FDMEE Introduction: Oracle FDMEE is designed to integrate Enterprise Resource Planning

(ERP) systems with Oracle's Hyperion EPM applications. The beauty of FDMEE is lies in ease of access with other Oracle EPM tools using common workspace. FDMEE intuitive interface with underlying engine as Oracle Data Integrator makes it first choice among users. FDMEE sits on top of Oracle Data Integrator and orchestrates the movement of metadata and data into EPM applications. After releasing of 11.1.2.3 FDM and FDMEE united in one single product .FDMEE integrates FDM and ERPi with enhanced performance. FDMEE (Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition) is an enhanced version of FDM (Financial Data Quality Management) Overview FDMEE can integrate Data and Metadata across EPM and ERP applications or across EPM applications. FDMEE can also write back modified budget data to ERP. FDMEE Architecture

The underlying FDMEE architecture is similar to ETL fundamental process. Basically, FDMEE accommodate with three parts, first is ERP system from where we Extract data or metadata called source system it could be flat fl at file, Text files, PeopleSoft, Oracle, SAP, JD Edwards etc. Second is ODI Agent (Oracle data integrator), it is an integrator tool which follows the concept of ELT (Extraction, Load, Transformed), first data will be extracted from source system and then it loads data into target and the target system can be used as intermediate transformation. ODI and ERP’I both tools together perform integration. FDMEE takes place of FDM + ERP’i. However,

staging tables are used during intermediate transformation

FDM VS FDMEE 

FDMEE is the upgraded version of FDM with advanced features.



FDM was a standalone product therefore It doesn’t include workspace, whereas FDMEE is fully integrated with workspace.



FDMEE has underlying engine as ODI (Oracle data integrator) and it supports LCM (EPM Lifecycle Management) which is missing in FDM.



FDMEE supports multiple platforms and browsers.



FDM supports only VB Script whereas FDMEE FDMEE supports both Jython and and VB script.



Multicolumn filters FDMEE, missing in FDM.



Mapping into FDM was a complicated or cumbersome process where we have to browse for target value to find them out whereas in FDMEE it is much easier e asier because source and target on same screen.

FDMEE Value Added Features 

FDMEE contains all the features which we used in classic FDM.



FDMEE support HPCM (Hyperion Profitability and cost Management) for target application.



FDMEE supports HFM (Oracle Hyperion Financial Management) custom application (Tax provision).



Using FDMEE data synchronization, one can easily move data different EPM applications without creating intermediate data file. for example, synchronizing data enables you to move data from Financial Management to Oracle Essbase for reporting

FDMEE GUI Components User Interface of FDMEE



The interface of FDMEE remodel in a way that is exciting is exciting and impressive. and impressive.



FDMEE make us easy to work on it because we can obtain directly EPM workspace.



We have common workspace for HFM and planning.



Accessed through the same Workspace HFM and Planning are accessed.



The Fish still alive for determining our work progress.



Work bench and workflow are more customizable so many options are present for different view of data like we can see invalid records, ignored records etc.



We also have offline mode for execution in FDMEE.



Rule execution make easy to operate like One click for Import


Page 4



POV Locking present in FDMEE, by using POV lock we can apply lock for an individual location so that it helps to stop modifying data. We can only load data when POV is unlocked unlike older version as it was presented on application level which was difficult to manage.



Import format builder helps to provide graphical representation mapping of source and target dimension members.



In import format, the restriction of using max 5 segments while concatenating source dimensions for ERP segment, has been eliminated.



Duration of validating step in Data load Workbench with Fix maps option one can view the error by fixing them.

Getting started with FDMEE

Login to workspace and open data management


Page 5

Now select Navigate -

Administer -

Data Management

From there you will find Navigate N avigate Tab


Page 6

After click on Navigate, select Administer and

Data Management

After click on Data Management, you enter into FDMEE environment. This is the User interface OF FDMEE here we perform our task.


Page 7

Navigate

Navigate tab is the entrance of FDMEE it helps us to navigating FDMEE from oracle Hyperion Workspace from there we enter into Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition. Workspace: Workspace is used to access oracle Hyperion content like reporting and Analysis it

is an Web User interface Help: With this menu people can take online help from oracle technical support Knowledge

about FDMEE and, we can view current version on which we are working. Task Pane Options: once you clicked on Data management then you see task Pane option

which resides to the left of FDMEE if you want you can change its size. This provide choices to handle FDMEE and its features this contains two option one is Workflow and other is Setup tabs.


Page 8

Workflow: In Task Pane you can see workflow tab from here we perform our main objective

which is integrate data and metadata from ERP system (Source system) to EPM system (Target system) and also check data validation means verifying that all members should be mapped with valid Account you can also import and export data into source and target from here. Import represents load data from source system and in export we load the mapped members into target system. When we are done all the work from workflow, we find fish icon over there which indicates our status of each process which we have done so far. If Fish color is orange that means happy moment we success on that step else if fish color Gray, then it indicates failed process. In above diagram you can see it how it looks. Setup: With the help of setup tab user can setup all the things related to data like set source

and Target system for data loading, System settings we can create application folder define import format, all mapping, data load rule we discuss all these in detail so that we will find how these things works in FDMEE.


