Creating a Script Component

You can create a script component from the System View. Script components can be used in business rules and templates.

  To create a script component:

  1. Enter the script's name.

  2. Enter the Application Type (Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase).

  3. Select an Application Name. The application name must be a valid Performance Management Architect application, a Classic Financial Management or Planning application, or an Essbase block storage application.

  4. Do one of these tasks:

    1. If you selected Financial Management, select the Calculation Type.

    2. If you selected Planning, select the Plan Type.

    3. If you selected Essbase, select the Database.

    Note:

    If you right-click Scripts, and select New to create a new script, the New Script dialog is populated with the application type, the application, and the calculation type (for Financial Management scripts), the plan type (for Planning scripts), or the database (for Essbase scripts) you are working in within the System View.

  5. Click OK.

    The script is displayed in the Component Designer. To design the script, see Designing a Script Component (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only).
