Shared File System

If you are configuring for high availability, you must set up a shared file system using UNC syntax that is accessible from all the servers in the deployment for Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Lifecycle Management artifacts.

Optionally, you can also use the shared file system for the following:

  • Installation files downloaded from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud

  • Oracle HTTP Server configuration files to simplify configuration in a distributed environment

  • Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition application data

Note:

If you are configuring a Essbase Failover environment in Windows, ensure that the common shared Essbase application directory is mounted on the same drive (for example, Z:) on the nodes and use it as the application directory in the EPM configuration tool.

UNC Shared directory path is not supported as Essbase application directory in Windows.
