Designing a Script Component
Script components can be used in business rules and templates. You create a script component from the System View or any of the other views. You can also create a script component from within the Rule or Template Designer while you are designing a business rule or template.
Note:
Script components can be used in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Hyperion Planning, and Oracle Essbase block storage business rules and custom templates.
Note:
You can also design a script component from within a business rule or template.
To design a script component:
- Enter a name, application type, and application for the script. Then do one of the following tasks:
-
Financial Management users only: If you are creating a Financial Management script, enter the calculation type.
-
Planning users only: If you are creating a Planning script, enter the plan type.
-
Essbase users only: If you are creating an Essbase script, enter the database.
-
- Financial Management users only: Select Enable Timer so the time taken to process the script is recorded in the log file when the rule is launched. You can enable the timer for rules, rulesets, and components. The process time is included in the log file for every object whose timer is enabled. For example, if you have a rule whose timer is enabled and the rule contains three scripts whose timers are enabled, the time taken to process the rule, and each script in the rule, is recorded.
- Financial Management users only: Select Embedded to embed the contents of the script component inside any rules using it when generating the Visual Basic script.
- Financial Management users only: In Parameters, enter script parameters.
- Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase block storage users only: On Script, enter a caption for the script component.
