GROOVY INTRODUCTION The back story of what is needed to take advantage of Groovy Calculations Groovy and PBCS 11OVOAUG / Goodfriend
WHAT IS GROOVY Apache Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities, for the Java platform aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, familiar and easy to learn syntax. It integrates smoothly with any Java program, and immediately delivers to your application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain- Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta-programming and functional programming. Groovy and PBCS 12OVOAUG / Goodfriend
FLAVORS OF GROOVY RELATED TO PBCS Groovy can be used to access the API to do all kinds of things, including automation, system backups, and user communication. This discussion will focus on the ability to access Groovy INSIDE the calculation manager only. Groovy and PBCS 13OVOAUG / Goodfriend
On-Premise made Groovy available late in 2017, and provides the developers to ability to execute Groovy scripts from Business Rules. PBCS integrated Groovy into Calculation Manager in June of 2017 CLOUD VS ON-PREMISE PBCS provides the ability to interact with the Planning objects and in real time and execute logic based on the user’s actions On-Premise provides the ability to run Groovy scripts. It provides complete access to the Groovy language independent of the Planning objects Both have advantages over each other, are similar in the functionality they provide, but are drastically different in some of the results they can produce Groovy and PBCS 14OVOAUG / Goodfriend
Seamlessly and transparently integrates and interoperates with Java and any third-party libraries BENEFITS OF GROOVY SMOOTH JAVA INTEGRATION Closures, builders, runtime & compile-time meta-programming, functional programming, type inference, and static compilation POWERFUL FEATURES Concise, readable and expressive syntax, easy to learn for Java developers FLAT LEARNING CURVE Web development, reactive applications, concurrency / asynchronous / parallelism library, test frameworks, build tools, code analysis, GUI building VIBRANT AND RICH ECOSYSTEM Groovy and PBCS 15OVOAUG / Goodfriend
Great for writing concise and maintainable tests, and for all your build and automation tasks BENEFITS OF GROOVY SCRIPTING AND TESTING GLUE Apache Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities, for the Java platform aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, familiar and easy to learn syntax. It integrates smoothly with any Java program, and immediately delivers to your application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain-Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta- programming and functional programming. WHAT IS GROOVY Flexible & malleable syntax, advanced integration & customization mechanisms, to integrate readable business rules in your applications DOMAIN-SPECIFIC LANGUAGES Groovy and PBCS 16OVOAUG / Goodfriend
IMPACT TO PBCS DESIGN AND OPTIONS AVAILABLE • Java development is fast tracked and maintenance is simplified • Developers get all the functionality of the Java API • The knowledge required to construct complex functionality is far less with Groovy • PBCS is built with Groovy so it is going to be a part of the product roadmap • Within PBCS • Access to use groovy to interact with the user • Customize commands sent to the Essbase
IMPACT TO IMPLEMENTATION A plethora of new and enhanced functions exist to improve performance and the user experience that can be explored Groovy and PBCS 18OVOAUG / Goodfriend
REAL WORLD USER EXAMPLE (SPEED & FUNCTIONALITY) 99%IMPROVEMENT 98% 99% Reporting includes all updates from detailed modules (product, Capex, workforce, and similar modules) and is included in real time as changes are made Consolidated Reporting Reporting includes all updates from detailed modules (product, Capex, workforce, and similar modules) at scheduled intervals users have to wait to see consolidated information Groovy eliminates the need to consolidate the BSO cube and copies data directly from the ASO cube at a consolidated level .2 Seconds Dimensions are consolidated and copied to the P&L model 82.9 Seconds Consolidated P&L Product detailed dimensions are consolidated and moved to the P&L model Groovy selects only the cells that where edited and copies only what changed to the reporting model 1.0 Seconds All data on the form is synchronized 14.5 Seconds Smart Push Data synchronizes to the reporting cube for analysis 01 0110 0001 01101 Groovy selects only edited cells and executes the logic on only products and periods that changed 0.3 Seconds All products on the form are calculated 26.1 Seconds Business Logic Growth rates are entered at total product breakouts and allocated to the detailed level With the inclusion of Groovy and access to the Java API, more customization can be integrated to maximum performance and achieve real time consolidated reporting Submit Planner Input User submits updates to the Gross Profit model at a detailed product level that exists at a more granular level than in the P&L model Groovy and PBCS 19OVOAUG / Goodfriend
