Downloading the Installation Files

Learn how to download and extract Oracle EPM 11.2 files from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud, including using 7-Zip and avoiding spaces in directory paths.

To download the installation files:

  1. Create a directory to store the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System files.

    You can download files to a shared drive, or to each machine in your deployment. If you are installing from a network drive, map this drive. This directory is referred to as /download_location in this procedure.

    Tip:

    Oracle recommends that you download files to a shared drive.

  2. From the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (http://edelivery.oracle.com/), select the products that you licensed and add them to the cart. All required zip files are included. Select your platform, and download the files into /download_location.

    For more details, review the "Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System" media pack located in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System - Installation Documents and Readmes.zip file.

    ZIP files include EPM System Installer and installation assemblies (product plug-in installation files for EPM System Installer).

  3. Unzip the files into /download_location.

    • Use a zip file extraction program that can handle long path names, such as 7-Zip.

    • If you are prompted that any files or common components already exist, click Yes to overwrite the files.

    • Unzip to a directory with no spaces in the name.

    The assemblies are automatically unzipped into an /assemblies directory.

    If you downloaded files to a central location, ensure that you unzip the following common files. If you downloaded files to multiple machines in your deployment, on each machine in the deployment, unzip the following common files. Unzip files for each operating system in a separate folder.

    • EPM System Release 11.2.x.0.0 for platformName (Part 1)

    • EPM System Release 11.2.x.0.0 for platformName (Part 2)

    • EPM System Release 11.2.x.0.0 (Part 3)

    • EPM System Release 11.2.x.0.0 for platformName (Part 4)

    Note the following information about preparing files for a distributed environment:

    • For Clustering - Even though you need these four ZIP files on each machine in the environment, install Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services Java web applications on only one machine (unless multiple Java web applications are required for clustering).

    • On the machine on which you plan to administer the Oracle WebLogic Server, you must install all Java web applications for all applications you plan to deploy on any machine in the environment. For more information, see Installing EPM System Products in a Distributed Environment.

  4. Unzip the installation assemblies into the same directory (/download_location).
  5. The /assemblies directory should include a subdirectory for each product that you want to install on this machine. Ensure that the /assemblies directory looks as follows: 
    assemblies/
		product/
			version/
				assembly.dat

    Note:

    ProductRef.inf might be in the /assemblies directory. It can remain without causing problems.

EPM System Installer can install a product only if the installation assembly files for the product are downloaded and unzipped to the correct location.
