Setting System-Level Profiles

Use system settings to update or clear system level profiles that apply to entire system.

To define system settings:

  1. On the Setup tab, under Configure, select System Settings.
  2. In System Settings, in Profile Type, select the specific profile to list on the System Settings screen.

    Available profile types:

    • All

    • File—In addition to file-specific system settings, selecting the File profile type displays the "Create Application Folders" button. This feature instructs the system to create a folder structure in the path specified in the Application Root Directory setting.

    • ODI—Use to set ODI password and repository connection information. When this information gas been added or changed, you can click Check ODI Connection to view if connection to the ODI agent was made successfully.

    • Other—Use to set profiles associated with an EPMA data source, User Language, User Interface Theme, and Default Check Report.

    • Point-of-View

    The profile type that you select determines the settings that you can add or modify on the screen.

  3. Select the option and add the new value in Value.

    If Image shows Browse icon. is displayed in the Select field, you can search on the value.

    Note:

    When you install and configure Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition, Oracle Data Integrator is automatically installed and configured for you. The database for Oracle Data Integrator is in the same database as FDMEE and the Oracle Data Integrator agent deployed to the FDMEE Managed Server. You should be familiar with Oracle Data Integrator and review the Oracle Data Integrator documentation set before specifying or changing the installation defaults.

  4. Click Save.

Table 1-8 System Setting Profile Options

Profile Type Profile Option Profile Description
All Includes all profile types  
File Application Root Folder

The Application Root Directory must be set up on the server, specified in this field, and the Create Application Folder option must be executed as first steps when using FDMEE.

The Application Root folder identifies the root directory of the FDMEE application. This folder is located on the FDMEE server and functions as the root folder for all FDMEE activities. Based on this parameter, FDMEE saves log files, generated files and reports to the appropriate folder under this root directory. Parameters must be set up on the server separately from this setup step.

When you select the File profile type, the System Setting screen displays the Create Application Folder button. This feature instructs the system to create a folder structure in the path specified in this field. The folder structure is (with sub-folders in each):

data

inbox

outbox

Within the inbox, locations are created when they are added in the Locations option. See also FDMEE Application Folder Architecture.

When you specify a folder at the application level, and select the Create Application Folders option, a set of folders is created for the application that includes a scripts folder. Create scripts specific to an application in this folder. This is especially important for event scripts that are different between applications. If you do not set up an application level folder, then you cannot have different event scripts by application.

If you specify a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path, share permissions on the folder must allow access to the DCOM user for read/write operations. Use a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path for the application root folder when Oracle Hyperion Financial Management and FDMEE are on separate servers. Contact your server administrator to define the required UNC definition.

If a UNC path is not entered, then you must enter the absolute path. For example, specify C:\Win-Ovu31e2bfie\fdmee

Note:

An "8.3" notation does not exist in the Microsoft operating systems, although it is accepted as an alias. Also note that it cannot be used as a substitute for the correct UNC path for folder names that include spaces.
File Create Location Folder

Instructs the system to create a location folder in the inbox when a location is created. Available values are Yes or No. Set this option once and do not change it. This setting is optional but recommended.

File Archive Mode

Specifies whether archived files are copied or moved to the archive location. Enter Copy, Move, or None.

If you select Copy, then the file is left in the inbox.

If you select Move, then the file is copied to the archive folder and deleted from the inbox.

The folder named data is the archive folder.

When the file is moved to the archive location, it is renamed as follows:

<Process ID><Year><Month><Day>.<Original Extension>

For example, if the source file name is BigFile.csv, and it was loaded for period Mar-07 with a period key of 03/01/2007, and if the process id was 983, then the resulting file name is 98320070301.csv.

File Excluded File Upload Wild Cards

Specify file extensions that cannot be uploaded.

Enter *.* to disallow all file uploads.

File Batch Size

Specify the number of rows read at a time from the file to memory. This parameter is mainly used for performance. When data is loaded, this setting determines how many records are stored in the cache. For example, when 1000 is specified; the system stores 1,000 records in cache. Similarly, when 5000 is specified, the system stores 5,000 records in cache and commit. Determine this setting by Server Memory and adjust as needed.

File File Character Set

Specify the method for mapping bit combinations to characters for creating, storing, and displaying text.

Each encoding has a name; for example, UTF-8. Within an encoding, each character maps to a specific bit combination; for example, in UTF-8, uppercase A maps to HEX41.

Click Image shows Search button to view available character sets.

Encoding refers to mapping bit combinations to characters for creating, storing, and displaying text.

Convert the encoding to UNICODE if your source file is not in one of the supported formats.

File Encrypted Password Folder

Specify the directory where the files that store passwords in encrypted form is located.

This encrypted password folder is used with the "Update Configuration File" button. See Working with Batch Scripts.

FDMEE uses the user language to query the language data, for example, column titles, segment name, and so on.

Other User Interface Theme

The default theme contains all the colors, styles, and general-use icons that are displayed in the user interface. FDMEE uses BLAF+ as the default value.

Other Default Check Report

Specify the type of Check Report to use as the default check report. The following are pre-seeded check reports, but you can create a new one and specify it here:

  • Check Report—displays the results of the validation rules for the current location (pass or fail status).

  • Check Report Period Range (Cat, Start per, End per)—Displays the results of the validation rules for a category and selected periods.

  • Check Report by Val. Entity Seq.—Displays the results of the validation rules for the current location (pass or fail status); sorted by the sequence defined in the validation entity group.

  • Check Report with Warnings—Displays the results of the validation rules for the current location. Warnings are recorded in validation rules and shown if warning criteria are met. This report does not show rules that passed the validation.

Other Default Intersection Report

Specify the type of Intersection Check Report to use as the default intersection check report at the system level. Intersection reports identify data load errors and are generated as part of the data validation step in the Data Load Workbench. The reports are available in two formats: Dynamic Column or Fixed Column format. The Fixed Column displays up to four custom dimensions.

Other Batch Timeout in Minutes

When a batch job is run in sync mode (immediate processing), specify the maximum time the job can run. In sync mode, FDMEE waits for the job to complete before returning control.

When you select to override all data, the following message is displayed "Warning: Override All Data option will clear data for the entire application. This is not limited to the current Point of View. Do really want to perform this action."

Other Enable Map Audit

Set to Yes to create audit records for the Map Monitor reports (Map Monitor for Location, and Map Monitor for User). The default value for this setting is No.

Other

Access to Open Source Document

When drilling down to the FDMEE landing page, this setting determines access to the Open Source Document link (which opens the entire file that was used to load data).

  • Administrator—Access to Open Source Document link is restricted to the administrator user.

  • All Users—Access to the Open Source Document link is available to all users. All Users is the default setting.

Other Map Export Delimiter