Reporting includes all updates from detailed modules (product, Capex, workforce, and similar modules) and is included in real time as changes are made Consolidated Reporting Reporting includes all updates from detailed modules (product, Capex, workforce, and similar modules) at scheduled intervals users have to wait to see consolidated information REAL WORLD PROCESS EXAMPLE (SPEED & FUNCTIONALITY) Automated Process Administrative processes are executed to run all business logic and model synchronizations The entire data set is consolidated and moved to the P&L model 12.0 Seconds Dimensions are consolidated and copied to the P&L model 663.6 Seconds Global Consolidation Global product consolidations are often required to catch all changes and completed during maintenance windows 99% 99% Groovy and PBCS 20OVOAUG / Goodfriend
SHOULD YOU CONSIDER GROOVY AS AN OPTION NEW IMPLEMENTATIONS • On premise implementations that want better performance • PBCS implementations that have performance issues due to • Large dimensions • Complex calculations • Detailed planning input • Do not have real time reporting • Implementations that need more complex user input validation • Applications that want proactive data validation
SHOULD YOU CONSIDER GROOVY AS AN OPTION EXISTING IMPLEMENTATIONS • Have complex models • Have large dimensions • Require data input validation • Require real time consolidated reporting
SO, PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY WILL BENEFIT FROM THE BENEFITS OF GROOVY
• ePBCS and PBCS+1 have access to create Groovy calculations • Groovy calculations open up the Java API and provide a user experience never before available • Have access to use groovy to interact with the user and customize commands sent to the PBCS There is currently no expectation that Oracle will make Groovy Calculations available in future on-premise releases GROOVY AVAILABILITY AND LICENSING Groovy and PBCS 24OVOAUG / Goodfriend
EXPERTISE NEEDED Intuitive Developers Groovy may be built on Java, but Java developers are not required to successfully implement Groovy into PBCS. Experienced developers who have knowledge within PBCS and understand basic functionality with scripting will be able to use Groovy training materials and global rules to build an application with groovy that fits a clients performance needs. It only takes a little groovy knowledge to exponentially improve ePBCS performance. Visionary Managers Managers who can understand, interpret, and plan the execution of requirements with Groovy will build exceptional applications. Managers will communicate how Groovy fills performance gaps that existed prior to it’s release and help clients understand why Groovy is a necessary element of any planning application. Groovy and PBCS 25OVOAUG / Goodfriend
FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY What is available with Groovy calculations Groovy and PBCS 26OVOAUG / Goodfriend
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW Proactive User Input Validation Users are prompted for input frequently, for things like employee properties, x, and x. This data can be validated prior to any business logic to ensure consistent and valid data input. Proactive Data Validation User input can be validated and can interrupt the data form save proactively. For example, if an employee is not fully allocated, the allocation will not save until the allocation is 100% Selective Data Synchronization Data between input and reporting applications can be near real time due to synchronization being isolated to only edited or effected data, which is now done on user save more frequently due to performance improvement. Selective Business Logic Execution User can now see significantly improved performance on data form input because the business logic can be isolated to only what has been changed or effected. Access to Java Functions Logic that couldn't be completed, or wasn't because of performance issues, can now be accessed and executed at lightening speed. Developers now have access to functions from the Java API. Real Time Consolidated Reporting Data between applications, like workforce, capital, and a consolidated P&L can be synchronized in real time without timely data consolidations.
