Modifying the POV State

When an application is created, its status (State) is set to Draft. This indicates that the application can be viewed and edited. When the application is final, change the POV state to ensure it cannot be modified. The status is not an Oracle Essbase dimension.

The POV state can be set to one of the following: Draft, Published, or Archived.

Only the POV status can be changed. To modify any other parameters, you must create a new POV.

To change the POV state:

  1. Display the Points of View screen (Opening the Points of View Screen) or Execution Control screen ( Opening the Execution Control Screen ).
  2. Select a POV to modify.
  3. Select Actions, and then Change Point of View State, Change Point of View icon.
  4. Under Status, select the new state:

    • Draft — Build or edit the application, and generate dynamic reports.

    • Published — View the application, and generate dynamic reports

    • Archived— View the application and generate dynamic reports.

    You can change the state back to Draft at any time to edit the application.

    Note:

    If you modify the POV, only the state is changed. You are no longer be able to calculate the application if the status has been set to "Published" or "Archived".

  5. Click OK.
