Getting Started With Functional Configuration

A BI Application Offering and one or more Functional Areas are selected during the creation of an Implementation Project. A list of Functional Setup tasks is generated based on the selected Oracle BI Applications Offering and Functional Area(s).

There are four main types of Functional Task:

  • Tasks to configure Data Load Parameters — Clicking on the Go To Task button for these tasks launches Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager (Configuration Manager) and the Manage Data Load Parameter setup user interface is displayed with the appropriate set of Data Load Parameters required to perform a task.

  • Tasks to manage Domains and Mappings — Clicking on the Go To Task button for these tasks launches Configuration Manager and the Manage Domains and Mappings setup user interface is displayed with the appropriate set of Domain Mappings.

  • Tasks to configure Reporting Parameters — Clicking on the Go To Task button for these tasks launches Configuration Manager and the Manage Reporting Parameter setup user interface is displayed with the appropriate set of Reporting Parameters required to perform a task.

  • Tasks that are informational - These tasks provide either:

    • conceptual, background or supporting information.

    • instructions for configuration that is performed in tools external to FSM (for example, in ODI, or Oracle BI Administration Tool).