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW Execute Calculation Logic on ASO Prior to the availability of Groovy, business logic on ASO was not available. Now, all logic that exists in BSO databases is now available through the Java API and can be executed directly in ASO. Advanced Form Traffic Lighting Simple and extremely complex color coding can be added to forms on load and on save. The possibilities are endless and are completely customizable. Custom Logging Developers have complete control over what is logged for review. User information, POV selections, timing, and data that has changed, are just a sample of what can be logged. Custom User Errors Custom messages in an infinite number of languages can be displayed in prompts and added to cells to communicate changes, rule violations, and errors.. Interaction with Strategic Modeling Data movement to and from Strategic Modeling can be done in real time – on form save.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS The speed and agility that Groovy provides in customizing calculations introduces consolidated real time reporting Groovy and PBCS 29OVOAUG / Goodfriend
FILTERED EXECUTION OF DATA FORM UPDATES One of the challenges with Planning is the inability to proactively validate data and communicate that back to the users. With Groovy, this challenge is non existent. Groovy and PBCS 30OVOAUG / Goodfriend
DYNAMIC BUSINESS LOGIC Legacy Business Rule • Provides the ability to pass the POV (Page/Header) to a business rule to isolate what is calculated • Executed on all rows and columns regardless of the state of the data Groovy Calculation • Can access the same POV and can dynamically change business logic based on selections • Can identify the changed cells and can alter the business logic based on results
FILTERED EXECUTION WITHOUT GROOVY Legacy Planning • Provides the ability to pass the POV (Page/Header) to a business rule to isolate what is calculated • Executed on all rows and columns regardless of the state of the data FIX(@RELATIVE(“Vendor”,0),”Jan”:”Dec”,…)
FILTERED EXECUTION WITH GROOVY Groovy Calculation • Can access the same POV and can dynamically change business logic based on selections • Can identify the changed cells and can alter the business logic based on results FIX(“v30000400140003”, “V30000400630008”,”Feb”,”Mar”,”Apr”,”May”,…)
Filtered Data Movement In conjunction with the filtered business logic execution, the same can be ported to the isolation of edited data when moving it to other databases. Data Maps and Smart Pushes Moving and mapping consolidated data between applications with different dimensionality
DATA MOVEMENT SMART PUSH AND DATA MAPS • In conjunction with the filtered business logic execution, data pushes • Override Form Results
REAL TIME CONSOLIDATED REPORTING Detailed App Consolidated P&L Detailed App Consolidated P&L NON GROOVY • All dimensions need to be consolidated • Movement from ASO is not possible • Movement is batched and scheduled WITH GROOVY • NO BSO consolidation is required • Data can be transferred from ASO • Movement is executed on form save
USABILITY ENHANCEMENTS The addition of proactive user interaction allows customized communication and stops users from saving data that violates business rules Groovy and PBCS 37OVOAUG / Goodfriend
TRAFFIC LIGHTING AND CELL LEVEL WARNINGS • The first level of interaction is traffic lighting. • These notification would be the equivalent of warnings if data is valid, but might be incorrect • One cell is larger than all the others in the row • Negative values are not normally entered for a row • Ratios are higher or lower than expected • These can be used in dashboards to point out data anomalies • Large variances • Lowest margins of the organization’s entities • Budget variances
RUN TIME PROMPT • Run Time Prompts can be validated based on pretty much anything you can think of • Users can be asked to execute (deleting data or long running calculations) • Only allow certain characters
DATA FORM VALIDATION • Any validation that can be done using member names, hierarchies, or math is possible • Example • The GP Level 2 % has to be between -10% and 30%. • The Regular Cases CANNOT have one month that is more than 50% of the total cases. • If Regular Cases is entered, a corresponding Average Price per Case is required.
