URI to User Productivity Kit

Note:

UPK is available in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Workspace, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.2.1 for products that support it. For example, Planning, and Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Fusion Edition.

The Oracle User Productivity Kit (UPK) includes a library designed to support users in live environments. When integrated with help systems, UPK delivers context-sensitive training simulations that reflect the way users complete tasks. To implement UPK:

  1. Select Navigate, then Administer, and then Workspace Server Settings.

  2. Enter the following URL in the URI to User Productivity Kit field: http://<any_domain/full_content_path_to_upk_content/>

    This is the location where the customer has the UPK located. For the products accessed in EPM Workspace, {gateway-page} in the URL http://any_domain/full_content_path_to_upk_content/{gateway-page} is where Hyperion content is located. Do not enter {gateway-page} in URI to User Productivity Kit field. EPM Workspace automatically appends the correct value: http://any_domain/full_content_path_to_upk_content/{gateway-page}. An example of a URL to enter is http://localhost/upkcontent/

  3. Select OK.

  4. Log out of EPM Workspace.

  5. Log in to EPM Workspace and UPK is now enabled.

From the Help menu, the Oracle User Productivity Kit is listed. For online help, in the toolbar, there is a UPK button as well.

Post Logoff URLURL to which the UI is redirected after users log off. Use with single sign-on environments such as WebSEAL and SiteMinder.
Enable Installer Menu Items in WorkspaceWhether to enable installer menu items in EPM Workspace. These items are located in Tools menu. See Removing Access to Client Installers. Default value is Yes.
Allow direct logon after SSO failureDefault value is No. Select Yes to allow a user to logon directly if Single Sign-On (SSO) is enabled and SSO authentication fails.
Enabled ProductsDisable products which are installed but not running. A dialog box is displayed with products that can be deselected. If the checks are cleared, the products are de-integrated at the next logon, as if they were never installed.