Page 9

System settings This option you will find under Configure here we choose path where we want

to create application root folder in my case path is after giving path click on create Application folders button once you clicked on that go to specified path where you can see three folders are created automatically named as data, inbox, outbox after seeing this return on FDMEE and click on save. Under these folders our Application artifacts going to be store. These folders will be created on given path(c:\FDMEE)


Page 10

Basically, here we are going to choose our source system from here we pull our source data and put into Target system in my case my source system is File you can view in dropdown Profile type  File, means we import data from File system. System settings required to be done only once. Setup --

Configure --

System Settings

If you are not able to view source system under dropdown than register it by going under Register --

Source System

If Your source is different from file than click on add button below you find option for adding source Here you can give all the details and select your source system type.

Application Settings:

In system setting we gave definition of source Application but in Application settings we give definition of Target Application. select our Target application where we want to load data here my Target system is Sample-Basic (Essbase cube) you can view in dropdown Target Application Application  Sample-Basic, means we import data from File system to

Sample-Basic cube.

Under Application settings my application should be register.in order to register our application should view in Target Application drop down if you can view your application than select it or otherwise you need to add target application form register  Target Application. Setup --

Configure --


Application Settings Application Settings

Page 12

If your Target is not present under dropdown than register it by going under Register --

Target System

You will view this window


Page 13

If Your Target is different from Sample-Basic than click on add button below you find option for adding Target system. Here you can give all the details and select your Target system type. And from Name select your cube name. Than provide name In Target Application Summary. In application details you can see all the details comes automatically related to dimension mapping this refers to staging table.

Integration Setup: integration setup is all about integration means how our data/metadata

integration accomplished via FDMEE to source system into Target system here we have options in integration setup like Import Format, Location, Period Mapping, Category Mapping, Excel Interface. Setup -

Page 14

Import Format: In import format we define how data will pull from source system and put into

staging table Now if you see your Import format in already in list like in my case my source is File and Target is Sample-Basic already present in list then select it. Setup -

Integration Setup

Import Format

If Import format not present in list than add it by click on add button you will have option below to add new import format fill all the details like Name of import format than source Type, Source File etc. File Type Delimited means your source file contains which type of delimiter in my case it is semi-colon. Click on save than need to define Mapping Type. www.bisptrainings.com www.bisptrainings.com

Here define Mapping based in your source File provide Source column name than Field Number of source

Location: Once we define Import Format define Location Here if location not available in list

than click on add button and fill related details. Setup -

Integration Setup

Location

To Specify new Location, give any name to Location provide Import Format Name which you gave in last step once you provide Import format system automatically fetch all other details related to source and Target. Then click on save. The save. The location combines related mapping and data load rules into a logical grouping.


Page 16

Period Mapping: suppose we want to load data for Jan 2016 so we can specify this into i nto Period

mapping. Period mapping is used to map source data(File) to Target dimension which is period dimension(Sample-Basic)) we can define mapping at different levels like Global, Application, dimension(Sample-Basic source system. Setup -

Integration Setup

Period Mapping

Category Mapping : If category exist under category list which you want to load into target

dimension than select it or otherwise create them. Setup -

For creating New click on add provide source system data to Target Scenario dimension member Define category mappings to map source system data to target Scenario dimension members

Excel Interface: Excel interface is a new feature in 11.1.2.4 version. This allows users to export

and import data to Excel and vice versa. FDMEE provides different artifacts to be exporting to excel. excel. Using the Excel Interface, you can easily download FDMEE metadata items to Excel for review. There’s a preset list of metadata items you can download, e.g. location detail and import format detail. You can also specify a table name from the FDMEE database database repository. The Excel Interface component also lets you upload metadata elements to FDMEE The Excel Interface Upload feature can greatly reduce an application rebuild. Key points of excel interface we need to Know. 

Data modification is not possible we can only insert data.



We are not able to verify verif y data.



FDMEE automatically skip those rows which are duplicate

Steps to Upload data Excel Interface -- File -Upload Enter name of excel file which you want to upload than click on upload. We can also select file from list We can also download file. Excel Interface -- download In order to download select Entity type -  file -click on select -Download


Page 19

Data Load: In this Part of FDMEE We will see process of Data Load and validation of data and

finally how we export data from ERP to EPM system

Data Loa Data Load Mapping : We use Data Load Mapping for map source dimension member to their

target Application Dimension member. We have Location, Period, Category set of Mappings for Data Load Mapping. For that we need to select for which member we want to load data like in my case I choose Product as a dimension than we have types of Mapping choose one of them then click on add then fill all details. We need to specify mapping for each dimension. Setup -

Data Load Rule: We need to create data Load rule for location and category to describe what we are going to import from ERP system. Workflow --

Data Load -

Data Load Rule

Basically, data load rule represents our file which we want to import with other details once we complete data load rule we need to save it so execute button enabled than click on it here Execute rule window will appear here we need to specify one or more periods. periods. Run it than you will see one process id has created than verify it by click on save

Batch: FDMEE providing batch scheduling from the web interface using batch processing we can use it to automate our data load as per our requirement like we can schedule batch to run hourly, weekly or month end close as per our business requirement. Setup - Batch -Batch Definition



We can make one batch which contains more than one load rule in a time.



FDMEE provide two types of mode to run batch it could be serial or parallel.



We need to give parameters of batch



We can also create one master batch which has more than one batches. For example, you can have one batch for metadata rules run in serial mode, and a second batch for the data rule run in parallel mode.



we can connect a batch into a batch group for security and flexibility.

Batch Definition: Batch definition contained batch jobs, parameters, type of rules in a batch,

one batch has one rule only and rule could be metadata, data, batch or open batch. Batch created by administrator. To add New Batch Definition. Setup -