DATA FORM VALIDATION • Example Adjustments can be made to any month • The net change has to be 0 • No change can push the number to a negative number
Eliminate user confusion and data issues can improve a budget and improve productivity by catching problems before they exist. Stopping a user before they enter invalid data, cell by cell warnings, intuitive return messages, it is all here with Groovy. In line data form errors pinpoint where a planning has entered invalid data and eliminate future data frustration validating data. Prompting users with meaningful errors on input improves the user experience and reduces frustration
CUSTOM ERROR PROMPTS • Communicating with the user is far more flexible and effective using Groovy Calculations • Tooltips can be added to cells with custom messages • Cells can be color coded – traffic lighting, warnings, errors, successes • Messages can be managed and used • Multiple languages • Custom messages
FUNCTIONAL DEMO The addition of proactive user interaction allows customized communication and stops users from creating data validity problems Groovy and PBCS 44OVOAUG / Goodfriend
Proactive User Input Validation • New Brand Form Proactive Data Validation • New Brand Form • Phasing Form Selective Data Sync / Selective Business Logic / Real Time Consolidation • Override • Reset Vendors Custom Errors Custom Logging Groovy and PBCS OVOAUG / Goodfriend 45 DEMO SUMMARY
OTHER POSSIBILITIES This was released in July ‘17, so every month there are additional functions and bug fixes released. There is additional functionality available worth noting, as it can introduce significant changes in the Planning landscape Groovy and PBCS 46OVOAUG / Goodfriend
With Groovy, business logic can be written and executed, with results stored in ASO BUSINESS LOGIC CAN BE EXECUTED IN ASO VIA GROOVY BUSINESS LOGIC Allocation logic can be processed in Groovy with the results stored in ASO ALLOCATIONS Data can be loaded to ASO, but has minimal calculation logic ASO LIMITATIONS Currency exchange rates can be accessed and used to calculate and store USD equivalents FX RATES Groovy and PBCS 47OVOAUG / Goodfriend
ACCESS TO JAVA FUNCTIONS • Java functions are available and can be used. These can introduce opportunities to do things never before available, or improve on functions in Essbase that introduce performance degradation. • Math • Strings • If/Then logic • Mapping • Comparisons
CUSTOM LOGGING Logging can be completely customized to include data, user information, performance statistics, logic executed and exception reporting – pretty much anything you can think of. • User information • POVs • Edited cells • Execution time • Information to debug logic Groovy and PBCS 49OVOAUG / Goodfriend
WRITING YOUR FIRST GROOVY CALCULATION The start of being self sufficient begins now Groovy and PBCS 50OVOAUG / Goodfriend
Access to Groovy in calculations can be divided into two functional groups. Both have distinct uses. Non Essbase calculations, like code validation, data pushes, and all other functionality other than the Essbase calculation creation and submission Essbase calculations can be generated and executed based on the results of the user submission
GROOVY CALCULATION WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW • Groovy works in conjunction with the PBCS API • Groovy enables you to use the PBCS API • The PBCS API allows you to interact with PBCS • What is Groovy • Variables • Math functions • String functions • Looping • Writing to the log • What is the API • Most objects start with operator, but any line with an operator/action/reference to a PBCS object
COMMON GROOVY SNIPPETS Interact with the Job console Print / println Store POV members in a variable String Year = operation.grid.find {it.dimName=='Years'}.essbaseMbrName Loop through the cells in a grid operation.grid.dataCellIterator({DataCell cell -> cell.edited}).each { periods << cell.periodName products << cell.getMemberName("Product") } Execute a data push operation.grid.getSmartPush("Employee Data").execute( [ "Employee" : employeesStr ] ) Initiate error messages with a message object def mbUs = messageBundle( ["validation.missingmember.grade":"No Grades found on the Grid."] ) def mbl = messageBundleLoader(["en" : mbUs])
CREATING YOUR FIRST GROOVY SCRIPT • Open Rules in PBCS and create a new rule • Change the dropdown box with from Designer to Edit Script • Change the Script type dropdown box from Calc Script to Groovy Script
GROOVY CALC EXAMPLES println "The Year Is: " + operation.grid.pov.find{it.dimName =='Years'}.essbaseMbrName println "The calculation is finished" String sScenario = '"' + operation.grid.pov.find{it.dimName =='Scenario'}.essbaseMbrName + '"’ println "The scenario is $sScenario" SEND MESSAGE TO THE LOG
GROOVY CALC EXAMPLES """SET CREATENONMISSINGBLK ON; FIX(${fixValues(rtps.Scenario, rtps.Year, rtps.Period, rtps.Entity, rtps.Version, employee)}, "USD") "Employee Phone" = $rtps.EmployeePhone; "Employee Email" = $rtps.EmployeeEmail; ENDFIX;""" - or - Def sEssCalc << """SET CREATENONMISSINGBLK ON; FIX(${fixValues(rtps.Scenario, rtps.Year, rtps.Period, rtps.Entity, rtps.Version, employee)}, "USD") "Employee Phone" = $rtps.EmployeePhone; "Employee Email" = $rtps.EmployeeEmail; ENDFIX;""" Return sEssCalc SENDING CALCULATION TO PLANNING
