Data transformation tool for the EPM suite
Windows & VBScript based application
End user driven with little to no IT involvement
Primary mechanism used when loading data to HFM, less of an adoption rate with Essbase / Planning
11.1.2.3 is the terminal release of FDM Classic
Support will continue per the Oracle Lifetime Support Policy ● http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-
applications-069216.pdf
● 11.1.2.x Extended Support ends April 2018*
FDM Classic

Combination of FDM Classic and ERP
Integrator (ERPi)
Utilizes Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) to manage
the data extraction and transformation process
Integrated into Workspace
● Utilizes Jython and VB.Net for scripting
Primarily an end user tool but requires more IT
support than FDM Classic
FDM Enterprise Edition (FDMEE)
![Page 8: FDM to ERPi– Upgrade & Migration Strategies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020712/54151b898d7f72536c8b481e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

ODI Adaptor that pulls data from the
AIF_OPEN_INTERFACE table
Data needs to be populated in the ODI
repository from the source system
● Adaptor does not provide this mechanism
● Need to modify the ODI project* or use another
process
30 fields / dimensions, 13 attributes, YTD and
Periodic value fields
Open Interface Adaptor
![Page 16: FDM to ERPi– Upgrade & Migration Strategies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020712/54151b898d7f72536c8b481e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Supports delimited & fixed width flat file formats
Includes FDM Classic functionality: ● Non-numeric Signage
● European to US Notation
● Padding
● Factoring
● NZP
● Expression Stacking
Does not require ODI to be installed if only using flat file integration
Flat File Integration

![Page 19: FDM to ERPi– Upgrade & Migration Strategies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020712/54151b898d7f72536c8b481e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hierarchy from source system is the hierarchy loaded to the EPM system ● Supports Classic and EPMA enabled applications
FDMEE sets some of the required properties but not all
If a property was originally set by FDMEE and you change the property in the EPM application, the property is overridden in the next integration
Hierarchies are merged ● FDMEE never deletes hierarchies or members
● Unspecified members/hierarchies are ignored ● In EPMA, can create in Shared library as orphans
Metadata Integration
![Page 20: FDM to ERPi– Upgrade & Migration Strategies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020712/54151b898d7f72536c8b481e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Budget/Forecast data can be written back from
Planning, Essbase ASO or BSO 11.1.2.x
● No available for EPMA enabled ASO
Oracle E-Business Suite or PeopleSoft
Enterprise Financial Management
● EBS can post to budget with or without journals
Allocations are not supported
Budget Write Back
![Page 21: FDM to ERPi– Upgrade & Migration Strategies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020712/54151b898d7f72536c8b481e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Workspace Integration
● Multiple browsers
● More Operating Systems*
Lifecycle Management
Scalability / Data volumes
Security Groups
Even more robust mapping
FDMEE Benefits
![Page 22: FDM to ERPi– Upgrade & Migration Strategies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020712/54151b898d7f72536c8b481e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Security concept is similar to FDM Classic
● Define user types/profiles
● Apply security to objects to enable user type access
Groups officially supported!
Security by location allows groups to be
automatically created when a new location is
added
Security design should be considered during
application design
FDMEE Security
![Page 23: FDM to ERPi– Upgrade & Migration Strategies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020712/54151b898d7f72536c8b481e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Define User Type ● Data Loader
● Data Mapper
● Reporting / View Only
Define Security Groups - FDMEE ● FDMEE_Location_DL
● FDMEE_Location_DM
● FDMEE_Location_VO
Assign Security Roles to Groups ● FDMEE_Location_DL Run Integration, Intermediate 5
Optional: Define Groups of Groups - HSS ● FDMEE_Europe_VO
Provision Users to Security or GOG - HSS
Example Security Design Approach

Same options as FDM Classic: ● Explicit, Between, In, Like
● Same processing order ● Dimensions
● Map Types
Additional option type of Multidimensional ● Similar to Cross Dimensional / varValue mapping
● Far more efficient than FDM Classic
● Supports wildcard maps across multiple dimensions
More wildcarding options ● <x>
● <Blank>
Ability to associate mapping rule to a specific data load rule
FDMEE Mapping
![Page 25: FDM to ERPi– Upgrade & Migration Strategies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020712/54151b898d7f72536c8b481e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Allow 2 or more dimension values to be
interrogated to determine the current dimension
mapped/target value
● Example: If Account begins with 5 and Cost Center
is between 10520 and 10589
Only supports source dimension members
● Utilize mapping scripts to access target members
FDMEE MultiDimensional Maps
![Page 27: FDM to ERPi– Upgrade & Migration Strategies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020712/54151b898d7f72536c8b481e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
No more active reports! ● Utilizes BI Publisher
Several key reports migrated to FDMEE
Same general process to create report ● Define query
● Export query definition to XML and import into word doc
● Use BI Publisher to generate layout ● Leverage Word functionality like tables, headings
● Associate query to layout/template
FDMEE Reports

How much scripting does your current
application include?
Are you integrating with Essbase?
Do you have any of the supported source
systems in house?
How important is historical drill through?
How risk adverse is your organization?
Do you have or are planning to deploy the
Account Reconciliation Manager (ARM)?
