Installing Integrated Margin Planning in a Distributed Environment

  To install the EPM System server and the Integrated Margin Planning server on different machines:

1. Install EPM Foundation service on the EPM machine and configure.

2. Install EPM Foundation Service on the IMP machine (where Integrated Margin Planning will be installed) to the same directory path and name. Do not configure.

3. Copy EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE\user_projects\empsystem1 on the EPM System machine to the same directory on the Integrated Margin Planning machine.

4. Start WebLogic Server and the Foundation Services server on the EPM System machine by running following commands:

   • EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE\domains\EPMSystem\bin\startWebLogic.cmd

     This command starts the WebLogic Server.

   • EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE\bin\startFoundationServices.bat

     This command starts the Oracle's Hyperion® Foundation Services Server.

5. Install Integrated Margin Planning on the IMP machine and configure.

   • Modify property settings as shown in step 9.

   • Point to the correct WebLogic URL:.

     Server.Weblogic.AdminServer.URL=t3://foundation_server:weblogic_admin port

   • Point to the correct WebLogic domain name:

     Server.Weblogic.DomainName=EPMSystem

6. In the command prompt window, change to the \bin directory in the Integrated Margin Planning installation directory, reset the Integrated Margin Planning database, and start the server.

   Enter the following commands:

   • cd INSTALL_ROOT\bin

     where INSTALL_ROOT is the Integrated Margin Planning installation directory.

   • isreset

     Enter a license key code when prompted.

   • createiopinstance

7. Copy EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE\iop\<instancename> from the Integrated Margin Planning server to the administration server machine.

   This must be done before running Integrated Margin Planning.

8. Copy the Integrated Margin Planning installation directory from the Integrated Margin Planning machine to the same directory path and name on the EPM machine.

9. Import users by running the following commands:

   • cd INSTALL_ROOT\custom\bin

     where INSTALL_ROOT is the Integrated Operational Planning installation directory.

   • bootstraplcmusers –u <hss_admin_user> –p <hss_admin_password>

10. Start the Integrated Operational Planning server by entering the following command:

    EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE\bin\startIOPServer_iopinstance1.bat

11. After the server starts, open a second command prompt window and set the same system environment variables that you set earlier.

    If you created a batch command file containing the necessary command line, run the batch command in the second window.

12. In the second command prompt window, navigate to the custom\bin directory in the Integrated Margin Planning installation directory, and run bootstrap to load data into the Integrated Margin Planning database.

    Enter the following commands;

    • cd INSTALL_ROOT\custom\bin

      where INSTALL_ROOT is the Integrated Margin Planning installation directory.

    • bootstrap -u <imp_admin_user> -p <imp_admin_password>

      where imp_admin_user is any Shared Services user with the IOP Administrator provision.
