Creating an Allocate Job

This Job type triggers the allocation action within Hyperion FM. The three main groups of data allocation include allocating from one entity to many related entities, from one account to many related accounts and from one period to a range of periods.

  • POV

    • The point of view (POV) which contains at least Scenario, Year, Period, Entity and Value.

    Format: S#<SCENARIO>.Y#<YEAR>.P#<PERIOD>.E#<ENTITY>.V#<VALUE>

Job Status

The status of the Job is "ENDED_OK - ended normally" if the Allocate action returns 0. Otherwise it is "ENDED_NOT_OK".

Job Output

If the Allocate action returns 0, then "Execution of AllocationAction succeeded" appears in the report. Otherwise, an error message is posted to the report.

In the report, you can also see the passed options, which are provided from the Automic Web Interface.

Log messages from Hyperion Financial Data Management Enterprise Edition can only be correctly translated/displayed in the Job reports if they are either Latin-9 or UTF-16 encoded.
