Oracle Hyperion Planning 11 Essentials


Exam A

QUESTION 1You 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.

Correct Answer: BESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference: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 scriptcalculation 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 DynamicCalc.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 densedimension (for example, for a query).Incorrect answer:F: Storing the information is no advantage in this scenario.

QUESTION 2Identify 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. Each scenario/version combination contains its own set ofdata 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 orpromote 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. Planningtracks the status of each planning unit as it moves through the review process.D: Seems likely.

QUESTION 3Identify 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 to complete 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: no security has changed.

QUESTION 4Identify 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: CDSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference: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 thedatabase and the changed members into the outline. Essbase does not change the data source.

QUESTION 5What four prebuilt actions are available In EAS Business Rules?

A. Aggregate

B. Copy Data

C. Clear Block

D. Clear Data

E. Create Block

F. 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 what calculation options you want to use during theaggregation.* Copy Data—Use to copy data from one part of your database to another. You select the source data to copy and 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 clearblocks of data.* Create Blocks—Use to specify a data slice to ensure that blocks are created for all sparse member combinations in that slice.

QUESTION 6Identify 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


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 ofplan 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 onlyinformation relevant to the plan type. This optimizes application design, size, and performance.

QUESTION 7What 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.

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 set how calendars roll up:*12 Months: Four quarters per year; months roll up into parent quarters and quarters intoyears.*Quarters: Quarters roll up into years.* Custom: A custom time period, such as weeks or days.Etc.

Note:The calendar establishes the application’s base time periods, starting fiscal year and month, and total number of years. Select the base time period and monthlydistribution 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 cancreate a custom base time period, such as weeks or days. Use monthly distribution patterns to determine how data entered into a summary time period isdistributed 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 8Identify 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 entry

C. It allows bottoms up or target planning

D. 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 determine users or groups can view or modify data. A user orgroup 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 time period to associate with the scenario.D: The Scenario dimension has an Exchange Table property with value of the name of an exchange rate table defined in the application.References:

QUESTION 9Which three components can be changed after the creation of the Planning application?

A. Number of years

B. Names of plan types

C. Number of plan types

D. Initialization of WFP or CapEx Planning modules


E. Weekly distribution spread

F. Year Dimension Name

G. Default Currency

Correct Answer: ADFSection: (none)Explanation


Note: WFP – Workforce planning. Oracle Hyperion Capital Expense Planning (CAPEX) software is a specialized planning module that automates the planning ofcapital assets and capital asset related expenses, such as depreciation, maintenance and insurance.


QUESTION 10You need to create a highly formatted, printable Income statement for each store in your company. Each report should be emailed to the store manager at the closeof each week (each store has a different store manager). What is the best way to deliver this solution?

A. With Financial Reporting, create a book for each store that contains a P&L for each store and use the book to distribute the reports to store managers via email.

B. With Financial Reporting, create a store P&L and use batch bursting to distribute the report to store managers via email.

C. With Web Analysis, create an income statement that store managers can log in and access.

D. Within Smart View Report Designer, use the Cascade feature to generate and distribute each store income statement via email.

E. Create a Planning P&L Data form and use email notification to send to store managers.

Correct Answer: DSection: (none)Explanation


In addition to other capabilities, the Report Designer provides cascaded output of reports in Excel. This will enable end users to create a report in Excel andcascade it to separate sheets based on members of a dimension not included as part of the report.

QUESTION 11What four read or write security assignments allow end users to be able to view at least some data?

A. At least one member in the Scenario dimension

B. At least one member In the Version dimension

C. At least one member in the Period dimension

D. At least one member in the Account dimension

E. At least one member in the Entity- dimension

F. If security has been assigned for a Custom dimension, at least one member in the user-defined custom dimension

Correct Answer: ABEFSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Scenario,Version & Entity make up a planning unit so security needs to be applied here and then also to the custom dimension if it has security.

QUESTION 12


Identify the three true statements about attribute dimensions in Planning.

A. Aliases are supported for attribute members.

B. Consolidation properties are supported for attribute members.

C. Hierarchies are supported for attribute dimensions.

D. Only Text attributes are supported.

E. Text, Boolean, Numeric, and Date attributes are supported.

Correct Answer: ACESection: (none)Explanation


A: Open the Dimension Library and select File >New > Dimension. Enter a name and description, then select the Alias type.C: From planning 9 3 1 you can also create attribute hierarchy in planning.E: Attribute dimensions have a type setting—text, numeric, Boolean, or date. Text is the default setting.

QUESTION 13Identity the true statement about Custom Menus.

A. Custom menus can provide links to data forms, Business Rules, URLs, and Planning preferences.

B. Custom menus require Java scripting knowledge to create.

C. You can assign security to custom menus so that only specific users or groups can see the custom menu.

D. Custom menus are assigned to data forms only.

E. Custom menus are limited to a single list of tasks; you cannot group them into sub categories.

Correct Answer: ASection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Custom menus can be used to launch the following:– Business Rules– Context sensitive data forms– URL


– Context sensitive Process Management

QUESTION 14A 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.

