Assumed Knowledge
This guide is for administrators who install, configure, and manage EPM System products. It assumes the following knowledge:
l
Security and server administration skills Windows administration skills and or UNIX/Linux administration skills Web application server administration skills.
16
A strong understanding of your organization's security infrastructure, including authentication providers such as Oracle Internet Directory, LDAP, or Microsoft Active Directory, and use of SSL A strong understanding of your organization's database and server environments A strong understanding of your organization's network environment and port usage
About Middleware Home, EPM Oracle Home, and EPM Oracle Instance
Middleware Home A Middleware home consists of the Oracle WebLogic Server home, and, optionally, one or more Oracle homes, including EPM Oracle home. A Middleware home can reside on a local file system or on a remote shared disk that is accessible through Network File System (NFS). The Middleware home location is defined during the first product installation on the computer. Subsequent installations on the computer use the previously defined location. The default installation directory is Oracle/Middleware. The Middleware home location is referred to as MIDDLEWARE_HOME throughout this document. EPM Oracle Home An Oracle home contains installed files necessary to host a specific product, and resides within the directory structure of the Middleware home. The EPM Oracle home contains files for EPM System products. Components of EPM System products are installed in the EPM Oracle home directory under the Middleware home. The default EPM Oracle home location is MIDDLEWARE_HOME/ EPMSystem11R1. In addition, common internal components used by the products are installed in EPM Oracle home. Choose the location carefully to ensure that the location has enough disk space for all products that you are installing on the machine. You cannot change the location. The EPM Oracle home location is defined in the system environment variable called EPM_ORACLE_HOME. The EPM Oracle home location is referred to as EPM_ORACLE_HOME throughout this document. In a distributed environment, the EPM Oracle home directory structure must be the same on each machine. EPM Oracle Instance Additionally, during configuration, some products deploy components to the EPM Oracle instance defined during configuration. The default location for the EPM Oracle instance is MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1. The EPM Oracle instance location is referred to as EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE throughout this document. Deployed components include:
l
Data and applications
About Middleware Home, EPM Oracle Home, and EPM Oracle Instance
17
Deployed Web applications Log files
Web applications are deployed to MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/ domainName. Typically, if you are installing all products on a single machine, for the first product you configure, you create a new instance. For each product after that, you modify the existing instance. If you are installing in a distributed environment, you create a new instance on each machine. In a UNIX environment, you can deploy to a shared drive by installing to a shared drive and then configuring each machine to deploy to a different instance. See Deploying to a Shared Drive Environment (UNIX) on page 20. If you want to configure multiple instances of Essbase on a machine, see Configuring and Starting Additional Instances of Essbase Server on page 154.
Installation Checklist
Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installer, Fusion Edition installs components on three tiers:
l
Client tier Services tier Web tier, which includes the Java Application Server tier and the Web server tier
Additionally, when you configure EPM System products, you set up databases on the Data tier. For more information about EPM System product architecture, see Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation Start Here. EPM System installation follows this workflow. Each part of the workflow is described in the guides as noted in the table below:
Note: If you are installing Financial Close Management, follow the installation and

Task Configure EPM System products using EPM System Configurator.
Reference Chapter 4, Configuring EPM System Products Ensure that you meet any configuration prerequisites that apply to your environment. See Configuration Prerequisites on page 115. Note: In a distributed environment, configure Foundation Services first. Foundation Services must be installed and configured in order for other products to configure successfully. To configure Foundation Services, select the Foundation tasks on the Task Selection panel of EPM System Configurator: Configure Common Settings, Configure Database, Configure Oracle Configuration Manager, and Deploy to Application Server. Configure other EPM System products, and then configure the Web server last: select Configure Web Server from the Foundation tasks. For more information about required configuration sequence, see Configuration Sequence on page 120. Note: If you are enabling SSL in your deployment, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide before you configure. Different SSL configurations have implications for the choices you make during configuration using EPM System Configurator. Also, there are additional post-configuration tasks when deploying an SSL configuration.
Optionally, manually deploy EPM System Web applications. Perform any required postconfiguration tasks for your products. Start EPM System services. Validate the installation using Oracle's Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Diagnostics and verify deployment. Enable external authentication and provision users.

Tip: During installation, configuration, and validation, keep a list of all user names and
passwords that you use to create or modify the system, including the applications with which they are associated and their purpose.
Deploying to a Shared Drive Environment (UNIX)

For UNIX environments, you can deploy to a shared drive. When you deploy to a shared drive, you can:
l
Install once, and configure on each machine Review the configuration for a distributed setup from a single machine Review logs for different machines from a single machine Enable patching in a single place
20
Simplify disaster recovery setup
The following procedure describes an overview of the process of deploying EPM System products to a shared drive. Use this procedure along with the installation checklist. See the Installation Checklist on page 18 for details. EPM System supports the following types of shared drives:
l
Any SAN storage device with a shared disk file system supported on the installation platform Any NAS device over a supported network protocol
Deploying to a shared drive environment:

1 2
Map all the machines in the deployment to the same network share. Run EPM System Installer on one machine to install all EPM System components on the shared drive.
During installation, on the Destination/Middleware Home page, specify a directory on the shared drive.
Run EPM System Configurator on each machine in the environment.

l
For each machine, on the Configure a New or Existing EPM Oracle Instance configuration page, for Home directory for EPM Oracle instances specify the same instance home, and for EPM Oracle Instance name specify a new instance name. For example, after configuration, the directory structure for EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE looks like:
/user_projects /node1 /node2 /nodeN domains/epmsystem
For each machine, configure only the components to be run on the machine. Configure Foundation Services first, on the machine that is to be the WebLogic Administration Server. The Set Up Shared Services and Registry Database Connection configuration page displays only on the first machine.
Complete the configuration on each machine and close EPM System Configurator before moving on to configure another machine.
Maintenance Release Installation Checklist

Note: If you are applying the maintenance release to Financial Close Management, follow the
installation and configuration sequence described in Financial Close Management Maintenance Release Installation Prerequisites on page 91.

EPM System Installer applies the release to all installed 11.1.2.0 products. You cannot apply the maintenance release to only some products in your deployment. On the Product Selection page, you cannot make any selections or deselections.
Configure EPM System products using EPM System Configurator.
Chapter 4, Configuring EPM System Products Ensure that you meet any configuration prerequisites that apply to your environment. See Configuration Prerequisites on page 115. All required configuration tasks are preselected for you. By default, EPM System Configurator uses the same database for all products that you configure at one time. To use a different database for each product, perform the Configure Database task separately for each product. In some cases you might want to configure separate databases for products. For the Configure a New or Existing EPM Oracle Instance configuration task, select Modify an existing EPM Oracle instance. Note: In a distributed environment, configure Foundation Services first. Foundation Services must be installed and configured for other products to configure successfully. Configure other EPM System products, and then configure the Web server last: select Configure Web Server from the Foundation tasks. For more information about required configuration sequence, see Configuration Sequence on page 120. Note: If you are deploying in an SSL-enabled environment, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide before you configure. The type of SSL deployment you choose affects the choices you make during configuration with EPM System Configurator. Also, there are additional post-configuration tasks in an SSL environment.

About Essbase and Oracle Process Manager and Notification (OPMN) Server
Oracle Process Manager and Notification server (OPMN) enables you to monitor and control the Essbase Agent process. You add Essbase Agent information to opmn.xml to enable OPMN to start, stop, and restart the agent using the OPMN command line interface. OPMN can automatically restart the Essbase Agent when it becomes unresponsive, terminates unexpectedly, or becomes unreachable as determined by ping and notification operations. Additionally, you can use the failover functionality available in OPMN to provide high availability of Essbase clusters. The following table describes an overview of the process of installing, configuring, and managing Essbase with OPMN.
Table 2
Installing, configuring, and managing Essbase with OPMN Reference Chapter 3, Installing EPM System Products
Task Install EPM System products, including Essbase. Install Essbase locally on each node. During installation, EPM System Installer also installs OPMN on the Essbase Server machine. Note: Oracle recommends that the Oracle's Hyperion Shared Services Registry database be on a different machine than Essbase. Configure EPM System products, including Essbase. By default EPM System Configurator sets up Essbase to be managed by OPMN. If you are implementing Essbase clustering (active-passive only), during configuration with EPM System Configurator, do the following: 1. On the first machine, use EPM System Configurator to set up the cluster:
l
Chapter 4, Configuring EPM System Products Configure Essbase Server on page 150
On the Configure Essbase Server panel, for Full path to application location (ARBORPATH), the location you specify must be a shared drive. The location must reside on a file system that is reachable by all Essbase servers in the cluster. Click Cluster Setup to set up the cluster.
2. On the second machine, use EPM System Configurator to make this Essbase Server join the cluster you created on the first machine:
l
On the Configure Essbase Server page, for Full path to application location (ARBORPATH), the location must match the location you specified on the first machine in the cluster. Click Cluster Setup to make this Essbase Server join the cluster you created on the first machine.
During cluster setup on the second machine, EPM System Configurator updates essbase.cfg to specify
failovermode=true.
If you set up an active-passive Essbase cluster using EPM System Configurator, you must perform additional steps to set up Essbase failover on both nodes of the cluster. If you configured more than one instance of Essbase Server on a single machine, each instance has its own OPMN, its own start scripts, and its own log files. You must update each instance's copy of opmn. xml so that each OPMN has unique ports for communication.
Setting Up Active-Passive Essbase Clusters on page 248 Modifying OPMN for an Additional Instance of Essbase on page 250
About Essbase and Oracle Process Manager and Notification (OPMN) Server
23
Task Start Essbase using OPMN. Note: EPM System Configurator also sets up start scripts to start Essbase without using OPMN. Note that if you use this method of starting Essbase, OPMN is not used for managing Essbase and active-passive failover clusters are not supported. Optionally, learn more about OPMN service failover and the required elements and attributes in opmn. xml for configuring Essbase for failover. Diagnose problems by reviewing the OPMN logs.

Note the following information about preparing files for a distributed environment:
l
Even though you need the EPM-FoundationServices ZIP files on each machine in the environment, install Foundation Services Web applications on only one machine. On the machine on which you plan to administer the WebLogic Server, you must install all Web applications for all applications you plan to deploy on any machine in the environment. For more information, see Installing EPM System Products in a Distributed Environment on page 93.
The /assemblies directory should include a subdirectory for each product that you want to install on this machine. Ensure that the /assemblies directory looks as follows:
assemblies/ product/ version/ assembly.dat
Note: ProductRef.inf might be in the /assemblies directory. It can remain without
causing problems.
28
EPM System Installer can install a product only if the installation assembly files for the product are downloaded and unzipped to the correct location.
EPM System Software Dependencies

This section describes the required EPM System software for EPM System components. Use it to understand what selections to make in EPM System Installer based on what product you purchased. In some cases, EPM System Installer preselects products for you when there is a dependency. For example, when you are installing Planning, Essbase Server is preselected. When you are installing Web Analysis, Reporting and Analysis Framework Services and Common Libraries is preselected. You can clear these dependant options if you plan to install them on another machine.

Note: For information about which releases of these required products are compatible with the
current release of a particular EPM System product, see the Release Compatibility tab in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Certification Matrix (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/ fusion_certification.html).
Component Installation By Tier and Installation Assemblies

Use the information in this section to help plan which ZIP files to download and which assemblies are required for EPM System product components.
Tip: Oracle recommends that you download ZIP files to a shared drive. If you follow this
recommendation, you need not use the following tables to determine which ZIP files are required for each product component.
Note: By default, for most products, EPM System Installer installs 32-bit products on 32-bit
operating systems and 64-bit products on 64-bit operating systems for the Web and Services tier. EPM System Installer installs 32-bit client products on all operating systems. For Essbase Server and Essbase Client, EPM System Installer installs both 32-bit and 64bit components on a 64-bit operating system. EPM System Configurator configures only 64-bit components on 64-bit operating systems. The following sections describe the components and services available for installation on each tier (Client, Web, and Services) for each product when you install using the option Choose components individually. See EPM System Software Dependencies on page 29 for information on which components are required and optional for your product. The following tables also describe the ZIP files and installation assemblies required to install each component.

l l l
Oracle HTTP Server Installation Prerequisites Financial Close Management Installation and Configuration Prerequisites and Roadmap Maintenance Release Installation Prerequisites
Note the following installation prerequisites.

l
See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation Start Here for installation prerequisites for preparing a database, preparing IIS for products that require it, and preparing Web browsers. If you plan to deploy EPM System products in an SSL-enabled environment, review the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide before you install and configure. The SSL implementation you choose affects the options you choose during configuration. If you are installing on Windows 2008, disable UAC before installing. Before you install Essbase on a 64-bit Linux system, install the 64-bit version of the libaio package version 0.3.105-2 or higher. If you are installing on the same machine on which Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition or Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher are installed, install into two different Middleware homes. The products rely on different releases of Fusion Middleware. For ERP Integrator, you must install Oracle Data Integrator, which is available on EDelivery in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Media Pack, and then apply 9377717 -
83
Oracle Data Integrator 10.1.3.6.0 Patch Set, which is available on My Oracle Support. When you are setting up Oracle Data Integrator, set ODI_JAVA_HOME to a JDK 1.5 home.
l
If you want to include Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in your Financial Reporting PDF books or reports with cell documents, then the corresponding Office products must be preinstalled prior to installing Financial Reporting Print Server. Install Microsoft Excel on the FDM Server machine. To use Disclosure Management Client, when you install Microsoft Office, you must select .NET programmability support for Word and Excel. Typically, EPM System Installer installs WebLogic Server for you. If you have an existing WebLogic Server installation and want to use it instead of the WebLogic Server installed by EPM System Installer, note the Middleware home location for the WebLogic Server installation. During installation, you must install EPM System products to this same Middleware home. If EPM System Installer detects an existing WebLogic Server installation in the installation location, it does not install WebLogic Server. If you have an existing Oracle SOA Suite installation you plan to use with Financial Close Management, note the Middleware home location for the Oracle SOA Suite installation. During installation, you must install EPM System products to this same Middleware home. If you are installing FDM or Strategic Finance using Terminal Services, switch your session to installation mode before you run EPM System Installer (change user /install). If you plan to install the Strategic Finance Integration with Enterprise, you must install the Enterprise client first.
Upgrade Note! If you are upgrading, follow the upgrading checklist and perform the upgrade installation prerequisites. See Upgrading Checklist on page 175 and Upgrade Installation Prerequisites on page 180.
Oracle HTTP Server Installation Prerequisites

EPM System Installer installs Oracle HTTP Server during the installation of Foundation Services, using the Oracle HTTP Server silent installer. You must install Oracle HTTP Server even if you do not plan to use it as your Web server, because EPM System Configurator activates the Web server configuration task with the Oracle HTTP Server installation. During Web server configuration with EPM System Configurator, you can specify the Web server to use. Before you begin installation, ensure that you meet the installation prerequisites for Oracle HTTP Server and review the Oracle HTTP Server installation documentation and Release Notes for details on certified operating systems and supported UNIX / Linux packages and important installation issues and workarounds.
l
For Oracle HTTP Server system requirements information, go to: http://www.oracle.com/ technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_requirements.htm.
84
For Oracle HTTP Server certification information, go to: http://www.oracle.com/ technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html. For Oracle HTTP Server installation information, see the Oracle HTTP Server installation documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/webtier.htm) and Release Notes (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/relnotes.htm. For Oracle HTTP Server installation issues and workarounds, see the readme for your platform: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/relnotes.htm.
On AIX, if you are using Oracle HTTP Server with Oracle Database, you must run rootpre.sh as the root user before you install Oracle HTTP Server. Run this script once on each machine in the deployment. The file is in SystemInstaller-11120-aix.zip. For details see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) for AIX Based Systems (64-Bit) (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e14771/toc.htm). On Windows, ensure that you have a paging file size of at least 512 MB. Do not select the option to automatically manage paging file size.
Note: EPM System Installer also installs Oracle HTTP Server on the machine hosting the Essbase
Server to support OPMN, so these prerequisites apply to the Essbase Server machine as well. (Note that you only need to configure Oracle HTTP Server on the machine hosting the Web server.) Before beginning the installation, EPM System Installer runs prerequisite checks for Oracle HTTP Server. If this test reports any errors (reported on the Welcome page of EPM System Installer), review the Oracle HTTP Server documentation for solutions.
Caution!
Do not proceed with EPM System product installation until all of the Oracle HTTP Server prerequisites have passed.
During installation with EPM System Installer, check the Installation status for information about Oracle HTTP Server installation status. If Oracle HTTP Server installation fails, check the logs for details. The logs report information from the Oracle HTTP Server silent installer. You can find the logs in:
l
Windows: EPM_ORACLE_HOME/diagnostics/logs/ohs UNIX: EPM_ORACLE_HOME/diagnostics/logs/install/common-ohs-ouiout.log
You can also review the Oracle HTTP Server product logs. For more information about Web server logs, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Troubleshooting Guide.
85
Financial Close Management Installation and Configuration Prerequisites and Roadmap

For Financial Close Management, you must install Oracle SOA Suite and all its required patches.
Note: If you are applying the maintenance release to move from Financial Close Management
Release 11.1.2.0 to Release 11.1.2.1, see Financial Close Management Maintenance Release Installation Prerequisites on page 91.
Note: In a distributed environment, you must install Oracle SOA Suite on the following
machines in the deployment, although you need to configure it on only one machine (the machine on which you want to run SOA Server): Financial Close Management, WebLogic Administration Server, Foundation Services, and if you are integrating with these products: Financial Management (Web application), Financial Reporting (Web application), FDM (Web application).
Note: Oracle SOA Suite and EPM System must be deployed to the same WebLogic domain.
In addition, for a distributed environment, ensure that you review Installing EPM System Products in a Distributed Environment on page 93 for additional requirements. The following tables provide an overview of the installation and configuration process for Oracle SOA Suite and Financial Close Management in the following scenarios:
l
In a new deployment, where you have not installed or configured any EPM System products. In an existing deployment, where you have already installed and configured some EPM System products and now want to extend the deployment to include Financial Close Management and Oracle SOA Suite.
Roadmap for Installing and Configuring Oracle SOA Suite and Financial Close Management in a new EPM System Deployment Reference Installing EPM System Products on page 96. In addition, for a distributed environment, ensure that you review Installing EPM System Products in a Distributed Environment on page 93 for additional requirements. http://download.oracle.com/ docs/cd/E15523_01/relnotes. 1111/e10132/soa. htm#CDEIFEAC
Table 15
Task Install EPM System products. Note: In a distributed environment, on the machine on which you plan to administer the WebLogic Server, you must install all Web applications for all applications you plan to deploy on any machine in the environment. A default installation of EPM System installs WebLogic Server, which is required for Oracle SOA Suite. The WebLogic Administration Server is installed and deployed on the Foundation Services machine.
If you are using Microsoft SQL Server, review XA Configuration Required to Start the SOA Infrastructure on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes 11g Release 1 (11. 1.1) for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit).
86
Task Run the Repository Creation Utility and install Oracle SOA Suite. Note: In a distributed environment, you must install Oracle SOA Suite on the following machines in the deployment, although you need to configure it on only one machine (the machine on which you want to run SOA Server): Financial Close Management, WebLogic Administration Server, Foundation Services, and if you are integrating with these products, Financial Management (Web application), Financial Reporting (Web application), FDM (Web application). Configure Oracle SOA Suite, creating a new WebLogic domain. You must also install any required Oracle Fusion Middleware patches, available on My Oracle Support. Note: In a distributed environment note the following additional step:
l
Reference Installing Oracle SOA Suite on page 115
Configuring and Starting Oracle SOA Suite on page 116 and Chapter 3, Installing EPM System Products
If Oracle SOA Suite is on a machine separate from EPM System products, you must install Foundation Services on the SOA machine. If Oracle SOA Suite is configured on a machine separate from the WebLogic Administration Server machine, use the pack command on the machine hosting the WebLogic Administration Server to pack the domain, and then use the unpack command to unpack it on the machine hosting the SOA Server.
Stop the SOA managed server. Stop WebLogic Server if it is on the same machine as Foundation Services. Configure EPM System products, selecting all required configuration tasks except Deploy to SOA. During deployment, you must extend the WebLogic domain created during Oracle SOA Suite deployment. Note: Note the following information about configuring in a distributed environment:
l

Maintenance Release Installation Prerequisites

If you are applying the maintenance release to move from EPM System Release 11.1.2 to Release 11.1.2.1, note the following installation prerequisites.
l
You must apply the maintenance release on top of your existing EPM System installation. You must apply the maintenance release to all EPM System products in the deployment. You cannot apply the maintenance release to only some products. If you are applying the maintenance release to move from EPM System release 11.1.2.0 to EPM System Release 11.1.2.1, or if you are reinstalling EPM System products, you must first stop all the services for EPM System products. Note that you must manually stop the Integration Services service manually using the Task Manager.
89
If you are applying the maintenance release to move from Essbase Release 11.1.2 to Release 11.1.2.1, you must first export linked reporting object information from the 11.1.2 database, and then delete the linked reporting objects. After applying the maintenance release, import the exported linked reporting objects. See Essbase Maintenance Release Installation Prerequisites on page 90. If you have an earlier release of Financial Reporting Studio, uninstall it and stop and disable the Financial Reporting Print Server service if it is running before installing the new release. For Financial Reporting, you must first apply Reporting and Analysis patch ID 10628534 (PSU 503), available from My Oracle Support. If you have an earlier release of Spreadsheet Add-in, uninstall it before installing the new release.
Essbase Maintenance Release Installation Prerequisites

If you are applying the maintenance release to move from Essbase Release 11.1.2 to Release 11.1.2.1, you must first export linked reporting object (LRO) information from the 11.1.2 database. After installing and configuring, you import the exported linked reporting objects.
To export linked reporting objects from Essbase Release 11.1.2:

1
On the machine hosting the Release 11.1.2 installation, back up the application linked reporting object data to a specified directory by using the following MAXL command:
EXPORT database DBS-NAME LRO to server directory directoryName;
For example:
MAXL> EXPORT database Sample.Basic LRO to server directory V1;
In this example, Sample.Basic LRO data is exported to Sample-Basic-V1 in ARBORPATH/app.
Remove the application linked reporting object data with the following MAXL command:
ALTER database DBS-NAME delete LRO all
For example:
MAXL> ALTER database sample.basic delete LRO all;
3 4 5
Shut down the Essbase Release 11.1.2 server. Install and configure Essbase Release 11.1.2.1. Import the linked reporting objects to Essbase Release 11.1.2.1.
For details on this step, see Importing Linked Reporting Objects on page 247.

