Overview
Applications and projects are two important Shared Services concepts. An application is a
reference to a single instance of a Hyperion application that is registered with Shared Services.
The registration process makes Shared Services aware of the existence of the Hyperion
application. All provisioning activities are performed against an application.
In User Management Console, Hyperion applications are organized into projects. A project is
a container for applications. For example, a project may consist of a Reporting and Analysis
application and a Planning application. To provision users to an application, the application
must belong to a project.
This chapter contains information on creating and managing projects. It also provides
information on working with applications.
Working with Projects
A project is a container for Hyperion applications. For example, a project may contain a Planning
application and one or more Reporting and Analysis applications. An application can belong to
only one project.
Applications that are registered withShared Services but do not yet belong to a project are listed
under Unassigned Applications in User Management Console.
The applications that are registered with Shared Services but have not been assigned to a project
are listed under the Unassigned Applications node within User Management Console.
Applications assigned to a project are listed under the Projects node of User Management
Console.
An application can belong to only one project, but a project may contain multiple applications.
You can start the provisioning process only after applications are assigned to projects.