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 layout and instructions) and input data. Users can selectonly 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 include the Europe entity are displayed as read-only. Userscan 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 viewmust 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.

QUESTION 15The Hyperion Planning administrator needs to run several calculations in a specific order against two different databases within the application. Identify the twooptions that are not valid.

A. Esscmd

B. Calc Script

C. Business Rule Sequence

D. MaxL

E. Business Rule Macro

Correct Answer: CE


Section: (none)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 wellas support for MDX queries.

QUESTION 16Assuming 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 columnshould 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/Reference:Explanation:Asymmetric rows and columns are ones in which different sets of members are selected across the same dimension.

QUESTION 17Identify 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 13 weeks and the weeks are distributed via a patternyou 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, andthe 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 were divided into 13 weeks and distributes weeks accordingto 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 periodsspreads 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 thesummary time period.

QUESTION 18What are the three supported methods to create and update a member and its properties (assuming Classic or non-Classic Planning applications)?

A. Planning Web Client

B. EAS

C. EPMA

D. DRM

E. Outline Load Utility

Correct Answer: BCDSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:B: Oracle Hyperion Essbase Administration Services (Essbase Administration Services) software is a robust, cross-platform graphical user interface that makesEssbase administration tasks easy to perform.


Administrators can simultaneously view and edit properties for multiple Hyperion Essbase databases, applications, users, scripts, and other objects from a singleintuitive view.Essbase Administration Services also provides wizards, editors, dynamic menus, and other tools to help you implement, monitor, and maintain analytic andenterprise performance management applications.

C: Enterprise Performance Management Architect (EPMA) enables administrators to manage, create, and deploy Hyperion applications within one interface. EPMAcan do adds, moves, modify properties, etc.

D: Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management (DRM) is an enterprise change management solution for building and retaining consistency within master dataassets despite endless changes necessary to support underlying transactional and analytical systems.

A. Dimension Editor for Planning

B. Shared Services

C. Exchange Rates Definition

D. Planning Utilities

E. Create and Manage Database Options

F. Create Data Sources


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Hyperion Planning Utilities can only be used locally.

QUESTION 20Identify 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.



Correct Answer: AESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:A: To develop a calculation script that exports a subset of data, you first specify the SETDATAEXPORTOPTIONS command to define options for export content, format, and process Use FIX…ENDFIX or EXCLUDE…ENDEXCLUDE calculations toselect 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-relatedcalculation commands qualify whatdata to export and provide various output and formatting options.

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 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 forthe 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 datachanges.

DisadvantagesContains limited data formatting options compared to Report Writer formatting.

QUESTION 21What are the two possible effects on the database when the data storage property of a parent member in the sparse Entity dimension is set to Dynamic Calc?


A. Essbase data block size decrease.

B. The member is not available for process management.

C. Retrieval performance could be slower when referencing the parent entity member.

D. Data cannot be input to the parent in target versions.

Correct Answer: ACSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:A:Usage of dynamic calc in sparse dimensionincludes benefits such asshorter aggregations smaller database size.

C:Consider the number of members underneath a sparse parent. It's generally good practice to have few (up to 20) members under dynamic sparse parents if yourblock size is not massively huge. This number might increase if your block size is tiny.

QUESTION 22You need to build the Entity into your Classic Planning application. You can dynamically build the Entity dimension in the Planning application via: (Select all thatapply)

A. Essbase load rules

B. Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)

C. Data Integration Management (DIM)

D. Data Relationship Management (DPM)

E. Outline Load Utility

F. EPMA

Correct Answer: BCEFSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:You candynamically build the Entity dimension in the Planning applicationwith the help ofODI, DIM and EPMA.With Version 11(and later)you can also use the outline loader.

Incorrect:not A: you can't use essbase load rules, metadata has to be loaded to planning and then pushed to essbase.


QUESTION 23You need to create an allocation Business Rule that allocates marketing expense from corporate down to each region based on FY10 actuals for the Budgetscenario. What is the correct formula assuming this syntax is used in an enhanced calc script?

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



QUESTION 24You 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.

Correct Answer: ASection: (none)Explanation

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 onlySuppress 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 ColumnsTo 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 dimensionsare 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. Forexample, 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 thatpopulate 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 25Why 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/Reference:Explanation:Where needed in the calculation script, you can use multiple SET CREATEBLOCKONEQ commands to define the Create Blocks on Equation setting value for thecalculations that follow each command.

QUESTION 26Identify the three true statements about the CapEx Planning module.

