Activate the Descriptive Flex Fields

After selecting the attributes for the descriptive flex fields (DFFs) that you want, you must activate them to enable data load.

Activation involves these two steps:
  • The Generate step initializes the custom application for activation. Generate evaluates the selections for the DFFs and prepares the application for deployment. It changes the status to scheduled and after processing, sets the custom application as active.
  • After the Generate step is complete, you can deploy the custom application. In the Deploy step, Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence connects to the source system and extracts the data for the selected flex fields and their attributes. Once the data is copied to the warehouse, the data is visible for analysis in the subject areas. The subsequent incremental data loads copy the data for the DFFs to the warehouse automatically.
