18
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.

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.

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

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

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

QUESTION NO: 54
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.

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.
