Redeploying Detail Profitability Applications

Redeploying performs a merge or a replace of the application metadata based on the types of changes made since the last deployment.

For Detailed Profitability applications, you may be prevented from redeploying if either of the following conditions exist:

  • A user-defined Measures Detailed dimension has been deleted. To continue with the redeploy, you must restore the deleted dimension using one of the following methods:

    • Import the correct version of the application

    • Recreate the dimension

    • Copy the dimension from the Shared Library in the Dimension Library screen

  • A dimension that is not used in the model has been deleted. All Model Data Registration Column Mappings to that dimension are also deleted. The list of deleted mappings is displayed in the EPMA log and the hpcm.log.

Note:

If users try to delete the dimensions in either case, a warning is generated during deployment and displayed in the EPMA.log on the Job Console screen in EPM Workspace.

  To redeploy a Profitability and Cost Management application in Performance Management Architect:

  1. Optional: Correct any validation conditions that may exist, and save the application.

  2. From EPM Workspace, select Navigate, then Administer, and then Application Library.

  3. Right-click the name of the application to be deployed, and select Deploy from the drop-down list.

    Applications are validated before they are deployed, and any validation errors display in the Job Console. You must correct all validation errors before deploying. When the validation is complete, the Deploy dialog box is displayed, showing the Application Name.

  4. Select Full Deploy to have Performance Management Architect send all dimensions sent to Profitability and Cost Management.

  5. Click Deploy.

    The Job Task window opens, to confirm the Validation Job has been submitted, and display the Job ID.

  6. On the Job Task window, click the link to display the job status.

    When the job is complete, a message is displayed under Detail to indicate the application has been deployed to Profitability and Cost Management. The application is available for selection.
