About Property Creation

Properties are created in three ways in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud:

  • Predefined properties are created automatically when you register a packaged application using an application-specific adapter. The properties that get created are affected by the settings that you specify during registration (for example, how many cubes and aliases you add when registering a Planning application). These predefined properties are bound to your external applications, and they are included in imports and exports. See Understanding Application Types.
  • When you register a Universal application, you can create custom properties during the registration process. Properties that you create during registration are added to a bound node type, and are included in imports and exports. See Creating a Custom Property.
  • You can create properties manually from the Properties page. These properties are not bound to applications initially, and they do not get imported or exported. You can bind them to a Universal application by modifying the application registration and adding the property to a bound node type. See Creating Properties Manually.
