Installation Prerequisites and Requirements

Note the following installation prerequisites.

  • Review the system requirements in the (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html).

  • You must install and configure all WebLogic instances on the same operating system.

  • Install the 32 bit version of on Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 on the Windows machine where Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting is installed. (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784).

    On Linux:

    Make sure libstdc++.so.6 is installed on the machine whereFinancial Reporting is installed.

  • See Preparing Your Environment for installation prerequisites.

  • Download files required for installation. See Downloading Files for Installation. Review the Media Pack Readme on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud to see which products are required or optional for use with your products.

  • For Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision, you must also install all Oracle Hyperion Financial Management components, although they do not need to be installed on the same machine as Tax Provision.

  • If you plan to deploy Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System products in an SSL-enabled environment, review the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Security Configuration Guide before you install and configure. The SSL implementation you choose affects the options you choose during configuration. Optionally, you can deploy non SSL and reconfigure to use SSL. See the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Security Configuration Guide .

  • Ensure that there is 1 GB of temp space available. You can specify an alternate /tmp directory if needed.

  • If you are installing on the same machine on which Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition or Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher are installed, install into two different Middleware homes. Future patch sets for EPM System and Oracle BI EE will be released at different times, which would create constraints for the upgrades of a merged Fusion Middleware Home.

    For information about Fusion Middleware, see https://www.oracle.com/middleware/technologies/bi-foundation/hyperion-supported-platforms.html.

  • If you are installing and configuring Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition, Oracle Data Integrator is automatically installed and configured for you. The database for Oracle Data Integrator is in same database as FDMEE and the Oracle Data Integrator agent application is deployed in same JVM as FDMEE. Optionally, you can install ODI Studio using ODI_STUDIO-11200.zip.

  • FDMEE is required for Account Reconciliation Manager in Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management. Configure Financial Close Management and Account Reconciliation Manager before configuring FDMEE.

  • Typically, EPM System Installer installs Oracle WebLogic Server for you. If you have an existing WebLogic Server installation and want to use it instead of the WebLogic Server installed by EPM System Installer, it must be the version supported by EPM System. Note the Middleware home location for the WebLogic Server installation. During installation, you must install EPM System products to this same Middleware home. If EPM System Installer detects an existing WebLogic Server installation in the installation location, it does not install WebLogic Server.

    If the existing WebLogic Server version is not the correct version for EPM System, you must either uninstall the current version, install the correct version, or upgrade to the correct version before running EPM System Installer.
