I Can do WHAT with PCMCS? Features and Functions, Business Benefits, and Use...Alithya
Profitability is a major indicator of business performance. Unfortunately, the typical financial system manages expenses and revenues from different perspectives. As a result, finance teams often rely on large, complex allocation models (sometimes “black box” systems) to provide management with the strategic P&Ls by geographical area, business unit, product, segment, and more—all in an attempt to pivot from “what it is,” to “what it’s for.” Regardless of industry, company size, or function, more strategic insight into underlying cost structures and their impact on profitability is necessary.
Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management Cloud Service (PCMCS) is a performance management application that introduces a world of possibilities for organizations to enhance financial data generated through their general ledgers and EPM systems into meaningful, accurate, and consumable information. Unlike traditional profitability systems, which require a large investment in both infrastructure and related technical overhead, PCMCS allows business users to easily create and manage their profitability systems with unparalleled speed and efficiency, supporting numerous use cases in both the financial close and management reporting domains, including IT financial management, operational transfer pricing, expense allocations, fully allocated P&L, strategic P&Ls, and operational profitability.
Attend this session to learn how PCMCS is an effective solution with benefits for every industry—one that empowers business users to gain insight into hidden profit and cost across key business dimensions. The presentation provides an overview of business needs using a perspective around corporate and shared service allocations.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Top 10 Tips and Tricks for Faster FR Reporting

7. Top 10 Tips for Faster Reports
1. Is it Essbase or FR? Optimize for Retrievals
2. Grid Point Of View
3. Limit Page Members for PDF Viewing
4. Limit Conditional Formatting
5. Limit Number of Combinations
6. Utilize expanded data segments when possible
7. Push calculations to the Essbase Server
8. Efficient Report Calculations
9. Multiple Print Servers
10. Data Query Optimization
7
8. Slow Report – Is it Essbase or FR?
Run the same report using the Microsoft Excel Add-in or
Smart View
If the report runs fast in Excel and slow in Reports, the
issue is on the Reports server
Check out the following tips for faster reports
If Essbase is the culprit, review your Essbase design
Dense / Sparse settings
Hierarchy settings
Caches
8
9. Using a Grid POV
Grid POV vs Paging Members
Grid POV – can be set up to allow users to change Grid
POV (works similar to a “Page”) without all of the
processing
When page is selected, the report will run for all of the
page members
Also a good way to “fix” a member selection for a report
9
10. Limit Page Members for PDF Viewing
All pages must be rendered so limiting the number of
members in pages leads to faster reporting.
See the tip about using Grid POVs.
10
11. Limit Conditional Formatting
Limit Conditional Formatting – Slows down the report
ESPECIALLY when you use a function that requires
Essbase
Essbase processes the request line by line; this will tie up
the Essbase server, Reports server, and the network
Example – If Gen 2 then X, else if Gen 3 then Y.
11
12. Limit Number of Combinations
Instead of saying DIMBOTTOM, narrow down the
member selection to reduce the number of combinations
that will be retrieved from the server.
E.g
12
13. Expanded Data Segments
For data queries, use Expanded Data Segments when
you know “data exists”
Expanded data segment is a row or column that can be
expanded (Children of, Descendants of…)
Dynamically update the report based on the Essbase OTL
… so if new members or levels are inserted into the Essbase OTL, the
report will automatically refresh
Limitation - formatting is applied across all members in the
expanded data segment; Conditional formatting could be used
to address this issue
If you have detailed formatting or calculation requirements, then
you must use single data segments
Flip side – if you know it is only one or two members
that will have data, just pull those members (vs. pulling
everything and suppressing data
13
14. Expanded Data Segments
Use conditional formatting
to apply formatting by
level or generation – see
earlier tip.
14
15. Push Calculations to the Hyperion Essbase
Sever
Hyperion Reports has an expansive list of formula and
calculation capabilities
But… this means processing on the Reports server
If you can, push calculations back to the Essbase server
Benefits
Faster
Standard formula across all reports accessible to
users
(Data integrity)
Central place for business rule / calculation logic
(Update the formula once vs. several times
throughout all reports)
15
16. Efficient Calculations / Functions
Use row / column formulas (vs. cell formulas)
Use reference properties
Any row, column, or cell reference can have a
property associated with it
Example: Two formulas that reach the same result
Row reference - [1:5].sum
Sum Function - Sum([1:5])
First formula executes faster since it is being used as
a reference property
Remove unnecessary parenthesis from formulas
16
17. Multiple Print Servers
Multiple print servers assist in generation of PDFs. The report
server will distribute print jobs in a round robin format to
multiple print servers, providing a shared workload.
1. Stop all Hyperion Reports services
2. Open with Notepad the hr_repserver.properties file located in "C:Program FilesHyperion
SolutionsHyperion ReportsPackages".
3. Next to the setting "NumberOfPrintServers=", specify the number of print servers you will
use.
4. Add an entry for each print server and specify the machine name or IP address of each
Print Server in the following convention: printserver1=machineA
5. On each print server, install Adobe Acrobat Writer or Ghostscript and install Hyperion
Reports. During the installation of Hyperion Reports, select the box to install only the Print
Server.
6. On each print server, execute the print server batch file through START->PROGRAMS-
>HYPERION SOLUTIONS->HYPERION REPORTS->START PRINT SERVER or by
double-clicking StartPrintServer.cmd file located in "C:Program FilesHyperion
SolutionsHyperion ReportsBin“
7. Start the Hyperion Reports Services in the Hyperion Reports server.
17
18. Data Query Optimization Options
Suppress Missing on the Hyperion Essbase Server
For reports with a sparse dimension and at least one
associated attribute dimension in the grid row, “Include”
the the Essbase Sparse option
18
19. Data Query Optimization Options
Suppress Missing on the Hyperion Essbase Server
For reports with a sparse dimension and at least one
associated attribute dimension in the grid row, “Include”
the Essbase Sparse option
New option to use MDX that is selected by default (you
may want to turn off if having performance / other
strange issues
19
20. Other Recent Tip – FR Hanging / Crashing?
Two clients recently had this issue with FR
Problem ended up being large PDF jobs that exceeded the JVM
heap for the HRPrinting.exe process
It would leave an orphan HRPrinting.exe process running using
300MB (visible through Task Manager).
Once there were 5 orphaned HRPrinting.exe
processes HyS9FRPrint.exe wouldn't spawn any more, if we
killed one of the orphan HRPrinting.exe processes the
HyS9FRPrint.exe would spawn a new HRPrinting.exe and run
successfully (unless it was larger than the allowed memory).
Solution
It helped but didn't prevent the problem to increase the JVM
setting from -XMX256M to -XMX512M in the registry at
Hyperion SolutionHReportsJVMJVM Option2 (Can’t set higher
than 512 MB)
Create smaller batches
20
21. And Don’t Forget…
Financial Reporting is not designed for dim bottom across all of
your sparse dimensions
If you are trying to build this type of report, you WILL have
performance issues
21
22. Couple of Final Thoughts
Planning to Reporting Functionality in Planning 11.1.2
Map Smartlist Values to Based Dimensions
Execute Reports within Excel Using SmartView
More preferable than running in Workspace and then exporting
to Excel
Sometimes you just have to run the utility to clear the POV for all
users in FR…
