- Recognize the methods of editing and debugging HFM Rules files
- Appraise the use of Input and NoInput sub processes in determining data cells where data can be input
- Identify the use of arrays in performing repetitive processing across multiple dimension members

- Differentiate the use of translation rules for translating data using different rates and translating FX differences over time
- Illustrate the use of HFM Rules in performing non-standard consolidations and intercompany eliminations
Course Description
Attendees will explore the methodological approach to designing, maintaining, and running complex rules using VBScript and Notepad++. Gain an overview of rules, statement routines, as well as objects, variables, attributes, loops and functions. Find out about rules for opening and closing balances, no input, testing for members and conditions, VB strings, as well as rules for validations, process control, translation and consolidation.
The course focuses on the design of rules for optimisation of database performance in HFM and also seeks to enable students to troubleshoot effectively by writing log data to text files. Administrators will learn to create advanced calculations to facilitate the translation and consolidation requirements for an organisation. If you’re managing an HFM system, but want a better understanding of existing scripts and the knowledge to write your own efficient calculations, this is the course.
