QUESTION NO: 2
Identify the two true statements about a sparse Entity dimension In Hyperion Planning.
A. You cannot build alternate rollups or assign custom attributes.
B. Base currencies are assigned to entity members.
C. Exchange rates are assigned to entity members.
D. Entity along with Scenario and Period make up a planning unit.
E. Entity along with Scenario and Version make up a planning unit.
Answer: B,E
Explanation: E: The Scenario and Version dimensions represent the broadest categories of data
in your application. Scenario describes the type of data that a plan includes, such as budget,
actual, or forecast, as well as the time span that the plan covers.
Version allows for flexibility and iterative planning cycles. For example, your application could have

two versions, Working and Final, for each scenario. You can also use versions to model possible
outcomes based on different assumptions about interest rates, growth rates, and so on. For
example, your application an have a Best Case and Worst Case version for each scenario.
Note:
Essbase maximizes performance by dividing the Essbase - Standard dimensions of an application
into two types:
dense dimensions
sparse dimensions.
Sparse and dense are a property of the values of an attribute.
Sparse
Data is normally stored in sparse form. If no value exists for a given combination of dimension
values, no row exists in the fact table. For example, if not every product is sold in every market. In
this case, Market and Product are sparse dimensions.
It's why in the reporting tool Obiee for instance, by default, data are considered sparse.
Dense
Most multidimensional databases may also contain dense dimensions. A fact table is considered
to have dense data if it has (of a high probability to have) one row for every combination of its
associated dimension levels.
QUESTION NO: 3
In a non-multicurrency Planning application, what three things happen if all options are checked
for Refresh Database?
A. Dimension and member changes are pushed to Essbase.
B. Cell text and supporting detail changes are pushed to Essbase.
C. Security filters for dimensions and members are pushed to Essbase.
D. Security filters for shared members are pushed to Essbase.
E. Data changes are pushed to Essbase.
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation: During refresh:
* Essbase security filters are updated (C, D)
* Currency conversion calc scripts are updated

* Accounts or associated properties are propagated from the relational database to the Essbase
database
* Custom attributes are added, modified, or deleted in the Essbase database
* Exchange rate values are repopulated in the Essbase outline
* Member formulas for certain accounts are generated or updated
* Additions or changes to alias tables and their association to dimensions or members are updated
(A)
* The Essbase database is restructured
* UDAs are added to the Essbase database

QUESTION NO: 4
You are designing a monthly projection Planning application. A starting point projection file is
received with the current month data. Data forms, Business Rules, and Essbase data load rules,
and reports should always focus on the current projection month.
What is most efficient way to design the components to reduce maintenance each month?
A. Manually update the forms each month and use a "CurMth" substitution variable for Business
Rules, Essbase data load rules, and reports.
B. Manually update the forms each month; Use "CurMo" Global variable for Business Rules and
use a "CurMth" substitution variable for Essbase data load rules, and reports.
C. Use the Planning data form utility to update data forms and use a "CurMth" substitution variable
for Business Rules, Essbase data load rules, and reports.
D. Use a "CurMth" substitution variable for data forms, Business Rules, Essbase data load rules,
and reports.
E. Use the Planning data form utility to update data forms; Use "CurMo" Global variable for
Business Rules and use a "CurMth" substitution variable for Essbase data load rules, and reports.
Answer: E
Explanation: In Business Rules use a global variable.
In Essbase, use a substitution variable.
QUESTION NO: 5
Identify three key benefits of the Planning solution.

A. Standardized data forms for plan data entry available bothfor the Web and in Excel
B. Onetool to budget and forecast as well as provide reporting for very detailed Actuals
Information
C. Central repository of business rules that can be run by end users to calculate plan data
D. Detailed security down to the cell level
E. Flexible solution customizable for almost any kind of budgeting and forecasting process
Answer: A,C,E
Explanation: A: Hyperion Planning leverages Multidimensional functionalities and capabilities of
Essbase to the fullest to provide varied planning options along with inherent Data Forms, MS
Excel, Web based grid interface for the data entry and reporting needs.ata Forms in Hyperion
planning provides a standard centralized grid-based interface for data entry and data-checks.
Customizing or fixing a Data Form issues take lesser time and effort compared to the Excel based
spreadsheets.
C: Use of a central repository makes administration and maintenance of business rules easy,
because the repository stores information for several applications in one database.
A user or group who has the role of basic user can do these tasks:
* Launch business rules and sequences to which the user has access
* View business rules and sequences to which the users has access
* View all variables and macros
* Edit business rules, sequences, macros, variables, and projects for which the user was
granted editing privileges
E: Oracle Hyperion Planning provides an in-depth look at business operations and its related
impact on financials, by tightly integrating financial and operational planning models. With Oracle
Hyperion Planning you can meet your immediate financial planning needs while enabling a
platform for future cross-functional expansion and automated process integration.

