Planning as a Database Connection

Once you install the Oracle Hyperion Planning ADM driver, you can select Planning as a database connection. The Planning Details ADM driver is optimized as a data source to provide features such as supporting details, planning unit annotations, and metadata filtering. If your report grid does not use these Planning features, for optimal performance, choose Oracle Essbase as the database connection for your report. For more information, see Showing Supporting Detail for Planning and PlanningAnnotations.

Additional Considerations

  • Attribute dimensions are not supported as dimensions in Planning. (Use the MemberProperty text function to display attribute values in your report.)

  • Hsp_Rates is not available as a dimension when using the Planning data source.

  • Member selections using any level but level 0 are not supported.
