Register and Import Data
To import data from an external application such as Planning, you’ll use a wizard; in it, you select the application's dimensions, properties, and connections to manage in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud. The registration process creates the components of the Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud data chain – node types, hierarchy sets, node sets, viewpoints and default view you’ll need to work with the application’s data in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud. The import process populates the data chain with nodes.
This diagram shows the registration and import process specifically for Planning application dimensions Account and Entity.

Planning Account and Entity dimensions are created and imported into Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud. Each dimension is represented in a viewpoint, node set, hierarchy set, and node type in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud. Users manage data in the Account and Entity viewpoints.
