Understanding Oracle Home and Install Home
When multiple Oracle products are installed on one computer, common internal and third-party components are installed to a central location called Oracle Home.
On Windows platforms, the Oracle Home (contains Oracle database products) location is defined in the system environment variable called EPM_ORACLE_HOME
(contains all Oracle products) and the default location is C:/Oracle/Middleware/PMSystem11R1
. Middleware contains products such as WebLogic.
On UNIX platforms, the Oracle Home value is stored in .hyperion.<hostname>
in the home directory, and the default location is $HOME/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1
.
See the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide for information on changing the Oracle Home location.
Oracle Home contains a \common
directory. An Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace installation adds a EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/Foundation/workspace
directory to Oracle Home, which is the default installation location or Install Home for EPM Workspace (that is, EPM_ORACLE_HOME\products\Foundation\workspace
on Windows, or EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/Foundation/Workspace
on UNIX).
