Oracle EPM and Big Pipeline Changes !

Oracle has made some exciting changes in the Feb 2025 update for the pipeline functionality.  

- For those of us with large pipelines that become very small and difficult to manage in the graphical interface, we finally have a table view below:

Applies to: Account Reconciliation, Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, FreeForm, Planning, Profitability and Cost Management, Tax Reporting

- Another change is the removal of the auto-save functionality.  This is a massive update for those of us who really hate autosave.  

- It should be noted that you now have to click Save when you actually want your changes to be saved.  

- Another nice new feature with the addition of the runPipeline command for EPM Automate.  Anyone running a hybrid setup with pipelines baked into on-premise orchestration will love this, as the only method available to do this previously required the REST API.

Oracle EPM and ability to Drill into an Ad Hoc Grid from a Dashboard 2.0 Chart

Ability to Drill into an Ad Hoc Grid from a Dashboard 2.0 Chart​

- You can now create an ad hoc grid directly from a chart within Dashboard 2.0.​

- You can create an ad hoc grid by right-clicking a chart element; for example, right-clicking on a bar within a Bar chart, and then clicking Analyze to open ad hoc in a dynamic tab. The Analyze option opens ad hoc for the intersection represented by the chart element.​

- To drill into an ad hoc grid from a chart in a Dashboard 2.0 dashboard:​

1. Open a dashboard in Dashboard 2.0.​

2. Right-click a chart element, and then select Analyze to view the chart intersection in ad hoc.​

Note the following:​

- Analyze only works for chart elements built on a form.​

- Analyze is supported for all Dashboard 2.0 chart types except for Geomaps.​

- For charts built on a form with a formula row or column, clicking Analyze will not perform any action after right-clicking the chart element that corresponds to the formula row/column (like a bar in a Bar chart).​

- Analyze is not supported for Quick Analysis charts.
