Resolving Host Names

This section outlines how to ensure correct host name resolution by configuring JAVA_HOME and using Java with the epmsys_hostname utility. It also explains how to validate network identities using local host files to prevent errors.

The canonical host name of each server must be the same when accessed from within the server and from other servers in the deployment. You may want to create a local hosts file on each server to resolve host name issues.

Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System uses Java’s canonical host name resolution for resolving host names. To validate host names as resolved by Java, EPM System provides a utility (epmsys_hostname.bat|sh). An archive of the utility (epmsys_hostname.zip) is available in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/11.1.2.0. Run the utility after installation and before configuration.
