Note: | The information in this section assumes that you have installed your Web applications on each node to be included in the cluster, using procedures provided in Chapter 3, “Installing EPM System Products,” in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide. |
Complete these tasks before setting up a cluster for an EPM System Web application:
Enable either session persistence or sticky sessions (which direct all requests for a specific session to the same server) on the load balancer.
Ensure that all the computers to be included in the cluster use either Windows or UNIX but not both.
Install the EPM System product on each node that the cluster will include. Install to the same file system location on each machine. Using the same file system path on each physical machine in a cluster is important so that these environment variables can be set once for the entire cluster, rather than set and customized for each node in the cluster:
All OS—CLASSPATH and PATH
UNIX—LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH, or SHLIB_PATH
