Financial Close Management Artifact Listing

Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management artifacts are listed in the Financial Close Management application group in Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console.

Note:

The artifacts displayed in Shared Services Console vary by implementation.

About the Artifact Listing

Note the following about the artifact listing:

• Artifact—Artifact name

• Description—Artifact description

• Last Modified Time—If this parameter is supported, reflects the time the artifact was imported. Some artifacts do not support the last modified time parameter.

• Last Modified User—If this parameter is supported, reflects the user who last modified the artifact. Some artifacts do not support the last modified user parameter.

• Editable on the File System—If yes, the artifact can be edited on the file system using a text editor. If no, the artifact can be edited only within the product.

• Dependencies—Lists artifact dependencies. For example, Financial Close Management Integration Types artifacts also require that Financial Close Management Integration Applications artifacts be migrated.
