Preparing to Use EPM Workspace

Prior to using Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace, familiarize yourself with your documentation set.

In addition, review the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Certification Matrix for information on system requirements.

Additional information that you need:

• Browser information—See the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Security Configuration Guide.
• EPM Workspace URL and domain
• User account—User name and password assigned to you. See your system administrator.
• Access permissions
• Preferences
• Database information

For Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, Adobe Acrobat Reader must be installed on your computer. Before you can view reports in PDF, a PDF writer (Adobe Acrobat Distiller, GNU Ghostscript or AFPL Ghostscript) must be installed with your print server. If a PDF viewer is not available, only report names are listed.

To enable Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) to view PDF reports in EPM Workspace

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Select Tools, and then Internet Options.
3. In Internet Options, select the General tab, and then in Browsing History, select Settings.
4. In Settings, in Check for newer versions of stored page, select Every visit to the page.

Note:

Oracle recommends that you add EPM Workspace to the exceptions for your web pop-up blocker. When you perform some EPM Workspace tasks on the web such as loading data, a status window shows the task status. If you have a pop-up blocker enabled on your computer, the status window is not displayed.

Note:

The first time you access a database connection, you may be prompted to log on. This occurs if the user name and password you use to log on to the web application differs from the user name and password for the database connection. Your administrator can provide you with the required database connection logon information.
