Overview of Shared Services Console

Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console comprises a View pane, also known as the Application Management pane, and task tabs. When you initially Access Shared Services Console, it displays the View pane and a Browse tab.

The View pane is a navigation frame where you can choose objects (such as Native Directory and application groups). Typically, details of the current selection in the View pane are displayed on the Browse tab. Additional task tabs open as needed, depending on the task that you perform; for example, a Report tab opens when you generate or view a report.

Depending on the current configuration, Shared Services Console lists your existing objects in the View pane. You can expand these object listings to view details. For example, you may select the User Directories node to view a list of configured user directories.

A shortcut menu, accessible by right-clicking an object, is associated with some objects in the View pane.

Shortcut menus associated with objects in the View pane provide the quickest method to perform operations on the objects. Options in shortcut menus change dynamically, depending on what you select. These options are available also on a menu in the menu bar. Buttons representing enabled menu options are displayed on the toolbar.

Note:

Because Native Directory is administered from Shared Services Console, some menu options available in the shortcut menu for Native Directory are not available for other user directories.

The following features are available through Shared Services Console:

• User directory configurations

• Single sign-on configuration

• Native Directory management

• Role-based access control management of users

• Audit configuration and report management

• Access to Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Lifecycle Management and product artifact exploration
