Predict User Experience and Outages
The dynamic nature of your Oracle Hyperion EPM environment means the superior performance that you might enjoy today could quickly become a thing of the past. Continuous changes that impact your stability include:
- Applying software patches – anywhere throughout your environment
- Changes in your data populations
- User Behaviors
- Infrastructure modifications
- Network traffic
These changes all create a shift to the balance of your environment that can impact performance. Having confidence in how user and system response will adapt is critical. Ascension Suite helps you intelligently adapt to the changes inherent in a global EPM system and address potential issues before they become problems.

Successes
Success Summary – User Base Expansion
An EPM client was rolling out Reports to an extended group of users but not adding any additional hardware. By using simulations in Accelatis to track performance across key reports they were able to accurately predict the impact of the new users at peak usage and continue the rollout with confidence that their rollout would be successful.
Success Summary – Major Account Structure Growth
An EPM client was about to acquire a new division and grow their account structure by 40%. They had concerns about data volume in HFM and whether the increased accounts would cause performance issues. The Accelatis HFM Subcube analyzer was able to detail the current data populations and provide the client confidence that the acquisition would not cause performance issues due to data explosion.
Success Summary – Report Server Outages
An EPM client was experiencing frequent outages on the Reports servers. Alerts were added when Financial Reports did not complete. The administrator is now able to proactively avert an outage by contacting the affected user(s) in question before they continue to re-run the same report causing the server to hang.
