Understanding Data Synchronization

Data synchronization enables you to synchronize and map data between Hyperion applications, interface tables, and external files.

Tasks enabled by the Data Synchronization module:

  • Create and modify synchronizations

  • Select source and destination applications or files (external sources for source only)

  • Define mappings between sources and destinations

  • Validate synchronizations

  • Execute synchronizations

  • View logs of synchronization activities

The Data Synchronization module enables you to create synchronizations between Financial Management, Planning, Profitability and Cost Management, Essbase (ASO), and Essbase (BSO) as destinations, and the following sources:

  • Financial Management

  • Planning

  • Profitability and Cost Management

  • Essbase ASO

  • Essbase BSO

  • External source (flat file)

  • Interface table

Performance Management Architect enables you to synchronize data in three locations:
