Caution!

The information in this chapter about application administration is provided for use with Classic Financial Management applications only. If you upgrade an application created in Classic Application Administration to Performance Management Architect, you cannot return to working with that application in Classic Application Administration. For information on application administration using Performance Management Architect, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect Administrator's Guide.

For application administration, these security roles are required: Dimension Editor and Application Creator/Financial Management Application Creator. For information on roles, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.

An application consists of a set of entities, accounts, scenarios, and other dimensions that you use together. You can create as many applications as you need. For example, you can set up one application to report on tax data for several organizations and another application to report on Security and Exchange Commission data for other organizations.

Applications run on application servers. You can set up clusters of application servers to balance the load on multiple servers. For instructions, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.

Note:

If you are using the Financial Management Win32 client, or if you selected the ADM Client component during installation to work with Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition, Oracle's Hyperion® Web Analysis, and Oracle's Hyperion® Application Builder for J2EE, you must register servers and clusters using the Financial Management Configuration Utility. For instructions, see Using the Financial Management Configuration Utility.

Only members of the Administrator group that you specify when you configure the application server can perform these administrative tasks:
