning's metadata refresh  to essbase, who made it, when was it refreshed last time. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we can get a small report for this?

What if I say I have created a simple web based utility which can take care of all this and even more!

Ladies and gentleman introducing  our own O2B Utility. Its a utility that is created out of the common needs of every individual who uses Hyperion Planning in some way or the other.

1.  A very simple deployment, you can start be up and running on this utility in minutes,
2.  A lot faster then fetching the reports from Planning interface,
3.  Real time reporting,
4.  Filtering and Exporting options to Excel,
5. Different options for Reporting and Admin users.


Every thing above in a few clicks. Here is the link to download the war.

Here are few Screen shots to get started, For details deploy it and take the most out of it.













Cheers..!!!

Multiple Navigation Flows are Active

Image
We have witnessed an issue where application migration or sometimes service restart in PBCS/EPBCS activates multiple navigation flows.  If multiple navigation flows are active you wont be able make changes in any of them, because in order to make change in navigation flow you have to make it inactive. Typically you may end up in following situation:  Solution is pretty simple: 1. Create a copy of any of the existing navigation flow:  2. Give it any desired name:  3. Now, you will see one additional navigation flow, with inactive status: 4.  Make it active: 5.  At this point of time you will have one active navigation flow and two inactive  6. Select the additional navigation flow you have created and delete it  7. Now you are back in business: Rahul S.
