Editing a Fixed Loop Component (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only)

You can edit the value you assign to a fixed loop component and the variable you select for it. If you are creating a fixed loop for a business rule, you can also edit the caption. If you are creating a fixed loop for a Financial Management business rule, you can edit whether the time taken to process the fixed loop is recorded in the log file. If you are creating a fixed loop for a Planning or Essbase business rule, you can edit the break variable. A break variable specifies when to exit the fixed loop.

  To edit a fixed loop component:

  1. In the System View, expand the Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase application type, the application, the calculation type (for Financial Management), the plan type (for Planning), or the database (for Essbase), and Rules or Templates, depending on whether the component is part of a business rule or template.

  2. Open the rule or template that contains the fixed loop component you want to edit.

  3. In the Rule Designer or Template Designer, select the fixed loop in the flow chart to edit its properties in Fixed Loop. You can edit any of these properties. See Creating a Fixed Loop Component (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only).
