Planning Workforce Module Automatically Determines the FixParallel Dimension

The Planning Workforce Module now automatically determines the FixParallel dimension. Previously, the default FixParallel dimension was set to Entity.

Additionally, Strategic Workforce Planning now supports incremental data loads with a new rule, OWP_Incremental Process Data With Strategic Workforce. If you have created Data Integration data load rules, you can associate OWP_Incremental Process Data With Strategic Workforce with your data load rules to improve the processing time.

Business Benefit: Because using the correct FixParallel dimension improves performance, having Workforce select it automatically, without requiring user intervention, ensures optimal performance. Additionally, the FixParallel dimension is now selected at runtime, so it is optimized for the data set being calculated.

Tips And Considerations

  • Hybrid Essbase must be enabled.
  • You will see the most performance improvements in large applications.
  • If you are enabling Workforce for the first time, no additional steps are needed to take advantage of this enhancement.
  • Existing customers, see Updating Workforce for steps to take advantage of this enhancement.
