Error Loading Metadata

Question

Hi all,
I'm using HFM 11.1.1. While Loading Metadata in HFM client, i'm facing following error message.
"This is a BPMA application. This functionality done through BPMA"
Can anyone give suggestion to resolve this issue.

You will not see the phrase "classic" application anywhere in the user interface, though you will see it in the product documentation. "Classic" simply describes an application created using the pre-version 9.3.1 mode where you created an application profile and metadata file using the Win32 interface. This generates either an *.app or *.xml file which you can load directly into the application either through the web or Win32 interface.
"EPMA" is a term introduced with the EPM Architect module in version 9.3.1 (and really improved with the 11.1.1 and 11.1.2 releases) which allows the application to be created in the EPMA web interface only, and also create and manage metadata there as well. The module does allow for an externaly created metadata file to be loaded (*.ads format) but only into the dimension library and not directly into the HFM application. Once the metadata exists in the dimension library, you "deploy" it into the HFM application, and so it is an indirect rather than direct load.
Product functionality allows for a "classic" application to be created and then upgraded/converted to an EPMA application. You can do this if you want to start in "classic mode" or if you want to convert a previously existing application up to EPMA. Once you convert an application to EPMA mode, you cannot convert back to classic mode. You can have a mix of EPMA and classic applications in an environment. The EPMA applications will show up in the application library but the classic ones will not.
You can learn more in the HFM Administrator's Guide, under "Managing Applications", and by also reading Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect Administrator’s Guide.
