Exporting Template Files
Template files are created by exporting an entire Profitability and Cost Management application — including application metadata, dimension metadata, and program artifacts — in a single operation to create one application "template" file. Exporting and importing template files can be useful, for updating applications and migrating applications from on-premise to the Cloud.
