Registering Target Applications

Subtopics

You must register target applications for use with FDMEE. When you register target applications, you select the target application that requires metadata and/or data from one or more source systems.

  To register target applications:

  1. Select the Setup tab, and then under Register, select Target Application.

  2. In Target Application, in the Target Application summary grid, click Add.

  3. In Select Application, from Application Type, select the application.

    Valid application types:

    • Financial Management

    • Planning

    • Essbase

    • Account Reconciliation Manager

    • Applications Registered in FDM

    • Custom Applications

  4. FDM Target Applications only: From FDM Application, select the FDM application, and then from Name, select the application name, and then click OK.

  5. In Application Details, enter the application name.

  6. Click OK.

  7. If using an Essbase database, select the Essbase Database Name.

  8. In Target Application, click Save.

  9. Define the dimension details.

    See Defining Application Dimension Details.

    Note:

    Do not modify dimensions in the EPMA application after you have registered the target application in FDMEE. Any action such as sharing or removing the dimension, and then re-adding it, alters the dimensions ID and creates a mismatch between EPMA and FDMEE.

  10. Select the application options.

    For Essbase or Planning applications, see Defining Application Options for Essbase and Planning.

    For Public Sector Planning and Budgeting, see Defining Application Options for Public Sector Planning and Budgeting.

    Note:

    No application options are available for the Account Reconciliation Manager.
