Creating Applications

Caution!

This information is provided for use with Classic Financial Management applications only. For information on application administration using Performance Management Architect, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect Administrator's Guide.

You create an application by specifying this information:

The application server cluster on which to run the new application (The cluster name must be a valid server name.)

Note:

If you are using the Financial Management Win32 client, or if you selected the ADM Client component during installation to work with Financial Reporting, 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.

The application label
The application description
The application profile, which contains calendar, language, and frequency definitions for the application
The local storage folder, which stores some application information on your workstation
The Oracle's Hyperion® Shared Services project to which to add the application.
See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.
The Web server URL for security administration
Note:
After you create an application, you must set up security for it. See Managing Application Security.

Web Procedure

To create an application:

Select Navigate, then Administer, then Classic Application Administration, and then Consolidation Administration.
Select Create Application.
From the Server list, select the application server cluster on which to run the new application.
If the server cluster is not listed, you may need to register it. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.

For Application Name, enter a name for the new application.

The application label can have a maximum of either 10 alphanumeric characters or 12 bytes. It cannot start with a number or contain spaces, or special characters. Application labels are not case-sensitive. For example, App1 and APP1 are considered the same application. HFM, HSV, and HSX are reserved names and cannot be used for application labels or descriptions.

Caution!

Do not create applications with the same name even if they are on different Financial Management application servers. Applications of the same name but from different Financial Management application servers cannot coexist on one Shared Services server.

For Application Description, enter a description for the application.
The application description can have a maximum of 255 characters, and can include spaces. HFM, HSV, and HSX are reserved names and cannot be used for application descriptions.
Click Browse next to the Application Profile text box, and locate the application profile to use.
By default, application profiles use the PER file extension.
From the Project list, select the Shared Services project to which to add the application.
Note:
Each application must belong to a project. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.
For Financial Management Web Server URL for Security Administration, enter the URL.
Click Create.
