This tutorial covers creating interface tables and importing data and metadata from interface tables.
Approximately 1 hour.
Performance Management Architect interface tables are database tables used to import data and metadata from external systems into the Dimension Library. They represent an alternative to flat files.
Your company wants to import data and metadata from an external source (Excel file or GL file) into a Financial Management application and a dimension library, respectively. To do this, you create an interface table data source. You then use a SQL program to extract the required data and metadata from the external source into the interface table. Next, you create an interface table definition and synchronization to import data from the interface table into the Financial Management application. Finally, you create and execute a profile to import metadata into the dimension library.
Before starting this tutorial, you should:
1. |
Have access to or have installed Oracle® Hyperion Financial Management, Fusion Edition 11.1.2 |
---|---|
2. |
Have access to or have installed Hyperion® Foundation Services 11.1.2 |
3 . |
Have installed and configured Hyperion® Shared Services 11.1.2 |
4 . |
Have created a Financial Management application (The Reports application is used for this tutorial.) |
5 . |
Have functional knowledge of a data transfer application or SQL load program |
In this part of the tutorial, you create and configure an interface table in Hyperion EPM System Configurator 11.1.2.0. You configure the interface table by creating data source links that are used during data synchronization and profile creation.
