Working with Accelerator Applications

Accelerator applications are application templates that enable you to create Universal applications in Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Data Management for application types that do not have a dedicated application adapter.

The accelerator application helps expedite the application creation process in Cloud EDM by providing a template that contains the basic dimensions, node types, properties, and validations for an application so that you do not have to create all of those objects manually.

Accelerator application templates are available to create Universal applications for the following application types:

  • Oracle Financial Services Accounting Foundation Cloud Service (AFCS) applications
  • Oracle Financial Services Data Foundation Cloud Service (DFCS) applications.

Accessing the Accelerator Application Template

You access the accelerator application template by exporting it from the sample application. Follow these steps to create the sample application and access the accelerator application template.

Note:

You access the sample application by recreating your service. Therefore, the following procedure details steps to back up your testing environment, recreate the service, create the sample application, export the template, and then restore your original testing environment. If you have another environment from which you can access the sample application then these steps may not be necessary.
  1. In your testing environment, back up your service. See Backup Application in Administering Migration .
  2. Recreate your service. See Recreating the Service.
  3. Create the sample application. See Creating a Sample Application.
  4. In the sample application, use the template feature to export one or both of the following accelerator applications.
    • AFCS: Accelerator application for Oracle Financial Services Accounting Foundation Cloud Service.
    • DFCS: Accelerator application for Oracle Financial Services Data Foundation Cloud Service.

    See Exporting Applications or Dimensions to a Template.

    Note:

    All other applications in the sample application are for sample purposes only and do not support being used as accelerator applications.
  5. In the testing environment, restore your service from the backup. See Importing Artifacts and Application from a Snapshot in Administering Migration .

Creating the Accelerator Applications From the Template

After you have exported the accelerator application template, you import it into your target environment to create the accelerator applications. The target environment can be your restored testing environment or another development environment.

  1. In your target environment, import the template to create the accelerator application. See Importing Applications or Dimensions from a Template.
  2. Make a copy of the accelerator application, and then optionally archive and delete the original. See Copying Applications and Archiving, Unarchiving, and Deleting Applications.

    Note:

    The accelerator application templates are intended as starting points for creating applications and are not designed to be used for future upgrades to those applications.

Configuring and Using the Accelerator Application

After you have copied the accelerator application in your target environment, you configure it as required with workflow policies, permissions, viewpoint subscriptions, additional properties, validations, etc. For details on configuring the application, see the documentation for the application type that you are configuring:

Tip:

To expedite receiving technical support:
  • Reference Cloud EDM if you run into issues installing the sample application, exporting or importing the accelerator template, or copying the application.
  • Reference the specific application (for example, Oracle Financial Services) if you run into issues configuring or using the accelerator application.
