1Z0-1080-24

The Oracle 1Z0-1080-24 exam, "Oracle Planning and Collaboration Cloud 2023 Implementation Essentials," focuses on demonstrating your ability to implement and manage Oracle Planning and Collaboration Cloud (PBCS and FCCS). The main points covered include:

• Planning: This is a significant portion of the exam. You'll need to understand how to:

  • Provision and Configure: Setting up a new environment, including security and data management.
  • Data Management: Importing and exporting data, working with data load rules, and understanding different data formats.
  • Application Design and Build: Creating and managing dimensions, accounts, and other application components. This includes designing effective hierarchies and understanding different dimension types.
  • Reporting and Analysis: Creating reports and analyses using different methods available within the application. Understanding report formatting and data visualization is key.
  • Financial Consolidation and Close: Understanding the processes involved in closing periods and consolidating data from different entities.

• Collaboration: This aspect covers the collaborative features within the application. You should be familiar with:

  • Workflows: Setting up and managing approval workflows for different tasks.
  • Team Collaboration Features: Understanding how users can collaborate within the application, including commenting and sharing information.
  • Notifications and Alerts: Configuring notifications and alerts to keep users informed of important events.

• Security: Security is crucial in any cloud application. The exam covers:

  • Access Control: Managing user access and permissions within the application.
  • Data Security: Understanding and implementing data security best practices.

• Integration: While not the core focus, you should understand how PBCS/FCCS integrates with other Oracle Cloud services and potentially on-premise systems.

• Troubleshooting and Maintenance: The ability to identify and resolve common issues within the application is tested. Understanding best practices for maintenance and performance tuning is also important.

In short: The exam validates your ability to design, implement, and administer a complete Oracle Planning and Collaboration Cloud implementation. It emphasizes practical skills and real-world scenarios more than theoretical knowledge. The study materials should focus heavily on hands-on experience with the application. Focus on practice scenarios and labs to solidify your understanding.
