Hyperion Data Relationship Management


 

Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management (DRM) is an enterprise change management solution for building and retaining consistency within master data assets despite endless changes necessary to support underlying transactional and analytical systems.

As companies grow and evolve, it becomes essential to manage master data across information silos that result from mergers and acquisitions, departmental initiatives, or legacy system proliferation. Data consistency, integrity, quality and accuracy suffer and no one trusts the information and insight that ensues. Hyperion DRM provides the industry's first data model-agnostic master data management solution built to enable financial and analytical master data management in dynamic, fast-changing business environments.

Financial MDM
Create an enterprise view of financial chart of accounts, cost centers and legal entities with a view to govern on-going financial management and consolidation based on consistent definitions of financial and reporting structures across general ledger systems, financial consolidation, planning and budgeting systems.

Analytical MDM
Create an enterprise view of analytical dimensions, reporting structures, performance measures and their related attributes and hierarchies using Hyperion DRM's data model-agnostic foundation. Construct departmental perspectives that bear referential integrity and consistency with master data constructs based on validations and business rules that enforce enterprise governance policies. Synchronize master data with downstream systems including BI/EPM systems, data warehouses and data marts to gain trustworthy insight.

What's New


Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management, Fusion Edition V.11.1.2.1 Release Highlights

  • Web 2.0 Interface: A new Web client provides access to the complete feature set of a Data Relationship Management application through a Web browser. It combines the functionality previously available in the desktop client and the Web Publishing casual user client into a Web 2.0 rich Internet applications experience. Presentation of data and access to features has been enriched to improve ease of use without compromising the power user experience of a desktop client.
  • Unicode Support: Unicode support allows the use of multi-byte character sets (MBCS) to handle multiple languages at the same time. Unicode support is available for user-defined metadata and data. Internationalization of date and float data types based on a user's locale is also included.
  • Role-based Security: Role-based security controls access to data and Data Relationship Management features. Multiple roles can be assigned to a user, allowing them to perform certain higher-level functions without giving them complete higher-level access. Security administration is now segregated from metadata administration to align with corporate policies that require this level of separation of duties. A new anonymous user role has been added to create tailored "read-only" views for different segments of casual business user audiences.
  • Multiple Applications, Single Server: Separate Data Relationship Management applications can operate on the same server to enable customers to physically segregate and independently manage different instances without requiring additional hardware or virtualization software. Different business groups are able to administer the metadata and data within their own applications without any impact to any other application.
  • External Connections: Administrators can set up common connections to external network resources that can be shared by all users. Imports and exports can directly access external connections instead of requiring a manual upload/download by a user. Centralized management of connections helps minimize maintenance of connectivity to network resources, particularly for migration scenarios across environments.
  • Coarse-grain Services:  A new Java web service API provides improved interoperability with other Oracle Middleware and third-party Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) applications. Policy management and message protection are now available using Oracle Web Services Manager. 
  • Single Sign On: Data Relationship Management supports single sign-on using Oracle Access Manager.  Single sign-on is available through the Data Relationship Management web user interface and web service API.
  • 64-bit Support: 64-bit support is available for the web and application servers for Data Relationship Management. This includes certification for 64-bit Windows operating systems as well as increased memory addressability on the application server.
  • Workflow Development Kit: The Workflow Development Kit (WDK) enables the extended business user community to participate in master data governance processes via human workflows that allow them to create, modify, and approve changes prior to being applied to production data. The WDK provides a flexible, standards-based foundation to assist with the creation and deployment of a workflow-oriented solution built on Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g. The 11.1.2 release offers improved reusability and easy customization of components to meet customer-specific requirements.