QUESTION NO: 6
The budget office analyst needs to enter and plan data, use the Planning spreading feature that
allow users to spread budget data based on last year's actuals, and modify data forms. What two
roles should be provisioned for this user?
A. Grid Spread
B. Planner
C. Interactive User
D. Mass Allocate

E. Offline User
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
Planner:
The majority of Hyperion Planning users are planners who are responsible for department or
project budgets. They conveniently work over the Web or the Spreadsheet Add-in to:
Enter, submit, and view data
Use pre-defined policies, procedures, routines, reports, and worksheets to enter, analyze, and
report on application data
Interactive User:
Examples of an interactive user include a department head, sales director, or unit manager who
submits budget information and data for approval. Interactive users can enter and view data. They
can also create, maintain, and initiate:
Data entry forms on the Web
Spreadsheet Add-in worksheets
Reports using Hyperion Reports
Integrations using Hyperion Application Link
Business rules using Hyperion Business Rules
QUESTION NO: 7
You are designing the storage properties for your Planning application. What two design principles
should you follow related to the dynamic calc storage property?
A. Dynamically calculated members should roll up to stored members.
B. You cannot calculate and store dynamic calculated members in calc scripts and business rules.
C. Consider dynamic calc members on sparse parents with 100 t children.
D. Tagging upper-level members ofsparsedimensions can reduce block size.
E. If you use a large number of dynamic calcs, you should consider increasing the Dynamic
Calculator Cache.
F. Consider Dynamic Calc and Store over Dynamic Calc.
Answer: B,E
Explanation:
B:
"If you specify a Dynamic Calc or Dynamic Calc and Store member explicitly in a calculation script,
the calculation script fails. You cannot do a calculation script calculation of a DynamicCalc or
Dynamic Calc and Store member. To use a calculation script to calculate a member explicitly, do

not tag the member as Dynamic Calc.
E: The dynamic calculator cache is a buffer in memory that Essbase uses to store all of the blocks
needed for a calculation of a Dynamic Calc member in a dense dimension (for example, for a
query).
Incorrect answer:
F: Storing the information is no advantage in this scenario.
QUESTION NO: 8
Identify the two true statements with regard to Versions and Scenarios.
A. Versions control data entry based on time periods set by the administrator.
B. There is only one Version to one Scenario.
C. Versions allow several "what-if" Scenarios.
D. Users must have the same security settings in the Version dimension as they have in the
Scenario dimension.
E. Versions can be top down or bottom up.
Answer: C,D
Explanation: C: You use the Scenario and Version dimensions to create individual plans to be
reviewed and
approved. Each scenario/version combination contains its own set of data for the accounts and
other dimensions of each entity. After users complete data entry for an entity for a specific
scenario and version, they can submit or promote the data for the entity to another user for
review and approval. The intersection of entity, scenario, and version is referred to as a
planning unit. Planning tracks the status of each planning unit as it moves through the review
process.
D: Seems likely.
QUESTION NO: 9

C. New group is created.
D. A newMember "East" has OnDESCENDANTSCREAD.access assigned.
E. New business rule is created.

Answer: A,B
Explanation: After you establish or update user and group security, the Planning application
needs to be
refreshed to complete the update to Analytic Services security filters.
Incorrect:
D:This options badly worded. We here assume that the security of the member has not changed.
C,E: no securityhaschanged.

QUESTION NO: 10
Identify two ways that Essbase data load rules cannot manipulate source data files.
A. Select or reject records based on certain criteria.
B. Flip the sign for records with a certain member tagged with a comment.
C. Split or join columns in a source.
D. Find and replace manipulations on source records.
E. Map data based on an external table.
Answer: C,E
Explanation: C:Columns cannotbe split or joined at runtime in the source.
E:An external table cannot be used to map data.
Note:Data Load Rules file is the second type of rules files which is involved in the data load
process.
A data source for data load must contain :
not only the values that you want to load but also identification of the location to which Essbase
should load the values:
a data address that includes one member from every standard dimension in your outline.
QUESTION NO: 11
What four prebuilt actions are available In EAS Business Rules?
A. Aggregate
B. Copy Data

C. Clear Block
D. Clear Data
E. Create Block
F. Allocate
Answer: A,B,D,E
Explanation: You can choose from four possible actions to include in a graphical business rule:
Aggregate
Data, Copy Data, Clear Data, and Create Blocks.
Note:
* Aggregate Data Use to calculate your database by specifying which dimensions to
calculate and what calculation options you want to use during the aggregation.
* Copy DataUse to copy data from one part of your database to another. You select the
source data to copy and then specify the target or destination value.
* Clear DataUse to define a subset of data that will be cleared from the database before a
new value is added. You can choose either to clear cells or to clear blocks of data.
* Create BlocksUse to specify a data slice to ensure that blocks are created for all sparse
member combinations in that slice.

