17 Creating an Application

Account Reconciliation enables you to create a sample or new application. Only one application can exist in a single environment.

Before you begin:

• Consider the scope of your application; decide what data you should include and how it should be organized.
• Preconfigure your environment, as described in Pre-configuring Your Environment.

You can create your application using one of the following options:

• Create a Sample application

  The sample application provides pre-loaded sample data and related artifacts, enabling you to try different operations. Using this out-of-box environment, you can explore the capabilities and performance of Account Reconciliation to get familiar with the functionality enabling you to more easily work with Account Reconciliation once you are ready.

  See Creating a Sample Application.

• Create a New application

  A new application enables you to create the application and then load your own data, either manually or using a flat file. This can also be used with migration functionality to bring in a previously saved backup snapshot.

  See Creating a New Application.

• Migrate an existing application

  To import a business process from a snapshot that you previously uploaded to the environment. See Migrating to the Same or a Different Environment in Administering Oracle Account Reconciliation.

  See What Applications Can I Migrate to EPM Standard Cloud Service and EPM Enterprise Cloud Service? in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators for prerequisites and snapshot compatibility.

  See these topics in Administering Migration for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud:

  • Backing up Artifacts and Application
  • Uploading Archives to the Service
  • Importing Artifacts and Application from a Snapshot