GROOVY CALC EXAMPLES operation.grid.dataCellIterator.each { if(it.missing) { it.bgColor = 0x00BFFF } else if(it.data <= 50000) it.bgColor = 0xFF8C00 else if(it.data > 50000) it.bgColor = 0x00FA9A } ITERATE THROUGH CELLS
GROOVY CALC EXAMPLES operation.grid.dataCellIterator.each {{DataCell cell -> cell.edited} if(it.missing) { it.bgColor = 0x00BFFF } else if(it.data <= 50000) it.bgColor = 0xFF8C00 else if(it.data > 50000) it.bgColor = 0x00FA9A } ITERATE THROUGH EDITED CELLS

  • 12. WHAT IS GROOVY Apache Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities, for the Java platform aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, familiar and easy to learn syntax. It integrates smoothly with any Java program, and immediately delivers to your application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain- Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta-programming and functional programming. Groovy and PBCS 12OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 13. FLAVORS OF GROOVY RELATED TO PBCS Groovy can be used to access the API to do all kinds of things, including automation, system backups, and user communication. This discussion will focus on the ability to access Groovy INSIDE the calculation manager only. Groovy and PBCS 13OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 14. On-Premise made Groovy available late in 2017, and provides the developers to ability to execute Groovy scripts from Business Rules. PBCS integrated Groovy into Calculation Manager in June of 2017 CLOUD VS ON-PREMISE PBCS provides the ability to interact with the Planning objects and in real time and execute logic based on the user’s actions On-Premise provides the ability to run Groovy scripts. It provides complete access to the Groovy language independent of the Planning objects Both have advantages over each other, are similar in the functionality they provide, but are drastically different in some of the results they can produce Groovy and PBCS 14OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 15. Seamlessly and transparently integrates and interoperates with Java and any third-party libraries BENEFITS OF GROOVY SMOOTH JAVA INTEGRATION Closures, builders, runtime & compile-time meta-programming, functional programming, type inference, and static compilation POWERFUL FEATURES Concise, readable and expressive syntax, easy to learn for Java developers FLAT LEARNING CURVE Web development, reactive applications, concurrency / asynchronous / parallelism library, test frameworks, build tools, code analysis, GUI building VIBRANT AND RICH ECOSYSTEM Groovy and PBCS 15OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 16. Great for writing concise and maintainable tests, and for all your build and automation tasks BENEFITS OF GROOVY SCRIPTING AND TESTING GLUE Apache Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities, for the Java platform aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, familiar and easy to learn syntax. It integrates smoothly with any Java program, and immediately delivers to your application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain-Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta- programming and functional programming. WHAT IS GROOVY Flexible & malleable syntax, advanced integration & customization mechanisms, to integrate readable business rules in your applications DOMAIN-SPECIFIC LANGUAGES Groovy and PBCS 16OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 17. IMPACT TO PBCS DESIGN AND OPTIONS AVAILABLE • Java development is fast tracked and maintenance is simplified • Developers get all the functionality of the Java API • The knowledge required to construct complex functionality is far less with Groovy • PBCS is built with Groovy so it is going to be a part of the product roadmap • Within PBCS • Access to use groovy to interact with the user • Customize commands sent to the Essbase
  • 18. IMPACT TO IMPLEMENTATION A plethora of new and enhanced functions exist to improve performance and the user experience that can be explored Groovy and PBCS 18OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 19. REAL WORLD USER EXAMPLE (SPEED & FUNCTIONALITY) 99%IMPROVEMENT 98% 99% Reporting includes all updates from detailed modules (product, Capex, workforce, and similar modules) and is included in real time as changes are made Consolidated Reporting Reporting includes all updates from detailed modules (product, Capex, workforce, and similar modules) at scheduled intervals users have to wait to see consolidated information Groovy eliminates the need to consolidate the BSO cube and copies data directly from the ASO cube at a consolidated level .2 Seconds Dimensions are consolidated and copied to the P&L model 82.9 Seconds Consolidated P&L Product detailed dimensions are consolidated and moved to the P&L model Groovy selects only the cells that where edited and copies only what changed to the reporting model 1.0 Seconds All data on the form is synchronized 14.5 Seconds