Oracle Business Intelligence Foundation Suite 11g Essentials — Question 1

What is the primary purpose of Extended Analytics in FM?

Answer options

• A. Exports Financial Management metadata and data to an Essbase database
• B. Exports Financial Management metadata and data to a relational database
• C. Exports Financial Management metadata and data to an Excel pivot table
• D. Provides analytic capabilities directly against the Financial Management application

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as Extended Analytics is designed to export Financial Management metadata and data specifically to an Essbase database for advanced analysis. Options B and C suggest exporting to different types of databases, which is not the primary function of Extended Analytics, and option D indicates providing analytic capabilities, but not the specific export functionality that is the focus of Extended Analytics.