QUESTION NO: 12
Identify the two true statements assuming you are working with a single application with multiple
plan types.
A. A user-defined custom dimension may exist in one plan type but not the other plan types.
B. A user-defined custom dimension may have members in one plan type but not the remaining
plan types.
C. All members in the entity dimension must exist in all plan types.
D. All membersintheaccounts dimension must exist in all plan types.
E. All periods must exist in all plan types.
Answer: A,E
Explanation:
A: Properties for User-Defined Custom Dimensions include property Valid for Plan Types which is
used to select plan types for which the dimension is valid. Clearing this option makes all members
of the dimension invalidfor the deselected plan type.

User-defined custom dimensions differ from the Entity and Account dimensions in that you
assign valid plan types at the dimension level, not at the member level. All members of a userdefined custom dimension are valid for plan types assigned at the dimension level.
Note: Specify one to three plan types for the application. A separate Essbase database is created
for each plan type. You cannot change the name or number of plan types after creating an
application.
As you create accounts, entities, and other elements of the application, you associate them with
plan types, so the database for each plan type contains only information relevant to the plan
type. This optimizes application design, size, and performance.
QUESTION NO: 13
What are the correct predefined types of base time periods that can be established when creating
the calendar in a planning application?
A. Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Custom
B. Monthly, Quarterly, Custom
C. Monthly, Quarterly, Weekly
D. Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, Custom
E. Only Custom periods are possible.
Answer: B
Explanation: To set up the calendar:
1.In the Classic Application Wizard, click Calendar.
2 Select a Base Period option to set how calendars roll up:
*12 Months: Four quarters per year; months roll up into parent quarters and quarters into
years.
*Quarters: Quarters roll up into years.
* Custom: A custom time period, such as weeks or days.
Etc.
Note:
The calendar establishes the applications base time periods, starting fiscal year and month, and
total number of years. Select the base time period and monthly distribution pattern based on
the number of fiscal weeks in a month. The base time period options are the bottom-level time
periods in the application. You can create a custom base time period, such as weeks or days. Use
monthly distribution patterns to determine how data entered into a summary time period is
distributed or spread among the base time period you select. During data entry, users can enter
10

data into summary time periods, such as years or quarters. Planning distributes these values over
the base time periods that constitute the summary time period.

B. It allows the administrator to assignvalid periods for data entry
C. It allows bottoms up or target planning
D. Exchange rate tablesare tied to the Scenario dimension.
E. One member in the scenario dimension may be valid for Plan Type.
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation: A: Specify access rights to members of the Scenario dimension for groups or users.
Access rights
determine users or groups can view or modify data. A user or group can have only one of these
access rights: Read, Write, or None. Access rights for a user can be combined based on groups
to which the user belongs.
B: When creating a scenario For Start Yr., Start Period, End Yr., and End Period are used to
select the time period to associate with the scenario.
D: The Scenario dimension has an Exchange Table property with value of the name of an
exchange rate table defined in the application.

QUESTION NO: 22
A planner is supposed to be able to submit data within a data form.
What are all the possible causes for an end user not being able to enter data on a data form?
Select all that apply.
A. The planning unit is set to first pass.

B. Another user owns the planning unit.
C. The user has read access to the members on the data form.
D. The form contains summary-level membersin a bottom up version.
E. The form is set to Read Only.
Answer: C,D,E
Explanation: C, E: By assigning access to a data form, you control which users can change its
design (for example,
its layout and instructions) and input data. Users can select only members to which they have
read or write access. Users can edit data forms only if they have access to at least one member
of each secured dimension. For example, if users have read-only access to the Europe entity, the
rows and columns on data forms that include the Europe entity are displayed as read-only. Users
can change data only for members to which they have write access.
D: For bottom-up versions, rows and columns with level 0 members allow data entry. Rows or
columns set to a parent member are read-only. The point of view must also be set to the level 0
member to allow data entry on a bottom-up version. Target versions allow data entry in parent
and children members.
If you assign children to bottom-up versions, these versions display as read-only parents on data
forms.

QUESTION NO: 24
Assuming the following dimensions and members:
Scenario - Actual, Budget and Year - 2010, 2011, you need to create a data form with two
columns. One column should list Actual for 2010 and the second column should list Budget 2011.
You do not want to show data for Actual 2011 even though the first three months of the year have
been loaded from the GL.
What is the best way to only show the 2 columns in the data form?
A. You cannot build a data form with these two columns, hour columns will display: Actual >2010,
Actual >2011, Budget->2010 and Budget >2011
B. Use Segments on the data form to create the asymmetric columns.
C. Use User Variables on the data form to create the asymmetric columns.
D. Use a composite data form to meet this requirement.
E. Use data suppression on the data form.
Answer: B
Explanation: Asymmetric rows and columns are ones in which different sets of members are
selected acrossthe same dimension.
QUESTION NO: 25
Identify the three true statements about weekly distribution.
16

