Automating Data and MetaData Loads with EPM Automate
EPM Automate is a utility that comes with the new Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) . PBCS is a hosted version of the Oracle Hyperion Planning and Data Management/Integration (FDMEE) tools with a particular focus on a completely online-based interface. When moving to Oracle PBCS you no longer have direct access to the Essbase server's operating system. Without access to the Essbase server we also lose access to the tool that is commonly used to automate a wide variety of administrative tasks, MaxL To address this, Oracle has developed a new utility named EMP Automate.
It uses secure HTTP connections to communicate with the PBCS Service instance. This utility enables Service Administrators to remotely perform and automate various administrative tasks. Administrators can create scripts that are capable of completing a wide array of tasks and automate their execution using Windows Scheduler. Some of the common tasks that administrators use EPM Automate for are:
- Import and export metadata and data
- Refresh the application
- Run business rules on data
- Copy data from one database to another
- Upload and manage files into service instances
- Run a Data Management batch rules
- Export and import application and artifact snapshots
