After validation, the next task is to deploy the application. All the while during the application creation process, we have defined dimensions and set properties and even validated the Planning Application.

When we are using EPMA for creating Hyperion Planning we are actually defining the metadata required for creating the Planning application, not the application itself. As a part of the deployment process, EPMA uses this metadata to create a Hyperion Planning...
