Configuration Prerequisites

Configuration prerequisite notes:

  • If you are using Windows 2016, see the post configuration information under the Oracle Hyperion Technology section in the Known Issues in 11.2.15 topic to enable support for Windows 2016 on Oracle Essbase 21c embedded with EPM 11.2.15.

  • Ensure that host names resolve properly for each machine in the deployment. See Ensuring that Host Names Resolve.

  • Use the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create schemas to support Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Java web applications, and then modify RCU schema properties. See Creating Infrastructure Schemas Using Repository Creation Utility and Updating RCU Schema Properties. You must run RCU and modify RCU schema properties on each machine in your environment.

  • If you plan to deploy EPM 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 SSL-Enabling EPM System Components in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Security Configuration Guide.

  • When you are deploying on a machine other than the machine hosting Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services, ensure that Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Server is running on the Foundation Services host machine (FNDHOST1): On the Foundation Services host machine, start WebLogic Server Administration Server by running the following command: 

    <middleware_home>/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem/bin/startWeblogic.cmd

  • If you want to deploy Java web applications to a single managed server, you must be using WebLogic Server and have a 64-bit operating system.

  • For database configuration tasks, ensure that the database is running.

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