A. Is a prebuilt plan type focused on capital expense related planning

B. Provides complete out-of-the-box functionality for capex planning including dimensions, data forms, business rules and security

C. Can be initialized within an existing Planning application

D. Can be created as a stand-alone application


E. Because planning limits an application to three plan types, Capex Planning must be the third plan type.

Correct Answer: ABCSection: (none)Explanation


Capex (Capital Expense Planning Process) is:- Planning for new asset purchase– Depreciation/Amortization calculations– Planning for action on existing assets– Planning for driver based/user defined asset related expenses– Capital purchases process management (future release)– Reporting on Asset


QUESTION 27A 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 searchfunctionality instead. How can she change the number of members needed on a form to initiate a page dropdown search?

A. Form Management>>Display tab

B. Form Management>> Options tab

C. Preferences>>Database Settings tab

D. Preferences>> Display Options tab


E. 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:1 Select 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 selection and 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 28Name 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

Correct Answer: ABCSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference: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 asparse 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 notdesired; for example, when they contain no other values. In large databases, creation and processing of unneeded blocks can increase processing time as well asthe 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 Servicesprovides 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 havea 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 and specify the target or destination value.D: Aggregate data. There is no such specific command or utility. It is just a general concept in the Hyperion context.

QUESTION 29You 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 a month-by-month basis.What is the best way to build Customer Status into the Planning application?

A. Attribute dimension

B. Varying attribute dimension

C. Smart List

D. Free Form Text

E. Alternate hierarchy

Correct Answer: CSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Administrators use Smart Lists to create custom drop-down lists that users access from data form cells. When clicking into cells whose members are associatedwith a Smart List (as a member property), users select items from drop-down lists instead of entering data. Users cannot type in cells that contain Smart Lists.Smart Lists display in cells as down arrows that expand when users click into the cells.

QUESTION 30Management dictates a major reorganization of the company structure, meaning you need to rebuild the Entity dimension from the beginning. You need to deletemembers in the Entity dimension. Identify the three true statements 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 centersare being removed. You must remove the reference to "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 not retained.

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.

QUESTION 31You 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.

A. Attribute dimension

B. Varying attribute dimension

C. Smart List

D. Free Form Text

E. Alternate hierarchy

Correct Answer: CSection: (none)Explanation

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

QUESTION 32Identify 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)

Correct Answer: DFSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:D: EPMA Data Synchronization—Enables 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 applicationsF: You can use theEnterprise performance Management Architectto create filters to select specified members of a dimension. For example, select the BalanceSheet accounts of the Account dimension. This enables you toEnterprise performance Management Architect

QUESTION 35Identify 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


Correct Answer: ABCDESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:The required dimensions for a Hyperion Planning Application.

Required Dimensions:PeriodYearScenarioVersionEntityAccount

Other Dimensions:AliasSmart Lists

Multicurrency applications require two additional dimensions:CurrencyHSP_Rates

Note:Period and YearYou 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 andtotal year. As administrators, you specify base time periods and 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. Scenario describes the type of data that a plan includes, suchas 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 canalso use versions to model possible outcomes based on different assumptions about interest rates, growth rates, and so on. For example, your application an havea Best Case and Worst Case version for each scenario.

EntityThe Entity dimension represents the flow of Planning information through your organization. You can establish an entity for each group or responsibility center thatsubmits a budget plan. These units could be geographic regions, departments, or divisions, depending on your requirements.


AccountThe 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.

CurrencyYou 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 thefollowing 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 occurs

HSP_RatesThis dimension contains a member to store exchange rate values for each currency. It also contains a member for input values and currency overrides.

Alias and Smart ListsIn addition to the required Planning dimensions, you must set up an Alias dimension if you want to assign aliases to dimensions such as Account or Entity. If youwant to use Smart Lists in your application, you must set up a Smart List dimension.

QUESTION 36Assuming 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/Reference: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 propertiesThe tags :first,last,average,and expenseare available exclusively for use with accounts dimension members.

Using this tag requires an accounts dimension and a time dimensionIf 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, aparent 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 isthe 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 37Based on the following design:

Plan type 1: Summary Plan type with all Accounts by EntityPlan type 2: Sales Plan type with Sales by Product by EntityPlan 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 summaryplan 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 salesdata 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 scripton 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.

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 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 isretrieved 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 toboth local data target users and transparent data source users

Note: @XREFEnables 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 acalculation).

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 mappingrestrictions, 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 membersacross plan types in Hyperion Planning or equivalent databases 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 seldom realize that the dimension members belong to multipledatabases. While this might be an area of concern while using Standalone Essbase to build planning system.

QUESTION 38Assuming 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/Reference: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 theLocation Editor to create, edit, and copy database locations, assign new access privileges to locations, copy access privileges from one location to another, andcopy 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 thebusiness rule is correct.You need to have access privileges to all rules in the sequence before you can launch it.

QUESTION 39Product 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 useproduct 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/Reference: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 andan 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 ineight 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 couldtrack your product over a year, a quarter, or a month.
