Install Oracle's Hyperion® Shared Services (Shared Services). See the Hyperion Shared Services Installation Guide.
Install Oracle Essbase Administration Services, which installs Business Rules automatically. See the Essbase Administration Services Installation Guide.
Create one empty database for Shared Services and one for Business Rules in Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager, Oracle, DB2, or MYSQL. See the Essbase Administration Services Installation Guide.
Configure Shared Services using the Oracle's Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Configurator. See the Hyperion Shared Services Installation Guide.
Configure Administration Services and Business Rules using the EPM System Configurator. (You use this utility to configure the application server and the relational database repository, and to register Administration Services and Business Rules with Shared Services.) See the Essbase Administration Services Installation Guide.
Provision users and groups for use in Business Rules, and assign Business Rules roles to them, using the Shared Services User Management Console™. See the Hyperion Security Administration Guide.