Update product integration types by importing the Release 11.1.2.1 versions of all product integration files. The product integration files are posted on My Oracle Support.
Installation Sequence
EPM System Installer enables you to install, configure, and deploy multiple products on a machine at one time. EPM System Installer installs components in the correct order, so you can select as many products as you want to install on a machine at one time. Before installing products:
l
See Installation Planning Checklist in Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation Start Here.
92
Review the system requirements in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Certification Matrix (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/ files/fusion_certification.html). Review the Media Pack Readme on Oracle E-Delivery to see which products are required or optional for use with your products.
Note that EPM System Installer installs WebLogic Server on each machine where you install a Web tier or Service tier component.
Note: If you have already installed Oracle SOA Suite and WebLogic Server, but have not yet
installed EPM System products, during installation, select Apply Maintenance Release first to install the latest WebLogic Server, and then select New Installation to continue with the installation of EPM System products. The following EPM System products are not installed and configured using EPM System Installer:
l
Smart View. To install Smart View using the standalone executable, see Installing EPM System Clients on page 108. Spreadsheet Add-in. To install Spreadsheet Add-in using the standalone executable, see Installing EPM System Clients on page 108. Financial Reporting and Financial Reporting Studio. See Installing Financial Reporting Studio and Financial Reporting Print Server on page 110. Planning Offline Client. See Installing Planning Offline Client on page 111. Strategic Finance Client. See Installing Strategic Finance Client on page 111. Disclosure Management client, and optionally, Taxonomy Designer. See Installing EPM System Clients on page 108. Data Relationship Management. See the Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management Installation Guide.
Installing EPM System Products in a Distributed Environment

You typically install EPM System products in a distributed environment. The number of computers you need depends on several factors, including:
l
The size of the applications The number of users The frequency of concurrent use by multiple users Any requirements your organization has for high availability Your organization's security requirements
93
See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation Start Here for sample deployment diagrams to help plan your deployment. EPM System Installer simplifies the task of installing components in a distributed computing environment. You can install, configure, and validate any components you want on any computer. Once you have installed, configured, and validated the components on that machine, you can repeat the process on another machine. For information about which assemblies you need on each machine in a distributed environment, see Chapter 2, Preparing for Installation. Note the following information about planning for an installation in a distributed environment:
l
If you are deploying to a shared drive (UNIX), not all of the following notes apply. See Deploying to a Shared Drive Environment (UNIX) on page 20. While you can install products in any order in a distributed environment, there is a required configuration sequence in a distributed environment. In particular, note that you must configure Foundation Services first. Foundation Services must be installed and configured for other products to configure successfully. To configure Foundation Services, select the Foundation tasks on the Task Selection panel of EPM System Configurator: Configure Common Settings, Configure Database, Configure Oracle Configuration Manager, and Deploy to Application Server. Configure the Web server last. See Configuration Sequence in a Distributed Environment on page 122. In a distributed environment, EPM Oracle home must be the same on each machine. For example, if the path for EPM Oracle home is /Oracle/Middleware on the first machine you configure, it must be /Oracle/Middleware on all the machines in the deployment. On the machine on which you plan to administer the WebLogic Server, you must install all Web applications for all applications you plan to deploy on any machine in the environment. (The WebLogic Administration Server is installed and deployed on the Foundation Services machine.) On each remote machine in a distributed environment, install the Web applications you plan to run on that machine and then use EPM System Configurator to deploy the Web applications automatically, or manually deploy the Web applications. Note that EPM System Installer installs WebLogic Server on each machine (for Web tier and Service tier components) in a distributed environment.
If you are deploying Web applications on a machine other than the WebLogic Administration Server machine, WebLogic Administration Server must be running. All Web applications in an EPM System deployment must be deployed on either all Windows machines or on all UNIX machines. However, because Financial Management runs only on Windows, if you are using Financial Management with Reporting and Analysis, you must also deploy Reporting and Analysis on a Windows machine. (Financial Management is not supported as a data source on a UNIX platform.) If your other Web applications are deployed to UNIX machines, you must deploy Financial Reporting and Web Analysis on Windows using a manual process.
94
See Deploying Financial Reporting and Web Analysis on Windows for use with Financial Management on page 241.
l
You can have more than one OHS Web server in a deployment for load balancing and failover. In this scenario, configure the Web server on each machine in the environment. If you are using IIS as the Web server, install all IIS applications on the same machine as the IIS Web server. EPM System supports only one IIS Web server in a deployment. If you are installing in multiple environments (for example, Development, Test, and Production), install Foundation Services products in each environment. You must install the Financial Management Smart View Provider and the Financial Management LCM Provider on the same box as the Financial Management Web application. For IIS 6.0, you cannot install 32-bit components on a 64-bit system on which 64-bit components are already installed. You must install the 32-bit components on another system or install all of the 32-bit components on a 32-bit system. Specifically FDM (32-bit) and Strategic Finance (32-bit) cannot be deployed on the same computer where Financial Management (64-bit) and Performance Management Architect (64-bit) are deployed. On 32-bit platforms, all EPM System products can co-exist. For IIS 7 (the default on Windows 2008 systems), 32-bit and 64-bit components can co-exist. During configuration, the Oracle HTTP Server machine needs connectivity to the machine hosting the Shared Services Registry. EPM System static content, including product online Help, is installed with Oracle HTTP Server. In a distributed environment, for Financial Close Management, you must install Oracle SOA Suite on the following machines in the deployment, although you need to configure it on only one machine (the machine on which you want to run SOA Server): Financial Close Management, WebLogic Administration Server, Foundation Services, Financial Management (Web application), Financial Reporting (Web application), FDM (Web application).
Note: Oracle SOA Suite and EPM System must be deployed to the same domain.
For FDM, when you are using Financial Management, Essbase, Planning, or Hyperion Enterprise as target systems, the target system clients must be installed on the same server as FDM. If you are using FDM and you are using IIS as the Web Server to host EPM Workspace, you must install the FDM Web application and the EPM Workspace Web application on the same box. If you are using Financial Management and IIS as the Web Server, you must install Financial Management Web applications and the Web Server on the same box. If you are using Performance Management Architect and IIS as the Web Server, you must install Performance Management Architect Web applications and the Web Server on the same box.

You can install EPM System products using the graphical user interface, using the console mode interface, or using a silent mode installation response file. When you install EPM System products, you choose which type of installation to perform:
l
New installation. Note that you also choose this option if you are upgrading from an earlier release (Release 11.1.1.3.x, Release 9.3.3.x, or Release 9.2.1.x.)
Apply maintenance release, if you are moving from Release 11.1.2.0 to Release 11.1.2.1. Re-install this release
For each type of installation, you choose whether to install EPM System products by tier or by individual component:
l
Select Choose components by tier to install all the product components for the selected products by tier (Client, Web application, and Services). You still have the option to specify installation location and the products to install. Select Choose components individually if you want more control over which services and components are installed for each product component.
Oracle recommends that you install EPM System products by tier.
96
Note: On Windows machines, do not use the Administrator user to install and configure.
Run EPM System Installer and EPM System Configurator as a user with administrator rights. Install and configure as the same user for all EPM System products. If you are using Windows 2008, install with UAC disabled.
Note: On UNIX machines, do not use the root user to install and configure. Install and
configure as the same user for all EPM System products. On UNIX machines, for all Oracle products, the user that is installing must be part of the same group; the group must have write permission to the central inventory (oraInventory).
Note: When you upgrade or apply the maintenance release, install and configure using the same
user that was used to install and configure the earlier release.
Note: You cannot run EPM System Installer at the same time that you are running another
instance of an Oracle Universal Installer (such as the installer for Oracle Database).
To install EPM System products:

1
Choose a method:
l
(Windows) Double-click installTool.cmd in the root directory to which you extracted the EPM System Installer files. (Windows) From a Windows console, change to the root directory to which you extracted the EPM System Installer files and enter installTool.cmd -console. Create a silent installation response file. See Performing Silent Installations on page 105. (UNIX) Change to the root directory to which you extracted the EPM System Installer files and enter ./installTool.sh. (UNIX) Change to the root directory to which you extracted the EPM System Installer files and enter ./installTool.sh -console.
EPM System Installer performs some initial checks while launching. Review the command prompt window for details. If you see a message in the command prompt window that User Account Control (UAC) is enabled on Windows 2008 systems, disable UAC, reboot, and then restart EPM System Installer. EPM System Installer launches.
Tip: The first page of EPM System Installer might open hidden behind other windows if
you navigate away from the EPM System Installer window or try to reposition the initial window. Press Alt+Tab to switch to the first page of the wizard.
Select a language.
Throughout EPM System Installer, if a component is not available for installation in the language you selected, it is shaded in color and marked with an asterisk (*).
97
Review and complete each page of EPM System Installer, clicking or selecting Next to move to the next page.
In console mode, enter the number beside the selection you want.
Tip: EPM System Installer starts to display the progress indicator after it has prepared the
list of assemblies to install. This might take several minutes, depending on how many products you selected. EPM System Installer displays progress incrementally as each assembly's installation is complete. The following table provides links where you can find more details about each page of EPM System Installer.

When installation is complete, click or select Configure to configure the products using EPM System Configurator, or click or select Finish to close EPM System Installer.
Note: If you are installing Financial Close Management, note that it requires additional steps
before you configure with EPM System Configurator. See Configuration Prerequisites for Financial Close Management on page 115. For more information about configuring EPM System products, see Chapter 4, Configuring EPM System Products. After you install and configure the products, start the services as described in Chapter 8, Starting and Stopping EPM System Products. You can then use EPM System Diagnostics to validate that the installation was successful and that the components are communicating. See Chapter 9, Validating the Installation and Verifying Deployment.
98
Welcome
Review the prerequisites carefully before you continue the installation. When you have
confirmed that your system meets the prerequisites to run EPM System Installer, click or select Next to continue the installation. EPM System Installer checks for the following:
l
Whether the computer host name resolves to an IP address. If the machine host name resolves to an IP address, EPM System Installer provides a warning. Oracle recommends that you resolve this issue and provide a host name instead of an IP address before proceeding. Whether your system has a supported operating system. Whether your system meets minimum memory requirements to run the installation. Whether the user installing has administrator privileges (Windows only). Whether your system meets environment variable prerequisites. Whether the inventory is writable. Whether there is 1 GB of temp space available. Basic pre-installation checks for Oracle HTTP Server and WebLogic Server. In addition, EPM System Installer runs prerequisite checks for Oracle HTTP Server. If this test reports any errors, review the Oracle HTTP Server documentation for solutions. (See Oracle HTTP Server Installation Prerequisites on page 84 for details on finding the Oracle HTTP Server documentation and readmes.)
Caution!
Do not proceed with EPM System product installation until all of the Oracle HTTP Server prerequisites have passed.
A check mark indicates that your system meets EPM System Installer prerequisites. If any of the prerequisite items do not display a check mark, and you choose to continue, the installation might not succeed.
Tip: If you are using a hosts file to resolve your host name, the host name resolves to the first entry in your hosts file. To prevent potential communication problems in a distributed environment, ensure that the first entry in your hosts file is the machine's fully qualified
domain name so that the fully qualified name is stored in the Shared Services Registry.
99
Destination/Middleware Home
Specify the destination for the installation location, or browse to a location and select it, and
then click or select Next. The default location is Oracle/Middleware. The destination you specify becomes the Middleware home. By default EPM System Installer creates a default EPM Oracle home under the Middleware home. The default location is Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1. See About Middleware Home, EPM Oracle Home, and EPM Oracle Instance on page 17. Note the following information about the Middleware home:
l
Ensure that this destination has enough disk space to install all the products that you want to install on this machine. See Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation Start Here for disk space requirements. You select a Middleware home for each machine in your environment. In a distributed environment, EPM Oracle home must be the same on each machine. For example, if the path for EPM Oracle home is /Oracle/Middleware on the first machine you configure, it must be /Oracle/Middleware on all the machines in the deployment.
If you are reinstalling EPM System products on this machine, adding products to your installation, or applying the maintenance release, the existing location for the Middleware home is listed as the default installation destination, and you cannot change it. The destination path cannot contain spaces; for example, c:\Program Files is not acceptable (unless you use short path notation). The first character must be an alphanumeric character.
Note: If you previously used EPM System Installer, and you saved the installation selections to
a file, you can load the selections to prepopulate the installation destination and the products to install. Doing so is useful if you are installing the same products on multiple machines. Click Load, browse to the saved selections file, and click Open.
Installation Type
Select an installation type, and then click or select Next. If an installation type is not applicable
on this machine, the option is unavailable.
Note: You cannot combine installation types in one session. For example, you cannot perform
a new installation of one product at the same time you perform a reinstallation of another product. Choose from the following installation types:
l
New installation
100 Installing EPM System Products

If a product is unavailable on the Product Selection page, ensure that the assemblies are in the correct location. See Chapter 2, Preparing for Installation. For Troubleshooting tips, see Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Troubleshooting Guide
Select a product component to see information and status about it in the lower portion of the screen. If Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is required for your installation, and it is not installed, a warning is noted in the lower portion of the screen, and you cannot
Installing EPM System Products 103
proceed until you install IIS. If you are installing on an unsupported platform, a warning is displayed.
l
The Shared Services and EPM Workspace Web applications are installed when you install the Foundation Services Web applications. If you selected New Installation, and you have already installed this release of a product, the product is unavailable in the Product Selection page. In some cases, a component is selected, but is unavailable (you can't clear it), because it is required for another selected component. If you want to install Essbase in standalone mode (not using Foundation Services), you can skip the installation for Foundation Services Web applications. However, you must configure the Shared Services Registry database. To configure the Shared Services Registry database without installing Foundation Services, see Setting Up Essbase in Standalone Mode on page 171.

Summary
Review the installation summary, and then click or select Configure to launch EPM System
Configurator or click or select Finish to close EPM System Installer. EPM System Installer indicates the success or failure of the installation. If any part of the installation failed, EPM System Installer notes which assembly failed to install. Check the log files for more information about the errors. You can find the log files in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/ diagnostics/logs/install. There is a log file for each assembly, named productinstall.log; for example, hss-install.log, and a log file for installation, installToolinstall-DateTime.log. For more information about configuring EPM System products, see Chapter 4, Configuring EPM System Products. After you install and configure the products, start the services as described in Chapter 8, Starting and Stopping EPM System Products. You can then use EPM System Diagnostics to validate that the installation was successful and that the components are communicating. See Chapter 9, Validating the Installation and Verifying Deployment.
Performing Silent Installations

Silent installations automate the installation process so that you can install EPM System products on multiple computers without manually specifying installation settings on each machine. To enable silent installation, record your installation settings in a response file. You can then run a silent installation from the command line, using the installation options that were saved in the response file.
Performing Silent Installations 105
To record installation settings and run a silent installation:

1 2
Navigate to the directory that contains EPM System Installer. From a command line, run a command:
installTool.cmd -record filename
for Windows or
installTool.sh -record filename
for UNIX, where filename includes an absolute path or file name for the response file. The file is saved in XML format, but you do not have to save the file with a .xml extension. EPM System Installer launches.
Proceed through EPM System Installer, specifying the options that you want to record. For additional information about installation options, see Installing EPM System Products on page 96.
Installation options are recorded in the response file. You can modify the response file later to change installation options. You are now ready to run the installation in silent mode.
4 5
Copy the response file to the machine on which you want to run the installation. You can also copy the file to a network drive that is accessible from the machines on which you want to install. From the command line, enter a command:
installtool.cmd -silent filename
for Windows or
installtool.sh -silent filename
for UNIX. The installation runs in the background. Upgrade Note! Silent response files are not compatible between EPM System Release 11.1.1.x or Release 11.1.2.0 and Release 11.1.2.1. If you created silent response files for use with any earlier release of EPM System products, you must re-create them for use with EPM System Release 11.1.2.1.
Loading Saved Selections

You can also record installation settings from within EPM System Installer.
To record installation settings, during installation, on the Installation Confirmation page,

click or select Save, browse to a location, specify a file name, and click or select Save. The file is saved in the same format as for silent installations.
To play back the installation using the same installation destination and product component
selections, start EPM System Installer, and on the Destination page, click or select Load, browse to the saved selections file, and click or select Open.
Modifying Response Files

After you create a response file, you can modify it to customize the installation options for certain machines. For example, you might create a master silent file for all products, and then for each machine, change the location of the Middleware home and keep only the product components that you want to install on this machine.
To modify a response file:

1 2
Open the response file in any text editor. The file is in XML format. Edit the file using the following options.
l
<HyperionHome>Location of the Middleware home. <SelectedProducts>Product components to install to specific tiers. Make changes in <Product name>, <ProductComponent name>, <InstallTier>, and <Component>. <Product name>The name of the product. Enclose product names in quotes, as they
are XML attributes.

l
<ProductComponent name>The component of the product. Enclose component
names in quotes, because they are XML attributes.

l
<InstallTier>The installation tier for the component installation (Client, Service,
WebApplication).
l
<Component> The services to install.
Save the file in XML format.

Configure Logical Address for Web Applications optional. Use this option after firsttime deployment if you need to change the logical address for a Web application. This task lets you change the logical address without redeploying the Web application. Configure Web Server required. Configures the Web server for all EPM System Web applications. If you have already configured the Web server and you configure any additional products, you must run EPM System Configurator again and select the Foundation Services Configure Web Server task. Then, restart the Web server and EPM Workspace.
Set Shared Services admin user password required. EPM System Configurator creates a preprovisioned user called admin that enables you to log on to Shared Services after configuration to create and provision users. EPM System Configurator requires you to specify a new admin password during configuration. You need not select this task. EPM System Configurator displays this page only once, on the first machine you configure. Configure Database for products To store and retrieve data. Deploy to Application Server To deploy the application to a Web application server. Product-specific configuration tasks for products that require it. Upgrade configuration tasks for products that require it, if you are upgrading from an earlier release.
Note: EPM System Configurator also performs pre-configuration tasks and registers products
with Shared Services during configuration. You need not select these tasks; they are automatically performed when needed. Use the configuration worksheets throughout this chapter to plan your configuration and to document the configuration steps for your company if required for disaster recovery.
About the Shared Services Registry

The Shared Services Registry is part of the database that you configure for Foundation Services. Created the first time that you configure EPM System products, the Shared Services Registry simplifies configuration by storing and reusing the following information for most EPM System products that you install:
l
Initial configuration values such as database settings and deployment settings The computer names, ports, servers, and URLs you use to implement multiple, integrated, EPM System products and components Essbase failover content
Configuration changes that you make for one product are automatically applied to other products used in the deployment.
114 Configuring EPM System Products
You can view and manage the contents of the Shared Services Registry using Lifecycle Management in the Oracle's Hyperion Shared Services Console. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Lifecycle Management Guide.
Configuration Prerequisites
Configuration prerequisite notes:
l
If you plan to deploy EPM System products in an SSL-enabled environment, review the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide before you configure. The SSL implementation that you choose affects the options that you select during configuration. Gather the information that you need to configure products. See Using EPM System Configurator on page 129. If you are using Financial Close Management, see Configuration Prerequisites for Financial Close Management on page 115. If you plan to integrate Oracle BI EE or BI Publisher with EPM Workspace, see Prerequisites for Integrating Oracle BI EE and BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.4.1+ with EPM Workspace Release 11.1.2.1 on page 118. If you are using Profitability and Cost Management, and plan to use Oracle Web Services Manager to automate Profitability and Cost Management tasks, see Configuration Prerequisites for Profitability and Cost Management on page 119.

Installing Oracle SOA Suite Configuring and Starting Oracle SOA Suite
Before you can configure Financial Close Management, you must install, configure, and start Oracle SOA Suite.
Installing Oracle SOA Suite

The following procedure provides an overview of the Oracle SOA Suite installation procedure. For more information about this procedure, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc. 1111/e13925/overview.htm#sthref12. This roadmap contains documentation links for the steps that follow.
To install Oracle SOA Suite:

1
Ensure that you meet all the prerequisites and system requirements described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1.
Configuration Prerequisites 115
Note: Oracle SOA Suite requires WebLogic Server, which is installed with a default
installation of EPM System.
Install and run the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create the required schemas for Oracle SOA Suite. Note the following details for this step:
l
Download the Repository Creation Utility from the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Media Pack on Oracle EDelivery and then install it. To start RCU, from rcuHome/bin, run ./rcu (UNIX) or rcu.bat (Windows). You can ignore any messages about using a non-AL32UTF8 database. On the Database Connection Details page, specify a user with DBA or SYSDBA privileges, such as sys. On the Select Components page, make the following selections:
m
Expand SOA and BPM Infrastructure and select the following SOA infrastructure components: SOA Infrastructure and User Messaging Service. (You need not select Business Activity Monitoring (BAM).) Expand AS Common Schemas and select Metadata Services if it is not already selected. For Identity Management, OID is selected by default. Do not select Oracle Identity Federation.
Make a note of the schema owner names for all the components because you need them to configure Oracle SOA Suite.
l
On the Schema Passwords page, Oracle recommends that you select Use same passwords for all schemas. Make a note of this password.
Download Oracle SOA Suite from the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Media Pack on Oracle EDelivery, and then install it using the default options. If you have already installed EPM System products, install to the same Middleware home, for example: Oracle/Middleware.
During installation, use the JDK in the EPM System installation (MIDDLEWARE_HOME/ JDK160_21).
When the installation is complete, configure Oracle SOA Suite. See Configuring and Starting Oracle SOA Suite on page 116.
Configuring and Starting Oracle SOA Suite

Ensure that you have installed Oracle SOA Suite as described in Installing Oracle SOA Suite on page 115. Before you configure Financial Close Management, you must configure and start Oracle SOA Suite. The following procedure provides an overview of the Oracle SOA Suite configuration procedure. For more information about this procedure, see the Configuring Oracle SOA Suite chapter of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1 http:// download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e13925/configure.htm#CACEEJJJ.
To configure Oracle SOA Suite:

1
From the WebLogic Administration Server machine, run the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard to configure a WebLogic domain, and choose the products that you want to configure in that domain. To start the Configuration Wizard, from SOA_ORACLE_HOME/common/bin, run config.sh (UNIX) or config.cmd (Windows).
Note that EPM System and Oracle SOA Suite must be deployed to the same domain. The choice you make for the domain depends on your deployment scenario:
l
In a new deployment, where you have not yet configured EPM System products, you must create a new WebLogic domain. In an existing deployment, where you have already configured EPM System products and now want to extend the deployment to include Financial Close Management and Oracle SOA Suite, you must extend the existing WebLogic domain created during EPM System deployment.
Note the following additional details for this step. Note that not all steps are listed, only those that require specific selections for Financial Close Management.
l
During deployment, select the following products: Oracle SOA Suite and all common Oracle components, including Oracle Enterprise Manager, Oracle WSM Policy Manager, Oracle JRF WebServices Asynchronous services, and Oracle JRF, if they are not already selected. Select the default JDK. Oracle recommends that you select Production Mode. (When using Production Mode, when you start WebLogic Administration Server, when you are prompted to enter a user name and password, enter the user name and password that you entered during the configuration of the Administration Server domain.) When you configure the JDBC datasources, enter the database details that you entered when you ran RCU. Use the default settings for the server port. By default, the Administration Server port is 7001 and the soa_server1 port is 8001.
Start WebLogic Administration Server and the Oracle SOA Suite managed servers using the WebLogic Administration Console.
l
To start the WebLogic Administration Server, run the following command:

MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domainName/ startWebLogic.cmd
To start the SOA Managed Server, run the following command: MIDDLEWARE_HOME/
user_projects/domains/domainName/bin/startManagedWebLogic.cmd soa_server1.
The Oracle SOA Server must be running before you can configure Financial Close Management.
Tip: SOA setup usually runs on two servers - an Admin Server running on port 7001, which
hosts the Enterprise Management application, and a managed server running on port 8001, which hosts the SOA infrastructure. Log in to http://host:7001/em with your domain user name and password and check the status of both servers.
Apply the following patches for Oracle Fusion Middleware, available on My Oracle Support:
l
11837635 - PSE FOR BASE BUG 11063511 ON TOP OF 11.1.1.4.0 (PSE #527410). 11864201 - PSE FOR MLR BUG 11864201 ON TOP OF 11.1.1.4.0 (PSE #536496)
Shut down the Financial Close Management managed server, the SOA Server, and all managed servers before you apply a patch. Review the patch Readmes for information on how to apply a patch. For patch 11837635, set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to ../Oracle/ Middleware/Oracle_SOA1. For patch 11864201, set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to MIDDLEWARE_HOME/
oracle_common.
Apply the patches on each machine on which SOA is installed. Next, configure EPM System products according to the configuration sequence noted in Financial Close Management Installation and Configuration Prerequisites and Roadmap on page 86. Then, perform manual postconfiguration tasks. See Chapter 7, Performing Postconfiguration Tasks. In particular, you must complete the Financial Close Management postconfiguration tasks. See Financial Close Management Postconfiguration Tasks on page 268.
Prerequisites for Integrating Oracle BI EE and BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.4.1+ with EPM Workspace Release 11.1.2.1
Before you can integrate Oracle BI EE and BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.4.1+ with EPM Workspace Release 11.1.2.1, you must install and configure Shared Services Release 11.1.1.3 on a machine other than the machine used for EPM System Release 11.1.2.1. Then, perform the following steps:
l
Before you can integrate BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.4.1+ with EPM Workspace 11.1.2.1, you must complete the prerequisite steps described in the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Administrator's and Developer's Guide Release 10.1.3.4.1, available at http:// download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/index.htm. Note the following caveats:
m
In the section Configuring Oracle BI Publisher with EPM Workspace, the step Configure the EPM Workspace Web server is not required because Web Server is configured during configuration of EPM System Release 11.1.2.1. All references to the Registry Properties file (reg.properties) in the Prerequisites for Integration with EPM Workspace refer to the Registry Properties file (reg.properties) that was created during the installation and configuration of Shared Services Release 11.1.1.3.
Before you can integrate Oracle BI EE Release 10.1.3.4.1+ with EPM Workspace 11.1.2.1, you must complete the prerequisite steps described in the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher New Features Guide Release 10.1.3.4.1+, available at http://download.oracle.com/ docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/index.htm. Note the following caveats:
m
In the section Installing and Configuring Oracle BI Presentation Services with EPM Workspace, the steps Configuring the Web Server for EPM Workspace and Verifying the Web Server Configuration are not carried out using EPM Workspace Release 11.1.1.3 but on EPM System Release 11.1.2.1. All references in the document to the Registry Properties file (reg.properties) refer to the Registry Properties file (reg.properties) that is created during the installation and configuration of Shared Services Release 11.1.1.3.
Next, proceed with configuration of EPM System Release 11.1.2.1 using EPM System Configurator, selecting the task Set up Connection to Oracle BI EE and Publisher. Configure the Web server last. In this scenario, you must have an installation of Shared Services Release 11.1.1.3 along with the installation of EPM System Release 11.1.2.1. Caveats for working in this environment:
l
Native users are not supported. You must install and configure EPM System Release 11.1.2.1 and EPM System Release 11.1.1.3 on different servers. Configuration on a single server is not supported.
Configuration Prerequisites for Profitability and Cost Management

If you will be using Oracle Web Services Manager to automate Profitability and Cost Management tasks, you must install the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) before configuring the EPM System products. The RCU creates the required schemas to work with Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM). Oracle Web Services Manager is automatically installed, but not configured, with EPM Workspace.
To install and configure the Repository Creation Utility:

1
Create a user account for an Oracle RDB (Version 11.1.0.7.0) for the Repository Creation Utility. Version 11.1.0.7.0 of the Oracle Database 11g Release is available from the Oracle download site (https:// edelivery.oracle.com). Enable Security for Web Services, and set the role as system administrator. For detailed instructions, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Security and Administrator's Guide for Web Services 11g 1 (Release 11.1.1.). Download the Repository Creation Utility from the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Media Pack on Oracle EDelivery. Navigate to the Installer-RCU folder.
3 4
5 6
Copy rcuHome.zip to the location in which you want to install the Repository Creation Utility, and extract the contents. From rcuHome/bin, run the Repository Creation Utility to create the database schema to manage the automated processing, using the appropriate file for your operating system:
l
For Windows, run rcu.bat For UNIX, run ./rcu
Note: Ignore any messages about using a non-AL32UTF8 database.
The new database schema is required for Metadata Services and does not reflect the Profitability and Cost Management model database. For detailed information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility User's Guide 11g.
7 8
On the Database Connection Details page, specify a user with DBA or SYSDBA privileges, such as sys. On the Select Components page, perform these tasks:
l
Expand AS Common Schemas and select Metadata Services, if it is not already selected. Make a note of the Schema Owner names for all the components because you need them to configure Oracle Web Services Manager.
On the Schema Passwords page, Oracle recommends that you select Use same passwords for all schemas. Make a note of this password.
10 On the Summary page, review the selections, and then click Create. 11 On the Completion Summary page, click Close.
For additional information on the Repository Creation Utility, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility Users Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1.1).
Configuration Sequence
In general, for a new installation, Oracle recommends that for each machine, you configure all EPM System products at the same time for the products installed on the machine. By default, EPM System Configurator preselects all products for you. Foundation Services must be installed and configured for other products to configure successfully. The configuration sequence for various deployment scenarios is described in the following sections. Configuration sequence notes:
l
If you are configuring Financial Close Management, there is a required configuration sequence. See Financial Close Management Installation and Configuration Prerequisites and Roadmap on page 86. By default, EPM System Configurator uses the same database for all products that you configure at one time. To use a different database for each product, perform the Configure
Database task separately for each product. In some cases you might want to configure separate databases for products. Configure the Web server last.
l
You must perform the Configure Database task at the same time as or before you perform the Deploy to Application Server task. If you have already configured the Web server, and you configure any additional products, you must run EPM System Configurator again and select the Foundation Services Configure Web Server task. Then, restart the Web server and EPM Workspace. Automatic Web server configuration with EPM System Configurator is supported only for the Oracle HTTP Server installed by EPM System Installer or IIS.
Configure the following products after you have completed all the configuration tasks using EPM System Configurator:
l
Data Relationship Management. See the Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management Installation Guide. FDM. The tasks in EPM System Configurator register the FDM Web server in the Shared Services Registry. The remainder of the configuration is done in FDM. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management Configuration Guide.
Note: If you want to install Essbase in standalone mode (not using Foundation Services), you
can skip the installation for Foundation Services Web applications. However, you must still configure the Shared Services Registry. To configure the Shared Services Registry without installing Foundation Services, you run EPM System Configurator from the command line using the forceRegistry option. See Setting Up Essbase in Standalone Mode on page 171.
Configuration Sequence in a Single-Machine Environment

Oracle recommends that for each machine, you configure all EPM System products at the same time for the products installed on the machine. If you are configuring multiple products on a machine at the same time, EPM System Configurator configures them in the correct order. Foundation Services must be installed and configured for other products to configure successfully. Configuration sequence notes:
l
By default, EPM System Configurator uses the same database for all products that you configure at one time. To use a different database for each product, perform the Configure Database task separately for each product. In some cases you might want to configure separate databases for products. In this case, configure Foundation Services first and configure the Web server last. If you have already configured the Web server, and you configure any additional products, you must run EPM System Configurator again and select the Foundation Services Configure Web Server task. Then, restart the Web server and EPM Workspace.
Configuration Sequence 121
Typically, if you are installing all products on a single machine, for the first product you configure, you create a new EPM Oracle instance. For each product after that, you modify the existing instance. If you are configuring Financial Close Management, there is a required configuration sequence. See Financial Close Management Installation and Configuration Prerequisites and Roadmap on page 86.
After you have completed configuration, perform the postconfiguration tasks required for your product. See Chapter 7, Performing Postconfiguration Tasks.
Configuration Sequence in a Distributed Environment

Configuration in a distributed environment notes:
l
Configure Foundation Services first. Foundation Services must be installed and configured for other products to configure successfully. To configure Foundation Services, select the Foundation tasks on the Task Selection page of EPM System Configurator: Configure Common Settings, Configure Database, Configure Oracle Configuration Manager, and Deploy to Application Server. Then, for each machine in the deployment, configure all EPM System products at one time for the products installed on the machine. Configure the Web server last. (Select the Foundation Services Configure Web Server task.) Then, restart the Web server and EPM Workspace.
Tip: If you are configuring one product at a time and want to validate each product as you
go, configure the Web server after you configure each product. Then, restart the Web server and EPM Workspace.
l
Complete the configuration on each machine and close EPM System Configurator before launching EPM System Configurator on another machine. When you configure in a distributed environment, you must configure the Shared Services database on every machine. On the first machine, you are setting up the Shared Services Registry. For configurations on subsequent machines, choose Connect to a previously configured Shared Services database. In this case, you are letting the machine know the location of the Shared Services Registry. Create a new EPM Oracle instance on each machine. Oracle HTTP Server is installed with Foundation Services. It is also installed on the Essbase Server machine. In a distributed environment, configure only one instance of Oracle HTTP Server. However, if you are using more than one Web server in a deployment for load balancing and failover, configure the Web server on every machine on which you want to run the Web server. If you have already configured the Web server, and you configure any additional products, you must run EPM System Configurator again and select the Foundation Services Configure Web Server task. Then, restart the Web server and EPM Workspace.
Deploy all EPM System products to a single domain. The only exception to this requirement is documented in Deploying Financial Reporting and Web Analysis on Windows for use with Financial Management on page 241. If you want to cluster Web applications for load balancing, see Clustering Web Applications on page 124. For information on configuring Reporting and Analysis in a distributed environment, see Chapter 6, Reporting and Analysis Services Clustering. in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System High Availability and Disaster Recovery Guide.
After you have completed configuration, perform the postconfiguration tasks required for your product. See Chapter 7, Performing Postconfiguration Tasks. See the following sections for information about EPM System clustering you can perform during configuration with EPM System Configurator. For other types of clustering, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System High Availability and Disaster Recovery Guide. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation Start Here for sample deployment diagrams to help plan your deployment.
Maintenance Release Configuration Sequence

When you are applying the maintenance release to move from Release 11.1.2.0 to Release 11.1.2.1, when you launch EPM System Configurator, note the following:
l
On the Task Selection page, all required configuration tasks are preselected. You must complete all Pending tasks in EPM System Configurator.
Upgrade Configuration Sequence

Upgrade Note! See Upgrading Checklist on page 175 for details about the configuration sequence when you are upgrading from an earlier release of EPM System products. For more information about configuration when you are upgrading, see Configuring EPM System Products in an Upgrade on page 195.

Clustering Web Applications Clustering Essbase Server Clustering Financial Management Servers Load Balancing Financial Management or FDM Web Applications on IIS
Clustering Web Applications

You can cluster EPM System Web applications during configuration with EPM System Configurator. Use the following general configuration sequence. This procedure assumes that the Oracle HTTP Server installed by EPM System Installer is the logical host. Before you cluster Web applications, ensure that you meet the installation prerequisites for installing in a distributed environment. See Installing EPM System Products in a Distributed Environment on page 93.
To cluster EPM System Web applications during configuration with EPM System
Configurator:
1 2
Install EPM System Web applications on each machine in your environment. Configure the Web application on the first machine, selecting Deploy to Application Server on the EPM System Configurator Task Selection page.
During deployment, EPM System Configurator creates a cluster for each managed server in WebLogic.
Configure the Web application on the next machine, selecting Deploy to Application Server on the EPM System Configurator Task Selection page. On the Application Server deployment page, click Setup, and then enter details on the Advanced Setup page. See Advanced Setup on page 139.
During deployment, EPM System Configurator adds the server to the cluster in WebLogic. Repeat this step for any additional machines in the deployment.
Configure the Web server last, selecting Configure Web Server from the Foundation tasks on the EPM System Configurator Task Selection page. Then, restart the Web server and EPM Workspace.
Considerations about clustering Web applications:

l
EPM System Configurator configures a cluster for each managed server. You should have only one cluster for each EPM System product. Note that EPM System Configurator creates a cluster for each managed server. For clustering Financial Management servers, see Clustering Financial Management Servers on page 125.
If you are manually deploying Web applications, see (Optional) Clustering Web Applications in a Manual Deployment on page 240 for information on clustering with WebLogic Server.
Clustering Essbase Server

Using EPM System Configurator, you can cluster Essbase Server to provide active-passive failover with write-back capability. Active-passive Essbase failover clusters use the service failover functionality of the Oracle Process Manager and Notification (OPMN) Server. For this release, an active-passive Essbase cluster can contain only two Essbase servers. OPMN stops, starts, and monitors the agent process. Active-passive Essbase clusters do not support load balancing. To configure an active-passive Essbase cluster, during configuration with EPM System Configurator, on the Essbase Server Configuration page, click or select Set up Cluster and enter the cluster details. See Setting Up Essbase Clusters on page 153. As an alternative to active-passive failover, for information about active-active clustering using Provider Services, see Essbase Clustering and Failover in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System High Availability and Disaster Recovery Guide. You can implement active-passive failover using EPM System Configurator, or active-active failover using Provider Services, but not both.
Clustering Financial Management Servers

The following procedure is an overview of the recommended process for adding servers to the Financial Management environment, defining clusters, and adding servers to the clusters.
Note: EPM System Configurator does not dynamically resolve the list of newly registered
Financial Management servers clusters. You must restart EPM System Configurator before registering remote servers/clusters.
To cluster servers in your Financial Management environment:

1 2 3 4 5
After you install Financial Management on a new server or servers, run EPM System Configurator on all new servers and select the Configure Application Server task. Run EPM System Configurator on any one application server and select the Configure Application Cluster task to define clusters and to add servers to or remove servers from clusters. Run EPM System Configurator on any application or Web server and select the Register Application Servers/Cluster task. Restart the Foundation Services Web application and the Web server. In EPM Workspace, register each application against the preferred cluster. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management Administrator's Guide.
About Clustering 125
Load Balancing Financial Management or FDM Web Applications on IIS

You can configure Oracle HTTP Server to provide load balancing support to two or more Financial Management or FDM Web applications. You set up a load balancer in front of the Web server using EPM System Configurator.
To set up Oracle HTTP Server as a load balancer for Financial Management or FDM Web
applications:
1 2 3 4
Install EPM System products including Financial Management or FDM Web applications on two or more machines. Configure EPM System products using EPM System Configurator using the sequence described in Configuration Sequence in a Distributed Environment on page 122. Configure Financial Management and FDM on each machine in the environment. On one machine, select Update Logical Addresses for Web Applications from the Foundation tasks and for Host, enter the URL of the load balancer or Oracle HTTP Server.
You need to perform this task on only one machine in the environment.
Configure the Web server last. (Select Configure Web Server from the Foundation tasks.) Then, restart the Web server and EPM Workspace.
Configuring Products in an SSL-Enabled Environment

If you are configuring EPM System products for SSL, the configuration sequence and selections that you make during configuration depend on the type of SSL implementation you choose. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide for more information. EPM System supports the following types of SSL configuration:
l
Full SSL Deployment (including data access) SSL Terminating at the Web Server SSL Accelerators (Off-loading) Two-way SSL
Note: Essbase supports only one-way SSL using self-signed certificates by default. Using default
certificates is recommended for use only in a test environment. Oracle recommends that you use certificates from well-known third party CAs in a production environment. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide for details.
Configuring Products for Manual Deployment

If you plan to manually deploy EPM System Web applications, launch EPM System Configurator with the /configtool-manual.bat|.sh command. Perform required configuration tasks
except for the Deploy to Application Server task and the Configure Web Server task. Then, perform the steps outlined in Chapter 6, Manually Deploying EPM System Web Applications.
Product Configuration Task Summary

The following tables summarize the configuration tasks for each product. All products are automatically registered with Shared Services during configuration. EPM System Configurator displays the Configure Common Settings page once on each machine that you configure. EPM System Configurator displays the Configure Oracle Configuration Manager page on the first machine that you configure. Clients do not require configuration and are not included in these tables.

Configure Essbase Server

Specify the configuration information for Essbase Server, or click or select Next to accept the
default settings. In general, Oracle recommends that you keep the default settings. However, if you are upgrading from an earlier release of Essbase, for Full path to application location (ARBORPATH), specify the existing location or the replicated location of the Essbase application directory. The default location might not be correct.
Note: Oracle HTTP Server is installed with Foundation Services. It is also installed on the Essbase
Server machine. In a distributed environment, configure only one instance of Oracle HTTP Server, the one on the Foundation Services machine. Using automatic configuration with EPM System Configurator, you can configure only the 32bit version of Essbase on 32-bit systems and the 64-bit version of Essbase on 64-bit systems. If required, you can manually configure 32-bit Essbase client or server on a 64-bit machine. See Appendix C, Additional Essbase Configuration.. For information about configuring an additional instance of Essbase Server, see Configuring and Starting Additional Instances of Essbase Server on page 154. During configuration, if you do not select Essbase in Standalone mode, EPM System Configurator automatically registers Essbase with Shared Services and writes the Shared Services connection information to essbase.cfg. In addition, it specifies environment variables in a file used to launch Essbase Server.
The following table describes the configuration options for Essbase Server.
Table 27
Essbase Server Configuration Description Enter a name for this instance of Essbase. Click or select Set up Cluster to create a cluster to provide active-passive Essbase failover support with write-back capabilities. You can include only two instances in a cluster. See Setting Up Essbase Clusters on page 153. For each instance of Essbase that you configure, select Set up Cluster. When you configure the first instance of Essbase on the first machine, you define the cluster. When you configure the second instance of Essbase on the second machine, you make this Essbase Server join the cluster you created on the first machine. Your Information
EPM System Configurator Fields Essbase Instance Name Set up Cluster
Agent Port Number SSL Agent Port Number Start Port
Accept the default port number on which the Essbase listens for client requests. If you change the default value, enter a port number that is not used by other programs. Specify the SSL port on which Essbase listens for client requests. Accept the default number or enter the first port number on which the Essbase Server listens for client requests. The port value is stored in essbase.cfg.
End Port
Enter the greatest port number that Essbase Server can use to connect. Essbase uses at least two ports for each application. For a large number of applications, you need a larger port range.
Full path to application location (ARBORPATH)
The location for applications. Note: Previous versions of Essbase used ARBORPATH to refer to the installation location. If you are setting up an Essbase cluster, the application location must be a shared drive. When you configure the second machine in the cluster, the location must match the location you specified for the first machine in the cluster. Upgrade Note! If you are upgrading from an earlier release of Essbase, specify the existing location or the replicated location of the Essbase application directory. The default location might not be correct.
EPM System Configurator Fields Set the language to be used by Essbase (ESSLANG)
Description The ESSLANG variable is a locale definition. For example, to support American English, set ESSLANG to English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary. Based on the value you specify, EPM System Configurator updates setEssbaseEnv.bat (in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/bin) with the ESSLANG value and Essbase uses this value. Verify the operating system locale setting on your computer and select the matching ESSLANG value. The ESSLANG setting for a computer must agree with the locale setting of the computers operating system. In addition, on a Windows machine, the ESSLANG value and the system locale must match the language of the Planning application that you plan to take offline. You must choose the correct ESSLANG setting for Essbase products to start successfully. The ESSLANG setting can affect the function of applications and databases. On Windows, if ESSLANG is already set on the computer (for example, if you have already installed Essbase), the current value is selected by default. On UNIX platforms, the ESSLANG setting defaults to English (Latin I) regardless of the setting in the operating system. For more details about ESSLANG, see ESSLANG Variable on page 152. For the full list of supported ESSLANG values, see Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
Your Information
Deploy Essbase in standalone mode
Select to use legacy security for Essbase Server instead of Shared Services security. This option is not available if you use the -forceRegistry option to start EPM System Configurator.
ESSLANG Variable
Each Essbase Server installation requires that you set an ESSLANG value. See the topic on managing file encoding in the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide. The default value for ESSLANG is English (Latin1). For examples of ESSLANG values for non-English languages, see the list of supported locales in the Unicode-mode applications topic in the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide. During configuration, EPM System Configurator writes the ESSLANG value that you specify to the Shared Services Registry and to the launch file used to start Essbase. For Administration Services and Provider Services, there is no prompt to specify the ESSLANG value; it is set to the default value English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary.
Managing ESSLANG Settings

The ESSLANG environment variable on the Essbase Server computer must retain the locale value of an application for as long as that application is in use.
Note: If the ESSLANG variable is changed after applications are created on an Essbase Server
computer, those applications cannot be started.
Clients also use locales. ESSLANG variables are optional for clients. EPM System Configurator sets the Essbase client ESSLANG environment variable during configuration, and defaults it to English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary. Client and Essbase locale values must be the same for non-Unicode-mode clients and applications. For Unicode-mode applications, client and Essbase locale values can be different. To avoid possible database corruption, the ESSLANG locale specification must be the same on client and Essbase Server in the following situations:
l
The client is not Unicode-enabled. A Unicode-enabled client saves an outline over an existing outline on a version of the Essbase Server that is not Unicode-enabled. A Unicode-enabled client saves an outline to a non-Unicode application on a Unicodeenabled Essbase Server.
The ESSLANG locale specifications on clients and Essbase Server computers can be different when a Unicode-enabled client views and updates an outline belonging to a Unicode-mode application. For products that use Essbase RTC in a non-English environment, you must set ESSLANG manually on the client.
Setting Up Essbase Clusters

You can cluster Essbase Server to provide active-passive failover with write-back capability. An Essbase cluster can contain only two Essbase servers. To install an additional Essbase server, install an additional instance of Essbase on another machine. On the first machine, when you configure Essbase Server, click Set up Cluster to define the cluster. On the second machine, when you configure Essbase Server, click Set up Cluster to make this Essbase Server join the cluster you created on the first machine.
To set up an Essbase cluster:

1
For the first instance of Essbase Server, on the Essbase Server Configuration page of EPM System Configurator, click or select Set up Cluster and specify the information for the Essbase cluster on the Set up Cluster page. Repeat the steps on the second machine for the second instance of Essbase Server.
During cluster setup on the second machine, EPM System Configurator updates essbase.cfg to specify failovermode=true. The following table describes options for configuring Essbase for failover.
EPM System Configurator Fields Select cluster Description Select New to create a new cluster to which to add an Essbase Server. Or, to add an Essbase Server to an existing cluster, select the cluster name from the list. Your Information
EPM System Configurator Fields Cluster Name
Description If you select New, specify the name of the cluster. The Essbase cluster name must be unique in a deployment environment. It cannot contain special characters or spaces.
Your Information
Note the following information about Essbase clusters:

l
An Essbase cluster can contain only two Essbase servers. The ARBORPATH and application location must be the same for both servers. When you set up an Essbase cluster, the application location must be a shared drive. The location must reside on a file system that all Essbase servers in the cluster can reach. Essbase supports the following types of shared drives:
m
Any SAN storage device with a shared disk file system supported on the installation platform Any NAS device over a supported network protocol
Oracle recommends SAN or a fast NAS device such as NetApp filers because of reduced I/ O latency and failover times.
l
If you are adding the second Essbase Server to a cluster, EPM System Configurator changes its ARBORPATH application location to that of the first Essbase Server. If you have been working in a nonclustered environment and want to change to a clustered environment, and the Essbase applications are not in a shared location, you must migrate the applications to a shared location. See Copying or Migrating Applications in the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
When you are using Essbase in a clustered environment, you must perform additional steps to set up Essbase failover on both nodes of the cluster. See Setting Up Active-Passive Essbase Clusters on page 248. As an alternative to active-passive clustering using OPMN, you can set up active-active clustering using Provider Services. See Essbase Clustering and Failover in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System High Availability and Disaster Recovery Guide.
Configuring and Starting Additional Instances of Essbase Server

You can install Essbase Server once and configure multiple additional instances. Configure the first instance as usual using EPM System Configurator. For subsequent instances, specify a new instance during configuration. For subsequent instances, you can configure only the 32-bit version of Essbase on 32-bit systems and the 64-bit version of Essbase on 64-bit systems. Configuring a 32-bit version of Essbase on a 64-bit system is not supported when you configure additional instances.
To configure an additional instance of Essbase Server on the same machine:

1 2
After you have configured the first instance of Essbase Server, launch EPM System Configurator on the same machine. On the Configure a New or Existing EPM Oracle Instance page, specify the location for the additional instance of Essbase Server.
The default location for a subsequent instance is MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/ epmsystemN, where N is the number of the instance.
On the Essbase Server Configuration page, specify the following information:

l
A unique Essbase instance name A unique agent port number A unique SSL agent port number A unique port range. The range of ports used by one Essbase Server instance must not overlap the range of ports used by another instance or any other products. The port numbers for the additional instance of Essbase Server are stored in the essbase.cfg file for this installation.
For ARBORPATH: If this instance is in a cluster with another instance, this instance must have the same application location as the first instance. If this instance is not in a cluster with another instance the ARBORPATH can be different.
4 5
Complete configuration with EPM System Configurator. To prevent a port conflict in OPMN, you must manually edit opmn.xml. See Modifying OPMN for an Additional Instance of Essbase on page 250.
Each instance of Essbase Server has its own OPMN and its own startup script. To start an additional instance of Essbase Server, use the startEssbase.bat|.sh script for this instance, in EssbaseInstanceLocation/bin. Each instance has its own log file in EssbaseInstanceLocation/diagnostics/logs/ essbase.

