Installation Prerequisites

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. UAC must be disabled to install, configure, and run EPM System products. UAC can be enabled on end-user client desktops.

Ensure that there is 1 GB of temp space available.

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 - 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.

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.

Install Microsoft Office Professional before installing Disclosure Management. 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.
