Featured Tutorial: Data-Driven Rules in HFM

Written by David Kebo | November 16, 2012

 

Data-driven rules are rules that generate focused transactions in response to specific data in Oracle HFM. Data-driven rules can be faster, safer, and easier to write than more standard approaches. As data volumes rise with the introduction of 64-bit HFM, the technique should be an essential part of every HFM developer's toolkit.

This presentation covers the benefits and pitfalls of data-driven rules and how to identify where they should be used.
