Installing Integrated Operational Planning in a Distributed Environment

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

1. Install Foundation Services on the EPM System machine and configure.

2. Install Foundation Services on the Integrated Operational Planning machine (where Integrated Operational 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 machine to the same directory on the IOP machine.

4. Start WebLogic Server server on the EPM System machine by running following command:

   • Windows:

     MIDDLEWARE_ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem/bin/startWebLogic.cmd

   • Linux:

     MIDDLEWARE_ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem/bin/startWebLogic.sh

5. Start Foundation Services server on the EPM System machine by running the following command:

   • Windows:

     EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/startFoundationServices.bat

   • Linux:

     EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/startFoundationServices.sh

6. Install Integrated Operational Planning on the Integrated Operational Planning machine and configure.

   • Modify property settings as shown in step 3.

   • 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

7. Copy the Integrated Operational Planning installation directory from the Integrated Operational Planning machine to the same directory path and name on the EPM System machine.

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

   Enter the following commands:

   • cd INSTALL_ROOT/bin

     where INSTALL_ROOT is the Integrated Operational Planning installation directory.

   • isreset

     Enter a license key code when prompted.

   • createiopinstance

9. Copy the following directories from the EPM System machine to the same directory on the Integrated Operational Planning machine:

   MW_ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem\bin
   MW_ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem/config
   EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/config

10. Copy EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/iop/INSTANCE_NAME from the Integrated Operational Planning server to the EPM System machine.

    This must be done before running Integrated Operational Planning.

11. Copy the Integrated Operational Planning installation directory from the Integrated Operational Planning machine to the same directory path and name on the EPM System machine.

12. Set Oracle HTTP Server settings on the EPM System machine as shown in Enabling Oracle HTTP Server as a Proxy.

13. Start the Integrated Operational Planning server by entering the following command on the Integrated Operational Planning machine:

    Windows:

    EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE\bin\startIOPServer_iopinstance1.bat

    Linux:

    EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/startIOPServer_iopinstance1.sh

14. After the server starts, open a second command prompt window and set the same system environment variables that you set earlier on the Integrated Operational Planning machine. (See step 2)

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

15. In the second command prompt window, navigate to the bin directory in the Integrated Operational Planning installation directory, and run initializesystem to load data into the Integrated Operational Planning database.

    Enter the following commands:

    • cd INSTALL_ROOT/bin

      where INSTALL_ROOT is the Integrated Operational Planning installation directory.

    • initializesystem -u IOP_ADMIN_USER-p IOP_ADMIN_PASSWORD

      where

      IOP_ADMIN_USER is a Shared Services user with the Integrated Operational Planning Administrator provision and

      IOP_ADMIN_PASSWORD is the password of IOP_ADMIN_USER.
