Consolidation V12. Consolidation Engine scripts

Llorenç Tomas

Hi, we'd like to know about the best practices for creating new processes (rules) on consolidation module in 'd/Epm Business Applications'

The repository 'd/Epm Business Applications' is not being showed when entering in Application Engine, we only see the 'd/Epm Business Applications - Designer', we'd like to know is this one which contains the standard consolidation Engine scripts used in 'd/Epm Business Applications'

Thanks in advance,

Kind Regards,

John Robson

You can't add custom app engine process in the d/EPM Application.

You should instead create a new application e.g. Fincon_Custom and create your custom processes there.

In case you aren't aware any custom process should have the following parameters. I created a dummy one just to test registering them.

#define EngineVersion 5.0
#define RuntimeVersion 5.0

bool FinConDummy1(string server, string cycle, string year, string period, string scenario, string group, string ruleid, bool cancel)
@Description: "A dummy process that does nothing by design.";
@Category: "FinCon Test";
@Parameter[server]: "OLAP Data Connection Name";
@Parameter[cycle]: "the Configuration set element to run the rule for";
@Parameter[year]: "the year to run the rule for";
@Parameter[period]: "the period to run the rule for";
@Parameter[scenario]: "the scenario to run the rule for";
@Parameter[group]: "the group to run the rule for";
@Parameter[ruleid]: "the id that will be used for journals";
@Parameter[cancel]: "if True, the rule will only cancel its journals or other old data";
@Returns: "True, if successful; False otherwise.";
