Loading Member Lists

After creating a member list script file, you load it into your application. Before loading the file, you can scan to verify that it is formatted correctly. When you modify the file, you must reload it into the application.

When you load member list files, the system waits for other tasks such as consolidation, data entry or other load processes to finish before proceeding to load the files. Oracle recommends that you load member lists during periods of light activity across the server cluster instead of, for example, during a long-running consolidation. You can check the Running Tasks page to see which consolidations or data loads, for example, are in progress.

After you load a member list file into an application, users using that application are notified that the system has changed and that they must log off from the application and log back on. The calculation status also changes to OK SC (system changed).

Note:

Oracle recommends that you add Oracle Hyperion Financial Management to the exceptions for your Web pop-up blocker. When you perform some tasks such as loading data, a status window pops up showing the task status. If you have a pop-up blocker enabled on your computer, the status window is not displayed.

To load member lists:

  1. Open the application.
  2. Select Consolidation, then Load, and then Application Elements.
  3. In the Member Lists section, enter the file name to load, or click Browse to locate the file.

    Note:

    By default, member list files use the LST file extension. The load process also accepts the TXT file extension, however, Oracle recommends that you use the LST file extension.

  4. Optional: Click Scan to verify that the file format is correct.
  5. Click Load.

    Note:

    If an invalid member list is loaded, users may not be able to access the data grid. If the following error message is displayed, you may need to correct the member list and load the file:

    EPMHFM-102: Error executing VBScript,
An unexpected error has occurred. Check server log or contact your system
administrator for more information.
  6. Optional: To download the log file, click Download Log. Click Open to display the log file, or Save and select a location to save the file locally.
