Introduction
Overview
The TIBCO EBX® Add-on for Oracle Hyperion EPM facilitates management of financial data dimensions within your repository. You can leverage all TIBCO EBX® features for secure data governance, such as permission and version management (data space, data set), approval workflows, and audit-trails.
The EBX® Add-on for Oracle Hyperion EPM allows you to import and export data between your repository and any financial application (For Hyperion these are: HFM, Essbase and Planning). Configurations determine how dimensions in your repository map to financial application data during import and export.
Another key component to dimension management is comparing dimension versions. This process enables you to understand how a dimension has changed over time. You can use the add-on's 'Compare' service to accomplish this.
