Oracle Application Testing Suite 12 Essentials — Question 1

You are designing a monthly projection Planning application. A starting point projection file is received with the current month data. Data forms, Business Rules, and Essbase data load rules, and reports should always focus on the current projection month.
What is most efficient way to design the components to reduce maintenance each month?

Answer options

• A. Manually update the forms each month and use a "CurMth" substitution variable for Business Rules, Essbase data load rules, and reports.
• B. Manually update the forms each month; Use "CurMo" Global variable for Business Rules and use a "CurMth" substitution variable for Essbase data load rules, and reports.
• C. Use the Planning data form utility to update data forms and use a "CurMth" substitution variable for Business Rules, Essbase data load rules, and reports.
• D. Use a "CurMth" substitution variable for data forms, Business Rules, Essbase data load rules, and reports.
• E. Use the Planning data form utility to update data forms; Use "CurMo" Global variable for Business Rules and use a "CurMth" substitution variable for Essbase

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because it leverages the Planning data form utility to automate updates, reducing the need for manual adjustments each month. By using a 'CurMo' Global variable for Business Rules and a 'CurMth' substitution variable for Essbase, it ensures that both components are synchronized with minimal effort. The other options involve more manual updates, which increases maintenance workload.
