NO.3 Which two client requirements align with using an ASO plan type alongside the Enterprise
Planning and Budgeting Cloud (EPBCS) plan types? (Choose two.)
A. Due to sparse dimensionality, Aggregation times are slow in EPBCS.
B. The client would like to plan revenue by Product and Services dimensions.
C. The client would like to report the results of the allocation process by Entity.
D. The client would like to store 10 years of actual history for reporting purposes but only requires
prior year history for planning purposes.
E. The client has 10 dimensions in the EPBCS application and needs to report at each intersection.
Answer: A,E
Explanation:
The advantage of creating these Aggregate Storage Option (ASO) cubes is obviously for reporting
capabilities. With any application that utilizes a large dimension set with several sparse members,
ASO cubes make reporting on data much faster.

dimension
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation:
A: You can drill through to the detail from the EPM target application and view data in the Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) source system. Predefined by administrators, drill- through reports are
available to users from specified individual member cells and data cells. A cell can be associated with
multiple drill-through reports. Cells that contain drill- through reports can be indicated on the grid by
a cell style.
B: Data loads and write-back are supported for those users who do not have a direct connection to
their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) source data, but have data available from their source in a
text file. Any file, whether it is a fixed width file or a delimited file, can be easily imported into an
Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud application.

NO.75 Which three are Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud (EPBCS) features that can be used
to help streamline the amount of time a user spends in a web form? (Choose three.)
A. Valid intersections
B. Hide dimension name
C. Action menus
D. User variables
E. Workflow
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
C: Administrators can create right-click (or action) menus and associate them with forms, enabling
users to click rows or columns in forms and select menu items.
D: You can define user variables to help planners focus on particular members, such as their
department's expenses. For example, you can create a form with entities on the rows, and a user
variable called Department. You can limit the number of rows displayed on the form by selecting a
member for the Department user variable, such as Sales. Later, you can select another value for
Department, such as Marketing.
A: Valid intersections let administrators define rules, called valid intersection rules, that filter
dimensional intersections for planners when they enter data or select runtime prompts. For example,
you can specify that certain programs are valid only for specific departments.
Leverage valid intersections to control data entry only to valid intersections.
For form design, if the dimensions that are set in the valid intersection are found on the Page, the
user will be presented only with valid combinations in the member selector. If the dimensions that
27
IT Certification Guaranteed, The Easy Way!
are set with valid intersections are found on the column or row, the form designer can suppress
invalid intersections completely. When the suppression option isn't selected, invalid intersections are
set to read only.
