Issue: After a successful EPM System installation and configuration, you cannot start EPM System Configurator from the Windows Start menu, and you get this message:
FATAL ERROR: Environment variables check failed with message "Environment variables aren't set correctly"
Solution: Restart the computer.
Issue: Starting EPM System Configurator with a user name other than the one with which EPM System was installed produces this error message:
Inventory existence check failed for EpmSystem_username home was not found
Note: | Oracle recommends starting EPM System Configurator with the same user name with which EPM System was installed. |
Solution: Follow these steps:
Navigate to drive:/Program Files/Oracle/Inventory/ContentsXML.
Make a backup copy of inventory.xml and save it with a different file name or location..
Open inventory.xml in a text editor, and search for this line:
<HOME NAME="EpmSystem_Administrator" LOC="C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1" TYPE="O" IDX="3"
Copy and paste the line so that it occurs twice in the </HOME> section, as follows:
</HOME>
<HOME NAME="EpmSystem_Administrator" LOC="C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1" TYPE="O" IDX="3"
<HOME NAME="EpmSystem_Administrator" LOC="C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1" TYPE="O" IDX="3"
</HOME_LIST>
Edit the second occurrence of the line as follows, where user name is the user name you want to enable for EPM System Configurator:
<HOME NAME="EpmSystem_user name" LOC="C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1" TYPE="O" IDX="3" />
For example, if you edit the line to enable the user name jdsmith to start EPM System Configurator, the </HOME> section is as follows after your edit:
</HOME>
<HOME NAME="EpmSystem_Administrator" LOC="C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1" TYPE="O" IDX="3"
<HOME NAME="EpmSystem_jdsmith" LOC="C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1" TYPE="O" IDX="3" />
</HOME_LIST>
Save the edited inventory.xml file, and start EPM System Configurator with the newly enabled user name.
