Using Direct Drill

Direct Drill enables you to drill through directly from any platform-based form to source data, which can be queried and launched using an external URL or and EPM Integration Agent query. Additionally, for standard mode data loads, you can define a custom drill region and continue to use the standard landing page. The custom drill region enables you to define custom drill regions using Oracle Essbase member functions instead of individual members.

Using Direct Drill, you can drill to source data without staging the data in Data Integration. It also provides the flexibility to simplify the drill bypassing the landing page. Additionally, you can customize the scope of the drill region using Essbase member functions, which simplifies maintenance and improves performance.
