Editing Shared Services Registry Data

Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Registry is part of the database that you configure for Oracle Hyperion Shared Services. (It shares the tablespace with the Shared Services database.)

Note:

In previous releases, Shared Services Registry was sometimes referred to as EPM System Registry.

Created the first time you configure Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System products, Shared Services Registry simplifies configuration by storing and reusing the following information for most EPM System products that you install:

• Initial configuration values such as installation directories, database settings, and deployment settings

• The computer names, ports, servers, and URLs that you use to implement multiple integrated EPM System products and components

• Dependent service data

Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Lifecycle Management provides a user interface that enables users to view registry content and export registry data to the file system, where it can be edited and reimported.

Users performing Lifecycle Management operations for deployment metadata must be assigned both the LCM Administrator and Shared Services Administrator roles.

Caution:

The Shared Services Registry artifacts are available as part of Lifecycle Management for editing configuration information on a given environment only. Do not use Lifecycle Management to migrate Shared Services Registry data from one environment to another.

Lifecycle Management helps you define Shared Services Registry artifacts to export. Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console also enables you to export individual registry artifacts to the file system, edit them, and import them back in after editing.

You can view all Shared Services Registry artifacts in the Shared Services Console under the Deployment Metadata node in the Foundation application group:

• All nodes (as per the registry taxonomy) are directories in Lifecycle Management.

• All attributes of a node are artifacts in Lifecycle Management.

• For attributes that are files (for instance, XML files), there is an artifact for the corresponding file type.

• All named value pair attributes for a node (component or product) are grouped into one artifact. This artifact is a file that contains all these attributes and gets copied when an Lifecycle Management export is performed.

For a listing of Shared Services Registry artifacts and Shared Services Registry migration options, see Deployment Metadata and Lifecycle Management.
