Groovy Scripting for Oracle Enterprise Planning Cloud (EPBCS) Training Course
Duration
3 days (21 CPE credits)
Audience
Implementation consultants, developers, system administrators
Course Summary
By the end of this course you will be able to enhance the potential of Oracle's Enterprise Planning Cloud (EPBCS) applications through the use of intelligent and dynamic Groovy Rules. This can be achieved by making use of a Groovy Rule’s ability to generate code dynamically at runtime, enabling more targeted and faster executing calculations.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this course learners will be able to:
- Recognize the fundamental concepts relating to the Groovy scripting language
- Identify the ways in which Groovy rules can be created, maintained and utilized in the application
- Explain how pure Groovy rules can be used to interact with interface elements, such as data grids and run-time prompts
- Describe how Groovy rules can be used to generate Essbase calculation scripts dynamically, allowing for more flexibility in standard calculations
- Ascertain how to look up information and troubleshoot by exploring the Java API reference for Groovy Rules
- Recall how connections can be made to external resources, including the application’s REST APIs, facilitating broader processes in Groovy rules
Course Description
Groovy is an object-oriented programming language for the Java platform that can be used with Oracle's Enterprise Planning Cloud subscriptions. Groovy Rules are created in Calculation Manager and are deployed, validated, and run within planning and budgeting applications, like standard business rules, however they provide a wealth of potential improvements over traditional rules. This three-day course focuses on the design of sophisticated Groovy Rules to address scenarios that normal business rules can't solve.
Groovy Rules focus calculations more specifically than traditional business rules, meaning that it is possible to calculate only what is absolutely required. This in turn leads to faster calculation and aggregation times and quicker availability of data in ASO reporting cubes. Groovy Rules can also interact with the data in a webform, providing a host of dynamic improvements to the user interface. This can be used to provide real-time feedback to users, allowing for sophisticated and highly visible data validation.
In this course, we’ll explore the fundamentals of Groovy scripting for the Oracle Cloud, from an introduction to syntax and setting up a development environment through to writing complex scripts that enhance and improve an application. We’ll investigate the Groovy Rules Java APIs and explore working with data and metadata to perform validations. We’ll also find out how to dynamically generate focused calc scripts at runtime, based on execution context. Additionally, attendees will be given the opportunity to explore how Groovy can be used to interact with the available REST APIs.
