Specifying Plan Types

Specify one to three plan types for the application. A separate Essbase database is created for each plan type. You cannot change the name or number of plan types after creating an application.

As you create accounts, entities, and other elements of the application, you associate them with plan types, so the database for each plan type contains only information relevant to the plan type. This optimizes application design, size, and performance.

For information on the plan type for Oracle Hyperion Public Sector Planning and Budgeting, Fusion Edition, see the Oracle Hyperion Public Sector Planning and Budgeting User's Guide.

  To select plan types:

  1. In the Classic Application Wizard, click Plan Types.

    See Setting Up Classic Applications.

  2. For each plan type in the application, select the Plan Type and specify a plan name.

    You must select least one Planning plan type. You can have up to three Planning plan types, and names can contain up to eight characters. (Although it is possible to enter more than eight bytes using single-byte and double-byte characters, an error message displays when the Essbase database is created.)

  3. Click Next to review application information and create the application.