Performing Silent Configurations

Silent configurations automate the configuration process so that you can configure EPM System products on multiple computers without manually specifying configuration settings on each machine. To enable silent configurations, record your configuration settings in a response file. You can then run a silent configuration from the command line, using the configuration options that were saved in the response file.
Performing Silent Configurations 169
Note: If you are performing a silent configuration using Remote Desktop, run it using an admin console session. (Launch Remote Desktop using mstsc /admin).
To record configuration settings and run a silent configuration:

1 2
Navigate to the directory that contains EPM System Configurator. By default, the directory is EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/version_number. From a command line prompt, enter configtool.bat record filename or ./ configtool.sh record filename, where filename includes an absolute path or file name.
The file is saved in XML format, but you need not save the file with a .xml extension. EPM System Configurator launches. If you do not specify a file name, EPM System Configurator creates the file for you:
EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/version_number/configResponse.xml.
Proceed through the EPM System Configurator, specifying the options that you want to record.
Note: When you are recording silent configurations, you can proceed through EPM System
Configurator only one time. (You cannot select go back to the Product Selection page to continue with more configuration tasks.) If you return to the Task Selection page, the response file is rerecorded. Configuration options are recorded in the response file, which is in XML format. Passwords are saved in encrypted format in the response file. You are now ready to configure products in silent mode.
4 5
Copy the response file to the machine on which you configure products. You can also copy the file to a network drive that is accessible from the machines you want to configure. From the command line, enter a command:
configtool.bat -silent filename or ./configtool.sh -silent filename.
The configuration runs in the background. You can also record configuration settings from within EPM System Configurator. To record configuration settings, during configuration, on the Configuration Confirmation page, click or select Save, browse to a location, specify a file name, and click or select Save. The file is saved in the same format as for silent configurations. Upgrade Note! Silent response files are not compatible between earlier releases and Release 11.1.2.1. If you created silent response files for use with any earlier release of EPM System, you must re-create them for use with EPM System Release 11.1.2.1. You can modify the response file later to change configuration options.
Tip: To change the password later, open the response file in a text editor, enter the password in clear text, and change the <encrypted> parameter to false. The next time you perform
a silent configuration using this response file, EPM System Configurator encrypts the password and reverts the <encrypted> parameter to true.
Setting Up Essbase in Standalone Mode

If you want to install Essbase in standalone mode (not using Shared Services), you can skip the installation for Foundation Services Web applications. However, you must still configure the Shared Services Registry database. To configure the Shared Services Registry database without installing Foundation Services Web applications, you run EPM System Configurator from the command line using the forceRegistry option. This option forces the Shared Services and Registry Database Configuration page to display during configuration so you can enter database details for the Shared Services Registry. EPM System Configurator populates the database with tables for the Shared Services Registry, but not for Foundation Services.
To configure the Shared Services Registry without installing Foundation Services Web
applications:
Start EPM System Configurator from the command line, including the forceRegistry option:
l
From a Windows console, change to EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/ version_number, and then enter configtool.bat forceRegistry. On UNIX, change to EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/version_number and then enter ./configtool.sh forceRegistry.
The forceRegistry option also works with EPM System Configurator in silent mode and in console mode; for example:
configtool.bat|.sh -forceRegistry -record configtool.bat|.sh -forceRegistry -silent configtool.bat|.sh -forceRegistry -console
Proceed through the configuration, entering the database details for the Shared Services Registry.
What Happens During Configuration

During product configuration, EPM System Configurator completes these actions:
l
Performs the configuration tasks that you selected Configures help for products in EPM Workspace Configures each product to start as a Windows service, if you select this option on the Configure Common Settings page during configuration Creates a default Shared Services Administrator role in Native Directory when you configure Foundation Services. This is the only preprovisioned user created. Subsequently, when you
Setting Up Essbase in Standalone Mode 171
use EPM System Configurator to register products with Shared Services, the Shared Services Administrator role is provisioned with the product administrator role.
Troubleshooting Configuration
Configuration results are noted in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/logs/config/ configtool_summary.log. If you encounter errors, perform these tasks:
l
Configure products individually. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Troubleshooting Guide for information about configuration checks, debugging using logs, troubleshooting methodology, and solutions to common configuration issues.
Tip: EPM System Configurator provides a script, ziplogs, in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin.
You can run this script to provide files to Support for troubleshooting installation and configuration issues. This tool collects all log files, including logs for installation, configuration, and validation and registry reports if you have used those tools, and saves them in ZIP file in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/ziplogs.

This chapter describes the upgrade process for EPM System products. To upgrade EPM System products to Release 11.1.2.1, you deploy Release 11.1.2.1 software in a new location and move applications and data to the new deployment. When you upgrade, you must install and configure using the same user that was used to install and configure the earlier release.
Note: Upgrading does not apply to moving from Release 11.1.2.0 to Release 11.1.2.1. Use the
Apply Maintenance Release option in EPM System Installer instead. See Maintenance Release Installation Checklist on page 21. When you apply the maintenance release, you need not follow the upgrade procedures described in this chapter.
173
Note: For most clients, if you are upgrading from an earlier release of an EPM System client
component, you must uninstall the earlier release before you install the new release. No configuration is required. If you have an earlier release of Financial Reporting Studio, you must uninstall it and stop the Financial Reporting Print Server service if it is running before installing the new version. See Installing EPM System Clients on page 108.
About Upgrading
When using EPM System products, the term upgrade is defined as follows: The process of deploying a new software release and moving applications, data, and provisioning information from the earlier deployment to the new deployment. To upgrade EPM System products to Release 11.1.2.1, you install and configure Release 11.1.2.1 software in a new location and move applications and data to the new deployment environment. There are two supported scenarios:
l
Install EPM System on a new machine or machines. You can either reuse the existing database and data, or replicate the database and data to a new machine. If you are upgrading to a new machine, you must upgrade to a platform of the same type. For example, if the earlier release was on a Windows machine, you must upgrade to a Windows machine. If the earlier release was on a Linux machine, you must upgrade to a Linux machine.
Install EPM System on the existing machine or machines (Oracle recommends that you install in a new installation location). You can either reuse the existing database and data, or replicate the database and data to a new machine.
Caution!
If you want to maintain your earlier release environment, you must install on a new machine and you must replicate data.
Logs related to upgrading are located in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/logs/ upgrades. For more information about logging during upgrades, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Troubleshooting Guide.
Supported Upgrade Paths

You can upgrade to EPM System Release 11.1.2.1 from the following releases:
Table 28
Supported upgrade paths To 11.1.2.1
Release Upgrade Path From 11.1.1.3.x
174 Upgrading EPM System Products

To 11.1.2.1
11.1.2.1 If you are upgrading from a release earlier than 9.2.1.x, you must first upgrade to a supported release and then upgrade to release 11.1.2.1. For upgrade procedures for the earlier release, see the product installation guides for the interim release that you are upgrading to. See Upgrading from an Environment with Multiple Releases on page 233.
An environment that includes multiple releases, which can include an environment with one instance of Shared Services or an environment with two instances of Shared Services
Note: If you are starting from Release 9.2.0.3+, 9.3.0.x, 9.3.1.x (except for Essbase Release
9.3.1.4.1, 9.3.1.5, 9.3.1.6, and 9.3.1.7), or 11.1.1.x, Oracle recommends that you upgrade to Release 11.1.1.3 as your interim release. If you are starting from an earlier release, Oracle recommends that you upgrade to the highest level release that directly supports upgrade from your starting release. Security Synchronization between Essbase and Shared Services was removed in Essbase Release 9.3, starting with release 9.3.1.4.1. Essbase and Shared Services Release 11.1.1.3, however, still synchronize security information. For this reason, if you are using Essbase Release 9.3.1.4.1, 9.3.1.5, 9.3.1.6, or 9.3.1.7, you must first upgrade all products to Release 9.3.3, instead of Release 11.1.1.3.
Upgrading Checklist
The following table identifies the high-level tasks that you perform to upgrade EPM System products. You must perform tasks in this order and you must complete the entire checklist. The process described in this chapter assumes that you upgrade one product at a time and indicates where a sequence is required.
Note: If you are upgrading from an environment with multiple releases, see Upgrading from
an Environment with Multiple Releases on page 233.

Backing Up the Earlier Release Performing Product-Specific Prerequisites
Backing Up the Earlier Release

Before you proceed with an upgrade, ensure that you have backed up information from the earlier release including databases, applications, and other files. For instructions:
l
For Release 9.2.1 and Release 9.3.3 products, see the earlier product release installation guide. For Release 11.1.1.3 products, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Backup and Recovery Guide.
Performing Product-Specific Prerequisites

Ensure that you meet the following product-specific requirements:
l
If Shared Services was configured with NTLM as a provider, you must migrate users before you upgrade. See Migrating Users and Groups Across User Directories in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide. Performance Management Architect - If you are upgrading from Release 9.3.3, before you upgrade Performance Management Architect, allow enough space for the database to double in size. Strategic Finance - If you are using Strategic Finance with the built-in NTLM security in your earlier release, before upgrading you need to perform an additional task. Using the earlier release, either move existing Strategic Finance built-in NTLM users to Active Directory or native users in Shared Services before upgrading Strategic Finance. See the
Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide and Transferring Existing Strategic Finance Users to Shared Services on page 230.
l
For ERP Integrator, for any data rules that were not run in Release 11.1.1.3, specify a default value for the scenario dimension. If you do not specify a default value, these rules are not accessible in the new release.
When you are done with this step, return to the Upgrading Checklist on page 175.
Downloading and Preparing Files for Installation

Download files for Release 11.1.2.1 and extract the zip file contents. See Chapter 2, Preparing for Installation. When you are done with this step, return to the Upgrading Checklist on page 175.
Preparing Data for Upgrading

Subtopics
l l l l
Exporting Shared Services Data from the Earlier Release Copying Files for Temporary Use During Configuration Replicating Data Replicating the Databases (Optional)
Exporting Shared Services Data from the Earlier Release

To use data from the earlier release of Shared Services, you export the data using a utility, and then copy the resulting file to the machine hosting the new installation. During configuration, EPM System Configurator extracts the necessary data for use in the current release.
Note: The database, Shared Services, and OpenLDAP must be running before you perform this
procedure.
Note: Before you migrate Shared Services data, ensure that the admin user is provisioned for
the Essbase Server. You can remove this provisioning after the upgrade is complete.
To export Shared Services data from the earlier release:

1
If you have not already done so, download files for Release 11.1.2.1 and extract the contents of the System Installer ZIP file.
If you have not yet downloaded the System Installer ZIP file (Oracle Hyperion
Enterprise Performance Management System Installer, Fusion Edition
Downloading and Preparing Files for Installation 181
Release 11.1.2.1 for platformName), download it from E-Delivery. See Chapter 2,
Preparing for Installation.

In the SystemInstallerExtractLocation/Migration directory, look for HSSMigrate.zip and extract the contents to the HYPERION_HOME directory on the machine hosting the earlier release of Shared Services. From a command line, run the following script from the HYPERION_HOME/Migrate directory:
hssmigrate.bat|sh
The utility searches for Shared Services configuration files and prompts you for confirmation.
Tip: To ensure successful export of Lifecycle Management data from Release 11.1.1.3 on UNIX, set executable permissions on set_hyphome_servername_1.sh, in $home/.
At the prompt, review the location from which the utility will extract Shared Services configuration files. If the path is correct, press Enter. If the path is not correct, enter 2, specify the correct path, and then press Enter.
Tip: The path you enter should be the path for the CSS.xml, Domain.xml, and WorkflowEngine.properties files, for example: HYPERION_HOME/AppServer/ InstalledApps/WebServerName/WebServerVersion.
The utility creates a file, hssmigratedata.zip, in HYPERION_HOME/migrate, that stores the Shared Services data.
Tip: If the utility reports errors, review the logs in HYPERION_HOME/migrate/logs, correct any errors, and then re-run the utility to generate a new ZIP file that replaces
the existing file.
Copy hssmigratedata.zip from HYPERION_HOME/migrate to the machine on which you plan to host the new release of Shared Services, or make the file available on a shared drive. (If you are installing on the same machine, make sure the location is outside of HYPERION_HOME.)
You specify the location during configuration.
In a distributed installation, for some products, if products will be installed on a machine or machines other than the machine hosting Shared Services, copy hssmigratedata.zip to each machine and unzip the contents to the MIDDLEWARE_HOME directory.
This step is required for Essbase Studio, Web Analysis, Administration Services if you are also using Business Rules, and Performance Scorecard. Create the MIDDLEWARE_HOME directory if it does not exist. You must specify this MIDDLEWARE_HOME during installation.
Tip: If you do not want to create the MIDDLEWARE_HOME directory in advance, you can
create a temporary folder to store these files. After installation, unzip hssmigratedata.zip to the MIDDLEWARE_HOME created by EPM System Installer. For more information about what happens during Shared Services data import, see What Happens During Shared Services Data Import on page 201.
Copying Files for Temporary Use During Configuration

If you are upgrading Provider Services, Administration Services, or Planning, some files from the earlier release of EPM System are required during configuration of the new release. You must make the files available on a shared drive or copy them from the earlier release installation to the machine hosting the new installation for use during configuration with EPM System Configurator. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, this data is moved to the Shared Services Registry and the files are no longer used.
To copy the files required for configuration:

1
On the machine hosting the new release installation, prepare a temporary location to store files from the earlier release.
During configuration, you specify the location of these files.
Copy the following files from the earlier release installation to the directory that you just created:
Preparing Data for Upgrading 183
Table 31
Files for Temporary Use During Configuration Files to Replicate If you are upgrading from Release 9.3.3 or Release 11.1.1.3, copy all Provider Services files to a single folder, for example: ProviderServicesDataLocation/ domain.db essbase.properties If you are upgrading from Release 9.2.1, the directory structure that you copy to must be: ProviderServicesDataLocation/ ahas/domain.db svp/domain.db essbase.properties svp.properties Copy the following files:

Smart slice definitions (for upgrades from Release 11.1.1.3 only) located in HYPERION_HOME/products/ Essbase/aps/data/cubeviews. Copy the entire cubeviews directory structure.
For upgrade from Release 9.2.1, during configuration, EPM System Configurator merges the contents of the two domain.db files if both files exist and the contents of essbase.properties and svp.properties if both files exist.
Product Administration Services and Business Rules
Files to Replicate
l
Copy the entire storage directory structure located at: HYPERION_HOME/products/Essbase/eas/storage. For Release 9.3.3, the directory structure is HYPERION_HOME/AnalyticAdministrationServices/ storage.
HBRServer.properties (for Release 9.2.1 and 9.3.3 using Planning); the default location is HYPERION_ HOME/products/Essbase/eas. For Release 9.3.3, the directory structure is HYPERION_HOME/ AnalyticAdministrationServices. Copy the file to MIDDLEWARE_HOME/EPMData/eas on the new machine, which in a default installation is c:/oracle/middleware/EPMData/eas.
You must specify this MIDDLEWARE_HOME during installation. Tip: If you do not want to create the MIDDLEWARE_HOME directory in advance, you can create a temporary folder to store the file. After installation, copy HBRServer.properties to the MIDDLEWARE_HOME created by EPM System Installer. For Release 11.1.1.3 using Planning, to replicate HBRServer.properties, perform the following steps: 1. On the source machine hosting Release 11.1.1.3, use Lifecycle Management to export Business Rules Serverrelated properties (HBRServer.properties): In the Shared Services Console, go to Application Groups, then Foundation, then Deployment Metadata, select Essbase under Shared Services Registry and perform a migration to the file system by clicking Define Migration. The data is exported to: HYPERION_HOME/common/import_export/admin@Native Directory/
Export_File_Name.
2. Copy the exported folder structure (info and resource folders) to the target machine hosting Release 11.1. 2.1 to any folder, such as MIDDLEWARE_HOME/EPMData/eas. Oracle recommends that you copy the exported folder structure under MIDDLEWARE_HOME/EPMData/eas along with the storage folder required for the Administration Services upgrade. You must specify this MIDDLEWARE_HOME during installation. Tip: If you do not want to create the MIDDLEWARE_HOME directory in advance, you can create a temporary folder to store the file. After installation, copy HBRServer.properties to the MIDDLEWARE_HOME created by EPM System Installer. Make note of the location to which you replicate the data. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, you enter this location on the Import Data From Earlier Release configuration page for Administration Services. Reporting and Analysis
server.xml, located in:
l
Release 9.2.1 and 9.3.3: BIPLUS_HOME/common/config, where BIPLUS_HOME by default is HYPERION_

HOME/BIPlus HYPERION_HOME/common/workspacert/9.5.0.0/common/config/dynamic/UUID, where UUID is the
dynamic ID for the folder. If there is more than one UUID folder, retrieve server.xml from the folder that contains irdas_default.
txt.
Make note of the location to which you replicate the data. During postconfiguration tasks for Interactive Reporting, you specify the location of this file when you import DAS data sources.
Product Planning
Files to Replicate
HspJSHome.properties (for Release 9.2.1 only, in HYPERION_HOME/AppServer/InstalledApps/Web_ application_server/HyperionPlanning/WEB-INF/classes)
Note: The file required for Planning Release 9.2.1 must be copied to MIDDLEWARE_HOME/EPMData/planning, which in a default installation is c:/oracle/middleware/EPMData/planning. You are not prompted for this location during configuration. Create the MIDDLEWARE_HOME directory if it does not exist. You must specify this MIDDLEWARE_HOME during installation. Tip: If you do not want to create the MIDDLEWARE_HOME directory in advance, you can create a temporary folder to store the file. After installation, copy HspJSHome.properties to the MIDDLEWARE_HOME created by EPM System Installer.
Replicating Data
When you upgrade to EPM System Release 11.1.2.1, you use the data from the earlier release in one of two ways:
l
You can replicate the data to a new machine, making it accessible from the new installation environment. For example, use this option if you want to maintain the earlier release environment. During product configuration with EPM System Configurator, you specify the new, replicated location for data when you configure the product data directory locations.
Note: Oracle recommends that you replicate data.
You can leave the data on the existing machine, making the drive shareable. If you choose to leave data on the existing machine, you can skip the procedures in this section. During product configuration with EPM System Configurator, you specify the existing data location. You can choose this option only if you no longer need to maintain the earlier release environment.
Note: For Essbase, you can choose this option only if the data is on a supported type of
shared drive, such as a SAN drive.
To replicate product data files:

1
On the shared drive or machine hosting the data for the new release, create directories to store the replicated product data.
Tip: This location is the data storage location for Release 11.1.2.1, so store data in a
meaningful, permanent location. You might choose to specify a location for each product, for example: EPMData/productName. Do not store data in the directory that is to be used as EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE, which in a default installation is Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1. (EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE must be an empty directory.)
Replicate data as noted in the following table for each EPM System component.
During configuration during an upgrade, EPM System Configurator prompts you for the data location.
Table 32
Data to Replicate for Upgrading Data to Replicate Essbase provides a tool to help with replicating data. See Preparing Essbase Data for Upgrading on page 188. In addition, note the following: If you are installing this release of Essbase on a new machine, gather additional data from the machine hosting the earlier release installation:
l
Product Essbase
Make a list of the ODBC DSNs defined on the machine so that you can redefine them on the new machine. Perform this step for Essbase and Integration Services. Make a list of JAVA options (ESS_JVM_OPTIONn) that are set on the machine so that you can redefine them on the new machine (either as environment variables (Windows) or through hyperionenv.doc (UNIX)).
Administration Services/ Business Rules
HBRClient.properties; the default location is HYPERION_HOME/products/Essbase/eas. For Release 9.3. 3, the location is HYPERION_HOME/AnalyticAdministrationServices. You must copy the file to EPM_ ORACLE_HOME/products/essbase/eas on the target machine.
Tip: If you have already installed the new release, copy the HBRClient.properties from the source machine over the existing file on the target machine. Essbase Studio For upgrades from Release 11.1.1.3, text files that are used as data sources. In Release 11.1.1.3, these files were stored by default in HYPERION_HOME/products/Essbase/EssbaseStudio/Server/datafiles. Note: Make note of the location to which you replicate the data. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, you enter this location on the Configure Essbase Studio Data File Location configuration page. Reporting and Analysis Data files. By default these files were stored in the following location:
l l
9.2.1 and 9.3.3: BIPLUS_HOME/data/RM1_servername 11.1.1.3: HYPERION_HOME/products/Foundation/workspace/data/RM1_servername
Note: Make note of the location to which you replicate the data. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, you enter this location on the Reporting and Analysis Framework Services configuration page, for Repository Directory. Performance Scorecard Attachment and note files. By default these files were stored in the /attachments and /notes directories in following location:
l
Release 9.2.1: HYPERION_HOME/hps/9.2/AppServer/InstalledApps/WEB_SERVERVERSION/

webappsconf
Release 9.3.3 and 11.1.1.3: HYPERION_HOME/deployments/WEB_SERVER/webappsconf
Note: Make note of the location to which you replicate the data. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, you enter this location on the Performance Scorecard configuration page, for Specify directory to store Performance Scorecard files.

