A set of operations that a user can perform on a Hyperion resource.

An alternative name. For example, for a more easily identifiable column descriptor you can display the alias instead of the member name.

Logical expressions or formulas that are created within an application to produce a desired set of resulting values.

A set of commands that define how a database is consolidated or aggregated. A calculation script may also contain commands that specify allocation and other calculation rules separate from the consolidation process.

(1) The data value at the intersection of dimensions in a multidimensional database; the intersection of a row and a column in a worksheet. (2) A logical group of nodes belonging to one administrative domain.

A selected portion of the database that represents the dimensions that are common to a particular component in an allocation process.

A block of data that contains three or more dimensions. An Analytic Services database is a cube.

A block of the database where calculated values are stored

A data category used to organize business data for retrieval and preservation of values. Each dimension usually contains a hierarchy of related members grouped within it. For example, a Year dimension often includes members for each time period, such as quarters and months.

A calculation script that may contain values for runtime prompts.

A combination of operators and calculation functions, as well as dimension names, member names, and numeric constants, used to perform specific calculations on members of a database.

A predefined routine that returns a value, a range of values, a Boolean value, or one or more database members.

Interactive users can review and approve budgets, set up e-mail notification to other users, create Web-based data forms, create worksheets using Hyperion Smart View for Office, create reports using Hyperion Reports, create and launch integrations using Hyperion Application Link, create and launch business rules using Hyperion Business Rules and/or Analytic Services, enter and view data in Web data forms and Hyperion Smart View.

The process of running a business rule, calculation script, or sequence against a database to return calculated values.

A reusable part of a business rule that can be referenced by other business rules and macros to save users time when they are writing their business rules. A macro can contain variables and other macros, but it cannot contain a copy of itself.

A discrete component within a dimension. A member identifies and differentiates the organization of similar units. For example, a time dimension might include such members as Jan, Feb, and Qtr1.

A set of data that defines and describes the properties and attributes of the data stored in a database or used by an application. Examples of metadata are dimension names, member names, properties, time periods, and security.

The process of copying an application or users from one environment or computer to another.

The database structure of a multidimensional database, including all dimensions, members, tags, types, consolidations, and mathematical relationships. Data is stored in the database according to the structure defined in the outline.

The process of granting users and groups specific access permissions to Hyperion resources.

A set of values that includes an upper and lower limit, and the values that fall between the limits. A range can consist of numbers, amounts, or dates.

A type of database that stores data in the form of related two-dimensional tables. Contrast with access permissions.

Stores metadata, formatting, and annotation information for views and queries.

The means by which access permissions are granted to users and groups for Hyperion resources.

A system variable that allows values to be entered during the execution of an allocation process. Values can be members, strings, or numbers.

Planning assumptions, created globally or locally, that can be named, saved and referenced in planning methods and allocations to help drive plan and budget values.

An explicitly defined set of members across multiple dimensions. This selection does not change as the dimension is maintained.

A block of the database or a number that is referenced in a calculation.

The process of checking a business rule or sequence against a database to ensure that its syntax is valid

A component of Business Rules that enables you to launch business rules and enter runtime prompts via a Web interface