A. For Weekly Distribution options 445, 454, 544, the quarterly values are treated as if they
aredivided into 13 weeks and the weeks are distributed via a pattern you specify.
B. The only valid weekly distribution options are 445, 454, and 544.
C. If you select the 4-5-4 Weekly distribution option, Planning treats the first month in the
quarteras if it has 4 weeks, the second month as If it has 5 weeks, and the third month as if it has
4 weeks.
D. If you choose weekly distribution for Custom-based time periods.Planning will not distribute
thedata values across base periods.
E. Weekly distribution determines how data entered into summary periods should spread to its
base periods.
Answer: A,C,E
Explanation: A: If you select a weekly distribution pattern other than Even, Planning treats
quarterly values as if they were divided into 13 weeks and distributes weeks according to the
selected pattern.
E:
Weekly distribution sets the monthly distribution pattern, based on the number of fiscal weeks
in a month. This determines how data in summary time periods spreads within the base time
period. When users enter data into summary time periods, such as quarters, the value is
distributed over base time periods in the summary time period.
QUESTION NO: 26
What are the three supported methods to create and update a member and its properties

QUESTION NO: 28
Identify two true statements about the DATAEXPORT calc script command.
A. Using DATAEXPORT within the FIX statement of a calc script allows you to export specific
datasets from an Essbase database.
B. DATAEXPORT only exports level zero data.
C. DATAEXPORT only exports to flat files.
D. DATAEXPORT only exports entire data blocks.
E. DATAEXPORT is faster thanEssbase Report.
Answer: A,E
Explanation: A: To develop a calculation script that exports a subset of data, you first specify the
SET
DATAEXPORTOPTIONS command to define options for export content, format, and process Use
FIXENDFIX or EXCLUDEENDEXCLUDE calculations to select a slice of the database and
18

use a DATAEXPORTCOND command to select data based on data values.
Note: The DATAEXPORT command enables calculation scripts to export data in binary or text, or
directly to a relational database. A set of data-export-related calculation commands qualify what
data to export and provide various output and formatting options.
Compared to using other methods to export data, using a calculation script has the following
advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages:
Enables exporting a subset of data.
* Supports multiple targets: flat files, relational databases, and binary files (not B, C, D)
* Provides many flexible options for type and format or data.
* As part of a calculation script, can be easily deployed in a batch process.
* Can be very fast when the dynamic calculation export option is not used because DATAEXPORT
directly accesses Kernel storage blocks in memory. (E)
* Provides, through binary export-import, a faster way to back up and restore data because the
compressed format used by binary export requires less storage for the export files.
* Can be used as a debug tool to trace batch calculation results by using the DATAEXPORT
command before and after other calculation commands to track data changes.
Disadvantages
Contains limited data formatting options compared to Report Writer formatting.

7 Update and validate business rules and reports.
B: Attributes can have data types of text, date, Boolean, and numeric.
E: An attribute dimension is a special type of dimension that is associated with a standard
dimension. A standard dimension is any dimension that is not an attribute dimension. When an
attribute dimension is associated with a standard dimension, the standard dimension is the
basedimension for that attribute dimension. I
QUESTION NO: 30
Planning utilizes which type of database to store data (for example, "the numbers")?
A. Block Storage Option Essbase database
B. Aggregate Storage OptionEssbase database
C. Relational database
D. XOLAP database
E. Proprietary database
Answer: A
Explanation: Since version 7, Essbase has supported two "storage options"(BSO and ASO)which
take advantage of sparsity to minimize the amount of physical memory and disk space required to
represent large multidimensional spaces. The Essbase patent describes the original method,
which aimed to reduce the amount of physical memory required without increasing the time
required to look up closely-related values. With the introduction of alternative storage options,
marketing materials called this the Block Storage Option (Essbase BSO), later referred to as
Essbase Analytics.
(BSO) enables driver-based scenario modeling, forecasting, and predictive analytic applications.
20

Note: To give you our idea of the ideal application of ASO and BSO,:
ASO Database: The ASO database is ideal for dynamically built Essbase cubes that are usually
Read Only and used for reporting, presentation, and analysis. This type of database would also
tend to have a rather large outline where at least one dimension has a significant amount
ofmembers. A parts dimension or product dimension comes to mind.Behind this ASO database
would be a large BSO parent Essbase database, from which the dynamic ASO databases are built
on the fly.
BSO Database: The BSO database is ideal for virtually any size cube, but where performance is
not necessarily the number one priority. Accuracy and completeness of data would be the main
consideration. The BSO database is ideal as the large parent database where users from many
different departments can trigger jobs which will dynamically build ASO reporting cubes on an as
needed basis. The typical BSO database is ideally suited for financial analysis applications.