Smart Push Data synchronizes to the reporting cube for analysis 01 0110 0001 01101 Groovy selects only edited cells and executes the logic on only products and periods that changed 0.3 Seconds All products on the form are calculated 26.1 Seconds Business Logic Growth rates are entered at total product breakouts and allocated to the detailed level With the inclusion of Groovy and access to the Java API, more customization can be integrated to maximum performance and achieve real time consolidated reporting Submit Planner Input User submits updates to the Gross Profit model at a detailed product level that exists at a more granular level than in the P&L model Groovy and PBCS 19OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 20. Reporting includes all updates from detailed modules (product, Capex, workforce, and similar modules) and is included in real time as changes are made Consolidated Reporting Reporting includes all updates from detailed modules (product, Capex, workforce, and similar modules) at scheduled intervals users have to wait to see consolidated information REAL WORLD PROCESS EXAMPLE (SPEED & FUNCTIONALITY) Automated Process Administrative processes are executed to run all business logic and model synchronizations The entire data set is consolidated and moved to the P&L model 12.0 Seconds Dimensions are consolidated and copied to the P&L model 663.6 Seconds Global Consolidation Global product consolidations are often required to catch all changes and completed during maintenance windows 99% 99% Groovy and PBCS 20OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 21. SHOULD YOU CONSIDER GROOVY AS AN OPTION NEW IMPLEMENTATIONS • On premise implementations that want better performance • PBCS implementations that have performance issues due to • Large dimensions • Complex calculations • Detailed planning input • Do not have real time reporting • Implementations that need more complex user input validation • Applications that want proactive data validation
  • 22. SHOULD YOU CONSIDER GROOVY AS AN OPTION EXISTING IMPLEMENTATIONS • Have complex models • Have large dimensions • Require data input validation • Require real time consolidated reporting
  • 23. SO, PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY WILL BENEFIT FROM THE BENEFITS OF GROOVY
  • 24. • ePBCS and PBCS+1 have access to create Groovy calculations • Groovy calculations open up the Java API and provide a user experience never before available • Have access to use groovy to interact with the user and customize commands sent to the PBCS There is currently no expectation that Oracle will make Groovy Calculations available in future on-premise releases GROOVY AVAILABILITY AND LICENSING Groovy and PBCS 24OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 25. EXPERTISE NEEDED Intuitive Developers Groovy may be built on Java, but Java developers are not required to successfully implement Groovy into PBCS. Experienced developers who have knowledge within PBCS and understand basic functionality with scripting will be able to use Groovy training materials and global rules to build an application with groovy that fits a clients performance needs. It only takes a little groovy knowledge to exponentially improve ePBCS performance. Visionary Managers Managers who can understand, interpret, and plan the execution of requirements with Groovy will build exceptional applications. Managers will communicate how Groovy fills performance gaps that existed prior to it’s release and help clients understand why Groovy is a necessary element of any planning application. Groovy and PBCS 25OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 26. FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY What is available with Groovy calculations Groovy and PBCS 26OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 27. FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW Proactive User Input Validation Users are prompted for input frequently, for things like employee properties, x, and x. This data can be validated prior to any business logic to ensure consistent and valid data input. Proactive Data Validation User input can be validated and can interrupt the data form save proactively. For example, if an employee is not fully allocated, the allocation will not save until the allocation is 100% Selective Data Synchronization Data between input and reporting applications can be near real time due to synchronization being isolated to only edited or effected data, which is now done on user save more frequently due to performance improvement. Selective Business Logic Execution User can now see significantly improved performance on data form input because the business logic can be isolated to only what has been changed or effected. Access to Java Functions Logic that couldn't be completed, or wasn't because of performance issues, can now be accessed and executed at lightening speed. Developers now have access to functions from the Java API. Real Time Consolidated Reporting Data between applications, like workforce, capital, and a consolidated P&L can be synchronized in real time without timely data consolidations.
