Synchronizing Supporting Detail with Essbase

Data source types: Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud

If you are unfamiliar with Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud, see the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud documentation and videos available on the Oracle Help Center.

In Oracle Hyperion Planning applications, when you delete supporting detail for a cell, you affect the associated value in the relational database. You specify how to handle the stored Oracle Essbase value. You can set it to #Missing or leave it as it was before the supporting detail was deleted. This feature is useful if you want to use supporting detail as a scratch pad or calculator.

To synchronize supporting detail with Essbase:

  1. Open a form.
  2. In the form, click the cell that has the supporting detail you want to remove.
  3. From the Planning or Planning Ad Hoc ribbon, select Supporting Detail.
  4. In the Supporting Detail window, delete the information, and then click OK.
  5. Select an option from the displayed message to specify how to handle the aggregate value of the deleted supporting detail stored in Essbase:
    • To delete the value from Essbase, click Yes, set the value(s) to #Missing.

    • To leave the data value in Essbase as is, click No, leave the value(s) as is.
