PBCS System Reporting

This post is kinda For Your Information really, it is highly unlikely that it's going to add value to any of you, but it will surely bring back some nice, or not so nice, memories for you who had experienced System 9. Before I go to PBCS, I want to go back in time to Hyperion System 9 😁


Remember this login page?

What about the logo, does it ring a bell? That was the first logo after Oracle's acquisition of Hyperion Solutions, let's move on for now and we'll get back to it in a bit, before I come back to the present, do you remember how we used to generate Planning system reports in System 9?

In Advanced Mode view, Administration then Reporting, and the following is a sample of the generated reports.

The report itself is kinda useful, nice to have for those who don't like to write SQL, now did you notice the logo? okay...

Back to the future/present to PBCS and let us generate a similar report. For those who still have the standard interface, you can go to Tools -> Reports (same as on-premise Planning), and for those with Simplified Interface go to Monitor and Explore -> System Reports as shown below:

Select an object, create the report, and here is a PBCS sample...

Notice any difference from the System 9 one? Nada, not even the logo 😁


Hopefully in the not very distant future Oracle will update that logo, or maybe not, who cares really?