Note: Make note of the location to which you replicate the data files. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, you enter this location on the Strategic Finance configuration page. FDM Data files. For each application, copy the entire data directory structure. To see the location of the source application data: From Workbench client, select Add Application, select the application, click Modify and then note the data location. Repeat for each application. The FDM data directory on the new machine should be a UNC share and should be available to the DCOM user used to configure FDM. This directory structure must be replicated to the new environment if it is not accessible from the new environment. Note: Make note of the location to which you replicate the FDM data directory. During FDM configuration, for each application, you specify the new data directory.
Preparing Essbase Data for Upgrading

The Essbase Staging Tool simplifies preparing data for upgrade. If you need to replicate data, use the following procedure. You must replicate all applications. If you do not want some of the applications in the upgraded environment, delete them after completing the entire upgrade process. Notes:
l
The Essbase Server must be running before you launch the Essbase Staging Tool. The tool shuts down the Server as needed. To ensure data integrity, disable logins and make sure no users are active before starting the Staging Tool. If the ESSLANG environment variable is not set on the machine on which you are running Staging Tool, the Staging Tool sets the value to English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary. The ESSLANG value for the Staging Tool should be same as the ESSLANG value for the Essbase Server. On a 64-bit Linux system, before you run the Staging Tool, install the 64-bit version of the libaio package version 0.3.105-2 or higher.
If you are upgrading from an earlier release and an application has more than 127 linked reporting objects, perform the following procedure to export linked reporting objects before you run the Staging Tool.
Tip: To determine how many linked reporting objects an application has, use the MAXL command query database DBS-NAME list lro all;, for example, MAXL> query database sample.basic list lro all;.
To export linked reporting objects:

1
On the machine hosting the earlier release of Essbase, export linked reporting objects by backing up the application linked reporting object data to a specified directory by using the following MAXL command:
EXPORT database DBS-NAME LRO to server directory directoryName;
For example:
MAXL> EXPORT database Sample.Basic LRO to server directory V1;
In this example, Sample.Basic LRO data is exported to Sample-Basic-V1 in ARBORPATH/app, where ARBORPATH is the server ARBORPATH.
Delete the linked reporting objects from the earlier release application with the following MAXL command:
ALTER database DBS-NAME delete LRO all;
For example:
MAXL> ALTER database sample.basic delete LRO all;
3 4
Move the application to Release 11.1.2.1 using the Staging Tool, described in the next procedure. Note that you must manually import the linked reporting objects later in the upgrade process.
Tip: If you want to maintain your earlier release environment, reimport the linked reporting
objects on the source system after the upgrade process is complete.
To prepare Essbase data for upgrading perform the following tasks on the machine hosting
the earlier release installation:
Oracle recommends that you perform data validation for Essbase applications:
l
Start Essbase Server. Use the MaxL command alter system resync sss to sync up security information. Use the MaxL command alter database validate against the database. If the validation returns errors, revert to a backup that is free of errors. Stop Essbase Server and back up all application files, database files, and the security file. Restart Essbase Server and then in Administration Services Console, run a full restructure on the database.
Using Administration Services, edit Application Properties for each application (select General then Startup) to ensure that Start application when Essbase Server starts is NOT selected.
You can also view this property for all applications using the MAXL command display application all; to ensure that autostartup is set to FALSE for all applications. (Use the MAXL command alter application DBSName disable autostartup; to turn off the property for each application as needed.)
If you have not already done so, download files for Release 11.1.2.1 and extract the contents of the System Installer ZIP file.
If you have not yet downloaded the System Installer ZIP file, download it from E-Delivery. See Chapter 2, Preparing for Installation. Extract the contents to a directory that does not have spaces in the name.
In the SystemInstallerExtractLocation/Migration directory, look for EssStagingTool.zip and extract the contents to any empty directory (EssStagingToolExtractLocation) on the machine hosting the earlier release of Essbase.
Use the version of the Staging Tool for the platform from which you are upgrading. For example, if you are upgrading from a 32-bit machine to a 64-bit machine, use the 32-bit Staging Tool.
From a command line, run the following script from the EssStagingToolExtractLocation directory:
essStage.bat|sh username [agentPort]
where username is the name of any Essbase user who is an administrator. agentPort is optional and specifies the port on which the Essbase instance is running. The default value is 1423.
When prompted, enter the Administrator password.
The Staging Tool queries Essbase for a list of applications and the disk volumes that are defined, and for ASO applications it queries for a list of table spaces that are defined.
At the prompt, review the list of methods for preparing data for upgrade, and then select a method:
l
Same-named disk volumes, table spaces, and ARBORPATH on source and target. This option is the fastest. If you select this method, the system you are upgrading on must use the same disk volume, table spaces, and ARBORPATH as the earlier release. Differently-named disk volumes, table spaces, or ARBORPATH on source and target. If you select this method, you can specify a different disk volume, table spaces, or ARBORPATH on the system you are upgrading to than what is defined on the earlier release system.
Note: If you select this method, make note of the new ARBORPATH location. During
configuration with EPM System Configurator, you enter this location on the Essbase configuration page, for Full path to application location (ARBORPATH).
l
Consolidated disk volumes or tablespaces on target by exporting data. Select this method if you want to consolidate disk volumes on the system to which you are upgrading. This method exports data to text files so that you can later import them on the upgraded system. Because this method is the slowest, use it only if you need to consolidate disk volumes, for example if the source machine has volumes defined for c, d, and e drives and the target machine has only c and d drives. This option performs some data validation during export.
Select whether you want to apply this method to all applications or to only some applications.
Note that all applications must be replicated to ensure the integrity of the essbase.sec file. If you select only some applications, you must select a second method of preparing the data for all remaining applications. If you select Yes for Select all applications, proceed to step 11.
If you selected No for Select all applications, enter the number for each application to which you want to apply the first data preparation method that you selected. When you are finished selecting applications, press Enter. remaining applications.
10 If you selected No for Select all applications, select the data preparation method to use for all of the
If you selected Same-named disk volumes, table spaces, and ARBORPATH on source and target or Differently-named disk volumes, table spaces, or ARBORPATH on source and target, the Staging Tool automatically selects Consolidated disk volumes or tablespaces on target by exporting data for the remaining applications.
11 Depending on the data preparation method that you selected, the next steps vary:
l
If you selected Same-named disk volumes, table spaces, and ARBORPATH on source and target, enter Y to proceed with preparing data. The Staging Tool prepares essbase.cfg, essbase.sec, data, and applications for file transfer.
If you selected Differently-named disk volumes, table spaces, or ARBORPATH on source and target: a. Specify a new ARBORPATH location for the machine on which you are upgrading and then press Enter. The ARBORPATH for the current release is displayed in parentheses for your reference.
Caution!
The ARBORPATH that you specify cannot be the directory that is to be used as EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE, which in a default installation is Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1. (EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE must be an empty directory.)
Tip: ARBORPATH is the location for applications; previous releases used ARBORPATH to refer to the installation location. ESSBASEPATH is now used to
define the installation location. For more information, see Understanding How Essbase Files Are Stored in the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide. b. If prompted, specify a new disk volume for the machine on which you are upgrading and then press Enter. The disk volume for the current release is displayed in parentheses for your reference. c. If prompted, specify a new default tablespace for the machine on which you are upgrading and then press Enter. The default tablespace for the current release is displayed in parentheses for your reference. (This step applies only to ASO applications.)
d. Enter Y to proceed with preparing data. The Staging Tool prepares essbase.cfg, essbase.sec, data, and applications for file transfer, updating internal references to ARBORPATH, disk volumes, and tablespaces as needed. Later in the upgrade process you must run a script (editagtsec.msh) to update disk volume settings in essbase.sec for the relocated applications.
l
If you selected Consolidated disk volumes or tablespaces on target by exporting data: a. Specify the directory to which to export data, and then enter Y to proceed with preparing data. The tool prepares a list of data to export, and then copies the data to the export directory you specified. It shuts down Essbase before copying files. If it cannot shut down Essbase, you are prompted to shut down Essbase. b. If you are prompted to shut down Essbase, shut it down, and then press Enter to continue. The Staging Tool prepares data files, exported data along with a script to import it, and a script for editing the security file. Note that with this option, you must perform additional tasks later in the process: You must run a script (editagtsec.msh) to update disk volume settings in essbase.sec for the relocated applications. You must manually import LROs and data later in the upgrade process using a script (importdata.msh).
The Staging Tool displays the processing status for each application. If the Staging Tool displays the error Cannot open file [%s] for sample applications, you can ignore the message. EPM System Installer installs sample applications on the new host machine. Note that the Staging Tool copies all of the files and directories under the specified ARBORPATH, disk volume locations, and tablespace locations.
12 Review the methods for transferring the processed files, select a method, and then enter Y to continue.
l
Automatically copy files to a mounted or mapped file system. If you select this option, the Staging Tool prompts you for the mounted drive location for each of the destination ARBORPATH, table space, disk volume, and export data directory directories. Specify the mounted path of the same ARBORPATH path that you specified during the data preparation method. The destination path for tablespace should map to the tablespace specified in the data preparation method. The destination path for disk volume path should map to complete paths and not just to disk volume. Specify an existing, empty directory. If errors occur during file transfer, the Staging Tool closes and shuts down Essbase. The Staging Tool also prepares a file with file transfer instructions. If the copy process fails for any reason, follow the instructions in EssStagingToolExtractLocation/ work/FileTransferSteps.txt to manually copy the data to the machine on which you plan to upgrade Essbase.
Get a list of file transfer instructions. If you select this option, the Staging Tool exports data and prepares a file with file transfer instructions. Review EssStagingToolExtractLocation/work/FileTransferSteps.txt for details and follow the steps to manually copy the data to the machine on which you plan to upgrade Essbase. Exit. If there were any failures or errors during the application processing, you can exit, correct the errors, and restart the Staging Tool.
The Staging Tool notes when the file transfer is complete and shuts down Essbase.
13 If needed, update the files on the target machine to ensure that they have the same owner as the user
who will install Essbase.
EssStagingToolExtractLocation/work/FileTransferSteps.txt includes the list
of files to update.
14 (Optional) Review the log file, EssStagingToolExtractLocation/essStaging.log, for

details of the Staging Tool actions.
You can use the log during configuration with EPM System Configurator to remind you of the options you specified. If you realize that you made mistakes in your entries for the Staging Tool, you can rerun it.
15 On the target machine hosting the new release, make required updates to essbase.cfg: Update the
DISKVOLUMES, SSAUDIT, SSAUDITR, and TransactionLogLocation settings to reflect new
directory locations.
Note: The Staging Tools copies ARBORPATH/app/appname/dbname/Replay, which is related
to the transaction logging and replay feature. Because Oracle recommends a fresh implementation of transaction logging and replay in any given Essbase release, Oracle recommends that you delete these files on the upgraded system before you proceed. As a best practice, the files in the LOGLOCATION and Replay directories should be backed up periodically. When you have finished preparing Essbase data for upgrading, return to Replicating Data on page 186 to replicate data for other EPM System products.
Replicating the Databases (Optional)

Optionally, replicate the entire database or databases to a new machine or machines. During database configuration with EPM System Configurator, specify the new product database location.
Note: If the database version needs to be updated, perform the database upgrade before
replicating data. If you want to maintain the earlier release installation, you must replicate the databases.
Note: Oracle recommends that you replicate the databases.
You do not need to replicate the Shared Services database. Shared Services requires a new database and data from the earlier release is imported during configuration.
Note: If you are upgrading from Essbase Studio Release 11.1.1.3, ensure that the data is valid
before you upgrade to ensure successful upgrade. When you are done with this step, return to the Upgrading Checklist on page 175.
Stopping EPM System Services

If you are installing Release 11.1.2.1 on the same machine as the earlier release installation, stop all EPM System services. If you need details about stopping services, see Chapter 8, Starting and Stopping EPM System Products. When you are done with this step, return to the Upgrading Checklist on page 175.
Uninstalling the Earlier Release of EPM System Products

Oracle recommends that you uninstall earlier releases of EPM System products unless you want to maintain the earlier release environment. During uninstallation, when prompted whether you want to delete all the files and directories in the EPM Oracle home directory, select No unless you have moved your data to another location.
Note: If you are upgrading on the existing machine, and you want to uninstall the earlier release,
you must uninstall before you install Release 11.1.2.1. (Oracle recommends that you install Release 11.1.2.1 on a new machine.) You cannot uninstall the earlier release of Shared Services after you upgrade to the new release on the same machine. If you are upgrading FDM on the existing machine, you must uninstall the earlier release before you proceed.
Tip: If you choose not to uninstall the earlier release and you are upgrading on the existing machine, you might need to edit the PATH variable to remove all references to the earlier release. This can prevent you from reaching the character limit for the PATH variable when
you configure. When you are done with this step, return to the Upgrading Checklist on page 175.
Installing EPM System Products for an Upgrade

Install EPM System products using EPM System Installer, as described in Chapter 3, Installing EPM System Products. Note the following about installing EPM System products in an upgrade:
l
For each machine, you can install all the products that you plan to host on that machine at one time. For additional requirements for a distributed installation, see Installing EPM System Products in a Distributed Environment on page 93. When you upgrade, you must install and configure using the same user that was used to install and configure the earlier release. Oracle recommends that you install Release 11.1.2.1 on a new machine. If you are installing on the same machine as the earlier release, EPM System Installer warns you that the earlier release might no longer work after you install the current release. If you are upgrading from a deployment that includes Planning Release 9.2.1 (for HspJSHome.properties) or Administration Services with Planning Release 9.2.1 or Release 9.3.3 (for hbrserver.properties), during installation, specify the MIDDLEWARE_HOME that you created when you replicated Planning data.
Note: To install and configure the Financial Reporting Print Server, see Installing Financial
Reporting Studio and Financial Reporting Print Server on page 110. When you are done with this step, return to the Upgrading Checklist on page 175.
Configuring EPM System Products in an Upgrade

Caution!
Do not proceed with configuration until you have exported Shared Services data from the earlier release. See Exporting Shared Services Data from the Earlier Release on page 181.
After you install, use EPM System Configurator to configure EPM System products. Upgrade configuration notes:
l
You must configure Foundation Services first. Foundation Services must be installed and configured for other products to configure successfully. In a distributed environment, for Shared Services, perform the Configure Database and Import data from earlier release tasks on each machine on which Shared Services is installed before configuring any other products. For other products, you perform the import data tasks on only one machine in a distributed environment. Configure Essbase and Essbase products next.
Installing EPM System Products for an Upgrade 195
You must perform the Configure Database task at the same time as or before you perform the Deploy to Application Server task. Because you are configuring products one at a time, configure the Web server after each product. (Select the Foundation Services Configure Web Server task.) After configuration, restart the Web server and EPM Workspace. You must deploy all EPM System products to a single WebLogic domain. The only exception to this requirement is documented in Deploying Financial Reporting and Web Analysis on Windows for use with Financial Management on page 241. If you are upgrading multiple instances of Essbase, for each instance that you are upgrading from, you must create a new instance in Release 11.1.2.1. See Configuring and Starting Additional Instances of Essbase Server on page 154.
The following table describes the tasks that you must select in EPM System Configurator and describes the tasks EPM System Configurator performs during upgrade. For details about running EPM System Configurator, see Chapter 4, Configuring EPM System Products or click Help.
Note: For all products other than Shared Services, during product database configuration, select
Upgrade existing database to the current release from... and select a release number. Then, enter connection information for the existing or replicated database.
To launch EPM System Configurator, from the Start menu, select Programs, then Oracle
EPM System, then Foundation Services, and then EPM System Configurator.
Table 33
Required Configuration Tasks During Upgrade Configuration Tasks Configure a New or Existing EPM Oracle Instance. Typically, if you are installing all products on a single machine, for the first product you configure, you create a new instance. For each product after that, you modify the existing instance.

What Happens During Upgrade Registers applications with Shared Services and upgrades applications. Note: When you upgrade from an earlier release, a backup of the security file for the earlier release is created before the security file is upgraded. The security file backup, Essbase.Bak_preUpgrade, is in ARBORPATH/bin. Unlike the Essbase_timestamp.bak file, which regularly backs up the latest state of Essbase security, this pre-upgrade backup file is kept intact and is not subsequently updated by further operations.
Configure Essbase Server
On the Configure Essbase Server page, for Full path to application location (ARBORPATH), specify the location of the existing or replicated Essbase data. Note: If you replicated data to a new machine, and if you selected Differently-named disk volumes, table spaces, or ARBORPATH on source and target or Consolidated disk volumes or tablespaces on target by exporting data during data replication, you must run a script immediately after configuring Essbase to update the Essbase security file to reflect the disk volumes on the upgraded system. The Essbase Staging Tool provides a script to update the settings in the security file (essbase.sec): Start the Essbase Server and EPM System services. Navigate to ARBORPATH/app on the machine that is hosting the upgraded Essbase Server and run the following script using MaxL: %ARBORPATH%/bin/startMaxl.bat -u userName editagtsec.msh where userName is the Administrator user name to connect to the upgraded Essbase server. The script prompts you to enter the password. Note: editagtsec.msh could be empty in some scenarios. For example, when you launched the Staging Tool, the Staging Tool reports on existing volumes. If no volumes are listed, editagtsec.msh is empty. Provider Services

What Happens During Shared Services Data Import

During configuration, with the Foundation Import data from earlier release task, EPM System Configurator extracts the contents of hssmigratedata.zip and imports the data to Shared Services Release 11.1.2.1.
EPM System Configurator imports the following data:

l
Security (including application roles) Projects and Application IDs Performance Management Architect interface datasource tables Taskflow information Audit information (for 11.1.1.3 only)
CSS.xml
Logs related to the import process are written to EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/ upgrade/hss_upgrade_ps1.log and to the console. If there are any errors during the import process, you can rerun just the Import data from earlier release task. EPM System Configurator performs the following tasks:
l
Updates CSS.xml (for 9.2.1 and 9.3.3) to replace all DN-based identity attributes to GUIDbased attributes and imports them to the Shared Services Registry. Updates all DN-based identities to their corresponding GUID-based identities. Moves Native Directory to last in the search order. Imports projects (application groups) into the Shared Services Registry. Imports application IDs into the Shared Services Registry. Note that application nodes are created but are not visible until the applications are registered later in the upgrade process. Imports the Performance Management Architect datasource file InterfaceTables.instance on a temporary basis for use during Performance Management Architect configuration.

Upgrading a Distributed Deployment of Reporting and Analysis

If you are upgrading a distributed deployment of Reporting and Analysis, note that the distributed configuration is not automatically replicated in the upgrade as it was in earlier releases when you upgraded. You must set up the distributed configuration in the Release 11.1.2.1
environment. Use the Upgrading Checklist, but repeat the installation and configuration steps as needed, as described in the following procedure.
To configure a distributed deployment of Reporting and Analysis in an upgrade scenario:

1
Install and configure the first host. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, for the product database configuration, select Upgrade existing database to the current release from... and select a release number. Then, enter connection information for the existing or replicated database. For a subsequent host that already existed in the previous deployment, install and configure the host.

If you upgraded to a new machine, specify any JAVA options on the new machine either as environment variables (Windows) or through hyperionenv.doc (UNIX). If you replicated data to a new machine, and if you selected Consolidated disk volumes or tablespaces on target by exporting data, run a script to import Essbase data and linked reporting objects. If the upgraded application has more than 127 linked reporting objects, manually import the linked reporting objects. Oracle recommends that you make a backup of the applications. This ensures that the backup is of the upgraded format.
Importing Essbase Data and Linked Reporting Objects on page 222 Manually Import Linked Reporting Objects on page 222
Importing Essbase Data and Linked Reporting Objects

If you replicated data to a new machine, and if you selected Consolidated disk volumes or tablespaces on target by exporting data during data replication, you must run a script to import the Essbase data and linked reporting objects on the upgraded system. The Essbase Staging Tool provides a script to perform this task.
To import data and linked reporting objects on the upgraded machine:

Navigate to the export data directory you defined during data replication on the machine that is hosting the upgraded Essbase Server and run the following script using MaxL:
%ARBORPATH%/bin/startMaxl.bat -u userName importdata.msh
where userName is the Administrator user name to connect to the upgraded Essbase server. The script prompts you to enter the password.
Manually Import Linked Reporting Objects

If the upgraded application has more than 127 linked reporting objects, manually import the linked reporting objects.
To import linked reporting objects:

1 2
Start Essbase Server. Run the following MaxL command to import the linked reporting object data from the earlier release backup directory: (The Staging Tool replicated the linked reporting objects with the rest of the Essbase data.)
IMPORT database DBS-NAME LRO from server directory directoryName;
For example:
MAXL> IMPORT database Sample.Basic LRO from server directory Sample-Basic-V1;
Essbase Studio Upgrade Tasks

The following are tasks for upgrading Essbase Studio to Release 11.1.2.1.
Table 42

In Release 11.x, you set up single sign-on options using the Configuration and Management Console (CMC). After you upgrade, if you had any custom login information in the earlier release, you must use Shared Services to implement the custom login information in the current release. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide.
Assigning New Interactive Reporting Roles

Two roles have been added to restrict users' access to information based on roles:
l
IR HTML Viewer role - required to open a BQY document or Job Output in the HTML viewer. IR WebClient Viewer role - required to open a BQY document or Job Output in the Interactive Reporting plugin.
After you upgrade, assign users these two roles as needed; the new roles are not assigned by default. You can assign roles in one of two ways:
l
Use Shared Services to provision roles. For more information, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide. Use a Java SDK program to perform a bulk assignment of the new roles to users and groups. See EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/biplus/SDK/samples/java/AddNewRole.java for more details on this program and the Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework Developers Guide for details on how to run SDK programs.

