Step by step Process of invoking Calculation script in FDMEE.
I defined two calculation scripts.
1. DATACOPY command to copy data from Aug to Sep data.

2. Another calculation script in Essbas to clear data for certain intersection.

Source system: File

Target Application: Sample-Basic

This was my source file.

1.In First step we login to workspace and open FDMEE Environment.

Navigate >Administer > Data Management

2.Go to setup Tab Register Source system.

Setup > Register > source system

Here you can see File (source system) is registered already.


If you want to register any other source simply click on Green plus icon and you can add here
new source system.

Fill details as explained above. like Script name cpyPer & calclear, select script scope I selected
category & Data Rule and value of category as actual & name of data load rule in scope Entity.