You need to build the Entity into your Classic Planning application. You can dynamically build the
Entity dimension in the Planning application via: (Select all that apply)
A. Essbase load rules

B. Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)
C. Data Integration Management (DIM)
D. Data Relationship Management (DRM)
E. Outline Load Utility
F. EPMA
22

Answer: A,B,C,E,F
Explanation: A: Essbase data load rules: A set of criteria that determines how to load data from a
text-based file, a spreadsheet, or a relational data set into a database.
You can use either the Data Load Rules and the Essbase Administration Services for Essbase
7/Analytic Administration Services for Analytic Services 9.2 or Hyperion Application Link with the
Hyperion Essbase Adapter to load data into a Planning application.
B: Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is a comprehensive data integration platform that
handles any data integration requirementshigh-volume, high-performance batches,
event-driven, trickle-feed integration processes, and SOA-enabled data services.
C: One of the methods of loading Essbase cubes is by using the Hyperion Data Integration
Management and its corresponding Essbase Adapter.
Data Integration Management is integrated with Informatica PowerCenter. It provides a way of
uniting disparate sources of data across an enterprise. For example, it can integrate data stored in
multiple warehouses and data marts, relational database management systems (RDBMS), and
on-line analytical processing (OLAP) stores.
E: The Outline Load Utility that comes with Oracle EPM 11 is a utility for loading the metadata as
well as data into your Planning applications. Using the utility we can load metadata for the default
dimensions like Account, Period, Year, Scenario, Version, Currency, Entity as well as user-defined
dimensions, attributes and UDAs.
F: Enterprise Performance Management Architect or EPMA provides a uniform platform for
metadata management across most of the Hyperion components. It enables administrators to
manage, create, and deploy Hyperion applications within one interface.
With EPMA you can configure dimensions, such as the Entity, and define properties from
predefined, sample libraries.

QUESTION NO: 36
You are designing a form for fast retrieval speed. Assuming a plan type with two dense
dimensions and four sparse dimensions, what is the optimal layout?
A. Sparse dimensions in Page and POV, Dense dimensions in Rows and Columns
B. Sparse dimensions in Rows and Columns, Dense dimensions in Page and POV
C. Sparse dimensions in Page and Columns, Dense dimensions in Rows and POV
D. Sparsedimensions in Page and Rows, Dense dimensions in POV and Columns
E. The layout of sparse and dense dimensions has no impact on form performance;only the
numbercells on a data form impacts form performance.
Answer: A
Explanation: The Hyperion Planning gurus gave us the following advice:
*Row and Column contain dense dimensions only
*Page and Point of View (POV) contain sparse dimensions only
Suppress Missing Data option enabled so as to not display Rows or Columns without data
Split data forms into multiple data forms that contain fewer Rows and Columns
To put it more simply KEEP DATA FORMS SMALL!
Note: Dense dimension: In block storage databases, a dimension
likely to contain data for every combination of dimension
members. For example, time dimensions are often dense
because they can contain all combinations of all members.
Sparse dimension: In block storage databases, a dimension
unlikely to contain data for all member combinations when
compared to other dimensions. For example, not all
customers have data for all products
Point of View (POV): Shows information about other members that are valid for the defined
24

row and column members. POVs identify the database members that populate a data form,
and define data intersections. Members on the rows, columns, and POV axes are constant
(except when they have dynamic user variables).
Page lists: Display different views (pages) of selected member combinations that can span
dimensions, enabling you to work with various member combinations.
QUESTION NO: 37
Why is the Create Blocks function in calc scripts and Business Rules important in Planning?
A. Data may not exist for the combination of dense members so you have to create the block
before calculating the data value for the block.
B. Data may not exist for the combination of sparse members so you have to create the block
before calculating the data value for the block.
C. Data may not exist for the combination of dense members so you have to create the block
before block loading data to the block.
D. Data may not exist for the combination of sparse members so you have to create the block
before loading data value to the block.
Answer: D
Explanation: You can use the Create Blocks action to make sure that blocks are created in the
database for
sparse member combinations in a specified slice of data. Since there is a potential for a large
increase in the database size when creating blocks, be careful when adding this action to your
business rule. To help you get an idea of the size, the system displays a calculation of the block
size and maximum possible blocks that would exist for the specified data slice after the business
rule is launched. Since some blocks may exist in the database, this calculation does not represent
the exact amount of the increase.
Note: You can choose from four possible actions to include in a graphical business rule:
Aggregate
Data, Copy Data, Clear Data, and Create Blocks.
* Create BlocksUse to specify a data slice to ensure that blocks are created for all sparse
member combinations in that slice.
* Aggregate DataUse to calculate your database by specifying which dimensions to calculate
and what calculation options you want to use during the aggregation.
* Copy DataUse to copy data from one part of your database to another. You select the
source data to copy and specify the target or destination value.
* Clear DataUse to define a subset of data that will be cleared from the database before a
25

new value is added. You can choose to clear cells or to clear blocks of data.

