Managing Applications

Caution!

The information in this chapter about application administration is provided for use with Classic Financial Management applications only. If you transform an application created in Classic application administration to Performance Management Architect, you then cannot work with that application in Classic Financial Management administration. For information on application administration using Performance Management Architect, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect Administrator's Guide.

An application consists of a set of entities, accounts, scenarios, and other dimensions that you use together. You can create as many applications as you need. For example, you can set up one application to report on tax data for several organizations and another application to report on Security and Exchange Commission data for other organizations.

For application administration, these security roles are required: Dimension Editor and Financial Management Application Creator/Financial Management Manager. For information on roles, see the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System User Security Administration Guide.

Applications run on application servers. You can set up clusters of application servers to balance the load on multiple servers. For instructions, see the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.

Only members of the Administrator group that you specify when you configure the application server can perform these administrative tasks:
