1. #Kscope APIs Getting Added Value From HFM, Workspace, FDM, Smartview, and Shared Services Charles Beyer Troubleshooting steps for diagnosing HFM, Workspace, and FDM

2. #Kscope About the Speaker 15+ years professional development experience in various languages/technologies (6 years w/ Hyperion products) Independently released commercial software products Loves to help others solve problems Posts under beyerch2 on OTN Discussion Boards 3. #Kscope Before we Begin.. Code Samples for all examples are at end of powerpoint (Download latest version!) To expedite session, we will use both screen caps and live demos All-in-one Virtual Machine created for session, available upon request* If we hit time limit, there is enough shared information that most should be able to perform remainder of samples 4. #Kscope Session Goals Gain High Level Exposure to Select EPM API Libraries Recognize Added Value of APIs DO NOT FEAR APIs, They Are Your Friend! 5. #Kscope Development Challenges Out Of The Box (OOTB) product functionality is rarely a perfect fit Custom Workflow Requirements from Client Missing/Incomplete Product Functionality Limited Development Resources Tight Deadlines Limited Budgets for Custom Development Steep Learning Curves Difficult to Master Continually Evolving Software Introduces Software Defects 6. #Kscope APIs to the Rescue! Enables Extensibility of Product Alleviates Development Pressures Lessens Development Time and Cost Simplifies Learning Curve Minimizes Defects Future Proofs Your Work Grows Hair Back* Solves Economy Problems Extends Lifespan (yours)* *Not evaluated by FDA 7. #Kscope What exactly is an API? What Set of standard function calls / procedures with well defined inputs and outputs that abstract complex logic from developers (i.e. Black Box) 8. #Kscope What APIs are available? Virtually all EPM products have an API available, though we will focus on: HFM FDM Smart View Workspace Shared Services 9. #Kscope HFM API 10. #Kscope API Overview - HFM Two Major API Libraries Web Object Model Web Server Components used by ASP web pages COM Components Primarily Used to talk to Application Server Tier. Typically interfaced in VB6, .NET application, though any language that supports COM can make use. Offer similar functionality with few exceptions such as Consolidations (COM), Document Library (Web) 11. #Kscope API Overview HFM (cont.)
