Profitability and Cost Management uses Performance Management Architect to select dimensions to build the Essbase outline that is used for the profitability model. All dimensions and members are created in Performance Management Architect, and imported into the Profitability and Cost Management application to build the model.
Note: | Lifecycle Management can be used not only to import or export model data, but also to import or export applications in Performance Management Architect. |
From Performance Management Architect, you can perform the following tasks:
Create, edit and copy dimensions
Set up aliases
Create, view, and delete dimension associations
Create, view, rename, and delete members
Edit property values
Deploy applications to Profitability and Cost Management
View transaction logs
Synchronize data between Profitability and Cost Management and other applications, Essbase databases (ASO and BSO), external source (flat files), and interface tables
