WebLogic Server

This section provides instructions for installing and configuring applications in a distributed environment, including multi-server deployment, prerequisites, and integration for optimal system performance.

• Oracle provides a limited-use license of Oracle WebLogic Server for use with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System products. Typically, EPM System Installer installs WebLogic Server for you.

• However, if you have an existing WebLogic Server installation and want to use it instead of the WebLogic Server installed by EPM System Installer, 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 you are using Oracle Hyperion Planning on a WebLogic Server that is configured with 4 GB max heap size, Oracle recommends that you increase the max heap size to 6 GB to reach the same amount of user scalability.

Note:

In distributed EPM deployments where Foundation is installed on one machine (hostname1) and other components (Planning/CalcManager, and so on) are installed on a different machine (hostname2), the generated startManagedWebLogic.sh script may contain an incorrect WebLogic Server URL that points to hostname2 instead of the Foundation (AdminServer) host (hostname1).

Workaround: Edit <EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE>/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh and update ADMIN_URL to use the correct AdminServer host/port (for example, change http://<hostname2>:7001 to http://<hostname1>:7001)
