Implementation Experience (R12.1.3+) – On-Premise
Configuration [Step #2]
 Preparation Steps
 Acquire / stage FAHRCS Certificates for import into EBS (Web) Tier.
 Modify “on-prem” oc4j.properties to remove “proxy”* references.
 Configuration Steps
 Import Certificate(s) into your EBS Keystore.
 Validate presence of FAHRCS certificate(s) in the EBS Keystore.
 Apply Patches (2 required, 2 developed based on our experiences).
 Restart EBS.

Implementation Experience (contd) (R12.1.3+) – On-Premise
Configuration [Step #2]
 Initial Transfer Balances

 Configure Data Security for Cloud Reporting Users in FAHRCS
 Schedule Transfer based on Business Requirements
 Install Client Software

Realized Benefits
Financial Reporting Center provides the following components:
1. Financial Reporting Studio

 Design reports using object-oriented graphical report layout with
report objects, text boxes, grids, images, charts etc.
2. Smart View
 Download reports and/or create quick reports in an excel
spreadsheet with real time data to perform adhoc analysis
 Drill down balances to all levels to EBS transactions

Realized Benefits (contd)
3. Financial Reporting
 Drill down balances to all levels – Parents to other parents, detail balances,
journal lines, sub-ledger transactions
 PDF, Excel, HTML
4. Account Monitor & Account Inspector
 Monitor and Track account balances at every level of dimensions and
hierarchies
5. Work Space
 Create folders and organize reports

Words of Wisdom
 Firefox worked better than IE, Chrome
 Configure correct hierarchies before initial transfer to EBS
 Configure and monitor Fusion Hub email notifications
 Maintain compatible versions of Client Software:
Smart View
FRS (Financial Reporting Studio)
ADFDi (Application Developer Framework Desktop Integration)
Test thoroughly after each upgrade
 Have Implementation Success Manager

Our Next Steps…
The following additional features/functions are scheduled to be completed this year:
 Consolidated Statements within EBS ledgers
 Corporate Consolidated statements with EBS and non-EBS Ledgers
 Automated Elimination Entries using Calculation Manager
 Cash Flow Statements using Smart View