  • 28. FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW Execute Calculation Logic on ASO Prior to the availability of Groovy, business logic on ASO was not available. Now, all logic that exists in BSO databases is now available through the Java API and can be executed directly in ASO. Advanced Form Traffic Lighting Simple and extremely complex color coding can be added to forms on load and on save. The possibilities are endless and are completely customizable. Custom Logging Developers have complete control over what is logged for review. User information, POV selections, timing, and data that has changed, are just a sample of what can be logged. Custom User Errors Custom messages in an infinite number of languages can be displayed in prompts and added to cells to communicate changes, rule violations, and errors.. Interaction with Strategic Modeling Data movement to and from Strategic Modeling can be done in real time – on form save.
  • 29. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS The speed and agility that Groovy provides in customizing calculations introduces consolidated real time reporting Groovy and PBCS 29OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 30. FILTERED EXECUTION OF DATA FORM UPDATES One of the challenges with Planning is the inability to proactively validate data and communicate that back to the users. With Groovy, this challenge is non existent. Groovy and PBCS 30OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 31. DYNAMIC BUSINESS LOGIC Legacy Business Rule • Provides the ability to pass the POV (Page/Header) to a business rule to isolate what is calculated • Executed on all rows and columns regardless of the state of the data Groovy Calculation • Can access the same POV and can dynamically change business logic based on selections • Can identify the changed cells and can alter the business logic based on results
  • 32. FILTERED EXECUTION WITHOUT GROOVY Legacy Planning • Provides the ability to pass the POV (Page/Header) to a business rule to isolate what is calculated • Executed on all rows and columns regardless of the state of the data FIX(@RELATIVE(“Vendor”,0),”Jan”:”Dec”,…)
  • 33. FILTERED EXECUTION WITH GROOVY Groovy Calculation • Can access the same POV and can dynamically change business logic based on selections • Can identify the changed cells and can alter the business logic based on results FIX(“v30000400140003”, “V30000400630008”,”Feb”,”Mar”,”Apr”,”May”,…)
  • 34. Filtered Data Movement In conjunction with the filtered business logic execution, the same can be ported to the isolation of edited data when moving it to other databases. Data Maps and Smart Pushes Moving and mapping consolidated data between applications with different dimensionality
  • 35. DATA MOVEMENT SMART PUSH AND DATA MAPS • In conjunction with the filtered business logic execution, data pushes • Override Form Results
  • 36. REAL TIME CONSOLIDATED REPORTING Detailed App Consolidated P&L Detailed App Consolidated P&L NON GROOVY • All dimensions need to be consolidated • Movement from ASO is not possible • Movement is batched and scheduled WITH GROOVY • NO BSO consolidation is required • Data can be transferred from ASO • Movement is executed on form save
  • 37. USABILITY ENHANCEMENTS The addition of proactive user interaction allows customized communication and stops users from saving data that violates business rules Groovy and PBCS 37OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 38. TRAFFIC LIGHTING AND CELL LEVEL WARNINGS • The first level of interaction is traffic lighting. • These notification would be the equivalent of warnings if data is valid, but might be incorrect • One cell is larger than all the others in the row • Negative values are not normally entered for a row • Ratios are higher or lower than expected • These can be used in dashboards to point out data anomalies • Large variances • Lowest margins of the organization’s entities • Budget variances
  • 39. RUN TIME PROMPT • Run Time Prompts can be validated based on pretty much anything you can think of • Users can be asked to execute (deleting data or long running calculations) • Only allow certain characters
  • 40. DATA FORM VALIDATION • Any validation that can be done using member names, hierarchies, or math is possible • Example • The GP Level 2 % has to be between -10% and 30%. • The Regular Cases CANNOT have one month that is more than 50% of the total cases. • If Regular Cases is entered, a corresponding Average Price per Case is required.
