- 17. Accelytics • In2Hyperion18 Getting Groovy with ePBCS is Game Changing Tuesday, September 11, 2018 FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW Proactive User Input Validation Users are prompted for input frequently for things like employee, project, capex, and product properties. 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 form will not save until it is 100%. Selective Data Synchronization Data between input and reporting applications can be near real-time because synchronization is isolated to only the edited or effected data. It can now be executed on form save due to performance improvements. Selective Business Logic Execution Users 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.
- 18. Accelytics • In2Hyperion19 Getting Groovy with ePBCS is Game Changing Tuesday, September 11, 2018 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 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.

- 38. REAL-TIME CONSOLIDATED REPORTING DATA FLOW PART 1 •Intra-model (GP) data movement User Enters Data Data Saved to BSO Business Logic Runs Smart Push to ASO Consolidated Data These objects are all physical artifacts in the Planning application 1. The user submits changes to the data in a data form 2. The data is stored in the BSO database 3. The appropriate business logic is executed on the respective POV 4. A Smart Push is executed to move the updated data to the ASO database 5. The data is available at consolidated levels * In the sample application, this application includes breakouts that the P&L cube does not have (Product, Order Method, and Delivery Channel)
- 39. REAL-TIME CONSOLIDATED REPORTING DATA FLOW PART 2 •Inter-model data movement Virtual forms can be created to simulate a data retrieve and data submission 1. A virtual form is dynamically created on the POV to retrieve data from the GP ASO database to pull consolidated data at the dimensions that don’t exist in the P&L database. 2. Virtual forms is dynamically created on the POV to submit data to the P&L ASO and BSO databases 3.
