Metadata is defined as the structural elements of an application that describe and store data, for example, dimension names, member names, properties, exchange rates, and security. You can define metadata for Classic Financial Management applications in two ways:
Create an XML or APP metadata file and load it to an application.
Use Metadata Manager to create an XML or APP metadata file and load it to an application.
Note: | You must set up security for an application before you can load metadata. |
Sample metadata files are included when you install Sample Applications for Financial Management. The files are located in the Sample Applications folder in the directory to which you installed Financial Management.
