Read Edward Roske and Tracy McMullen’s “Look Smarter than you are with Essbase System 9″ over the weekend. It’s really the best “technical” book I’ve read over past couple of years. Written in simple and not annoying language, with a lot of humor (I couldn’t hold myself when I’ve read the fight club joke) — [...]
I’ve been a long-term fan of oracle model by clause, talking about here and there, doing some small&funny examples (like eight queens solution in one select) but lacked some real-life necessity to use it.

Started unwrapping this mid-summer present today. It took me quite a time to get to Hyperion Planning LogOn screen, I must admit. This is no Analyst out-of-box experience, this is serious software with lots of ports&services stuff ) And AIX 64 capable ))
