Managing Crystal Ball Files in the Central Repository

From within Smart View, you can connect to the Crystal Ball folder in the central repository. Once there, you can add, open, and delete Crystal Ball files.

  To use Crystal Ball EPM files within Smart View:

  1. Connect to Simulation & Forecasting Workbooks following the instructions in the Smart View user documentation.

    If necessary, obtain the correct Crystal Ball URL and Folder settings from the Enterprise Performance Management System administrator.

  2. When you are properly connected to he Crystal Ball data source, the Crystal Ball data folder opens.

    With appropriate rights, you can add and delete files within that folder.

  3. To ensure that you are viewing the current contents of the folder, refresh the file list.

After you connect to the Crystal Ball data source, you can follow the instructions in the Oracle's Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework user documentation to add, open, modify, and delete files created with Crystal Ball EPM within Smart View and Microsoft Excel.

Note:

You must save new or modified files locally to your hard drive or a network space before saving them to the repository.