  • 41. DATA FORM VALIDATION • Example Adjustments can be made to any month • The net change has to be 0 • No change can push the number to a negative number
  • 42. Eliminate user confusion and data issues can improve a budget and improve productivity by catching problems before they exist. Stopping a user before they enter invalid data, cell by cell warnings, intuitive return messages, it is all here with Groovy. In line data form errors pinpoint where a planning has entered invalid data and eliminate future data frustration validating data. Prompting users with meaningful errors on input improves the user experience and reduces frustration
  • 43. CUSTOM ERROR PROMPTS • Communicating with the user is far more flexible and effective using Groovy Calculations • Tooltips can be added to cells with custom messages • Cells can be color coded – traffic lighting, warnings, errors, successes • Messages can be managed and used • Multiple languages • Custom messages
  • 44. FUNCTIONAL DEMO The addition of proactive user interaction allows customized communication and stops users from creating data validity problems Groovy and PBCS 44OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 45. Proactive User Input Validation • New Brand Form Proactive Data Validation • New Brand Form • Phasing Form Selective Data Sync / Selective Business Logic / Real Time Consolidation • Override • Reset Vendors Custom Errors Custom Logging Groovy and PBCS OVOAUG / Goodfriend 45 DEMO SUMMARY
  • 46. OTHER POSSIBILITIES This was released in July ‘17, so every month there are additional functions and bug fixes released. There is additional functionality available worth noting, as it can introduce significant changes in the Planning landscape Groovy and PBCS 46OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 47. With Groovy, business logic can be written and executed, with results stored in ASO BUSINESS LOGIC CAN BE EXECUTED IN ASO VIA GROOVY BUSINESS LOGIC Allocation logic can be processed in Groovy with the results stored in ASO ALLOCATIONS Data can be loaded to ASO, but has minimal calculation logic ASO LIMITATIONS Currency exchange rates can be accessed and used to calculate and store USD equivalents FX RATES Groovy and PBCS 47OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 48. ACCESS TO JAVA FUNCTIONS • Java functions are available and can be used. These can introduce opportunities to do things never before available, or improve on functions in Essbase that introduce performance degradation. • Math • Strings • If/Then logic • Mapping • Comparisons
  • 49. CUSTOM LOGGING Logging can be completely customized to include data, user information, performance statistics, logic executed and exception reporting – pretty much anything you can think of. • User information • POVs • Edited cells • Execution time • Information to debug logic Groovy and PBCS 49OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 50. WRITING YOUR FIRST GROOVY CALCULATION The start of being self sufficient begins now Groovy and PBCS 50OVOAUG / Goodfriend
  • 51. Access to Groovy in calculations can be divided into two functional groups. Both have distinct uses. Non Essbase calculations, like code validation, data pushes, and all other functionality other than the Essbase calculation creation and submission Essbase calculations can be generated and executed based on the results of the user submission
  • 52. GROOVY CALCULATION WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW • Groovy works in conjunction with the PBCS API • Groovy enables you to use the PBCS API • The PBCS API allows you to interact with PBCS • What is Groovy • Variables • Math functions • String functions • Looping • Writing to the log • What is the API • Most objects start with operator, but any line with an operator/action/reference to a PBCS object
  • 53. COMMON GROOVY SNIPPETS Interact with the Job console Print / println Store POV members in a variable String Year = operation.grid.find {it.dimName=='Years'}.essbaseMbrName Loop through the cells in a grid operation.grid.dataCellIterator({DataCell cell -> cell.edited}).each { periods << cell.periodName products << cell.getMemberName("Product") } Execute a data push operation.grid.getSmartPush("Employee Data").execute( [ "Employee" : employeesStr ] ) Initiate error messages with a message object def mbUs = messageBundle( ["validation.missingmember.grade":"No Grades found on the Grid."] ) def mbl = messageBundleLoader(["en" : mbUs])
  • 54. CREATING YOUR FIRST GROOVY SCRIPT • Open Rules in PBCS and create a new rule • Change the dropdown box with from Designer to Edit Script • Change the Script type dropdown box from Calc Script to Groovy Script
  • 55.
