Managing Planning Data Sources

Data sources link the relational database and the Essbase server. For Planning, each application must be associated with a data source. You can view summary details for a data source, including name, description, Unicode support, use, database type, name, server, and user name, and Essbase server information.

Note:

If you use the EPM System Configurator to change the Essbase server, update the server name within Performance Management Architect.

To create and update data sources, see Entering Data Source Information. To delete data sources, see Deleting Data Sources.

Note:

Each application must also be associated with an instance. You work with instances in the EPM System Configurator. For more information, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
