In This Section:
Business rules in Essbase aggregate storage applications (including those used in Oracle General Ledger) are composed of different components than business rules in Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase block storage applications. These are the components you use to design business rules in Essbase aggregate storage applications:
Point of View components contain lists of metadata members (for example, lists of accounts).
Note: | You can nest a Point of View component within another Point of View component. |
Allocation components contain calculations for distributing data from members at one level in the database outline to other members in the outline.
Formula components contain calculation statements that you design using members, functions, and variables.
