This document discusses the migration from FDM to FDMEE. FDMEE combines FDM and ERP Integrator into a single product. It provides improvements like simplified maintenance, reduced custom scripting needs, and certification with additional ERP systems. Migrating to FDMEE will require rewriting scripts and taking advantage of new capabilities. The document reviews FDMEE's key components and migration considerations to help customers understand the value of upgrading.

Financial Data Quality Management-Enterprise Edition
Improvements in 11.1.2.4
•Can now specify target application options specific to a location
•Easily move data between the EPM applications irrespective of the
dimensionality of the application without having to create a data file from the
EPM source application
•Supports write-back from all EPM applications (except the Accounts
Reconciliation Manger) to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications
•Enables you to map source fields graphically to target dimension members

Upgrade Considerations
Benefits and Opportunities

Financial Data Quality Management-Enterprise Edition
•Classic FDM has some limitations that are now covered by FDMEE
•For example, when multi-dimensional mappings were needed, most of
the people used mapping scripts
-Difficult to maintain and understand
-Black Box
-Upgrade Considerations (Understatement of the year)
-New mapping type will probably replace all your mapping scripts
-In addition, you can use look-up dimensions in FDMEE to support
your multi-dimensional mappings
•In FDMEE, we have a new mapping type called Multi-Dimensional
mapping

Financial Data Quality Management-Enterprise Edition
•Classic FDM required separately maintained locations to enforce
even slightly different mapping schemas or sources
–The more locations you have, the more you will have to maintain
–Data load rules allow you to simplify your location structure. Two locations
for two different file types may be replaced by one location and two data
load rules having each one import format
–Can share related mapping further reducing maintenance
•Import process is almost always the bottle neck in Classic FDM
–Mapping process is performed during the import process and 90% of the
customers having performance issues during import follow this rule: Wrong
mapping logic design -> poor performance during import
–Better performance with large data sets
–Redesigning your artifacts will improve maintenance efforts and workflow

Financial Data Quality Management-Enterprise Edition
•You will have to re-write your scripts (import, mapping, event, and
custom)
–Even if you keep VB for event and custom scripts, you will have to do some
changes as VB Script is replaced by VB .NET
–Event and custom scripts are best written in Jython
• Integration scripts are not supported anymore as import scripts so they need to be
implemented in BefImport event script (Jython or VB .NET)
• VB mapping scripts are not supported anymore so you will have to re-write them as
Jython or SQL mapping scripts (or replace by multi-dimensional mappings)
•Opportunity to take advantage of process improvements

–Direct Feed from ledger example

FDMEE Supported Target EPM Platforms
•FDMEE supports the following EPM target applications (Oracle
Hyperion EPM Architect and Classic):
–Planning and the Planning Modules
–Public Sector Planning and Budgeting
–Financial Management
–Financial Close Management (ARM, SDM)
–Profitability and Cost Management (HPCM) and Tax Provision
–Essbase BSO and ASO
• If Essbase has been deployed in standalone mode, it must be registered with
Shared Services since it does not work directly with FDMEE
–Planning applications that rely on the standalone Essbase application
cannot work directly with FDMEE

FDMEE is now directly linked to Sources
•FDMEE Is now directly linked to sources – regardless of type
•Focuses on workflow with artifacts used to support it
– Define the Data/Metadata Source
– Define the Target Application
– Define the Source Accounting Entity
•11.1.2.4 Considerations
– Supports write back from all EPM applications
– Doesn’t require data files to transfer between EPM applications
– Supports the Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management (HPCM) and Tax Provision
Application

FDMEE is now directly linked to Sources
• Data can be pulled from multiple types of sources
• Adaptors no longer need to be downloaded as several are integrated within
FDMEE
• Of course, importing from flat files and other types are available along with
other EPM applications (think Planning to HFM, for example)
• These sources can be used for loading and drill through, allowing destination
applications to have a link back to the data details contained within the
source system

FDMEE is now directly linked to Sources
• Target application and types (HFM, Planning, Essbase) are also easily
identified along with their necessary components for mapping purposes
• Available fields of the application are brought in for both the source and target
systems, thus allowing ease of mapping
• No need to configure multiple adaptors

Process Elements
•After the source systems have been identified, the following items are
identified:
• The ledger or business unit (accounting entity) to use
• The Chart of Accounts
• Currency
• Calendar
• Responsibility name

FDMEE Next Steps
Takeaways and Actions
25. Emtec, Inc. Proprietary & Confidential. All rights reserved 2015.
What You Should Remember About FDMEE
25
• While loading data, load options can be specified for differently for each location
One location should be loaded as replace whereas another one is used for
supplemental data and should be loaded as merge (think GL vs stat data)
• During the data loading process, mappings errors can be corrected directly without
having to jump out to other screens, update mappings then go back and re-import
• Simplify the loading process as import scripts aren’t needed = process
improvements. Features within the product are quicker than the tool having to go out
to run scripts
• Everything happens in the database layer: faster without clunky file structures, and
the dirty looks you get during your security audit

What You Should Remember About FDMEE
26
•Ability to load from one application to another (with drill back feature), think HFM
to Planning with links back to Planning drivers; Essbase to HFM with links back
to detailed analysis
•Adaptors are no longer needed
•All security handled through Shared Services. Backups and transfers between
environments go through Shared Services’ Life Cycle Management