QUESTION NO: 40
Name the valid ways to create blocks in an underlying Essbase database. Select all that apply
A. Copy data
B. Load data
C. Create block on Equation
D. Aggregate data
Answer: A,B,C
Explanation: Ways to create data blocks:
1. Data Load, (B)
2. DataCopy Command, (A)
3. Sparse Dimension Consolidation,
4. Member Formulas:
4a. Assiging a constant value to a sparse member,
4b. Turning Create Block on Equation setting on and assiging a non constant value (C)
4c. Create non missing blocks
B: The moment we load data to essbase, It creates block for those combinations automatically.
C: Controls, within a calculation script, whether or not new blocks are created when a calculation
28

formula assigns anything other than a constant to a member of a sparse dimension. SET
CREATEBLOCKONEQ overrides the Create Block on Equation setting for the database.
If calculations result in a value for a sparse dimension member for which no block exists, Analytic
Services creates a new block. Sometimes, the new blocks are not desired; for example, when they
contain no other values. In large databases, creation and processing of unneeded blocks can
increase processing time as well as the storage requirement for a database.
For the situation when new blocks would be created as a result of assigning something other than
a constant to a member of a sparse dimension, Analytic Services provides the Create Blocks on
Equation setting. For example, when the Create Blocks on Equation setting is ON and West is
assigned a value where it did not have a value before, new blocks are created. When this setting
is OFF, new blocks are not created.
Incorrect answer:
Copy DataUse to copy data from one part of your database to another. You select the
source data to copy and specify the target or destination value.
D: Aggregate data. There is no such specific command or utility. It is just a general concept in the
Hyperion context.

What is the best way to build Customer Status into the Planning application?
A. Attribute dimension
B. Varying attribute dimension
C. Smart List
D. Free Form Text
E. Alternate hierarchy
Answer: C
Explanation: Administrators use Smart Lists to create custom drop-down lists that users access
from data form cells. When clicking into cells whose members are associated with a Smart List (as
a member
property), users select items from drop-down lists instead of entering data. Users cannot type
in cells that contain Smart Lists. Smart Lists display in cells as down arrows that expand when
users click into the cells.

Given the following:
Measures (Dense): 40 stored members, 50 total members
Time (Dense): 17 stored members, 17 total members
Scenario (Dense): 2 stored members, 5 total members
Market (Sparse): 100 stored members, 100 total members
Product(Sparse): 500 stored members, 550 total members
What is the block size in bytes?
A. Block size = 40 * 17 * 2
B. Block size = 40 * 17 * 2 * 8
C. Block size = 50 * 17 * 5 * 8
D. Block size = 50 * 17 * 5
E. Block size = 100 * 500 * 8
F. Block size = 100 * 500
Answer: B
Explanation: We need to multiple the stored (not the total) members of the dense dimensions
(here Measures: 40, Time:17, and Dense:2) with 8 to calculate the block size.
Note: Data block size is determined by the amount of data in particular combination of dense
dimensions. For ex: when you change the dense or sparse configuration of one or more
dimensions in the database, the data block size changes. Data block size is 8n bytes, where n is
the number of cells that exist (ie. Stored, not total) for that combination of dense dimensions.Note:
Optimal range is 8 to 100 kb

Identify the three differences between Grid Spreader and Mass Allocate.
A. Grid Spreader processes on the client whereas Mass Allocate processes on the server.
B. Mass Allocate generates and runs a business rule behind the scenes, allowing members not
displayed on the form to be updated.
C. Both M-3CG Allocate and Grid Spreader require special roles in Shared Services.
D. Grid Spreader gives users a "preview" to the spread result before saving whereas Mass
Allocate will automatically save results to the server.
E. Both Mass Allocate and Grid Spreader support relational spread.
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation: Grid spread allocates data across the cells on the webform and runs on the client
browser.Mass allocate triggers a calc script which can allocate data beyond cells those are
available in the form.
33

If your administrator has enabled Grid Spread as a data form property, you can specify an amount
or percentage by which Planning increases or decreases values across multiple dimensions on
the data form, based on the existing values in the target cells. You immediately see the result in
the data form and can save the new data or discard it. When calculating the spread data, Planning
ignores read-only and locked cells and cells having supporting detail. Data integrity is ensured by
spreading values only to cells to which you have access.
If you have the Mass Allocate role (assigned in Oracle's Hyperion Shared Services) and an
administrator has enabled Mass Allocate as the data form property, you can spread data using the
powerful feature, Mass Allocate, which:

You are designing a new Planning application. Which two requirements dictate multiple plan types
in a single Planning application?
A. Multiple currencies are required.
B. Currency rates must be kept in a separate database.
C. Sales are planned by product and channel, and salary expenses are planned by position.
D. Security is applied to the Entity dimension but can differ for users for accounts "sales" and
"expenses".
E. You have decided to implement the Capital Expense planning module in addition to
PSLbudgeting.
F. Data cannot be shared across the Organization dimension.
Answer: C,E
Explanation: C: When you define an entity member, you assign a plan type for which it is valid. If
you do not
assign a plan type to a member, that members children do not have access to that plan type. If
you move a member, and the new parent of that member is valid for different plan types, then
the member remains valid only for the plan types it has in common with the new parent.
Your organization may require that different entity members prepare different plans. For
example, in your organization all entity members may submit expense plans, but entity
members that are cost centers do not submit revenue plans. When you define entity members
you specify the plan types for which they are valid. Because data forms are associated with plan
types, this allows you to control which entity members can enter data for each plan type.
E: You would need two plan type. To add a Capital Expense plan type to an existing application
see Note below.
Note: To add the Capital Asset Planning plan type to a Planning application:
1 In Performance Management Architect, select Navigate, then Administer, then Application
Library.
2 In the Application Library, right-click the application to which you want to add the Capital Asset
Planning
plan type, select Initialize, then select Capital Asset or Workforce and Capital Asset if the
application will use both plan types.

