Modifying the Management Ledger POV State

When a model is created, its status (State) is set to Draft. This indicates that the model can be viewed and edited. When the model is final, change the POV state to ensure it cannot be modified. The status is not an Oracle Essbase dimension.

The POV state can be set to one of the following: Draft, Published, or Archived.

Only the POV status can be changed. To modify any other parameters, you must create a new POV.

To change the POV state:

  1. In an open model, from Task Areas, select Manage Model, and then Points of View Manager (Figure 9-3).
  2. Select a POV to modify.
  3. Select Actions, and then Change Point of View State, Change Point of View icon.
  4. Under State, select the new status:
    • Draft — Build or edit the model, and generate dynamic reports.

    • Published — View the model, and generate dynamic reports

    • Archived— View the model and generate dynamic reports.

    You can change the state back to Draft at any time to edit the model.

    Note:

    If you modify the POV, only the state is changed. You are no longer be able to calculate the model if the status has been set to "Published" or "Archived".

  5. Click OK.
