Note: In your underlying ERP system, if you have access to multiple environments, those which are represented in Hubble Profiles, or you have access to multiple roles/ responsibilities you much choose which one(s) you wish to use when using Hubble. If you only have access to a single profile or role/responsibility, the application will continue to login directly to that profile or role/responsibility.

  2. Once you have successfully logged in, you will be in the Hubble application!

Multiple Profiles and Roles/Responsibilities

In your underlying ERP system, if you have access to multiple environments (which are represented in Hubble Profiles) or roles/responsibilities, you much choose which one(s) you wish to use when using Hubble . If you only have access to a single profile or role/responsibility, the application will continue to login directly to that profile or role/responsibility.

If you have access to multiple roles/responsibilities in your underlying ERP system and security is enabled for your chosen profile, you are prompted to choose which role/responsibility you wish to use when logging into Hubble .

The drop-down list is comprised of all the assigned roles/responsibility and, in J. D. Edwards, an option called *ALL; *ALL represents the user’s active roles associated to *ALL role. If you select a specific role, only the security for that specific role will be applied when security is applied at the role level. If you select *ALL, the security associated with your active roles in *ALL roles in J. D. Edwards will be applied when security is applied at the role level.

Item Validation

After you have entered in your user name and password, the application carries out the following tasks:

  1. Determines which modules you are licensed to and enable them accordingly.
  2. Retrieves various ERP settings, e.g. the current fiscal date period and year, Business Unit Security and the Automatic Accounting Instructions (AAIs) to determine the start of the Balance Sheet and Income Statement object accounts.
  3. Retrieves user preference settings, such as the filters to be used and the inquiry views that will be enabled.
  4. Retrieves user profile settings, such as inquiry favorites.

The application may take a few minutes to fully activate depending on various factors such as the specifications of the client machine, the location of the ERP server and the configuration of the profile. While this is occurring, the standard Windows hourglass icon will appear. A progress update is available by viewing the messages in the progress bar that appears on screen. When this initialization process has been completed, a welcome message will be shown at the bottom of the main inquiry screen.
