In Oracle Planning 2024, Groovy Rules enhance business logic flexibility. Oracle supports two main types of Groovy Rules:

A. Rules that overwrite member formulas that combine operators and calculation functions, and perform calculations on members in Dimension Editor: Incorrect. Groovy Rules do not overwrite member formulas in the Dimension Editor; they operate at runtime and are defined in the Rules editor, not as static dimension overrides.

B. Rules that can dynamically generate calculation scripts at run time based on contexts such as runtime prompts, the POV, the current grid, and so on: Correct. Oracle supports Groovy Rules that generate dynamic calc scripts based on runtime contexts (e.g., POV, grid data, prompts), enabling adaptive calculations.

C. Pure Groovy rules that can perform data validations and cancel the operation if the data entered violates company policies: Correct. Pure Groovy Rules can validate data (e.g., checking ranges or policies) and cancel operations (e.g., via exceptions), a key feature for enforcing business rules.

D. Rules that dynamically calculate data and perform validation checks in tile charts and infolets: Incorrect. Groovy Rules operate on cubes and forms, not directly within tile charts or infolets, which are UI elements driven by underlying data, not rule execution points.

The Oracle documentation confirms B (dynamic script generation) and C (data validation) as supported Groovy Rule types, making them the correct answers.

When designing reports in Oracle Cloud EPM Planning using Report Designer, data sources and report objects (e.g., grids, charts) have specific capabilities. The two true statements about data sources in reports are:

A. Insert charts in the report header to provide a quick visual summary of data: Incorrect. Report Designer does not support inserting charts directly into the report header; charts are added as objects within the report body, linked to data sources.

B. Include a chart in your report without displaying the underlying data grid: Correct. You can create a chart object tied to a data source (e.g., a grid) and configure it to display only the chart, suppressing the grid for a cleaner visual presentation.

C. Control the way a report object is printed on the page relative to other report objects: Correct. Report Designer allows you to adjust the layout and positioning of report objects (e.g., grids, charts) relative to each other, controlling how they appear when printed or exported.

D. Insert a report object into the report if you are in Modify mode: Incorrect. While you modify reports in Report Designer, there’s no specific “Modify mode” restriction—objects can be inserted during initial design or edits, but this is not a data source-specific feature.

The Oracle documentation verifies that B and C reflect Report Designer’s flexibility with data sources and object management, making them the correct answers.

In Oracle Planning 2024, predefined roles in Cloud EPM determine user permissions. The requirement is for a role that allows a Planning user to create and administer Planning or Planning Modules and service components, as well as grant permissions to other users. Among the options:

A. System Administrator: Incorrect. This role exists in some Oracle systems but is not a Cloud EPM predefined role specific to Planning. It’s too broad and not aligned with EPM terminology.

B. Approvals Administrator: Incorrect. This role manages approval processes (e.g., workflows) but does not include creating/administering applications or granting permissions beyond approvals.

C. Identity Role Administrator: Incorrect. While this role manages identity and access (e.g., assigning roles), it does not allow creating or administering Planning applications or service components.

D. Service Administrator: Correct. The Service Administrator role in Cloud EPM allows users to create and manage Planning applications, configure modules and service components (e.g., forms, rules), and assign permissions to other users via access control.

The Service Administrator role is the highest-level predefined role in Oracle EPM Cloud for Planning, encompassing application management and user permission assignments, making it the correct choice.

In Oracle Planning 2024’s Projects module, revenue and expense calculations are driven by specific assumptions that influence project financials. The three types of assumptions that directly drive these calculations are Working days and hours, Standard rates, and Project rates:

A. Working days and hours: This assumption defines the available time for project execution (e.g., days per week, hours per day), directly impacting labor costs and revenue projections based on resource utilization.

C. Standard rates: These are predefined rates (e.g., hourly or daily rates for labor or equipment) applied across projects unless overridden, driving cost and revenue calculations consistently.

E. Project rates: These are project-specific rates that override standard rates when defined, allowing for tailored revenue and expense calculations based on unique project requirements.

B. Plan start year: This is incorrect because, while it sets the timeline for planning, it does not directly drive revenue or expense calculations—it’s a temporal parameter, not an assumption affecting financial data.

D. Program mappings: This is incorrect because program mappings relate to integrating data across programs, not driving revenue or expense calculations within Projects.

F. Discount rates: This is incorrect because discount rates are used for net present value (NPV) or financial analysis, not as a direct driver of revenue and expense assumptions in Projects.

The Oracle Projects module documentation highlights that Working days and hours, Standard rates, and Project rates are foundational assumptions that calculate costs (e.g., labor expenses) and revenues (e.g., billable amounts), making them the correct choices.

In Oracle Planning 2024, cell-level security restricts access to specific data intersections using anchor and nonanchor dimensions. The two true statements are:

A. Anchor dimensions are always required in the cube that is used in the cell-level security definition: Correct. Anchor dimensions (e.g., Entity, Scenario) are mandatory in the security definition to specify the primary scope of access control within the cube.

B. Anchor dimensions are never required in the cube that is used in the cell-level security definition: Incorrect. Anchor dimensions are always required, contradicting this statement.

C. By default, nonanchor dimensions are not required: Correct. Nonanchor dimensions (e.g., Account, Period) are optional by default in cell-level security definitions, allowing flexibility in granularity unless explicitly included.

D. By default, nonanchor dimensions are required. You can change this setting later: Incorrect. Nonanchor dimensions are not required by default, and there’s no setting to make them mandatory—it’s an optional inclusion.

The Oracle documentation specifies that A (anchor necessity) and C (nonanchor optional) align with cell-level security behavior, making them the correct answers.
