There has not been alot of troubleshooting discussed in the adventures series. Just like with most coding languages, you can gracefully handle errors resulting from actions (like divide by 0) and return descriptive information to the users and administrators in the job console. There are several benefits that I see. As previously stated, since the […]

I had a very interesting thing happen today that tripped me up. When loading data to a PBCS database through Planning (not as an Essbase file), I had two types of errors. I have never seen this before and this could cause some serious heartburn for administrators and possibly waste a ton of time trying […]

Say what? An application where no calculations are performed with the Essbase calculation engine? Business logic, currency, and every other calculation can be performed within Groovy outside of Essbase. I don’t know how I feel about this yet, but the thought of building this in calculations on an ASO cube is intriguing. The elimination of […]

I have been swamped with project work and webinars, so I haven’t been able to put a ton of time into finalizing new posts. I have a lot of thoughts and new topics started. So, expect some new Groovy examples and possibly some Essbase Cloud content. Unti9l then, I came across this really nice little […]
