  • Weighted Variable

  • Fixed and Variable

  • Percentage

  • Custom

complete_formulanvarchar (500)varchar2 (500)Formula created for the driver by a user. This formula must be created using Essbase calculation script syntax. See the Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management User's Guide.
fixed_locationnvarchar (30)varchar2 (30)Location of the standard driver measure “FixedDriverValue.”
rate_membernvarchar (80)varchar2 (80)Member in the Measures dimension that corresponds to the standard driver measure “Rate.”
rate_locationnvarchar (30)varchar2 (30)Location of the standard driver measure “Rate.”
weight_membernvarchar (80)varchar2 (80)Member in the Measures dimension that corresponds to the standard driver measure “Weight.”
weight_locationnvarchar (30)varchar2 (30)Location of the standard driver measure “Weight.”
volume_membernvarchar (80)varchar2 (80)Member in the Measures dimension that corresponds to the standard driver measure “Volume.”
volume_locationnvarchar (30)varchar2 (30)Location of the standard driver measure “Volume.”
custom_formulanvarchar (500)varchar2 (500)Formula created for the driver by a user. This formula must be created using Essbase calculation script syntax. See the Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management User's Guide.
cost_layernvarchar (30)varchar2 (30)The driver layer is set to Cost layer, which contains the cost values for the model.

Note:

Either the cost_layer, revenue_layer, or both must be selected.

revenue_layernvarchar (30)varchar2 (30)The driver layer is set to Revenue layer, which contains the revenue values for the model.

Note:

Either the cost_layer, revenue_layer, or both must be selected.

allow_idle_costnvarchar (1)varchar2 (1)Enter appropriate value to determine whether idle costs are allowed for this driver:
  • Enter “Y” (Yes) to allow idle cost for a driver.

  • Enter “N” (No) to disable idle cost for a driver. This is the default.

driver_basis_type nvarchar (80) VARCHAR2 (80) Select the required driver basis:
  • Actual Basis

  • Standard Basis

Note:

The Standard Basis driver cannot be used with Even or Percentage driver types.

priorityinteger integer Enter the calculation priority of a driver so that allocations within a stage can be run in the specified order.

The driver with the lowest priority is processed first. By default, the priority is set to 100, and the lowest (or first) priority is 0. Numbers do not have to be sequential. Drivers with the same priority are executed in no particular order. Only whole, positive numbers are valid.