F. Minimum one user-defined dimension
Answer: A,B,C,D,E
Explanation: The required dimensions for a Hyperion Planning Application.
Required Dimensions:
Period
Year
Scenario
Version
Entity
Account
Other Dimensions:
Alias
Smart Lists
Multicurrency applications require two additional dimensions:
Currency
HSP_Rates
Note:
Period and Year
You specify a time period and year for each value. Base time periods, such as months, are
41

automatically rolled up to summary time periods, such as quarters and total year. As
administrators, you specify base time periods and distribution of weeks in the Period dimension
when you create application views. You use the year dimension to add years to the calendar.
Scenario and Version
The Scenario and Version dimensions represent the broadest categories of data in your
application. Scenario describes the type of data that a plan includes, such as budget, actual, or
forecast, as well as the time span that the plan covers.
Version allows for flexibility and iterative planning cycles. For example, your application could have
two versions, Working and Final, for each scenario. You can also use versions to model possible
outcomes based on different assumptions about interest rates, growth rates, and so on. For
example, your application an have a Best Case and Worst Case version for each scenario.
Entity
The Entity dimension represents the flow of Planning information through your organization. You
can establish an entity for each group or responsibility center that submits a budget plan. These
units could be geographic regions, departments, or divisions, depending on your requirements.
Account
The Account dimension specifies the data to be collected from budget planners. You can establish
accounts for all budgeted items to the necessary level of detail. Examples of accounts are Rent
Expense and Cash on Hand.
Currency
You can plan in one or more currencies. The Currency dimension identifies the currency in which
values are displayed. In the Currency dimension, you set up the following categories:
* Which currencies are used by applications and reporting
* How currencies are displayed in reports and data forms
* How currencies are translated into other currencies
*When currency conversion occurs
HSP_Rates
This dimension contains a member to store exchange rate values for each currency. It also
contains a member for input values and currency overrides.
Alias and Smart Lists
In addition to the required Planning dimensions, you must set up an Alias dimension if you want to
assign aliases to dimensions such as Account or Entity. If you want to use Smart Lists in your
application, you must set up a Smart List dimension.
42

QUESTION NO: 59
Assuming you have a Period dimension with calendar months rolling to quarters to total years. If
you assign the property Time Balance Last to the "Headcount" account member, what will user
see for Q1?
A. January's value
B. March's value
C. The total of January+February +March
D. The average of January + February + March
Answer: B
Explanation: Set the time balance as last when you want the parent value to represent the value
of the last member in the branch (often at the end of a time period).
Note:
Essbase - Time balance properties
The tags :
first, last,
average,
and expense
are available exclusively for use with accounts dimension members.
Using this tag requires an accounts dimension and a time dimension
If an accounts dimension member uses the time balance property, it affects how Essbase
calculates the parent of that member in the time dimension. By default, a parent in the time
dimension is calculated based on the consolidation and formulas of its children. For example, in
the database in this scenarion, the Q1 member is the sum of its children (Jan, Feb, and Mar).
However, setting a time balance property causes parents, for example Q1, to roll up differently.
If you set the time balance as first, last, or average, set the skip property to tell Essbase what to do
when it encounters missing values or values of 0.
43

QUESTION NO: 60
Based on the following design:
Plan type 1: Summary Plan type with all Accounts by Entity
Plan type 2: Sales Plan type with Sales by Product by Entity
Plan type 3: Salary Plan type with Salary Expense by Employee by Entity
You need to get Sales data to the Summary plan type. Identify the two true statements about
sharing revenue data between the sales plan type and the summary plan type.
A. Planning will build in @XREF calculations in a calc script by default to share data between
plantypes.
B. A replicated partition could be created to replicate data from the sales plan type to the summary
plan type and this would be done if we wanted to store the sales data in the summary plan type.
C. A transparent partition and @XREF calculations could have performance issues for
retrievalsbecause data is not stored;it is dynamically calculated.
D. A calc export script on the source database with the DATAEXPORT command could be
usedtoexport data out of the revenue plan type and calc import script on the target database with
the DATAIMPORT command could be used to import the data file to the summary plan type.
E. To disable the building of @XREF, update the HSPProperties file for the application before
youclick Create during the application creation process.
Answer: B,C
Explanation: B: Replicated Partition:
A portion of a database, defined through Partition Manager, used to propagate an update to data
mastered at one site to a copy of data stored at another site. Users can access the data as though
it were part of their local database.
C:
Transparent partition:
A form of shared partition that provides the ability to access and manipulate remote data
transparently as though it is part of your local database. The remote data is retrieved from the data
source each time you request it. Any updates made to the data are written back to the data source
and become immediately accessible to both local data target users and transparent data source
users
Note:@XREF
Enables a database calculation to incorporate values from another Essbase database.
44

