Identify the three true statements about the Financial Management architecture. (Choose three.)

Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) utilizes a multi-tier enterprise architecture designed to deliver scalable financial consolidation and reporting capabilities. The architecture consists of three distinct functional tiers: the Client Tier, the Application Tier, and the Data Tier. The Client Tier provides end-user interfaces such as web browsers and Microsoft Office add-ins, which communicate exclusively with the Application Tier. The Application Tier houses HFM web servers, core application servers, and reporting services responsible for business logic, data consolidation, and rule execution. Finally, the Data Tier consists of a supported relational database management system that securely stores application metadata, security configurations, system tables, and transactional financial data.

Option B: The Client Tier communicates exclusively with the Application Tier; it never establishes direct network connections to the backend database in the Data Tier.

Option E: The HFM Data Tier uses relational database management systems (such as Oracle Database or SQL Server), not an Essbase multidimensional database.
