About Using Aggregate Storage Components to Design Business Rules
Use aggregate storage components to design business rules.
Business rules in Oracle Essbase aggregate storage applications (including those used in Oracle General Ledger) are composed of different components than business rules in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Hyperion Planning, and Essbase block storage applications.
These are the components you use to design business rules in Essbase aggregate storage applications:
Note:
These components may be used in Essbase aggregate storage applications and Oracle General Ledger applications only.
-
Point of View components contain lists of metadata members (for example, lists of accounts).
Note:
You can nest a Point of View component within another Point of View component.
-
Allocation components contain calculations for distributing data from members at one level in the database outline to other members in the outline.
-
Formula components contain calculation statements that you design using members, functions, and variables.
As you create components, you may want to leave the business rules, components, templates and variables you're working with open. Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager displays these objects in a tabbed interface so you can move easily among the tabs as you are creating components. You can have as many as ten tabs open within Calculation Manager, but Oracle recommends that you not open more than ten objects simultaneously for optimum performance.
