Notes

· Machine Profiles are not used in this adapter.

· All dimension lookups pull from the DimDimension tables. These tables must be manually populated in order for the Member Browse functionality to operate correctly. If these tables are not populated then the UseList option should be turned off for each dimension being used.

· Validation reports are functional but reports must consist of FDM lookup values, rather than target system lookup values.

· EnableLoad option must be enabled for archiving and validation reporting.

· Additional languages have been added. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Certification Matrix (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/hyperion-supported-platforms.html) for information about localization for this adapter.
