As an EPM Administrator or Implementation Specialist, we have all had that moment when someone comes to us and asks for the dreaded extract out of an Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) application.  Depending on the system combination (Hyperion Financial Management (HFM), Planning, etc.) and the file layout specifications, this can be tricky.  Layer in the concept of a Cloud application, and things have now gotten real!

In an on-premise installation of Financial Data Quality Management Enterprise Edition (FDMEE), we could use scripting within a “custom application” to build an end-to-end approach for delivering a flat-file extract for third party consumption.  With the release of version 19.06, Oracle has further enhanced this concept and brought it to Cloud Data Management (CDM). The Cloud application now provides the ability to design and produce a text file for downstream consumption in Oracle Cloud products (PCMCS, EPBCS, FCCS).
