Prerequisites

To create applications, you must have the Application Creator global role for your Hyperion product (Financial Management, Profitability and Cost Management, Planning, Essbase (ASO), or Essbase (BSO)). In addition, to create applications that use shared dimensions you also must have the Dimension Editor role. For information on Performance Management Architect roles, see Security. For information on creating or assigning global roles, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.

Before you create applications, complete the following tasks:

  • Install and configure Shared Services.

  • Configure the product in which you plan to deploy applications. (Configuration includes creating the product instance and the data source.)

  • Optional: In Performance Management Architect, create a profile and load dimensions into the Shared Library. See Importing Metadata.

Note:

For all application types, you cannot name an application “Master.” The application name, “Master,” is a reserved name in Performance Management Architect. If you inadvertently name an application “Master,” an error message will display indicating that the application exists.
