Enhanced Data Validation During Data Load in Data Management

If data cells are rejected when you load data using Data Management, the reasons for rejection are presented in a data validation report. The Validation Error report is available for download from the Process Details page by clicking the Output link. In addition, a copy of the error file is stored in the Outbox.

New Calculation Manager Planning Expressions

In Calculation Manager, two new functions, getSubVarValue (plan type name, substitution variable name) and getSubVarValue (substitution variable name), allow you to use substitution variables in Planning Formula Expressions.

Restart REST API Enhancements for Auto Tune

The Restart Service REST API has been enhanced to accept an optional AutoTune parameter. This benefits you by auto-tuning the environment before restarting it to ensure that Essbase caches are optimized for your application.

Validate Data When Loading Data as Service Administrator

In this update, you have the option to enable data validation when Service Administrators load data. All data validations enforced in data entry form will be enforced while loading data. Due to the enhanced validations the performance of data load will be slower. In prior releases data validations were enforced only for users who were not Service Administrators.
