Prepare the installation files.	Preparing for Installation
Install EPM System products.	Installing EPM System Products Installation notes: Review prerequisites. See Maintenance Release Installation Prerequisites. During installation, select Apply Maintenance Release. 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. Note that for clients that have a new client installer in Release 11.1.2.1 (Financial Reporting Studio Client, Planning Offline Client and Strategic Finance Client), applying the maintenance release installation option does not update the client software. You must install the client using the client installer. See Installing EPM System Clients.
Configure EPM System products using EPM System Configurator.	Configuring EPM System Products Ensure that you meet any configuration prerequisites that apply to your environment. See Configuration Prerequisites . 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. 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.
