Understanding PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine Chapter 2

Note. You can also embed analytic instance loading functionality into PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture

pages with analytic grids.

Development Process Using Existing Record Structures

If you have existing record structures on which the analytic model should be based, perform this iterative

process:

• Create a new analytic model.

At the appropriate step in this process, create the analytic model’s cube collections to retrieve data from

the records.

See C

hapter 7 , “Creating Cube Collections,” page 53.

• Create an analytic type definition.

• Attach the analytic type to the analytic model.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Optimization Framework, “Designing Analytic

Type Definitions,” Creating Analytic Type Definitions and C

hapter 4, “Creating Analytic Model

Definitions,” page 27.

• Crea te PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture pages with analytic grids.

Note. Within t

he application, a PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture page with an analytic grid may

be referred to

as an interactive report.

See Chapter 13, “Creating Analytic Grids,” page 211.

• As needed, create pages and any required PeopleCode to administer analytic instances.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Application Designer, “Creating Page Definitions”

and Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleCode API Reference, “Analytic Type Classes”.

• As needed, write PeopleCode programs using the appropriate classes (Analytic Calculation Engine, Analytic

Calculation Engine Metadata, AnalyticGrid, AnalyticType) to manipulate the analytic model, its data,

and its display as necessary for the application.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleCode API Reference, “Analytic Type Classes”.

• As needed, write Application Engine programs for batch calculations.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Application Engine, “Creating Application

Engine Programs”.

• As needed, write application pages that enable end users to load analytic instances.

Note. Yo u can also embed this functionality into PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture pages with analytic

grids.

PeopleSoft A nalytic Calculation Engine Security

PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine does not provide additional data security features beyond what is

already available in PeopleTools. You define analytic model data security within the application that uses the

analytic model by creating a view for each read/write cube collection . Additionally, you can:
