(25B) Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM: Foundations of OTBI — Lesson 2: Analyses, Filters, Selection Steps, and Calculations

Technical Scope

• analysis editor and columns
• filters, prompts, and selection steps
• bins, CASE expressions, formulas, and measures
• sorting, totals, subtotals, and reconciliation

Instructor Demonstration

Demonstrate analysis editor and columns inside four HR questions that require correct subject-area grain and security before visualization, then capture the exact configuration, command, transaction, report, or code evidence that proves the result.

Applied Workshop

Implement a controlled workshop covering filters, prompts, and selection steps and bins, CASE expressions, formulas, and measures, then test a failure or exception involving sorting, totals, subtotals, and reconciliation.

1. Confirm environment, identity, data, dependencies, and expected result.
2. Complete the product-specific implementation or analysis.
3. Capture commands, configuration, output, logs, transactions, or reports.
4. Explain the operational, security, performance, or business trade-off.

Validation Standard

The Analyses, Filters, Selection Steps, and Calculations result must be reproducible, traceable to approved inputs, and consistent with the expected Oracle product behavior.

• The intended target and ownership are verified.
• The result is supported by reproducible evidence.
• Security, performance, reliability, and support impact are reviewed.
• Unexpected behavior is investigated before acceptance.

Failure Analysis

Diagnose issues in analysis editor and columns, filters, prompts, and selection steps, bins, CASE expressions, formulas, and measures, or sorting, totals, subtotals, and reconciliation without making an unverified production change.

Learners isolate the smallest proven cause, apply a reversible correction, rerun validation, and record the preventive action.
