2) Installing and Configuring Hyperion Essbase Adapters After you create an FDM application, you install and configure the Hyperion Essbase adapters. Hyperion Essbase adapters enable interaction between the FDM application and the Hyperion Essbase applications. Adapters have two components—DLL/EXE and XML metadata.
