Deleting a Point of View

Caution:

You can delete a point of view; however, be aware that all of the data associated with the point of view will be deleted, and the calculation history for the deleted point of view will no longer be available on the Calculation Analysis page.

To delete a point of view:

  1. On the Calculation Control page, select the point of view you want to delete.

    You can select multiple points of view to delete if desired. For example, at the end of a fiscal year you may want to clear out the previous year's 12 periods of actuals and forecast.

  2. Click Delete POV icon, or select Actions, and then Delete.

  3. Click OK in the Confirmation dialog box to confirm that you want to proceed with the deletion.

  4. Optional: Go to the Jobs console and verify that the point of view was deleted successfully.

    The Delete Point of View job is displayed in the Jobs console with a "Completed" or "Completed with Errors" status. You can select the job to see details about the job and troubleshoot any errors that may have occurred. See Viewing Point of View Jobs. If you deleted more than one POV, a separate job is created for each deleted POV.

Note:

You can also use the "Delete Point of View" REST API or the "deletePointOfView" EPM Automate command to delete a point of view. See Delete Point of View in REST API for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud and deletePointOfView in Working with EPM Automate for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud.
