Working with Application Groups

Generally, Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System places a deployed application instance in an existing application group of your choice or into the default application group.

An application group is a container for EPM System applications. For example, an application group may contain a Oracle Hyperion Planning application and a Oracle Hyperion Financial Management application. While an application can belong to only one application group, an application group can contain multiple applications.

Generally, EPM System components place their applications into their own application groups. If an EPM System component does not create its own application group, the user registering the application can select an application group; for example, Default Application Group, to organize the applications. Applications that are registered with Oracle Hyperion Shared Services but are not yet added to an application group are listed under the Default Application Group node in the View pane. Provisioning Managers can provision users and groups with roles from applications listed in the Default Application Group node.

Topics detailing application group management tasks:

• Creating Application Groups

• Modifying Application Group Properties

• Deleting Application Groups

Note:

You must be a Functional Administrator or LCM Administrator to create and manage application groups. While a Functional Administrator can work with all registered applications. A Project Manager can view only with the applications for which that person is the Provisioning Manager.
