1z0-533 Oracle Hyperion Planning 11 Essentials Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

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 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 Data—Use 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.

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.

A:

To create and change attributes, attribute values, and aliases:

1 Select Administration, then Dimensions.

2 Select a sparse dimension for which to define an attribute, attribute value, or alias.

Only sparse dimensions can contain attributes.

3 Select the top level in the dimension hierarchy, and click Edit.

4 In the Dimension Properties dialog box, click Custom Attributes.

5 Select options.

5.1 To create attributes, click Create. Type an attribute name, and select a data type: Text,

Date, Boolean, or Numeric.

5.2 To modify attributes, click Modify, and update the attribute name.

5.3 To set aliases for attributes, select an attribute and an attribute value, click Alias. Select an

alias table, type an alias name, and click Close.

6 Click Close.

When you click Close, the hierarchy is validated and an error displays if issues are detected.

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 base dimension for that attribute dimension. I

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 user-defined 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.

Custom menus can be used to launch the following:

– Business Rules

– Context sensitive data forms

– URL

– Context sensitive Process Management

B: Oracle Hyperion Essbase Administration Services (Essbase Administration Services) software is a robust, cross-platform graphical user interface that makes Essbase administration tasks easy to perform.

Administrators can simultaneously view and edit properties for multiple Hyperion Essbase databases, applications, users, scripts, and other objects from a single intuitive view.

Essbase Administration Services also provides wizards, editors, dynamic menus, and other tools to help you implement, monitor, and maintain analytic and enterprise performance management applications.

C: Enterprise Performance Management Architect (EPMA) enables administrators to manage, create, and deploy Hyperion applications within one interface. EPMA can do adds, moves, modify properties, etc.

D: Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management (DRM) is an enterprise change management solution for building and retaining consistency within master data assets despite endless changes necessary to support underlying transactional and analytical systems.

B: members of the dimension entity must be first delete in data forms and then in the library dimension

D: Make a backup to retain the information.

E: A refresh of the database is required.

C: Access cannot be assigned directly to a shared member. You assign access rights to shared members in one of two ways:

* From the security assigned directly to the base member

* From the security assigned at the parent or ancestor of the shared member

D: You can create multiple shared members for the base member. A base member must exist before you can create a shared member, but there is no limit to the number of shared members you can create for the base member.

E: Shared members are available for Entity, Account, and user-defined custom dimensions.

" Shared members contain read-only values and are only available in the Entity dimension. "

In addition to other capabilities, the Report Designer provides cascaded output of

reports in Excel. This will enable end users to create a report in Excel and cascade

it to separate sheets based on members of a dimension not included as part of the

report.

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

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.

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 security has changed.

Planning data forms can be accessed from within the EPM Workspace and from Smart View Planning Provider.

Note: Smart View provides a common Microsoft Office interface for Oracle Essbase, Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Fusion Edition, Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition, Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Workspace, Fusion Edition, Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, and Oracle's Hyperion® Enterprise® data. Using Smart View, you can view, import, manipulate, distribute and share data in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint interfaces.

All users can set personal preferences in the current application.

To set personal preferences:

1 Select File, then Preferences.

2 Click Planning, then perform an action:

* Select Application Settings to set e-mail options, select an alias table, and set options for

member selection and workflow.

* Select Display Options to set options for number formatting, page selection, warnings for

large data forms, and the number of dimensions to show on a page.

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.

The number of stored members in sparse Dimensions will help us in finding potential number of blocks

Potential Number of Blocks = Stored Members in Market * Stored Products in Scenario.

A: Open the Dimension Library and select File >

New > Dimension. Enter a name and description, then select the Alias type.

C: From planning 9 3 1 you can also create attribute hierarchy in planning.

E: Attribute dimensions have a type setting—text, numeric, Boolean, or date. Text is the default

setting.

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.

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 Data—Use 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 Data—Use 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 Blocks—Use to specify a data slice to ensure that blocks are created for all sparse

member combinations in that slice.