Financial Management Upgrade Tasks

Perform the following upgrade tasks for Financial Management.
Table 44
Upgrade Tasks for Financial Management Reference Financial Management Register Servers and Clusters on page 161 Financial Management Upgrade Tasks on page 226
Upgrade Task If server names change in a cluster, run EPM System Configurator for all Financial Management clients and perform the cluster registration task to update this information locally. If cluster names are changed or deleted (which can happen during an upgrade or any time), or if server names change within a cluster, the upgrade might not be able to determine the cluster for the application. There are two possible symptoms for this issue:
l
The Upgrade applications from earlier release task fails, and details are logged in EPM_ORACLE_ INSTANCE/diagnostics/logs/upgrades/HFMApplicationUpgrade.log. The log contains a message such as the following: Failed to find default Cluster name for the application applicationName. Will register application with HSS using server localServerName.
The Upgrade applications from earlier release task succeeds, but the application fails to open in EPM Workspace, and the following error is in the Financial Management event log: Server/Cluster is incorrectly configured. Please reconfigure your Cluster or Server connection.
If either of these symptoms occur, you must reregister applications manually using EPM Workspace to assign the correct cluster or server. Define a new cluster if required in the new environment. Clustering Financial Management Servers on page 125
Reregistering Applications in EPM Workspace

To register applications in EPM Workspace:
1 2 3 4 5
From the Navigate menu, select Administer, then Classic Application Administration, then Consolidation Administration, then Register Application. Select a cluster, select an application, and then review and update as needed the values for cluster/ server, User Management Project, and security URL. Click Register. Repeat for each application. After all applications are registered, restart Foundation Services and the Web server.
Strategic Finance Upgrade Tasks

Note: If you are using the Strategic Finance client as a standalone program, Strategic Finance converts the data to the upgraded format when you open the existing.alc files in the new
release. If you are using a Client-Server implementation and point the upgraded Strategic Finance server to an existing database during configuration, it converts that database upon first startup, and as each entity is opened at user request. The administrator can also force one or more entities in the database by using the Strategic Finance Administrator Utility.
Table 45
Strategic Finance Upgrade Tasks Reference
Task In releases earlier than 9.3.x, Strategic Finance used port 1493. Since Release 9.3.x, the default port used for Strategic Finance is 7750. It might be necessary to select the new port number for connections configured on workstations that had clients installed previously. If you customized Strategic Finance files in the earlier release, copy the custom files and client-defined fields to the machine hosting the new installation. Replicating these files is required only if there are customizations to these files. If no customizations have been made to these files, you do not have to replicate them in the new environment; use the base files that are installed with Release 11.1.2.1.

Manually Deploying EPM System Web Applications
Manually Deploying Web Applications ................................................................ 235 Deploying Financial Reporting and Web Analysis on Windows for use with Financial Management ............................................................................................................. 241
This chapter assumes that you are an experienced Web application server administrator. If you are not an experienced Web application server administrator, you should automatically configure and deploy EPM System Web applications using EPM System Configurator. For detailed information about managing Web applications with WebLogic Server, see http:// download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/wls.htm.
Manually Deploying Web Applications

To manually deploy EPM System Web applications:
1
Install EPM System products using EPM System Installer.
Typically, EPM System Installer installs WebLogic Server for you. If you have an existing WebLogic Server installation and want to use it instead of the WebLogic Server installed by EPM System Installer, during installation, you must install EPM System products to the same Middleware home. If EPM System Installer detects an existing WebLogic Server installation in the installation location, it does not install WebLogic Server. Note the requirements for installing Web applications in a distributed environment. See Installing EPM System Products in a Distributed Environment on page 93.
Launch EPM System Configurator using the following command and perform all required configuration tasks except for the Configure Web Server task. Note that the Deploy to Application Server task is not available.
Windows:
EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/ version_number/configtool-manual.bat
UNIX:
EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/ version_number/configtool-manual.sh
Manually Deploying Web Applications 235
Launching EPM System Configurator with this command hides the Web application deployment tasks and skips the product registration with Shared Services task. See Chapter 4, Configuring EPM System Products.
Launch the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard: From the command line, change the directory to MIDDLEWARE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin and launch config.cmd (Windows) or config.sh (UNIX). Select Create a New WebLogic Domain and then click Next.
Note: All EPM System products must be deployed to the same domain. If you have already
deployed EPM System products, select Extend an Existing WebLogic Domain. Additionally, if you are using Financial Close Management, EPM System and Oracle SOA Suite must be deployed to the same domain. If you have already configured Oracle SOA Suite, deploy EPM System products to the same domain by selecting Extend an Existing WebLogic Domain. A list displays all the Web applications installed in the Middleware home. For EPM System products, the list is generated from the configuration templates that were installed during installation with EPM System Installer.
Select Generate a domain configured automatically to support the following products, then select the EPM System Web applications you want to deploy, and then click Next.
Oracle recommends that you simultaneously configure all Web applications.
6 7 8
Enter the domain name and location and then click Next.
By default, the domain location is MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains.

Enter a user name and password for the domain administrator, and a domain description, and then click Next. Select a WebLogic domain startup mode (Development or Production), specify which JDK to use, and then click Next.
You must select Production mode. Oracle recommends that you select the default JDK.
Configure the JDBC data sources, and then click Next.
For each Web application, specify the database connection information that you entered during database configuration with EPM System Configurator. If you configured different databases for different products, enter database connection information separately for each Web application. Select the Web application, and then enter the connection information.
Tip: EPMSystemRegistry is the Shared Services and Registry database.
The Configuration Wizard tests the database connection.
10 Review the Connection Result log, and then click Next.
236 Manually Deploying EPM System Web Applications
11 For Managed Servers, Clusters and Machines, on the Configure Managed Servers panel, enter the
listen ports and change them from the default value of 7001. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation Start Here for a list of default ports.
Note: If you change the ports from the defaults, you must also change them in the stop scripts located in MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/EPMSYstem/ bin.
12 For a distributed deployment, for Managed Servers, Clusters and Machines, on the Configure
Machines panel, create a machine for each machine in the deployment.
13 For each managed server, assign the managed server to a machine. 14 (Optional) For Managed Servers, Clusters and Machines, on the Configure Clusters panel, you can
set up a cluster. You can also set up a cluster after you've completed the deployment. For details on Web application server clustering, see (Optional) Clustering Web Applications in a Manual Deployment on page 240.
15 Review the Configuration Summary, and then click Create to create the domain and deploy the Web
applications.
Web applications are deployed in offline mode.
16 For a distributed deployment:

a. Start the Node Manager on each machine in the deployment. b. On the WebLogic Administration Server machine, pack the domain that you created. c. Copy the pack to each machine in the deployment. d. Unpack on each machine in the deployment. WebLogic Server unpacks all Web applications on each machine in the deployment. On each machine, it runs the managed servers that you associated with the machine.
17 If you deployed Financial Close Management, perform additional manual steps. See Additional
Postdeployment Steps for Financial Close Management on page 240.
18 Open MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domainName/config/
fmwconfig/system-jazn-data.xml in a text editor, and after the last </grant> line in the file,
add the following:

19 Open MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domainName/config/
fmwconfig/jps-config.xml in a text editor and make the following changes.
l
To the <serviceInstances> set in the document, add the following:

<serviceInstances> <serviceInstance provider="jaas.login.provider" name="idstore.loginmodule"> <description>Identity Store Login Module</description> <property value="oracle.security.jps.internal.jaas.module.idstore.IdStoreLoginModule" name="loginModuleClassName" /> <property value="REQUIRED" name="jaas.login.controlFlag" /> <property value="true" name="debug" /> <property value="true" name="addAllRoles" /> </serviceInstance> </serviceInstances>
To the jpsContexts/jpsContext section, add the following:

<serviceInstanceRef ref="idstore.loginmodule" />
20 (Optional) To simplify the startup of WebLogic servers, edit the boot.properties file on every server
in the domain to provide the domain user and password. This file is located in MIDDLEWARE_HOME/ user_projects/domains/domainName/servers/product/security.
Note: Note that these inputs are stored in clear text until the servers are started, after which
this data is encrypted by WebLogic.
21 To synchronize the password keys between the WebLogic Admin server machine and the managed server
machine, copy SerializedSystemIni.dat from the WebLogic Admin server machine to the
managed server machine; for example, WEBLOGIC_SERVER/user_projects/domains/ EPMSystem/security) to DOMAIN_HOME/security where DOMAIN_HOME is the domain defined for the deployment in the MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains managed server home.
22 Start the WebLogic Administration Console and start the EPM System Web applications.
Note that when you manually deploy Web applications, use the start scripts in DOMAIN_HOME/bin.
Note: If you didn't perform step step 20, you will be prompted to provide the domain user
and password when you start the Web applications.

Tip: You can also start Web applications on all machines using the Weblogic Administration Console. To do so, you must first run MIDDLEWARE_HOME/oracle_common/ common/bin/setNMProps.sh(cmd) to modify nodemanager.properties.
During the managed server startup, the Shared Services Registry is updated with values for the EPM System Web applications you deployed.
23 Stop all EPM System Web applications. 24 Launch EPM System Configurator using the following command and select the Configure Web Server
task.
Windows:
EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/ version_number/configtool-manual.bat
UNIX:
EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/ version_number/configtool-manual.sh
EPM System Configurator performs the registration with Shared Services and Configure Web Server tasks. If you are also want to configure Essbase while you are manually deploying Web applications, when you first ran configtool-manual.sh, the Configure Essbase Server task was not available. It is available in this second pass of configuration, so if needed, select it now.
25 Start all EPM System services and Web applications according to the order described in Chapter 8,
Starting and Stopping EPM System Products. Note that when you manually deploy Web applications, use the start scripts in DOMAIN_HOME/bin.
Tip: You can also start Web applications on all machines using the Weblogic Administration Console. To do so, you must first run MIDDLEWARE_HOME/oracle_common/ common/bin/setNMProps.sh(cmd) to modify nodemanager.properties.
To validate the installation and verify deployment, see Chapter 9, Validating the Installation and Verifying Deployment.
Tip: If you need to redeploy a Web application after you have successfully deployed, replace the EAR file, delete the tmp folder for the managed server, and then start the application.
Additional Postdeployment Steps for Financial Close Management

If you are manually deploying Financial Close Management, perform the following procedures after you deploy.
To complete the Financial Close Management deployment:

1
Go to EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin and run the following commands:
epmsys_registry.bat epmsys_registry.bat epmsys_registry.bat ADMIN_PASSWORD epmsys_registry.bat addproperty #APP_SERVER_ID/@adminUser ADMIN_USER addproperty #APP_SERVER_ID/@adminPort ADMIN_PORT addencryptedproperty #APP_SERVER_ID/@adminPassword addproperty #APP_SERVER_ID/@adminHost ADMIN_HOST
Where APP_SERVER_ID is the ID of the WebLogic AppServer component in the Shared Services Registry. For more information about editing the Shared Services Registry, see Appendix G, Updating the Shared Services Registry.
2 3
Start EPM System Configurator and select the Deploy to SOA task. Start the Financial Close Management Web application.
(Optional) Clustering Web Applications in a Manual Deployment

You can cluster a manually deployed Web application using WebLogic. This section provides a general overview of clustering Web applications. See the WebLogic documentation for more details on this procedure.
Note: If you deployed Web applications using EPM System Configurator, EPM System
Configurator creates the cluster and adds servers to the cluster. You need not perform additional tasks in WebLogic. See Clustering Web Applications on page 124.
To cluster Web applications:

1 2
Start the WebLogic Administration Console. If you manually deployed the Web applications, in the Domain Structures pane, click Clusters and create a cluster.
If you deployed the Web applications with EPM System Configurator and clicked Setup to specify the logical address for the Web application, this step is not necessary, because EPM System Configurator created the cluster for you.
If you manually deployed the Web applications, select the cluster, click the HTTP tab, and for Frontend Host, enter the host name and port of the load balancer.
If you deployed the Web applications with EPM System Configurator and clicked Setup to specify the logical address for the Web application, this step is not necessary, because EPM System Configurator entered this information during configuration.
4 5
Click the Servers tab, click Add, and on the Add a Server to Cluster page, select a server from the list, and then click Finish. Click the Deployments tab, select an EPM System Web application, click the Targets tab, and for the cluster this Web application is deployed to, select All Servers in the Cluster.
Repeat this step for all EPM System Web applications. In a distributed environment, the Node Manager propagates changes to all the machines in the cluster.
To add another server to the cluster to scale out the deployment:
a. Select the server and select Clone. b. Select the server that you just cloned, and change the machine on which the server is running.
7 8 9
Repeat step 2 - step 6 as needed. Start the servers from WebLogic Administration Console. Launch EPM System Configurator and perform the Configure Web Server task.
Extending a Deployment
If you have deployed only some EPM System Web applications, you can extend the deployment by deploying additional Web applications. For example, if you previously deployed Planning, you can extend the deployment to deploy Profitability and Cost Management. Use the manual deployment steps in this chapter, however, instead of selecting Create a New WebLogic Domain, select Extend an Existing WebLogic Domain.
Deploying Financial Reporting and Web Analysis on Windows for use with Financial Management
Typically, EPM System Web applications must be deployed to either all Windows or all UNIX machines, because EPM System Configurator deploys all products to one domain. However, in a UNIX environment, if you want to use Financial Management as a data source for Financial Reporting and Web Analysis, you must deploy the Financial Reporting and Web Analysis Web applications on Windows. In this scenario, you must manually create a second domain for the Windows Web applications and manually deploy these two Web applications.
Deploying Financial Reporting and Web Analysis on Windows for use with Financial Management 241
Deploy all other EPM System Web applications on your UNIX boxes either automatically with EPM System Configurator or manually using the instructions in this chapter. On the Windows machine, you must deploy Financial Reporting and Web Analysis manually using the procedures in this chapter. During deployment, create a new domain for the Windows Web applications.

Some products require additional steps after configuration.
General Postconfiguration Tasks

The following table describes general postconfiguration tasks for EPM System products.
Table 47
General Postconfiguration Tasks Reference Increasing the JVM Memory Allocation on page 244
Task Optional: Increase the JVM memory allocation for your Web Application Server
If you applied the maintenance release to move from Release 11.1.2 to Release 11.1.2.1, after you configure, clear cached files from the Web browser. This ensures that the browser uses the correct Javascript files.
General Postconfiguration Tasks 243
Task If you are using Lifecycle Management to import large models, the import might take longer to process than the time specified in the default timeout settings on the WebLogic Server. To work around this issue, increase the default timeout settings for WebLogic. This applies to Performance Management Architect, Planning, Performance Scorecard, and Profitability and Cost Management. On AIX systems, you might need to increase the maximum length of the command line to allow EPM System processes to start. As root user, enter the following command: chdev -l sys0 -a ncargs=16 Optional: Harden security for EPM System products.
Reference WebLogic Server documentation
Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide
Increasing the JVM Memory Allocation

Depending on the size of your environment, you might need to increase the heap size for your Web application server to optimize performance. While the default can be used in a test environment (single server type configuration), the heap size must be increased for use in a production environment (multiple servers). Choose a method:
l
To increase the heap size for the Windows service, update the Windows registry for Windows services using regedit. For HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions \Product Component\ServiceName, update the JVMOptionX (where X is 1, 2, ...) whose value starts with -Xmx. Edit a product's custom start script to specify the desired heap sizes. For example, for Shared Services, open EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/deploymentscripts/ setCustomParamsFoundationServices.bat|.sh, and modify the Xms128m Xmx1024m entry.
Restart the Windows service or rerun the script for the product after making changes.
Shared Services Postconfiguration Tasks

The following table describes Shared Services postconfiguration tasks.
Table 48
Shared Services Postconfiguration Tasks Reference
Task If you are not using the default port for the Web server, or if the Web server is on a different machine than Shared Services, you must edit the Start menu item for Foundation Services to reflect the correct port number.

Reference Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide
EPM Workspace Postconfiguration Tasks

The following table describes EPM Workspace postconfiguration tasks.
Table 49
EPM Workspace Postconfiguration Tasks Reference
Task If you are not using the default port for the Web server or if the Web server is on a different machine than EPM Workspace, you must edit the Start menu item for EPM Workspace to reflect the correct port number. If you are integrating EPM Workspace with Oracle BI EE or BI Publisher, perform an additional task to create compatible single sign-on tokens. Because Shared Services Release 11.1.1.3 uses a different encryption method than Release 11.1.2.1.0, you must generate a new single sign-on token encryption key . You can select either Reset to default or Generate a new key. If you generate a new key, you need to replace css-9_5_0.jar in oraclebi/web/javahostt/lib/obiscustomauth on the Oracle BI EE machine with the same file from the 11.1.1.3 installation, which is in HYPERION_HOME/ common/css/9.5.0.0/lib. After performing this task, restart Oracle BI EE and BI Publisher services. If Oracle BI EE or BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.4.1 are installed on a machine other than the machine hosting Shared Services Release 11.1.1.3.00, perform the following additional steps: 1. On the machine hosting Oracle BI EE or Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher, create a folder for HYPERION_HOME and then create a new environment variable, HYPERION_HOME, pointing to this location. 2. Create the following directory structure under HYPERION_HOME: /common/CSS. 3. Copy ssHandlerTK key to HYPERION_HOME/common/CSS. See Regenerating Encryption Keys in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide for details. Optional: Use the Administer section of EPM Workspace (select Navigate, then Administer, and then Workspace Server Settings) to manage EPM Workspace properties.
Setting Encryption Options in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.
For EPM Workspace properties, see the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Workspace Administrator's Guide.
Performance Management Architect Postconfiguration Tasks

The following table describes Performance Management Architect postconfiguration tasks.
EPM Workspace Postconfiguration Tasks 245
Table 50
Performance Management Architect Postconfiguration Tasks Reference Updating Deployment Information on page 246 WebLogic Server application server documentation
Task If you are applying the maintenance release to move from Release 11.1.2.0 to Release 11.1.2.1, update references to the Essbase Server. After you deploy Performance Management Architect, depending on your environment, you might need to increase the Max Thread execution time (defined by the StuckThreadMaxTime attribute value) for the application server. Increasing this value prevents long processes from terminating. If you are using Lifecycle Management to import large models, the import might take longer to process than the time specified in the default timeout settings on the WebLogic Server. To work around this issue, you must reset the default timeout settings in WebLogic Server. Optional: Perform server administration tasks.
Administering Servers in the Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect Administrators Guide See Appendix C: Configuration Settings in BPMA_Server_ Config.xml in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect Administrator's Guide
Optional: Based on the size of applications, you might need to increase the DimensionServerStartupTimeout setting in bpma_server_config.xml.
Updating Deployment Information

If you are applying the maintenance release to move from Release 11.1.2.0 to Release 11.1.2.1, perform the following procedure to update references to the Essbase Server.
Tip: To simplify updating Essbase Server information for a large number of applications, you
can run a script instead of using Application Diagnostics. See Updating Performance Management Architect References to Essbase Server on page 214.
To update deployment information using Application Diagnostics:

1
Log in as a user who has the EPMA Administrator role (you need to provision this role first) and then start Performance Management Architect Application Diagnostics: In the Application Library, right-click an application and select Diagnostics, and then run the test to check for Invalid Deployment Information. Select Retrieve potential deployed locations and then click Apply. Select the correct instance and cluster, click Synchronize deployment data, and then click Apply.

Task If you are using SSL for Essbase, enable SSL. Oracle recommends that you enable SSL for Essbase in a production environment. Maintenance Release Only If you are applying the maintenance release to move from Essbase Release 11.1.2.0 to Release 11.1.2.1, you must import linked reporting objects from the earlier release. (UNIX) Set User Limits on 64-bit AIX. If you set up an active-passive Essbase cluster using EPM System Configurator, perform additional steps to set up Essbase failover on both cluster nodes. Enable clients to look up Essbase by cluster name instead of URL. If you configured an additional instance of Essbase, edit opmn.xml for each additional instance to change the ports to unique ports. (UNIX) If you are using Oracle BI EE as the data source for Essbase, you must set additional environment variables for the Oracle BI EE driver before launching Essbase. To designate a specific installation of JRE for use with Essbase, update the JVMMODULELOCATION setting in essbase.cfg. (Optional) EPM System Installer installs both 32-bit and 64-bit Essbase Server on a machine with a 64-bit operating system. You can configure Essbase to use the 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit machine.

Importing Linked Reporting Objects

If you are applying the maintenance release to move from Essbase Release 11.1.2.0 to Release 11.1.2.1, you must import linked reporting objects from the earlier release.
Essbase Postconfiguration Tasks 247
Before you complete this step, you must have exported the linked reporting objects from Release 11.1.2.0. See Essbase Maintenance Release Installation Prerequisites on page 90.
To import linked reporting objects:

1 2
Start Essbase Server. Run the following MAXL command to import the linked reporting object data from the earlier release backup directory:
IMPORT database DBS-NAME LRO from server directory directoryName
For example:
MAXL> IMPORT database Sample.Basic LRO from server directory Sample-Basic-V1;
Setting User Limits on 64-bit AIX

When running Essbase Server on a 64-bit AIX platform, you must change the user limits to increase the size of a data segment. The following table lists suggested values:
User Limit time (seconds) file (blocks) data (kbytes) stack (kbytes) memory (kbytes) coredump (blocks) nofiles (descriptors) Value unlimited unlimited unlimited No higher than 128 MB for 64-bit and 64 MB for 32-bit unlimited unlimited 4096, with a maximum of less than 32K
Setting Up Active-Passive Essbase Clusters

If you set up an active-passive Essbase cluster using EPM System Configurator, you must perform additional steps to set up Essbase failover on both cluster nodes.
To complete the setup of the Essbase active-passive cluster:

1
Update EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OPMN/opmn/opmn.xml to specify the OPMN service failover network topology. In the <notification-server interface> section, add the <topology> section. For example:
<notification-server interface="any"> <ipaddr remote="hostName" /> <port local="portNumber" remote="portNumber" /> <ssl enabled="true" wallet-file="\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects
\epmsystem1\config\OPMN\opmn\wallet"/> <topology> <nodes list="nodeName1:nodePort1,nodeName2:nodePort2"/> </topology> </notification-server>
2 3
In the same section of the file, update hostName to match the nodeName for this machine.
Oracle recommends using a fully qualified name.

