Modifying Registered Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management Applications

After you register an Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management application, you can modify it. For example, you can register additional dimensions, remove dimensions, change the multi-currency setting, or add a cube. The application, dimension, and data objects are updated based on your changes. The dimension binding rules are updated to reflect the modifications you make.

Note:

If you remove a cube, attribute dimension, or alias, its corresponding property is unbound from the dimension and is no longer imported or exported. For example, if you remove the Default alias dimension, the corresponding property, Alias: Default, is no longer imported or exported for the node type. The property remains on the node type until you remove it.

If you remove a dimension, the corresponding data chain objects are unbound from that dimension but they are not deleted. See Understanding Modifying Applications.

Before you begin:

To modify an application, you need Owner or Metadata Manager permission on the application.

   Note:

   If you make changes to the registration of an application that is not in Draft status but do not apply them, they are not saved when you close the registration wizard.

   If you make changes to the registration of an application in Draft status but do not apply them, they are saved and may be able to be updated and applied later. However, if you make changes to bound data objects outside of the registration wizard it may clear the saved changes because the registration must be kept in sync with the bound objects.
