PerformancePoint Server » Blog Archive » What are the predefined job templates available?

This site contains a great walkthrough of the various options in PerformancePoint.

Jobs are the automated tasks that your system would perform without any user interaction. In most cases, the jobs are created within a cycle, but they can also exit independently. In the Planning Business Modeler, many job templates are available that you can use to define jobs or create custom jobs. Using these templates, you can speed up your work of creating assignment, job definition and completion.

The predefined job templates available are:

Calculations rule jobs: Users with the modeler role create job templates for the Business users so that they can run a specific job. This is done since Business Users do not have the permission to run rules or rule sets. Now Business Users can make use of this created job template to run specific rules and rule set. 

Consolidation jobs: This job template is designed to convert currency by using the currency conversion model, eliminate holding company investments and subsidiary equity, purge intercompany balances and also calculate financial data.

Data Export jobs: This job template is used to export data to an external database. This job can only be started from PerformancePoint Add-in for Excel. 

Data Movement Jobs: This job template is used to move data within a model or in between models. This can also be started from the PerformancePoint Add-in for Excel. 

Opening Balance jobs: This template is used to calculate the rules of the opening balance using one of the Chart Logic rules. 

Data Load jobs: This is used to synchronize data with staging database, or loaded to application database. 

Currency translation jobs: This is used to perform the currency translation job that is based on exchange rate data. 

Intercompany reconciliation job: This is used to convert currency from source currency to the reporting currency. It also adjusts data in the defined rule or rule sets. 

Shares Calculations jobs: This is used to run any particular rule or rule set.
