Roadmap for Setup Data Maintenance and Administration

Follow this high-level roadmap for Setup Data Maintenance and Administration.

Prerequisites:

Before you configure Oracle BI Applications, you must install and set up Oracle BI Applications according to the instructions in Chapter 4, Setting Up Oracle Business Intelligence Applications.

  1. During the Functional Configuration stage, you typically use Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager to monitor the setup data values that have been specified using Tasks in Functional Setup Manager.

    • To monitor Domain Mappings, in Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager, select the Manage Domains and Domain Mappings link from the Tasks bar to display the select Manage Domains and Domain Mappings dialog.

      Alternatively, in Functional Setup Manager, select the Go to Task link for a Task that updates a Domain or Domain Member mappings. For example, the Task name 'Manage Domains and Member Mappings for Employee Dimension' updates Domain and Domain Member Mappings.

    • To monitor Data Load Parameters, select the Data Load Parameters link from the Tasks bar to display the select Manage Data Load Parameters dialog.

      Alternatively, in Functional Setup Manager, select the Go to Task link for a Task that updates a Data Load Parameter value. For example, the Task named 'Configure Data Load Parameter Workforce Adjusted Service Date' updates a Data Load Parameter value.

    • To monitor Reporting Parameters, select the Manage Reporting Parameters link from the Tasks bar to display the select Manage Reporting Parameters dialog.

      Alternatively, in Functional Setup Manager, select the Go to Task link for a Task that updates a Reporting Parameter. For example, the Task named 'Configure Reporting Parameters for Year Prompting' updates a Reporting Parameter.

    Tip:

    Domain values can be used to define delivered business metrics; therefore, you must review the delivered domain member values and map them to the correct source values.

  2. During Functional Configuration of purchased Offerings, you use Functional Setup Manager to monitor the status of Tasks and the setup data values that have been set.

    For example, you might use the Implementation Project page in Functional Setup Manager to assess the number of completed tasks.
