Registering Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger Applications

When you register an Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger application into Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud, an application and default view are created to represent the external application. Dimensions, node types, and a list node set are created to represent segments and their associated value sets. Viewpoints, hierarchical node sets, and hierarchy sets are created to represent the trees and tree versions.

Before you begin:

  • Ensure that you have the Application - Create role to register an application. After the registration, you are automatically granted the Owner permission on the application and the default view.

    Note:

    The Service Administrator assigns roles, see Understanding Application Roles and Permissions.
  • Decide which segments and associated value sets in your chart of accounts you want to register. After you define your segments and value sets, you add the trees for each segment during the registration process. See Working with Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger Applications.

To register an application:

  1. From Applications, click Register.
  2. Select Financials Cloud General Ledger as the application type.
  3. Enter an application Name and, optionally, a Description.

    Note:

    The application type, name, and description are displayed in the Application list.
  4. If you are connecting to an external Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger server, click Add, and define the connection settings. When you export data from your Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud application to a comma-delimited file, you can export to the external application server, where you can then import it into your Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger application. See Exporting Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger Dimensions.

    You can add multiple application connections.

    Field Valid Values Example: connecting to an external application

    Connection Name

    Enter a required connection name that is unique to this application.

    Note:

    The connection name cannot contain spaces.

    US Financial Cloud GL Connection

    Connection Description

    Enter an optional description.

    Use this connection to connect to an Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger server.

    Instance Location

    Enter a connection URL to the Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger service in the format:

    https://ServiceName-IdentityDomain-ServiceType.DataCenter.oraclecloud.com    		 https://fincloudgl-uscompany-fcgl.US11.oraclecloud.com

    where

    • ServiceName is fincloudgl
    • IdentityDomain is uscompany
    • ServiceType is fcgl
    • DataCenter is US11

    Identity Domain

    Enter the identity domain of the external application.

    Note:

    This is the same Identity Domain used in the Instance Location.
    		uscompany

    Username

    Enter an authorized user name

    Caution:

    For exports to a connection, the authorized user must have the FUN_FSCM_REST_SERVICE_ACCESS_INTEGRATION_PRIV privilege in Oracle ERP Cloud.

    tom.smith

    Note:

    You must enter the identity domain in one of these fields: Identity Domain or Username. For example, enter uscompany in Identity Domain or uscompany.tom.smith in Username.

    Password

    Enter a password.

    xxxxxxxx

    Primary Connection

    Select this check box to make this the default for exporting to the external application.

    		 
  5. Click Create.
  6. In Active Languages, enter the languages that have an Active status in the Oracle Financials Cloud application.

    Note:

    As you type the name of a language, a list of supported languages that match your text entry are displayed. Select the language to add it to the Active Languages list.
  7. Select a single Base Language for the application. You can choose from any of the languages that you added as active languages in the previous step.
  8. Optional: Select the check boxes next to each field that apply to your application:
    • Allow Multiple Root Nodes: enables more than one root node in the hierarchy.
    • Allow Duplicate Nodes: enables shared nodes. See Understanding Shared Nodes.

      Note:

      By default, duplicate nodes are not enabled. They should only be enabled for trees that will not be published in Oracle Financials Cloud (that is, they do not have the Publish Hierarchies to Cube export option enabled. See Managing Export Options.).
  9. In Max Depth, enter the depth limit for the data in your tree structure, or enter -1 if your tree structure does not have a depth limit.
  10. In Tree Labels, optionally add one or more allowed values for tree labels. The labels that you enter are added as allowed values for the FCGL.Tree Label property.

    Tree labels can be a maximum of 50 characters each, and they cannot contain leading or trailing spaces.

  11. Continue the registration. See Adding Global Descriptive Flexfields.
