By now every knows that the release of Hyperion 11x has provided us with the latest and greatest Essbase modeling application, Essbase Studio. A lot of us are familiar with Essbase Integration Services and have been looking at Essbase Studio like a two-headed dog. They either are scared and don’t want to go near it or they are so used to their purse-dog, i.e: EIS, that they stick with what they know best and haven’t unwrapped Essbase Studio yet.
This blog post should put and end to any reluctancy. I introduce to you the first Essbase Studio tutorial on the web.
You can download the PDF here. (I’ll eventually move this to a CDN if the downloads get to big, so please link to this post and not the document itself.)
Hyperion Essbase Studio Tutorial by Example (PDF)
I am also breaking the tutorial into a series with this being part 1. There are a lot of cool new functions with Essbase Studio and you will immediately see the benefits it has over EIS. Soon, you’ll see other blog post here on Essbase Studio tutorials part 2, 3, etc. so be sure to check back often or subscribe to the RSS.
If this series is good, bad, or indifferent please let me know. I would like to keep these up and with your feedback I can revise and make the documents that much more informative everyone.
Cheers.

- This should have been posted to the live site last week. I am in the middle of switching hosting providers for my blog and uploaded this post to my test site instead of this one. Sorry for the delay.
Thanks Christian, I really like your site and I found the tutorial very useful. It didn't answer one of my questions however, how do you get the data source created in Studio to pick up any changes in your source database - surely this must be possible?
Can I build one single dimension from multiple sources in Studio?
Hello Christian,
Thanks for putting such a great resource. I also wanted to know about free demo products if any available to test it out. I heard that Oracle Hyperion provides free demo version to use at home or work to get to know the product, is this ture. if that is true could you please provide a link to the website where we can download the software…….I dont have EIS at work so , i was thinking if i could have the advantage of lerning through your documents.
i reall appriciate your help.
Nice writeup christian. We dont have EIS, infact I really wanted to learn this tool. Your document is really good if someone wants to learn. keep up with good work christian.