In the same section of the file, enable or disable SSL communication as the communication mechanism between the OPMN servers in the failover nodes. By default, the ssl enabled parameter is True.
To enable SSL , you must also recreate the wallet file on both nodes of the cluster. The wallet file parameters must be the same on both machines. To disable SSL communication, change the ssl enabled parameter to False. For example:
<notification-server interface="any"> <ipaddr remote="hostName" /> <port local="portNumber" remote="portNumber" /> <ssl enabled="false" wallet-file="\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects \epmsystem1\config\OPMN\opmn\wallet"/> <topology> <nodes list="nodeName1:nodePort1,nodeName2:nodePort2"/> </topology> </notification-server>
where nodePort1 and nodePort2 are the remote ports of OPMN on each machine in the cluster.
Update opmn.xml to enable service failover for Essbase. In the <ias-component id="Essbase"> section, add service-failover="1". For example:
<ias-component id="Essbase"> <process-type id="EssbaseAgent" module-id="ESS" service-failover="1" serviceweight="100">
In the <ias-component id="Essbase"> section of opmn.xml, for the first node, change service-weight="100" to service-weight="101" . For the second node, keep the value at 100. Update opmn.xml to reflect the name of the cluster. In the <ias-component id="Essbase"> section, change id="Essbase" from Essbase to the name of the cluster. For example, change:
<ias-component id="Essbase">
to
<ias-component id="EssbaseClusterName">
In opmn.xml, remove "numprocs" from the process set definition and change the restart-ondeath value to true. For example edit the following section:
<process-set id="AGENT" numprocs="1" restart-on-death="false">
as follows:
<process-set id="AGENT" restart-on-death="true">
Enabling Client Lookup by Cluster Name

Essbase clients can use a URL to connect to an Essbase cluster, in the form: http(s):// host:port/aps/Essbase?ClusterName=clusterName. To simplify login, Essbase clients can use the cluster name directly instead of the URL. If you want to enable client login using the cluster name, you must first specify a property to configure Provider Services. The cluster name is resolved by the Provider Services servers specified in configuration files:
To enable lookup by cluster name:

1
Modify essbase.cfg and essbase.properties as follows:
l
For server-to-server communication, modify essbase.cfg to specify the Provider Services server to use, in the following format, separating each URL with a semicolon:
ApsResolver http(s)://host:port/aps
For client-to-server communication, modify essbase.properties to specify the Provider Services server to use, in the following format:
ApsResolver=http(s)://apshost1:port/aps
Restart Essbase after updating these files.
Upgrade Note! After upgrading, update the ApsResolver setting in all essbase.cfg files (those installed for the servers, and those installed for the Essbase clients.
Modifying OPMN for an Additional Instance of Essbase

If you configured more than one instance of Essbase Server on a single machine, each instance has its own OPMN, its own start scripts, and its own log files. You must update each instance's copy of opmn.xml so that each OPMN has unique ports for communication.
To modify OPMN for an additional instance of Essbase:

1 2
Open MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/instanceName/config/OPMN/opmn/ opmn.xml in a text editor. In the <notification-server interface> section of the file, update the two port values (port local="portNumber and remote="portNumber") for this instance of OPMN so it does not conflict with other instances, and then save the file. For example:
<notification-server interface="any"> <ipaddr remote="hostName" /> <port local="portNumber" remote="portNumber" /> <ssl enabled="false" wallet-file="\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects \epmsystem1\config\OPMN\opmn\wallet"/> </notification-server>
Perform this step on each instance of opmn.xml.
(UNIX) Configuring the Environment for Essbase and Oracle BI EE Integration

If you are using Oracle BI EE as the data source for Essbase, you must set additional environment variables for the Oracle BI EE driver before launching Essbase.
Note: Essbase Release 11.1.2 integrates with Oracle BI EE Release 10g (10.1.3.4 and later) on
UNIX.
To configure the environment for Essbase and Oracle BI EE integration:

1
Install the Oracle BI EE ODBC driver.
Oracle BI EE ODBC driver components are installed in their own Home directory. Ensure that the UNIX users who have access/execute privileges to Essbase have the same privileges to the Oracle BI EE ODBC driver components.
Modify odbc.ini (for Essbase) and odbcinst.ini (for Essbase Studio) to add the Oracle BI EE ODBC driver. These files are in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ODBC/Merant/6.0. Modify the files by editing the DSN (for odbc.ini) or the driver descriptor (for odbcinst.ini) to include the absolute path for the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition ODBC driver.
Use the following example for the DSN entry for odbc.ini:
[ODBC Data Sources] : OBI Paint=Oracle BI Server [DSN for OBI driver] [ODBC] IANAAppCodePage=4 InstallDir=/EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ODBC/Merant/6.0 Trace=1 TraceFile=/EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ODBC/Merant/6.0/odbctrace.out TraceDll=/EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ODBC/Merant/6.0/lib/odbctrac.so [OBI Paint] [DSN entry] Driver=/.../OracleBI/server/Bin/libnqsodbc.so [path to load OBI driver] Description=Oracle BI Server ServerMachine=qtflnx10.us.oracle.com Repository= Catalog= UID=Administrator PWD=Administrator Port=9703
Use the following example for the {driver descriptor} entry for odbcinst.ini:
[ODBC Drivers] Oracle BI Server=Installed [driver descriptor. same as the one in essbase.cfg] [Oracle BI Server] [driver descriptor entry] Driver=/.../OracleBI/server/Bin/libnqsodbc.so [path to load OBI driver] APILevel=3 ConnectFunctions=YYN DriverODBCVer=3.52
FileUsage=0 SQLLevel=2
Add the following environment variables to the opmn.xml file:

<variable append="true" id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH" value="/vol1/prod1/OracleBI/server/Bin"/> <variable append="true" id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH" value="/vol1/prod1/OracleBI/web/Bin"/> <variable id="SATEMPDIR" value="/vol1/prod1/OracleBIData/tmp"/> <variable id="SAROOTDIR" value="/vol1/prod1/OracleBI"/> <variable id="SA_ROOTDIR" value="/vol1/prod1/OracleBI"/> <variable id="SADATADIR" value="/vol1/prod1/OracleBIData"/>

Be properly installed Be properly registered for printing in the computers registry Be available to the SYSTEM account Have access to, and be able to print from, the printers installed by Financial Reporting (HRPrinter1-5). The SYSTEM account issues all print requests, so it is important that the applications can print using the Print Servers printers.
To optimize the print server, disable the following items:

l
All add-ins (including EPM System add-ins) from all Microsoft Office applications to enhance application launch time and consume system resources. If enabled, it may display UI components that require user input. SmartTags (Office 2002+) to enhance performance. Office Assistant which prompts the user for input, which halts printing.
Tip: Dedicate a machine as a print server, and ensure that add-ins are not used.
Configuring X11 for Web Application Server Components for Financial Reporting (UNIX)
To perform chart generation, Financial Reporting requires access to a graphics display device, either real or virtual. Oracle recommends that you use an X virtual frame buffer (Xvfb) instead of a hardware graphics display device, because Xvfb performs all operations in memory and does not require that screens or input devices be attached to the machine. For details about enabling Xvfb, see Appendix H, Enabling an X Virtual Frame Buffer for Financial Reporting and Production Reporting. You must also set the DISPLAY variable for Production Reporting to generate charts.
Configuring SAP Data Source Access and Authentication

To configure Reporting and Analysis (Web Analysis, and Production Reporting) to access SAP JAVA Connector (SAP JCo) data sources and optionally to authenticate users against an SAP server, install the SAP JCo files to each Reporting and Analysis component machine.
To configure Reporting and Analysis to use SAP as a data source and optionally to use SAP
as an authentication provider:
Obtain the SAP JCo files:

l
From your SAP distribution Download from the SAP Web site as a registered user at https://
service.sap.com/connectors
(Windows) After Reporting and Analysis installation:
a. Place the SAP JCo binaries in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/SAP/bin. b. Place the SAP JCo java archives (JAR files) in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/SAP/lib. c. Expand the JAR file, using the convenience utility, in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ SAP/lib/explodejarUsingJRE.bat|sh.
UNIX: After Reporting and Analysis installation, place the SAP JCo binaries in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/ common/SAP/bin. Place the SAP JCo java archives (.jar files) in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ SAP/lib. Optional: To configure Reporting and Analysis to use SAP as an authentication provider:
a. Download these files from the SAP Enterprise Portal EP60 SP2 or later into EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/SAP/lib. For the 64-bit version of Financial Reporting, use EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ SAP-64/lib.
l
com.sap.security.core.jar com.sap.security.api.jar sap.logging.jar iaik_jce.jar
iaik_jce_export.jar (if using the export version of the IAIK-JCE libraries)
b. After installation, expand the JAR files, using the convenience utility, in
EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/SAP/lib/explodejarUsingJRE.bat|sh
For the 64-bit version of Financial Reporting, use EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ SAP-64/lib/explodejarUsingJRE.bat|shs.
Adding Drivers for Web Analysis

If you are using an RDBMS as a data source or for relational drill-through, add the necessary drivers.
To add drivers for Windows:

1
Append EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/deploymentScripts/ setCustomParamsWebAnalysis.bat with an updated value for the EXT_POST_CLASSPATH variable. Add each RDBMS driver JAR file separately into the variable definition. For example:
set EXT_POST_CLASSPATH=C:/jdbcdrivers/db2java.jar;C:/jdbcdrivers/db2jcc.jar;C:/ jdbcdrivers/db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar;C:/jdbcdrivers/ojdbc14.jar;%EXT_POST_CLASSPATH%
Editing this file affects only the Web Analysis services that were started using startWebAnalysis.bat in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin.
Using Regedit, look in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions \WebAnalysis\HyS9WebAnalysis\JVMOptionX for the Djava.class.path value, and append the driver paths.
For example, for SQL Server, you might append:

C:\jdbc\msbase.jar;C:\jdbc\mssqlserver.jar;C:\jdbc\msutil.jar;C:\jdbc\sqljdbc.jar
The full list of JAR files:

l
Oracle - ojdbc14.jar DB2 - db2java.jar db2jcc.jar db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar

db2jcc_license_cu.jar
SQL Server - msbase.jar mssqlserver.jar msutil.jar sqljdbc.jar
Restart Web Analysis.
To add drivers for UNIX:

1
Append EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/deploymentScripts/ setCustomParamsWebAnalysis.sh with an updated value for EXT_POST_CLASSPATH variable. Add each RDBMS driver JAR file into the variable definition separately. For example:
EXT_POST_CLASSPATH=$HOME/jdbcdrivers/db2java.jar:$HOME/jdbcdrivers/db2jcc.jar:$HOME/ jdbcdrivers/db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar:$HOME/jdbcdrivers/ojdbc14.jar:$ {EXT_POST_CLASSPATH} export EXT_POST_CLASSPATH
Restart Web Analysis.
Setting up the Environment Variables for Production Reporting (UNIX)

You run a script to set the environment variables. The scripts are in specified database directories.
To configure the environment variables, locate the environment scripts in the following
directories:
EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/biplus/bin/SQR/Server/db_name/bin
or, for the 64-bit version:

EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/biplus/bin/SQR/Server/db_name/bin64
where db_name is the name of the database. The following databases are supported: Oracle, Sybase, Informix, DB2, ODBC, DDO, and Teradata.
l
For all databases, the following script configures the basic environment variables:
m
For C Shell: source setenv.csh For Bourne or Korn Shell: setenv.sh For C Shell: source setjre.csh For Bourne or Korn Shell: setjre.sh
For the DDO database, the following script configures additional environment variables:
m
In addition, for jobs with charts, configure X11 display as described in Appendix H, Enabling an X Virtual Frame Buffer for Financial Reporting and Production Reporting.
Preparing Interactive Reporting for Printing (UNIX)

To prepare Interactive Reporting for printing:
1 2
Ensure that Acrobat Reader is installed. If the installation location for Acrobat Reader is not in the PATH, set a new environment variable: PATH_TO_ACROREAD, where the path is the Acrobat Reader installation location.
Configuring Fonts (UNIX)

Perform these procedures if you want to improve the quality of the fonts. Interactive Reporting Service must be configured with appropriate fonts to ensure that BQY documents in EPM Workspace have a consistent look and feel with the Web Client. You must make Type1, TrueType, or OpenType fonts available to Interactive Reporting Service. The configured fonts must support characters for all intended languages.
EPM System Installer installs Andale WT font in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/biplus/ fonts directory and configures Interactive Reporting Service to use it. This font supports most characters from Western European languages, as well as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Customers must use fonts appropriate for their usage. For example, when using Western European languages, for a Windows-like look and feel, you could download Microsofts TrueType Web fonts and configure as below:
To make Microsofts TrueType Web fonts available to EPM Workspace:

1 2 3
Download the Microsoft TrueType Web fonts from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/ or other source.

Create a directory for the font files. If you are using downloaded Microsoft fonts, extract each file (*.exe) into the newly created directory using the cabextract utility:
downloadLocation/cabextract -d directory CAB file
Tip: Cabextract is an open-source tool that enables you to extract font files. You can
download it from the Web.
Using the ttmkfdir utility, create a fonts.dir file in the directory containing the font files.
Tip: You can download the ttmkfdir utility from the following URL: http://
packages.debian.org/stable/x11/ttmkfdir.
Add the fonts.dir directory to environment variable FONT_PATH, or add it to the BQ_FONT_PATH environment variable inside EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/raframeworkrt/ 11.1.2.0/bin/set_common_env.sh. Restart Interactive Reporting Service.
Re-creating the Executables (Production Reporting Only) (UNIX)

For Production Reporting for Sybase, Oracle, Informix, DB2, and Teradata, ensure that you have the proper database client software installed on the same machine as Production Reporting. Production Reporting for ODBC and DDO does not require additional libraries. If you have your own user-defined functions, if a new version of the database libraries becomes available, or to apply OS-level patches, then you must relink the product as described in this section. The Production Reporting script uses standard environment variables for each database to identify the location of the libraries. You must re-create the executables if the version of the operating system or database client software is different than when the original executables were created. Find the versions by using the following command line flag:
-id
To re-create the executables, enter the following commands from a shell:

cd EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/biplus/bin/SQR/Server/db_name/lib ./sqrmake
where db_name is the name of one of the following database names: Oracle, Informix, DB2, Sybase, ODBC, DDO, or Teradata.
HYPERION_HOME and SQRDIR are required to re-create the executables. Set SQRDIR to EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/biplus/bin/SQR/Server/db_name/bin.

Configuring the Keystore for Oracle Web Services Manager

Set up the Keystore for message protection and configure the Credential Store Provider. The Financial Close Management client and the Financial Management Web service use the following policies:
l
wss11_saml_token_with_message_protection_client_policy wss11_saml_token_with_message_protection_service_policy
To set up the keystore used by Web Services Manager:

1
Create a Keystore.
See How to Create and Use a Java Keystore in the Setting up the Keystore for Message Protection section of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Security and Administrator's Guide for Web Services 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web. 1111/b32511/setup_config.htm#BABJHIBI). Use the keytool to create a Java keystore. For example, go to /Oracle/Middleware/ user_projects/$DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig in the server running the
WebLogic Administration Server hosting your EPM System domain and execute the following command to add a key pair to the keystore:
keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -alias orakey -keypass welcome1 -keystore defaultkeystore.jks -storepass welcome1 -validity 3600
This command creates a keystore with the name default-keystore.jks if it does not already exist and adds a new private key entry with alias 'orakey' and password welcome1 to it. You can change the alias, password, and domain name as needed in the command.
Note: If the keytool command is not recognized, the Path environmental variable might not include JDK. Add the JDK to the Path variable using the following command: set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Oracle\Middleware\JDK160_21\bin\;.;.
Assign the Keystore to the EPM System WebLogic domain.

To receive e-mail notifications in a language different from the default language specified on the SOA server, specify the user's language preference in the identity store. For example, with an LDAP-based identity store: 1. Connect to the identity store. 2. Navigate to the user entry. 3. Add or set the preferredLanguage attribute.
Reconfiguring External Providers (Maintenance Release Only)

After you have applied the maintenance to move from Financial Close Management Release 11.1.2.0 to Release 11.1.2.1, if you are using an external provider, perform the following tasks to reconfigure the SOA Server to communicate with an external provider, such as OID, MSAD, or SunOne.
To reconfigure an external provider:

1 2 3 4
Shut down all servers (SOA Server, WebLogic Administration Server). Navigate to domain/config/fmwconfig and open jps-config.xml in a text editor. Remove the <serviceInstance> entry that was added during Release 11.1.2.1 installation, with the name idstore.AD (for MSAD), idstore.OID (for OID), or idstore.IPLANET (for SunOne). In the <default> context, remove the line that includes the service instance reference you just deleted. For example, in the following entry for MSAD, remove <serviceInstanceRef ref="idstore.AD" />.
<jpsContext name="default"> <serviceInstanceRef ref="credstore" /> <serviceInstanceRef ref="keystore" /> <serviceInstanceRef ref="policystore.xml" /> <serviceInstanceRef ref="audit" /> <serviceInstanceRef ref="idstore.AD" /> </jpsContext>
Make sure the entry idstore.ldap exists in the default context.

Starting and Stopping EPM System Products
Using a Single Script to Start Services................................................................. 281 Summary List of Services and Processes .............................................................. 282 Services and Processes ................................................................................. 284 Launching Clients ........................................................................................ 304
This chapter identifies how to start EPM System products and lists them in the order in which Oracle recommends that they be started. This chapter also provides default URLs for EPM System products. Before you start any services or processes, start all databases used as repositories.
Note: Some services or processes take longer than others to start, and startup times may vary
by computer. If you selected Run Windows Services as non-local system account and specified a user name and password on the Configure Common Settings panel of EPM System Configurator, Windows services are started using the specifed user name. If you do not specify a user name and password, EPM System Configurator creates Windows services using the local system account. Before you start the services, change them to use the appropriate domain account. Note that Start menu items for Web applications are available only on the machine on which the Web server is installed.
Caution!
If you started the SOA Server to configure Financial Close Management, stop it before starting EPM System services. If you are using Financial Close Management, see the required service startup order in Financial Close Management Application Server on page 302.
Using a Single Script to Start Services

EPM System Installer installs a single start script in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin, called start.bat|sh. Running the single start script on a machine in your EPM System deployment starts all EPM System services installed on that machine.
Using a Single Script to Start Services 281
To launch the single start script from the Start menu, Select Start, then Programs, then Oracle EPM System, then Foundation Services, and then Start EPM System. Run this start script on each machine in your environment. The single start script works by calling the individual start scripts for every product in the recommended startup order, specified in Summary List of Services and Processes on page 282. Before you can use a service in this list, services preceding it in the list must be started. When you use the single start script, some services may start before services they depend on start (because startup times vary). When this happens, you may need to wait to use some services while other services finish initializing. After the single start script completes, you can run EPM System Diagnostics to determine which services on a machine are running. See Chapter 9, Validating the Installation and Verifying Deployment. A single stop script, stop.bat|sh is also installed in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin. Running the stop script on a machine in your EPM System deployment stops all EPM System products on that machine.
Summary List of Services and Processes

The following EPM System product services and processes are listed below in their recommended startup order.
Caution!
1. Databases for repositories. 2. Any corporate user directories that you plan to configure for use with Shared Services. 3.

By default, Essbase Studio Server runs in the background on UNIX. This behavior is controlled by a combination of an Essbase Studio Server property (server.runInBackground), EPM System environment variables, and startServer.sh.
To start Essbase Studio Server in the foreground on UNIX:

1. In the Essbase Studio server.properties file, set the server.runInBackground property to false or comment it out. The server.properties file is located in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/user_projects/ epmsystem1/BPMS/bpms/bin/server.properties. See Oracle Essbase Studio User's Guide for information on this property. 2. Set these variables in the environment where you plan to run startServer.sh:
EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE=/installationPath/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1 EPM_ORACLE_HOME=/installationPath/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1 JAVA_HOME="${EPM_ORACLE_HOME}/../jdk160_21/jre"
JAVA_OPTIONS="-DESSBASE_STUDIO_INSTANCE=${EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE}/BPMS/bpms1 -DsuppressAPSProductInfo=true"
3. Edit the Essbase Studio startServer.sh shell as follows:

startServer.sh is located in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/Essbase/ EssbaseStudio/Server/startServer.sh.
l
Locate the last line of the file:

nohup "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java" -Xms128m -Xmx768m $JAVA_OPTIONS jar "${EPM_ORACLE_HOME}/products/Essbase/EssbaseStudio/Server/server.jar" >/dev/ null &

EPM System Uninstaller indicates the success or failure of the uninstallation. If any part of the uninstallation failed, EPM System Uninstaller notes which assembly failed to uninstall. Check the log files for more information about the errors. You can find the log files in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/diagnostics/logs/install. There is a log file for each assembly, named product-install.log; for example, hss-install.log.
6 7
Click or select Finish to close EPM System Uninstaller. On Windows, if you uninstalled Oracle HTTP Server, you must reboot to completely remove the installation. This step is required if you plan to reinstall.
On Windows 2008, you must reboot after uninstalling EPM System products.
320 Uninstalling EPM System
Performing a Silent Uninstallation

Silent uninstallations automate the uninstallation process so that you can uninstall EPM System products on multiple computers without manually specifying uninstallation settings on each machine. To uninstall EPM System products on multiple computers using the same uninstallation options, record a response file during installation. You can then run a silent uninstallation from the command line, using the options that were saved in the response file.
To run a silent uninstallation:

1
Copy the response file that you created during installation to the machine on which you want to run the uninstallation. You can also copy the file to a network drive that is accessible from the machines on which you want to uninstall.
For information about recording a response file during installation, see Performing Silent Installations on page 105.
From the command line, enter a command:

uninstall.cmd -silent filename
for Windows or
uninstall.sh -silent filename
for UNIX. The uninstallation runs in the background.

Rehosting Foundation Services Web Application
Rehosting Foundation Services ......................................................................... 329
If you want to rehost the Foundation Services Web Application to a different machine, follow the procedures in this appendix.
Rehosting Foundation Services

To rehost the Foundation Services Web application on a new machine, you use EPM System Configurator to create a cluster, update the Web Server, then update the logical Web application for Foundation Services to point to the Web Server, relying on the Oracle HTTP Server clustering. This procedure assumes that you have already installed and configured Foundation Services on Node 1. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, you have already created a new Shared Services database, created a new WebLogic domain, and configured the Web server.
To rehost the Foundation Services Web application on Node 2:

1 2
Start the WebLogic Administration Server on Node 1. Install and configure Foundation Services on Node 2. During configuration with EPM System Configurator:
l
Create a new EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE. During database configuration for Shared Services, select Connect to a previously configured Shared Services database, and specify the Shared Services database that you configured for Node 1. Deploy to the same WebLogic domain. Configure the Web Server.
3 4 5 6
Reconfigure the Web server again on Node 1 using EPM System Configurator. Stop WebLogic Admininstration Server on Node 1. Start Weblogic Node Manager on both Node 1 and Node 2. For example, run startNodeManager.cmd in MIDDLEWARE_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin. Start WebLogic Admininstration Server on Node 1.
Rehosting Foundation Services 329
From the WebLogic Admininstration Server Console, start the Shared Services managed server on Node 1 and Node 2.
Note: Oracle recommends that you start and stop Shared Services on Node 2 using the
WebLogic Administration Server Console to avoid Shared Services startup failures on Node 2.
8 9
Start the Web Server on Node 1 only. Access Shared Services using the following URL: http://Node1:19000/interop/
index.jsp.
10 To test that high availability is working, stop Shared Services on Node 1 and launch Shared Services
again using the following URL: http://Node1:19000/interop/index.jsp.
WebLogic redirects and launches Shared Services from Node 2.

