2 . Enter your Performance Management Architect username and password with the following syntax, and press Enter:

login username,password;

Creating Planning Applications

Performance Management Architect Batch Client enables you to create a new, empty Planning application with the specified name. Empty applications are oftentimes referred to as shell applications. After creating shell applications, you can create, import, or copy dimensions and members in Shared Library and within Planning applications.

Creating Shell Applications

To create shells for Planning applications:

1 . Create the shell application with the following syntax, and press Enter:

Create Application Properties(ApplicationName, ApplicationDescription, ApplicationType) Values('PlanBud', 'Planning Budget Application',

'Planning');

Application Name—A string containing a valid name for the application. In this example, 'PlanBud' is used.ApplicationDescription—A string containing a valid description for the application. In this example, 'Planning Budget Application' is used.ApplicationType—Enter 'Planning' for Planning applications.

The following message is displayed: The application "PlanBud" has been created with objectid "1_4".

Adding Dimensions and Members

You can create dimensions and members in Shared Library or within an application. You can add dimensions and members to the Shared Library, or you can copy them from the Shared Library to an application. You can add dimensions as shared dimensions or you can copy them to the application as local dimensions. You can insert a copy of a member as a shared member in an application. However, you can use the Insert Member command only on local dimensions and Shared Library dimensions. You cannot insert members in a shared dimension in an application. You can also import dimensions and members to an application or Shared Library using an ADS file. This section covers the different methods of adding dimensions and members by using Batch Client:

1 . Create dimensions with the following syntax and press Enter:

Create Dimension Properties(ApplicationName, DimensionName, DimensionDescription, DimensionType) Values(#Shared,'Entity','Entity Dimension','Entity');

ApplicationName—The name of an existing application. Use #Shared to create a dimension in the Shared Library.DimensionName—A valid name for the dimension. In this example, 'Entity' is used.Dimension Description—A string containing a valid description for the dimension. In this example, 'Entity Dimension' is used.DimensionType—Dimension Type can be any one of the following: Account, Alias, AllocationType, Attribute, ConsolidationMethod, Country, Currency, Entity, Generic, ICP, Measure, Scenario, SecurityClass, SmartList, Time, UDA, Value, Version, View, Year.

Note: Planning requires six dimensions. If these six dimensions are already created in Dimension Library, you can add them to the application instead.

2 . Create members with the following syntax and press Enter:

Create Member Properties(ApplicationName, DimensionName, ParentName, MemberName, MemberDescription) Values('PlanBud','Account', '#root', 'Income Statement', 'Income Statement Accounts');

ApplicationName—The name of an existing application. Use #Shared to create a dimension in the Shared Library. In this example, 'PlanBud' is used.DimensionName—The name of an existing dimension. In this example, 'Account' is used.ParentName—The name of the parent under which to insert the newly created member. Use #Root to add a new member at the top level of the tree. MemberName—A valid name for the new member. In this example, 'Income Statement' is used.MemberDescription—A description for the new member. In this example, 'Income Statement Accounts' is used.

3 . Import dimensions and members by using an ADS file with the following syntax, and press Enter:

Execute Import Parameters(importtype, profilename, filename, waitforcompletion)Values('flatfile', 'PlanApp', '.\AppFiles\PlanApp.ads', 'true');

ImportType—The type of import to perform. Allowed values are: FlatFile and InterfaceTables.ProfileName—The name of an existing import profile. In this example, 'PlanApp' is used.

FileName—The name of the flat file to import, if performing a flat file type import. In this example, the ' PlanApp.ads' flat file in the AppFiles directory is used.WaitForCompletion—If set to true, Batch Client waits for the job to finish. If set to false, the Batch Client submits the job and continues. Allowed values are: True or False.

The following figure displays a sample ADS file:

4 . Use the following syntax to copy dimensions within Shared Library, within an application, or between Shared Library and an application, and press Enter:

Copy Dimension Properties(ApplicationName, DimensionName, TargetDimensionName, TargetDimensionDescription, destApplicationName) Values('#Shared', 'Scenario','Scenario', 'Scenario Dimension', 'PlanBud');

ApplicationName—The name of an existing application. Use #Shared to copy a dimension from the Shared Library.DimensionName—The name of an existing dimension. In this example, 'Scenario' is used.TargetDimensionName—The name of the target dimension. In this example, 'Scenario' is used.TargetDimensionDescription—The description of the target dimension. In this example, 'Scenario Dimension' is used.destApplicationName—The name of the destination application. In this example, 'PlanBud' is used.

Note: You cannot copy a dimension directly from one application to another.

5 . Use the following syntax to add an existing dimension from the Shared Library to the specified application, and press Enter after each line item:

SET APPLICATION = 'PlanBud';Include Dimension Properties(DimensionName, IncludeAsShared) Values('C_Alias', 'true');

DimensionName—The name of an existing dimension in the Shared Library. In this example, 'C_Alias' is used.IncludeAsShared—Use a value of true to include the dimension as a shared dimension. Use a value of false to include a local copy of the dimension within the application.

