Keeping up with EPM Cloud

Custom calculation scripts contain sections of code which can then be referenced several times within a Business Rule, or in multiple different Business Rules. They are created within Calculation Manager, in much the same way as Business Rules, and are listed below the relevant PBCS Plan Type, under the ‘Scripts’ heading, as below: Custom scripts are useful for times when a certain section of code is repeated throughout a Business Rule, or is contained in multiple Business Rules. Using scripts in this situation means that if the script needs to be altered, it only needs to be updated in one place, rather than having to be updated in multiple locations or Business Rules. This saves time and ensures all your Business Rules which contain this section of code are consistent. The syntax used to reference a script from within a Business Rule is: %Script(name:=" ScriptName ",application:=" AppName ",plantype:=" PlanType ") Where:   ScriptName

Workflow processes can be set up in PBCS applications to manage the progress and approval of a specific work task. This is useful in circumstances where certain work must be submitted for review and approval before being published. To make this process easier, there is an Oracle EPM mobile app which allows users to manage their workflow approvals on the go. The app is free and is available on both iPhones and Android phones via the relevant application store:                               ITunes App Store                       Android Google Play                                This is much more convenient than having to login to you PBCS instance via the web interface so that you can approve or reject a proposal. To set up the app, click Configure and enter the required fields :   User Name – your normal username used to log in to your PBCS system Password – your usual password used to log in to your PBCS system Server URL – the URL for your PBCS system i