Additional Essbase Configuration
Changing JVMModuleLocation (UNIX).................................................................. 331 Changing JVMMODULELOCATION (Windows).......................................................... 332 Configuring 32-Bit Essbase Server on a 64-Bit Platform............................................. 332 Configuring the 32-bit Runtime Client on a 64-bit Windows Platform .............................. 336
This appendix describes additional configuration settings you might need for Essbase.
Changing JVMModuleLocation (UNIX)

The JVMMODULELOCATION setting in the essbase.cfg file enables you to designate a specific installation of JRE for use with Essbase, and is required to enable Data Mining, Shared Services, custom defined functions, triggers, and external authentication. This setting is particularly useful if you have multiple versions of Java installed on the Essbase Server computer. During Essbase Server configuration, the correct setting for JVMMODULELOCATION is automatically added to essbase.cfg. To change the JVMMODULELOCATION parameters, you must specify the full path and file name of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) library. The location and name of the library varies, depending on the operating system that you are using. EPM System Installer installs JRE in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/JDK160_21/jre.
Note: To run 64bit Essbase on any 64bit operating system requires a 64bit JVM.
Managing Memory with JvmModuleLocation

If you are not using Data Mining, Shared Services, custom defined functions, triggers, or external authentication, you can reduce the amount of memory used by editing essbase.cfg and setting JvmModuleLocation to null (empty). If you are using these features, and need to reduce the amount of memory used, then you can reduce the JVM heap size by setting the following environment variables:
ESS_JVM_OPTION1=-Xmx16m
Changing JVMModuleLocation (UNIX) 331
Because the default minimum and maximum for JVM heap size are different for different platforms and versions, set the correct value for your environment. For example, see the following as a reference: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v4r0/index.jsp? topic=/com.ibm.support.was.doc/html/Java_SDK/1132680.html.
Changing JVMMODULELOCATION (Windows)

The JVMMODULELOCATION setting in the essbase.cfg file enables you to designate a specific installation of JRE for use with Essbase, and is required to enable Data Mining, Shared Services, custom defined functions, triggers, and external authentication. This setting is particularly useful if you have multiple versions of Java installed on the Essbase Server computer. During Essbase Server configuration, the correct setting for JVMMODULELOCATION is automatically added to essbase.cfg. To change JVMMODULELOCATION parameters, you must specify the full path and file name of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) library. The location and name of the library varies, depending on the operating system that you are using. EPM System Installer installs JRE in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/JDK160_21/jre.
Note: To run 64bit Essbase on any 64bit operating system requires a 64bit JVM.
Configuring 32-Bit Essbase Server on a 64-Bit Platform

EPM System Installer installs both 32-bit and 64-bit Essbase Server on a machine with a 64-bit operating system. If you want to use the 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit machine, use the procedure below for your platform.

Database Information for Financial Management
Database Connection Pooling .......................................................................... 343
Database Connection Pooling

During Financial Management configuration, you specify the maximum number of relational database connections used by each application. Financial Management uses connection pooling to communicate with the database. Connection pooling enables more efficient database utilization and does not require that each user be set up in the relational repository. During configuration, EPM System Configurator enables you to specify the number of pooled database connections. The number of connections that you specify in EPM System Configurator is the maximum number of pooled connections consumed by an application. The pool starts with eight connections. If, after a certain number of attempts, the pool is unable to service a request for an additional connection, it adds eight more connections. The system continues adding blocks of eight connections until it reaches the maximum number of connections defined in the utility. If the system needs an additional connection beyond this limit, a temporary connection is created to service the request, which is closed after the task is complete. The system also creates additional connection pools that are reserved for system use and are not used for user activity. The system-use pools are divided into these connection types:
l
A pool of nine connections per application is reserved for system activity. A pool of eight connections per application is reserved for error handling. A pool of eight connections per application server is created for user logon activities. The user logon pool can grow by four to the system-defined maximum value of 16 connections. Connections required above the maximum are temporary.
In general, 25 connections are dedicated to system-level activities: eight connections reserved for each application server, and 17 connections reserved for each application. Connection use is dependent on the activity type. Users with Read access, which are the majority of users in an application, generally use one or no connections. Users with Write access can consume more connections, as they write to the database. The number of connections consumed by a user with Write access, for example, a consolidator, depends on the application server hardware and quantity of data being written. In general, users with Write access may use 5 10 connections.
Database Connection Pooling 343
Financial Management opens the defined number of connections when an application is first opened. The connections are then available for subsequent users of the system. If a user process requests a connection, and all connections are in use, the system polls the connection pool for a short time, waiting for an available connection. If no connection is available, the system creates eight connections and adds them to the pool. The connection pool is limited to the total that you define in EPM System Configurator. Connections are application-specific. The default pool is created only after an application is opened. However, connections are not released on an application basis; they are released on an application server basis. Thus, all connections are not released until the application server has no Financial Management users accessing any application.
Note: Note that application processes do not shut down even when all users have logged out of
all applications if the Financial Management Service is running, because the service perpetuates application instances. In addition, in an environment with more than one Financial Management application server, all users might need to log out of all applications on all servers before the application process shuts down and the database connections are released. In both cases, you must also stop the Financial Management service. Financial Management also supports Extended Analytics, which enables extracting data to a relational database for use with other systems, such as Analytic Services. The extract process has a dedicated connection pool that is created when a star schema is created. The default pool is 16 temporary connections that are destroyed when the processing is complete.
Example 1
Three applications on one application server, default maximum connection pooling is used (40 connections)
l
Application A is logged on: 8 connections (plus system) Application B is logged on: 8 connections (plus system) Application C is logged on: 8 connections (plus system) System connections: 59 (8 plus 17 per application) Total connections: 83
Note: Total connections could grow by 96 if all application connection pools expand to the
system maximum as defined in EPM System Configurator (default is 40).

l
Application B is logged off (no users) Total connections: 83 All users log off all applications Total connections: 0
344 Database Information for Financial Management
Example 2
One application on two application servers, default maximum connection pooling is used (40 connections)
l
Application A is logged on (server 1): 8 connections (plus system) Application A is logged on (server 2): 8 connections (plus system) System connections: 50 (8 plus 17 per application per application server) Total connections: 66 Application A (server 2) is logged off (no users) Total connections: 33 All users log off all applications Total connections: 0
At times, connectivity between the application server and the database server might be lost because of network issues, for example. If the system detects that a connection is no longer valid, it attempts to re-create the connection. Deleting applications also consumes the default number of pooled connections. Before deleting an application, Financial Management opens the application to verify security access, consuming the default number of connections. After security is validated, the system deletes the application.

Updating the Shared Services Registry
Understanding the Shared Services Registry Component Hierarchy ................................ 347 Editing the Shared Services Registry ................................................................... 348
You can edit the Shared Services Registry using a command line utility. Use this utility only if you are unable to make the required changes to the Shared Services Registry using EPM System Configurator.
Tip: You can make most changes using EPM System Configurator. For example, to make
changes to a deployed Web application, you can select the Configure Logical Address for Web Applications task in EPM System Configurator to make changes without having to redeploy the Web application. See Update Logical Address for Web Applications on page 144. You use the epmsys_registry.bat utility (epmsys_registry.sh on UNIX) to make any required changes to the Shared Services Registry.
Understanding the Shared Services Registry Component Hierarchy

To make corrections to the Shared Services Registry, you have to understand its structure. During configuration of 11.1.x products, EPM System Configurator automatically updates the Shared Services Registry with components for each product. Components also have child components, creating a hierarchy. Each component of the hierarchy has its own component properties. You need to know both the component names and the component property names to update the Shared Services Registry. For example, the ESSBASE_PRODUCT component includes the following component properties:
l
host agent_PortNumber
Understanding the Shared Services Registry Component Hierarchy 347
To find the component property names and child components for any component, you can use a command to view the component in the Shared Services Registry. See Viewing the Components in the Shared Services Registry on page 348.
Editing the Shared Services Registry

To edit the Shared Services Registry:
1 2
Back up the Shared Services Registry. On a machine hosting the 11.1.x EPM System software, go to EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin and run the following command:
epmsys_registry view componentType
You need to view the component hierarchy to get the component property names that required to delete a component or update a component property. For information see Viewing the Components in the Shared Services Registry on page 348.
Depending on the required changes, refer to the following commands:
To delete a component, see Deleting a Component Instance on page 349. To update a component property, see Updating a Component Property on page 349.
Note: When you run epmsys_registry commands on UNIX platforms, all # must be preceded by \.
If you changed the LOGICAL_WEB_APP property for any product, run EPM System Configurator and configure the Web Server again. (On the Task Selection page, select the Oracle's Hyperion Foundation Services Web Server Configuration task.)
Viewing the Components in the Shared Services Registry

Before you can delete a component or update a component property, you need to view the component hierarchy to get the component property names and values.
To view the component hierarchy:

1
Go to EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin and use the following command:
epmsys_registry view componentType
where componentType is the name of the component in the Oracle's Hyperion Shared Services Registry. This command displays all the components in the specified hierarchy, displaying only the immediate children of the component. The information is displayed in the console. For example, to view all the components in the PLANNING_PRODUCT hierarchy, run:
348 Updating the Shared Services Registry
epmsys_registry view SYSTEM9/PLANNING_PRODUCT
If needed, repeat the command to get the property names for a subcomponent.
For example, LOGICAL_WEB_APP is a child of PLANNING_PRODUCT. To view the properties for LOGICAL_WEB_APP for Planning , enter the following command:
epmsys_registry view SYSTEM9/PLANNING_PRODUCT/LOGICAL_WEB_APP
From the display, note the following information about components you want to delete or update:
l
Component ID for any components you want to delete or update Component property names and values for any components you want to update
For example, the LOGICAL_WEB_APP for Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition has several properties, including context, port, and host.
Deleting a Component Instance

You delete a component instance by referring to the component's ID that is displayed when you view the component hierarchy.
To delete a component from the component hierarchy, go to EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/

bin and run the following command:
epmsys_registry deletecomponent #componentID
where componentID is the component's ID that you found when you viewed the component hierarchy. On UNIX, run:
epmsys_registry.sh deletecomponent \#componentID
Deleting a node does not delete its children.

Tip: If you are deleting a product node, first delete all the children of the node and then delete
the product node.

Caution!
Ensure that you delete the correct component.
Updating a Component Property

You update a component property by referring to the component ID and the component property name that are displayed when you view the component hierarchy.
To update a component property, go to EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin and run the

following command:
epmsys_registry updateproperty #componentID/@componentProperty value
Editing the Shared Services Registry 349
where componentID is the component's ID you found when you viewed the component hierarchy, componentProperty is the component property name you want to update, and value is the new value for the component property. On UNIX, run:
epmsys_registry.sh updateproperty \#componentID/@componentProperty value
Component property names are case sensitive.

Tip: Look for the component property names in the section called Properties when you view
the component hierarchy. In addition, you can update the host a component is running on using the property name host. For example, to change the port number for the Essbase Server with the component ID 99999 to port number 1425, enter the following command:
epmsys_registry updateproperty #99999/@agent_PortNumber 1425

Create Registry Tree With Updated HFMHitRegistry.xml File

This procedure is performed in your 11.1.2.1 environment in order to update the 11.1.2.1 Shared Services Registry so that it contains information about 9.3.3 Financial Management. In your 11.1.2.1 environment, follow these steps to create the Financial Management Registry Tree: 1. Copy the updated version of HFMHitRegistry.xml to %EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE%\bin folder. The default location should be C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects \epmsystem1\bin. 2. Open a Command Prompt window (Select Start, then Run, type cmd, then press Enter). 3. Navigate to the %EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE%\bin folder. You can use these steps: a. If you installed EPM system on C Drive, type C: in the command prompt. b. Type cd %EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE%\bin or cd C:\Oracle\Middleware \user_projects\epmsystem1\bin. 4. Create the Financial Management Registry tree using the following command:
epmsys_registry.bat createcomponenthierarchy HFMHitRegistryTree.xml. Caution!
The epmsys_registry.bat createcomponenthierarchy HFMHitRegistryTree.xml can only be run once in the environment. Any subsequent corrections need to be done by following the instructions to modify the Shared Services Registry in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Release 11.1.2.1 Installation and Configuration Guide.
5. Optional: Check epmsys_registry.bat to see that the report lists System 9- 9.3.3.
Making Corrections to Shared Services Registry

If you made an error when updating the registry, you can use the update property command to edit the Shared Services Registry. See the Updating the Shared Services Registry section in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Release 11.1.2.1 Installation and Configuration Guide. If any property under FINANCIAL_MANAGEMENT_WEB_APP component needs to be updated, the corresponding property under LOGICAL_WEB_APP:FINANCIAL_MANAGEMENT_WEB_APP component also needs to be updated and vice versa. These components must be kept in synch. The same guidelines apply to the following pairs of components: LOGICAL_WEB_APP:FINANCIAL_MANAGEMENT_ASPNET_WEBSERVICE and FINANCIAL_MANAGEMENT_ASPNET_WEBSERVICE; Default and FINANCIAL_MANAGEMENT_WEBSERVICE.
Add Proxy Information to the Oracle HTTP Server Configuration

In your 11.1.2.1 environment, perform these changes on the machine running Foundation Service Oracle HTTP Server proxy server. 1. Add the following information to the end of the httpd.conf file located in
<ORACLE_MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\user_projects\epmsystem1\httpConfig\ohs \config\OHS\ohs_component ProxyPass /hfm http://<HFM_WEB_SERVER>:80/hfm ProxyPassReverse /hfm http://<HFM_WEB_SERVER>:80/hfm Note: The proxy virtual directory name must be "hfm" or the same name as the HFM IIS
virtual directory for HFM Web. 2. Restart the Oracle HTTP Server proxy server.
Verify the ASP.NET Version

In your 9.3.3 environment, ensure that the HFMApplication Service is using ASP.NET version 2.0.50727. To verify the ASP.NET version: 1. Select Start, then Run, type Inetmgr and select OK to open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. 2. Under Web Sites, right-click on HFMApplicationService and select Properties. 3. Select the ASP.NET tab, and ensure that the ASP.NET version is 2.0.50727. If it is not currently selected, select it from the drop-down menu.
Import 9.3.3 HFM Integration XML file, FMIntegrationTypes.xml into Financial Close Management
You need to import the 9.3.3 version of the Financial Management Integration xml file, FMIntegrationTypes.xml, into 11.1.2.0.1 Financial Close Management. The FMIntegrationTypes.xml file is provided with Financial Management 9.3.3 and is located in the following directory: C:\Hyperion\FinancialManagement\Integration\FCM or on MyOracleSupport. To import the integration file (FMIntegrationTypes.xml), see the Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management Administrators Guide.
Additional Procedures for Reporting and Analysis

Use this procedure to enable Financial Reporting 9.3.3 to work with Financial Close Management 11.1.2.1.
1. Modify the 9.3.3 FRIntegrationTypes.xml file according to the instructions provided with the patch that you downloaded from MyOracleSupport. This xml file contains all of the integration types and definitions associated with Financial Reporting. 2. Import the modified FRIntegrationTypes.xml file into Financial Close Management following the instructions in the Manage Integration Types section of the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Financial Close Management Administrator's Guide. 3. Optionally, if you want to access Financial Close Management 11.1.2.1 from Oracle Hyperion Workspace 9.3.3, follow the procedures in the Oracle Hyperion Reporting and Analysis 9.3.3 Readme.
Additional Procedures for FDM

Financial Close Management release 11.1.2.1 includes the ability to launch three specific FDM pages: Import, Multiload, and Journals. The XML file included with this patch is used when integrating Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management (FDM) Release 9.3.3.0 with Financial Close Management Release 11.1.2.1. To integrate FDM Release 9.3.3.0 with Financial Close Management Release 11.1.2.1, perform these steps: 1. Modify the 9.3.3 FDMIntegrationTypes.xml file according to the instructions provided with the patch that you downloaded from MyOracleSupport. 2. Import the modified FDMIntegrationTypes.xml file into Financial Close Management following the instructions in the Manage Integration Types section of the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Financial Close Management Administrator's Guide.
Compatibility Limitations
Note the following compatibility issues when using Release 11.1.2.1 and Release 9.3.3 products in an environment:
l
The version of FDM must match the version of Financial Management you are using. FDM 9.3.3 or 11.1.2.1 will support navigation from Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management 11.1.2.1, however: FDM 9.3.3 cannot load a Financial Management 11.1.2.1 application nor can FDM 11.1.2.1 load a Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Fusion Edition 9.3.3 application. FDM 11.1.2.1 supports drill through from Financial Reporting or Smart View 11.1.2.1 but Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Fusion Edition 9.3.3 does not support Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition or Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office, Fusion Edition at all.

OPMN Service Failover for Essbase Server
Service Failover .......................................................................................... 369 opmn.xml Common Configuration .................................................................. 370
This appendix provides an overview of OPMN service failover concepts and lists the elements and attributes in the opmn.xml file that are required for configuring Essbase for failover. This file contains many other elements and attributes; see the Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server Administrator's Guide.
Service Failover
Service failover is a mechanism to specify a critical process that must be run somewhere in an Essbase cluster if service is disrupted on a processing server. This enables you to preferentially select which processes must be kept running. Any process-type opmn.xml file element may be configured as a service failover such that, once started, OPMN ensures that the configured number of processes for the service are running on Essbase instances somewhere in the cluster. You can configure which Essbase instances participate in the service failover on an instance-byinstance basis. You can configure each instance for preferential selection of running the process on available instances. Only one process-set may be defined for each process-type configured as a service failover. Only one process is run for each service failover instance. In the following diagram, a service failover process has been started in a cluster where all instances are configured to participate in the service failover.
As shown in the diagram below, if the instance on which the service failover process is running goes down, such as for maintenance or an unprotected power outage or network failure, OPMN
Service Failover 369
selects another participating Essbase instance on which to run the process. All of the instances shown in the diagram are participating in the service failover.

Parents: notification-server Attributes: none The topology element contains the configuration information for the ONS topology within a cluster. Example:
<topology> <nodes list="adc2170731:6712,dadvmn0429:6712"/> </topology>
<nodes>
Parents: topology Attributes: list The nodes element provides a list of specific addresses for OPMN servers in the same cluster as the local OPMN server. The local OPMN server is included in the list. Multiple nodes elements may be configured. Example:
<topology> <nodes list="adc2170731:6712,dadvmn0429:6712"/> </topology>
service-failover="num"
Valid Values: An integer value > 0 A process-type may be configured as a service-failover (if num is not zero), which represents a process that exists num times somewhere in the cluster when it is up. The implementation is limited such that only one process of this type runs on a single instance, and so the maximum number of processes for a specific service-failover in the cluster can never be more than the number of participating instances in the cluster. If the value of num is greater than the number of instances participating in this service-failover in the cluster and the service-failover is active (it has been started), then each participant added to the cluster automatically starts its service-failover process until the total number cluster wide is num. A service-failover process can run on any instance participating in the service, which means each instance must have the service configured with the same ias-component id, processtype id and process-set id. To target the service itself, a request must specify both the ias-component and the process-type (it can also include the process-set).
opmn.xml Common Configuration 371
A service-failover process-type can have only one process-set. Because the number of processes for a failover service is always 1, this process-set cannot specify numprocs, minprocs, or maxprocs. A service-failover can be specified as a dependency (like any managed-process) or can specify dependencies. If specified as a dependency, the dependency check for a servicefailover evaluates true as soon as one process of this type is active anywhere in the cluster, regardless of the configured value for num. Example:
<ias-component id="<Essbase-Cluster-Name>"> <process-type id="EssbaseAgent" module-id="ESS" service-failover="1" serviceweight="101"> <environment> <variable id="EPM_ORACLE_HOME" value="<Oracle Home-Location>> </environment> ... </process-type> </ias-component>
service-weight="value"
Default: 100 Valid Values: An integer value > 0 The instances that run the actual service-failover processes are selected based upon the configured (or default) service-weight value. Instances with higher weights are selected over instances with lower weights. If a set of instances have the same weight for a service, then the configured number of instances are selected from the set to run the processes. The service-weight attribute can only be specified if the service-failover attribute is set to a nonzero value. Example:
<ias-component id="<Essbase-Cluster-Name>"> <process-type id="EssbaseAgent" module-id="ESS" service-failover="1" serviceweight="101"> <environment> <variable id="EPM_ORACLE_HOME" value="<Oracle Home-Location>> </environment> ... </process-type> </ias-component>
restart-on-death
Parents: <process-set> Valid Values: true or false If a managed process terminates unexpectedly, that is, is not stopped by a request, then OPMN does not automatically restart it.
Example:
<ias-component id="<Essbase-Cluster-Name>"> <process-type id="EssbaseAgent" module-id="ESS" service-failover="1" serviceweight="101"> <environment> ... </environment> <process-set id="AGENT" restart-on-death="true"> <module-data> <category id="start-parameters"> <data id="start-executable" value="$ESSBASEEXE"/> <data id="agent-port" value="1423"/> <data id="start-args" value="-b"/> </category> ... </module-data> </process-type> </ias-component>
start/stop/restart timeout
Parents: <process-set> Valid Values: An integer > 0 and < 3600 A timeout value can be configured for each action. Example:
<ias-component id="<Essbase-Cluster-Name>"> <process-type id="EssbaseAgent" module-id="ESS" service-failover="1" serviceweight="101"> <environment> ... </environment> <start timeout="600" retry="2" /> <stop timeout="600"/> <restart timeout="600" retry="2" /> </process-type> </ias-component>

The user account is maintained by the EPM System, but password administration and user authentication are performed by an external service, using a corporate directory such as Oracle Internet Directory (OID) or Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD).
failover The ability to switch automatically to a redundant
single resource which share task loads and provide failover support; eliminates one server or database as a single point of failure in a system.
cluster interconnect A private link used by a hardware cluster
standby database, server, or network if the primary database, server, or network fails or is shut down. A system that is clustered for failover provides high availability and fault tolerance through server redundancy and faulttolerant hardware, such as shared disks.
hardware cluster a collection of computers that provides a
for heartbeat information, to detect node failure.

cluster services Software that manages cluster member
operations as a system. With cluster services, you can define a set of resources and services to monitor through a heartbeat mechanism between cluster members and to move these resources and services to a different cluster member as efficiently and transparently as possible.
single view of network services (for example, an IP address) or application services (such as databases and Web servers) to clients of these services. Each node in a hardware cluster is a standalone server that runs its own processes. These processes can communicate with one another to form what looks like a single system that cooperatively provides applications, system resources, and data to users.
Glossary 379
high availability A system attribute that enables an
