Upgrading to Oracle Hyperion 11.X? Do it with Confidence. Do it with Accelatis.

You’re busy, so we’ll keep it short. There is one software solution that was created to help streamline the Oracle Hyperion Upgrade / Migration process – Accelatis Ascension Suite. In this discussion we will:

• Discuss how to identify which Reports, SmartView Forms, and WebForms to migrate

• Demonstrate how to perform User Simulations / Load Generation to anticipate performance before your users are impacted – by replaying your actual user activity from 9.X in your new 11.X environment

• Demonstrate how to compare server and application settings across your environments to avoid the need to chase down differences that can impact performance, and to ensure everything converted correctly

We look forward to seeing you.

What are Your Users Doing? Open the Black Box and Know.

You’re busy, so we’ll keep it short. Understanding your user’s behavior patterns is a key ingredient to managing your Oracle Hyperion Performance. In this discussion we will:

• Discuss how user behavior can impact your performance
• Demonstrate how Accelatis Ascension Suite brings visibility into User Activity
• Demonstrate how you can correlate User Activity with other metrics to understand and improve your system behavior

We look forward to seeing you.

Remote Performance Monitoring

You’re busy, so we’ll keep it short. Your remote users deserve high performance from Hyperion. Without the right tools, measuring performance and identifying causes of issues for your remote users can be a headache. In this webinar, we’ll discuss:

- Complexities of monitoring remote users
- Isolating the sources of problems – correlating application, system, network and user activity
- Catching Issues before they occur by proactively monitoring
- Software Demo – Accelatis Ascension Suite Remote Performance Clients – visibility into your global user performance experiencesWe look forward to seeing you.

Making Oracle Hyperion EPM Run Smoothly

The APM Proficiency Model

Application Performance Management for Oracle Hyperion is a black art to most. Mastering this art is the key to:- Better system performance

- Less guesswork when troubleshooting issues
- Providing first class user experiences
- Reducing risk during critical, high use periods
- Collaborate between departments effectively
- Making Essbase, HFM, Planning, and all of the associated products operate smoothly and rapidly

By mapping your current monitoring and management techniques to the APM Proficiency Model you can identify opportunities to make improvements in your environment.Accelatis Ascension Suite empowers our clients to rapidly move from the bottom of the model to the very top in just a few weeks, delivering the fastest, most powerful alternative to get the most out of their Oracle Hyperion EPM investment.

In this webinar we’ll describe the 5 levels and how you can leverage Ascension Suite to work from the level you choose to operate from.

Top Notch Hyperion EPM Performance

Load Testing & User Simulation

Load testing isn’t just for new installations. Although it is a critical function to determine initial hardware needs and system capacity it also establishes response time baselines. Continuous testing and simulation are the key to catching and stopping problems before users complain. Load testing against Hyperion requires detailed knowledge of the product suite to effectively design and analyze load tests as well as expert knowledge of the load testing process.

This session will cover the primary aspects of meaningful load testing and user simulation, including:

• Essbase, Planning, HFM, and all associated products
• 4 phases – Design, Validation, Execution and Analysis
• Single and Multi-User Performance, Concurrency and Longevity
• Use Cases, Ramp-Up Profile, Think Times and User Mix
• Test Execution – monitoring, test-refinement
• Analysis – identifying bottlenecks and remediation

Making HFM Faster

HFM Rules Profiling

If your HFM rules are not configured properly, you’ll pay for it with unnecessarily slow HFM Performance, including frustratingly slow consolidation times.In this webinar you’ll learn how to analyze your rules with 2 highly effective techniques: Instrumentation and Profiling.This is an advanced discussion. To get the most out of this presentation, you’ll need to have a prior understanding of HFM Rules syntax. Specifics that we’ll cover:

• Adding Function Timers to understand where time is being spent at the function level
• Adding Block Timers to capture total time spent in a specific section of code
• Adding Line Iteration Counters to capture how many times a line of code is executed
• Leveraging the POV context to distinguish if time is spent disproportionally for particular Entities
• Comparing Subcube data populations before and after Rules are executed to see what effect they have
• Analyzing the resultsWe’ll wrap up by briefly introducing Accelatis Ascension Suite’s automated process for optimizing HFM Rules.

Comprehensive Approach to Oracle EPM Performance Monitoring

Performance is a black art to many in monitoring the Oracle EPM environment. The health of a Hyperion deployment is dependent on many factors including Component and Network Connectivity, User Activity, System Metrics, User Performance, Application Data and Configuration. Any single aspect can cause poor performance and downtime. Usually performance issues are resolved by rebooting a server and hoping the problem doesn’t return until after the financial close cycle is complete. Having insight into all of these aspects is critical to forming an understanding the underlying issue. Accelatis offers a technical and business view. See how to leverage standard and custom metrics to gain insight into system performance and take a scientific approach to identify opportunities for performance improvement.

Why is My Hyperion Application Sick?

Streamlining the HealthCheck process for your HFM Application.

Has your Hyperion Application environment slowed over the years or become unstable? Is your new environment acting up? Then this Webinar is for you.MindStream Analytics in partnership with Accelatis will review a recent case study of an application “Healthcheck” review using Accelatis Ascension Suite Hyperion performance monitoring and diagnostic software. We will show you how to streamline the ability to diagnose root causes of Hyperion performance issues caused by network and application issues. Root causes of application instability, slow processing times and inconsistent performance are not always easy to discover using application and system log files. Our case study will underscore why identifying which elements can be ruled out is a critical step in the diagnosing of performance and stability issues.