Thefollowing terminology is used to describe the @XREF function:
Data target: the database on which the current calculation is running (that is, the database on
which the @XREF call originates).
Data source: the database that is queried by the @XREF function. This database may be remote
(that is, on a different machine than the data target).
Point of view: the member combination currently being calculated on the data target (that is, the
member combination that identifies the left hand side of a calculation).
The @XREF function retrieves values from a data source to be used in a calculation on a data
target. @XREF does not impose member and dimension mapping restrictions, which means that
the data source and data target outlines can be different.
Note #2:
Hyperion planning's Plan Types treated as individual databases in underlying Essbase database
comes with inherent facility to share data and dimension members across plan types in Hyperion
Planning or equivalent databases in underlying Essbase. This reduces the need for additional
development/maintenance effort when compared to Planning systems based on Standalone
Essbase. The Hyperion Planning user would seldom realize that the dimension members belong
to multiple databases. While this might be an area of concern while using Standalone Essbase to
build planning system.
QUESTION NO: 61
You need to calculate benefit expense in your Planning application using the following logic:
Benefit expense is equal to the Total Salary of the Organization multiplied by a factor data loaded
to each cost center.
Given the following components, what is the correct order of calculation:
1-Custom calculation (Total Salary * Factor)
2-Aggregate benefits
3-Aggregate salaries
A. 1, 2, 3
B. 3, 2, 1
45

C. 2, 3, 1
D. 3, 1, 2
Answer: D
Explanation: First calculate the aggregated saleries.
Then make the custom calculation on the saleries.
Finally use the result of the custom calculation to product the benefits.
QUESTION NO: 62
Assuming EAS Business rules, a user cannot see a business rule on a data Form. What are three
possible causes?
A. The business rule has not been assigned to the data form.
B. The business rule was created for another plan type.
C. The valid locations have not been defined for the business rule.
D. The valid locations have not been defined for the data form.
E. The Validate and Launch privileges have not been granted for the business rule.
F. The Validate and Launch privileges have not been granted for the data form.
Answer: A,C,E
Explanation: A: Business Rules can be assigned to data forms.
C: You can manage database locations, and the access privileges of repository objects that are
assigned to them, using the Location Editor. You can use the Location Editor to create, edit, and
copy database locations, assign new access privileges to locations, copy access privileges from
one location to another, and copy business rules from one location to another.
E: When you validate a business rule, Business Rules determines whether the member or
members you select exist in the database and whether the syntax of the business rule is correct.
You need to have access privileges to all rules in the sequence before you can launch it.

QUESTION NO: 63
Product status is a data element you need to include in your Planning application. Each product
will have a product status that can vary over time. You will use product status in calculations and
will need to report sales by product status and across products in a cross tab format.
46

What is the best way to meet all of these requirements?
A. Define Product Status as a Smart List.
B. Define Product Status asa Separate Dimension.
C. Define Product Status as an Attribute.
D. Define Product Status as a Varying Attribute.
E. Define Product Status as an alternate hierarchy in the Product dimension.
Answer: C
Explanation: Attribute: Characteristic of a dimension member. For example, Employee dimension
members may have attributes of Name, Age, or Address. Product dimension members can have
several attributes, such as a size, Status, and flavor.

QUESTION NO: 64
A Business Rule is launched from a data form. What will Planning utilize to provide a valid list of
members for a run-time prompt?
A. Members defined on the data form
B. Planning Metadata security
C. Business Rules security access privileges
D. Essbase security filters
E. Business Rules Basic User Role
Answer: A
Explanation: When launched, a business rule can prompt you to enter variable information, called
a runtime
prompt. The business rule designer sets up runtime prompts.
If a business rule has a runtime prompt and Use Members on Forms is selected, the default
member on the runtime prompt window matches the current member in the page or POV
axes of the open data form.

In the Workforce Planning module, an employee is terminated. What two activities do you perform
in WFP, so that total salary numbers are correctly calculated?
A. Run a business rule to change the employee's status.
B. Change the employee's status on a data form using the Smart List drop down.
C. Change the employee's status on a data form using the free form text measure.
D. Change the employee status attribute association in the Employee dimension.
E. Delete the employee from Workforce Planning.
Answer: A,B
Explanation: You can change thestatus of the Employee through options from aDropdown/Smart
List on a data form by running a Business Rule.
Incorrect answer:
Deleting the employeeis a bad praxis. Itwould remove old salary entries.
You do not access the attributes directly on the Employee dimension.
Note: The Workforce Planning Module for Hyperion Planning provides a robust set of calculations
and pre-defined web-forms that allows organizations to track and budget down to the benefit-level
for each employee.
