Preparing to Use Batch Client

To prepare to create applications, perform the following steps:

1.	View the script that you want to use to create test Planning applications. You must verify that the script is complete and uses the correct syntax.
2.	Log on to Workspace.
3.	Select Administer > Application Library to display Application Library.
4.	In Application Library, view existing Performance Management Architect applications. In this case, only one Planning application is displayed.

Creating Applications

To create applications, perform the following steps:

1.	Open a command prompt, and change the directory to C:\Hyperion\products\Foundation\BPMA\EPMABatchClient. This is the default directory for Batch Client. For more information on how to create Batch Client scripts, refer to the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect, Fusion Edition 11.1.1, Batch Client User's Guide.
2.	Enter the create application creation command and execute the application creation script. In this case, the script was validated and the application was successfully created.
3.	Check the EPMABatchClientResults log file to verify that the application was successfully created. The file is located in the default directory, C:\Hyperion\products\Foundation\BPMA\EPMABatchClient\output.
4.	Verify that the application appears in Application Library. In this case, the PLAN3 Planning application is now displayed.

Deploying Applications

To deploy applications, perform the following steps:

1.	View the script that you want to use to deploy applications. You must verify that the script is complete and uses the correct syntax. In this case, you will deploy the PLAN3 Planning application. For more information on how to create Batch Client scripts, refer to the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect, Fusion Edition 11.1.1, Batch Client User's Guide.
2.	Open a command prompt, enter the deploy application command, and execute the deploy application script. In this case, the script was validated and the application was successfully deployed.
3.	Check the EPMABatchClientResults log file to verify that the application was successfully deployed. The file is located in the default directory, C:\Hyperion\products\Foundation\BPMA\EPMABatchClient\output.
4.	In Workspace, select Navigate > Administer > Library Job Console.
5.	In Library Job Console, verify that the application was successfully deployed.
6.	In Application Library, verify that the application is now deployed.
7.	Select Applications > Planning > [Planning Application] to verify that the Planning application is now available for testing.
