The guide explains five major registration categories: EPM Local for same-instance Cloud EPM integrations EPM Cloud for integrations with another Cloud EPM service instance Data Source for ERP, HCM, NetSuite, file, and database sources Data Export for exporting EPM data to a file or supported destination Dimensions for metadata loads by dimension class or type A common implementation mistake is selecting a category based only on the technology name. The category should be selected according to the actual business flow. Before production use, validate the application details, connection, cube selection, dimension classifications, staging-column names, and naming conventions. A controlled smoke test should be followed by row-count and total reconc...
