An enterprise planning system includes a plurality of application servers,
and an administration console to generate a deployment map that
associates each of a set of enterprise planning models with a respective
set of the application servers. The administration console, either
automatically or in response to input from a system administrator, may
finely control the allocation of computing resources to enterprise
planning. The administrator console may adjust the deployment map based
on approaching deadlines for the enterprise planning activities. When
administrating a task associated with an enterprise planning activity,
the administration console may break the task into a number of jobs, each
job associated with a different slice of the model in accordance with the
organizational hierarchy defined by the model. Consequently, allocation
of computing resources to enterprise planning may be finely controlled,
and may be adjusted to meet the current needs within the organizational
hierarchy.
