Performing Other Application Actions

For applications created in the Profitability Applications Console, you can perform the following tasks from the Actions menu: Delete, Duplicate, Validate and Enable, Re-Register, Metadata Validation, and Update Dimensions. See the note under Duplicate in step 3, following.

Note:

For Management Ledger applications, you can also export and import template files (Exporting Templates and Creating Management Ledger Applications by Importing Template Files)

To perform an application action in the Profitability Applications Console:

1. From Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace, select Navigate, then Administer, and then Profitability Applications.
2. On the Applications tab, select the target application.
3. Select Actions, and then one of the following options:

   • Delete—Deletes the selected application

     Ensure no other users require this application before deleting it.

   • Duplicate—Copies the selected application

     You will be asked to provide a name for the new application.

     Note:

     When you duplicate an application in the Profitability Applications Console, dimensions and members are copied and the application is deployed. To add other artifacts such as POVs, calculation rules, and so on to Standard and Detailed Profitability applications, you must export those from the source system and use Lifecycle Management (LCM) to import them into the new application (Migrating Data Using EPM System Lifecycle Management). For Management Ledger applications, you can export a template file and then import it into the new application (including input data, see Preparing Templates and Flat Files for Creating and Updating Management Ledger Profitability Applications).

   • Validate and Enable—Validates the selected application and enables it when valid

     Results are displayed on the Job Library tab (). If a validation error occurred, click the link for details. You can create a file of errors for easier correction.

   • Re-Register—Refreshes the Oracle Hyperion Shared Services registration for the selected application

   • Metadata Validation—Runs cross-dimension validations on the deployed data for the selected application but does not enable valid applications

     Select Validate and Enable to enable valid applications.

   • Update Dimensions—Add or remove dimension members for the selected application

     For details, see Updating Application Dimensions.

4. Respond to any confirmation prompts.

Tip:

View and refresh the Job Library tab to check the current status of a Profitability Applications Console job (Viewing Tasks in the Profitability Applications Console Job Library).