The dimension can be added as a shared dimension or copied to the application as a local dimension.Note: You must set the application name before the Include Dimension command. By setting the application name, command lines use it if the application is not explicitly defined within a command.

6 . Use the following syntax to insert a copy of a member as a shared member within an application, and press Enter after each line item:

SET APPLICATION = 'PlanBud';Insert Member Properties(DimensionName, ParentName, InsertMemberName, MemberToInsertName) Values('Account', 'Par1', ‘Mem1’, ‘Mem2’);

DimensionName—The name of an existing dimension. In this example, 'Account' is used.ParentName—Name of the parent to insert the member under. In this example, 'Par' is used.InsertMemberName—Name of the member to insert the member under. In this example, 'Mem1' is used.MemberToInsertName—Name of the shared member to be inserted. In this example, 'Mem2' is used.

You can use the Insert Member command only on local dimensions and Shared Library dimensions. You cannot insert members in a shared dimension within an application.Note: You must set the application name before the In command. By setting the application name, command lines use it if the application is not explicitly defined within a command. Alternatively, you can set the application name to #Shared if you are copying a member from Shared Library.

Deploying Planning Applications

After creating the shell and adding dimensions and members, you deploy the application to make it accessible in Workspace. To deploy Planning applications, you must be provisioned with the Application Creator or Planning Administrator role.

1 . Deploy a Planning application with the following syntax, and press Enter:Execute Deploy Parameters(ApplicationName, InstanceName, ApplicationServer, HubProject, waitforcompletion, dataSourceName, CreateOutline) Values('PlanBud', 'PLANNING', 'PLANNING', 'Default Application Group', 'true', 'ST01PLN3', 'true');

ApplicationName—The name of an existing application. In this example, 'PlanBud' is used.InstanceName—The name of the instance to deploy to. In this example, 'PLANNING' is used.ApplicationServer—The name of the application server to deploy to. In this example, 'PLANNING' is used.HubProject—The Shared Services project to add the deployed application to. In this example, 'Default Application Group' is used.WaitForCompletion—If set to true, Batch Client waits for the job to finish. If set to false, Batch Client submits the job and continues. Allowed values are: True or FalsedatasourceName—Creates a data source with the specified name. In this example, 'ST01PLN3' is used.CreateOutline—Creates the Essbase outline if you are deploying the application for the first time. Allowed values are True or False.

Integrating Oracle® Internet Directory and Hyperion® Shared Services 11.1.2PrerequisitesBefore starting this tutorial, you should:

1 . Have administrator access to a working installation of Shared Services.2 . Have administrator access to a working installation of Oracle Internet Directory.

Configuring Oracle Internet Directory in Shared Services

Adding New User DirectoriesYou must log on to Shared Services using an administrator account to perform the following steps. To add new user directories:

1 . Log on to Shared Services.2 . Select Administration, and then Configure User Directories.

The Defined User Directories page is displayed.

3 . Click New.

4 . Under Directory Type, select Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

5 . Click Next.

Setting the Connection Information

The Connection Information page contains the information used to connect to the directory server. To set the connection information:

1 . In the Directory Server drop-down list, select Oracle Internet Directory.

2 . Enter a name for the connection.

The connection name is used to identify a specific user directory if multiple user directories are configured.3 . Enter a host name.

4 . Enter the OID port number.

The default port number for Oracle Internet Directory is 389. In this example, a custom port is used.5 . Optional: Select SSL Enabled if the user directory is configured for secure communication.

In this example, SSL is not enabled.6 . Click Fetch DNs.

You can also enter the Base Distinguished Name (DN).7 . Accept the default value for the ID attribute.

8 . In the Maximum Size text box, enter the maximum number of results that a search can return.

9 . Select Trusted if this provider is a trusted single sign-on (SSO) source.

SSO tokens from trusted sources do not contain the user's password.10 . Ensure that Anonymous Bind is not selected.

11 . Enter the User DN and password.

12 . Optional: Select Append Base DN if you want to append the Base DN to the User DN.

13 . Click Next.

Setting Properties for the User URL

Shared Services uses the properties set on the User Configuration page to create a user URL for determining the starting node for user searches. The URL speeds the search.Note: The user URL should not point to an alias. Enterprise Performance Management System security requires that the user URL points to an actual user.With OID, you cannot automatically configure the user filter, because the root Directory System Agent Specific-Entry (DSE) of OID does not contain entries in the Naming Contexts attribute.To set the properties for the user URL:

1 . Optional: Enter a unique user identifier and click Auto Configure.

If you choose to auto configure, the values for the succeeding text boxes will be filled in for you.2 . Enter a user RDN.

