Run EPM System Configurator on each computer hosting the products to configure or reconfigure.
For a list of characters supported during configuration with EPM System Configurator, see Characters Supported for Installation and Configuration.
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. UAC must be disabled to install, configure, and run EPM System products. UAC can be enabled on end-user client desktops. |
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. |
