Cloned Standard Profitability Dimensions

In instances where a dimension occurs in one or more stages in a model, after the model is deployed to Oracle Essbase and opened in Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management, an automatically-added cloned dimension is displayed.

The cloned dimensions create a distinct version of the dimension for each stage in which it is used.

For example, if you create a dimension called "Department", and use this dimension in some stages within the model, after the model is deployed to Essbase, you see the cloned dimensions in the model:

Department (original dimension)

  • GLDepartment (Cloned dimension for stage with prefix GL)

  • OPSDepartment (Cloned dimension for stage with prefix OPS)

  • OPSDepartment_intra (Cloned dimension for stage with prefix OPS that allows intrastage assignments).

If additional members are required, add the new members only to the original dimension. The new members are added to the cloned dimensions when the application is redeployed.

Note:

Any updates to cloned dimensions are not passed to Profitability and Cost Management and Essbase.
