21

Technical Outlines of Implementation

User Interface (ASP.Net)

System.DirectoryService – MSAD authentication

Database tables

– access control

– process control

– request information retention

22

Technical Outlines of Implementation

Process Control (Perl script)

A process to control over-all end to end process

A service to check the completion of the FDM processes

A service to start scheduled processes and processes under “On hold” mode with conflict detection

Error handling and centralization

Email notification

Technical Outlines of Implementation

Data Extraction (HFM API) – Connect to application

HsxClient.SetLogonInfo

HsxClient.OpenApplication

– Get entity list- For specifically defined entity list

IhsvTreeInfo.EnumMemberLists - to get all predefined member lists

IhsvTreeInfo.EnumMembers2 - to get all members for a specific list

-         - For all entities

IhsvTreeInfo.EnumBaseMemberIDs - to get all base members under “segment”

– Get periodic actual data HsvCalculate.ChartLogic2 - to trigger customized calculation script to

calculate and copy data to PeriodicActual scenario

24

Technical Outlines of Implementation

Data Extraction (HFM API)

– Get other meta dataIhsvTreeInfo.EnumBaseMemberIDs - to get the base members for other dimensions,

such as account

Set IhsvLoadExtractOption = HsvcDataLoad. ExtractOptions.Item(HSV_DATAEXTRACT_OPT_ACCOUNT_SUBSET)

IhsvLoadExtractOption.CurrentValue => account list

– Data extraction

HsvcDataLoad.Extract