Each DN component is called a relative distinguished name (RDN) and represents a branch in the directory tree. The RDN of a user is generally the equivalent of the user ID (uID) or common name (cn).

3 . Enter a login attribute.

The login attribute stores the user's login name. You use the login attribute as the user name when you log on to EPM System products. Note: If you are configuring OID as an external user directory for EPM System products deployed on Oracle Application Server in a Kerberos environment, you must set this property to userPrincipalName.

4 . Enter a first name attribute.

This attribute stores the user's first name.5 . Enter a last name attribute.

This attribute stores the user's last name.6 . Optional: Enter an email attribute.

This attribute stores the user's e-mail address.7 . Enter an object class name, and click Add.

Shared Services uses the object classes (the mandatory and optional attributes associated with the user) listed on this page to locate users who should be provisioned.

8 . Click Next.

Setting Group Properties

Shared Services uses the properties set on the Group Configuration page to create the group URL for determining the starting node for group searches. The URL speeds the search.Note: The Group URL should not point to an alias. EPM System security requires that the group URL point to an actual group. Data entry on the Group Configuration page is optional. If you do not enter the group URL settings, Shared Services searches within the Base DN to locate groups. The search can negatively affect performance, especially if the user directory contains many groups.With OID, you cannot use the autoconfigure feature, because the root DSE of OID does not contain entries in the Naming Contexts attribute.To set group properties:

1 . If you do not plan to provision groups or if users are not categorized into groups on the user directory, clear Support Groups and skip to step 5. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

Clearing this option disables the fields on this page. 2 . Optional: Enter a unique group identifier and click Auto Configure.

f you choose to auto configure, the values for the succeeding text boxes will be filled in for you.3 . Enter a group RDN.

The Group RDN has a significant impact on login and search performance. Because it is the starting point for all group searches, you must identify the lowest possible node in which all groups for EPM System products are available.For optimum performance, ensure that the number of groups present within the group RDN do not exceed 10,000. If more groups are present, use a group filter to retrieve only the groups that you want to provision.

4 . Enter a name attribute.

This attribute stores the name of the group.5 . Enter an object class name, and click Add.

Shared Services uses the object classes (the mandatory and optional attributes) listed on this page to locate groups that should be provisioned.6 . Click Save. 7 . When the following status message is displayed, click OK.

The Oracle Internet Directory that you added is displayed on the Provider Configuration tab on the Defined User Directories page.

8 . Select File, and then Logout.

9 . Restart services.

Testing the OID Connection

You must log on Shared Services using an administrator account to perform the following steps. To test the OID connection in Shared Services:

1 . Log on to Shared Services.2 . Select Administration, and then Configure User Directories.

The Defined User Directories page is displayed.

3 . Ensure that the OID directory is selected, and click Test.

When the connection test is successful, the following status message is displayed:

If the connection test failed, proceed to the next topic to edit directory settings.4 . When the following message is displayed, click Save.

5 . Click OK.

Editing Directory SettingsYou must log on to Shared Services using an administrator account to perform the following steps.To edit directory settings in Shared Services:

1 . In Shared Services, select Administration, and then Configure User Directories.

The Defined User Directories page is displayed.2 . Select the Oracle Internet Directory that you want to modify and click Edit.

Copying Source Artifacts to the Destination EnvironmentThe source environment application artifacts that exist on the file system must be moved to the destination environment file system. You can accomplish this task by copying and pasting the artifacts, sending them through FTP, or burning them to a DVD.The default file system location for the exported artifacts is:[Middleware Home]\user_projects\epmsystem1\import_export\[admin_user]@Native DirectoryIn this topic, you compress the source artifact directory, copy it to the destination environment, and extract the file system folders. To copy source artifacts to the destination environment:

1. Navigate to the following directory:[Middleware Home]\user_projects\epmsystem1\import_export\[admin_user]@Native DirectoryIn this example, you navigate to C:\oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\import_export\admin@Native Directory.

The exported file system folders are displayed.2. Navigate two levels up, and copy or compress the import_export directory.

In this example, the import_export directory is compressed with 7-zip.

Typically, in new environments, the import_export directories do not exist until you run a migration.3. In the destination environment, navigate to [Middleware Home]\user_projects\epmsystem1.

Notice that the import_export directory does not exist.4. Copy and extract the compressed file.

5. Open the import_export and [admin_user]@Native Directory folders.

6. Verify that the exported file system folders were extracted in the [Middleware Home]\user_projects\epmsystem1\import_export\[admin_user]@Native Directory directory of the destination environment.

Importing Planning Applications from the File System into the Destination EnvironmentYou exported the Planning application artifacts from the source environment to the file system and you copied the artifacts to the destination environment file system. In this topic, you run the Lifecycle Management migration in the destination environment. Importing Guidelines:
