From which two locations can you export data files?

When exporting data from Oracle Planning, the system provides two primary destination options for the generated data file. The user can choose to download the file directly to their Local computer for immediate access. Alternatively, the user can save the file to the Outbox, which is a designated folder on the EPM Cloud server. Storing the file in the Outbox is useful for scheduled jobs or for retrieval by other automated processes, such as EPM Automate, or for later download through the application's file browser.

A. Repository: The Repository is used for storing application artifacts and metadata snapshots (backups), not for transactional data export files.
D. Workspace: The Workspace is the primary user interface for navigating and interacting with the application; it is not a file storage location for data exports.

1. Oracle Cloud

Administering Planning

"Exporting Data" section.

In the chapter "Managing Jobs

" the description for the "Export Data" job type states: "You can download the export file from the Job Details page

or from the Outbox/Inbox Explorer." This explicitly confirms the ability to download locally and to use the Outbox.

2. Oracle Cloud

Administering Data Management for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud

"Exporting Data" section.

When defining a data export in Data Management

the process generates a file. The documentation on running export jobs notes that the resulting file is placed in the outbox/exports directory. The user can then navigate to this location to download the file.

3. Oracle Cloud

Working with EPM Automate for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud

"exportdata" command.

The documentation for the exportdata command specifies that it "exports data from a Planning business process to a file and saves it to the default download location

" which is the Outbox. A separate downloadfile command is then used to transfer this file to a local directory. This workflow confirms the Outbox as the server-side location and Local as the end-user destination.
