Creating a Formula Component

You can create a formula component from the System View. Formula components can be used in business rules and templates.

Note:

Formula components can be used in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Hyperion Planning, and Oracle Essbase block storage business rules and custom templates.

To create a formula component:

1. In System View, click the New Object icon.
2. Enter the Application Type.
3. Select an Application.

   The application must be a valid Oracle Hyperion EPM Architect application, an application created with Financial Management or Planning, application administration, or an Essbase block storage application.

4. Do one of these tasks:
   1. If you selected Financial Management, select the Calculation Type.
   2. If you selected Planning, select the Plan Type.
   3. If you selected Essbase, select the Database.

   Note:

   From the System View, if you right-click Formulas and select New to create a new formula, the New Formula dialog is populated with the application type name, the application name, and the calculation type, the plan type, or the database name in which you are working.

5. Select Formula as the Object Type.
6. Enter the formula's name, and then click OK.

   The formula is displayed in the Component Designer. To design the formula component, see Designing a Formula Component.
