Specifying the Windows Account

The FDM Web Server components use the Microsoft .NET Framework. Therefore, you must specify the Windows account under which the .NET process will run. The FDM DCOM objects also use this account. The account can be a local or domain account. The alternative to granting the permissions listed below is to make the account a member of the local administrators group, though this is less secure. For detailed information on what access the specified Windows account requires for the .NET Framework, refer to the following Web page:

If the specified account does not have administrator rights, on the Web server, the account must have at least full control permission for the following folders and subfolders:

The Windows account must also have full control permission on the FDM application folders that reside on the data server.

  To specify the Windows account:

  1. From the Windows Start menu, launch Web Config Manager by selecting Programs > Oracle EPM System > Financial Data Quality Management > Web Server Components > Web Config Manager.

  2. On the General tab of the Web Config Manager, enter the Windows account user name, password, and domain for the .NET Web process to run under.

    The account information is stored in the IIS metabase.

    Note:

    Oracle recommends against running IIS in Isolation mode.

  3. Select the Load Balance Server tab, and specify the load balance server.

    The load -balance server is the computer that stores FDM application configurations and performs load balancing on FDM application servers. You may also specify a backup load balance server. If a backup is specified when you create, modify, add, or remove a FDM application, the application configuration file is copied from the load balance server to the backup load balance server.

  4. Restart IIS by opening a command prompt and typing IISReset.
