Generated Calculation Script Naming Conventions

When Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management generates Oracle Essbase scripts, the scripts are automatically named using specific conventions.

The driver calculation scripts and allocation calculation scripts are combined into one script per stage. The script name is created in the following format:

String scriptName = scriptSuffix + POV-identifier + Stage Order Number + "_" + index;

  • The script Suffix is based on the type of script. The following table displays the list of suffixes.

    Table E-1 Calculation Script Suffixes

    Script Type Cost Layer Revenue Layer
    Interstage Allocation "a" "r"
    Intrastage Allocation "i" "t"
  • The POV-identifier is based on the POV ID and may include up to three digits. A script is generated and identified for every POV.

  • The Stage Order Number is the order number for the Source stage (for example, 1, 2, 3, and so on).

  • If multiple scripts are generated because of script splitting, the _index displays the numerical sequence of the scripts for the same type, POV, Stage, and Layer, starting with 001, 002, and so on.

Sample Script Names

  • a3682001.csc represents a calculation script for POV identifier 368, Source Stage 2, and the cost layer.

  • t4533002.csc represents an intrastage calculation script for POV identifier 453, Source Stage 3, and the revenue layer.
