Creating a data destination connection is very similar to creating a data source
connection. It is done by selecting the application from the Application drop-down
list, selecting the model site by clicking on the radio button next to the appropriate
model site, and then clicking on the Add button. This will open the Create a Data
Destination Connection dialog box. The only data destination option available is
a database connection to the same server that contains the application database.
Here you have the choice of creating a new database, or using an existing database.
Clicking OK after entering all the required information in the text boxes will save
the Data Destination connection information in the system, and close the dialog box.
A Data Destination connection is required if you plan to run Outbound Rules, which
is one way of exporting the plan data from PPS Planning Server to external data
destinations.

Business Modeler are the basic units of data storage in the Planning Server, and they
integrate relevant information about a company. Using the various tools available
within the Planning Business Modeler, complex planning, budgeting, forecasting,
and consolidation functions can be performed on the models.
