GROOVY
NEED TO KNOW

Groovy in Laymen’s Terms
§ Another scripting language
§ Makes use of Java for us non-Java programmers much easier
§ Flat learning curve
§ Integrates with Java libraries seamlessly
§ Use for web development, scripting, independent compilation
§ Powerful features

On Premise vs Cloud
§ Cloud API (everything we talk about today)
– EPBCS and PBCS+1
– Enterprise Cloud Planning
§ On premise
– Used for Custom Defined Functions
– Completely different than what we talk about today
§ Cloud API movement to on premise
– Not in the roadmap

Time To Retrain Your Brain
§ Architecture decisions
– ASO/BSO/Hybrid
– Entering data anywhere
– Performance
– Calculation thought process
§ Project timelines
– More functionality adds time
– Quicker build reduces time
§ Fix data issues before they happen
§ All plan types synchronized on save
§ Reduced maintenance
– Fewer variables
– Automate metadata changes in calculations
§ Automation
– Less of a need when data is moved on save
– Database sizes are smaller

Reporting includes all updates from
detailed modules (product, Capex,

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

Dimensions are consolidated
and copied to the P&L model
