Peloton Makes Documentation Utility Available to the Oracle User Community


I am very excited to announce that the Peloton Object Parser Utility that I created has now been released to the Oracle community!  This utility will automatically document objects from your Oracle EPM system.  Simply extract the objects from the system, place them in a folder on your local machine, and run the Parser against that folder.  It really is that easy.





The types of files that it will document are listed below (v1.8.0):

  • Classic Business Rule Exports (*.XML)
  • Calc Manager Business Rule Exports (*.XML)
  • Planning Form Definition Exports (.XML)
  • Composite Planning Form Definition Exports (*.XML)
  • Financial Reports Exports (*.DES)
  • Financial Report Books (*.KBK)
  • Financial Report Batch (*.BCH)
  • Security Export Files (*.SEC)

Other Benefits of the Parser:

  • It is Free!
    • I have been working on this utility for many years and truly believe that it is something that can help the Oracle community.  This lead us to the decision to give this utility away at no charge and really give back to the community.
  • No Installation Needed
    • It's a completely self sufficient utility
    • Will run from a flash drive as well
  • Non-Destructive Application
    • This application is non-destructive to your original files.  It will simply open them up, read through them, and create separate files of its own.
    • As a best practice, please do not run this utility on your production servers.  Simply copy the object files to a client machine and run it from there.
