Adding Stages to the Application

Standard Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management uses model stages to reflect each major business process or activity. You assign dimensions to each stage to define the intersections where data for the stage is stored.

Newly deployed applications do not contain stages. You must add at least one model stage before you can deploy the application to Oracle Essbase.

Note:

You can import model stage data into Standard Profitability and Cost Management. See the Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management Administrator's Guide.

To add stages:

1. Open a Standard Profitability and Cost Management application.
   1. Access Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace. See Accessing EPM Workspace.
   2. From EPM Workspace, select File, then Open, then Applications, and then Profitability.
   3. Select the Standard Profitability and Cost Management application that you created.
2. From Manage Model in the View pane, select Stages.
3. Click the Add icon above the Stage list.
4. Enter required stage information. Consult online help for assistance.
5. Click OK.
