Deploying Consolidation Applications

Financial Management requires certain dimensions, depending on how the application is set up. To avoid validation errors, ensure that the application includes all required dimensions.

Note:

For information on deploying business rules, see the Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager Designer’s Guide.

  To deploy Consolidation applications:

  1. Click Navigate, Administer, Application Library.

  2. Right-click the Consolidation application, select Deploy, Application.

    You can also select Rules to deploy only rules, or All to deploy the application with its business rules. For information on deploying business rules, see the Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager Designer’s Guide.

  3. If the Application Validation Errors dialog box is displayed, fix the errors and then try to deploy again.

    The Deploy dialog box is displayed.

    Deploy dialog box.

    If you are redeploying, some options are not available, such as instance name, application server, and data source.

  4. Perform these tasks:

    1. Optional: Add notes pertaining to the deployment of this application. These notes are appended to the job description in the Job Console. This text field allows up to 150 characters and contain any characters.

    2. Select the Instance Name (Cluster name).

    3. Select the Application Server.

    4. Select the Shared Services Project.

    5. Optional: Select Clear All Metadata and Data—all dimension members in the application database are deleted as well as any corresponding data, journals, and intercompany transactions.

      See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management Administrator's Guide for information on clearing data from removed dimension members.

    6. Optional: Select Check Referential Integrity—checks the metadata against the data to ensure integrity. For example, if you rename members and select Check Referential Integrity, the deployment log lists all artifacts affected by the rename. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management Administrator's Guide.

    Note:

    After you deploy an application, you cannot change the Year, Period or View dimensions.

  5. If you are deploying business rules, you can also select Deploy Rules or Continue Deploy Rules Even if Rules Validation Fails. For information on deploying business rules, see the Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager Designer’s Guide.

    Note:

    The “Full Deploy” option is available when you redeploy applications. For additional information, see Redeploying Applications.

  6. Click Deploy.

    Note:

    If a deployment is interrupted or deleted, the status may show “deploy pending” and the deployment may time out. The default time out is 480 minutes (8 hours). You can change the default in awbconfig.properties. If a deployment times out you should deploy the application again, even though the status may indicate that it is in sync with deployment, it may not be because of the time out.
