Scaling Out Financial Management

To scale out Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, you install and configure one or more additional instances of Financial Management. Complete this procedure on each host machine, for example, HFMHOST2, onto which Financial Management is to be scaled out.

To scale out Financial Management:

1. Verify that you are logged on to the Financial Management scale-out machine (HFMHOST2) using the deployment user.
2. Install Financial Management using the instructions in Installing Financial Management on HFMHOST1.

   In the steps, use HFMHOST2 instead of HFMHOST1 as the host name.

3. Follow the steps in Creating Infrastructure Schemas Using Repository Creation Utility on FNDHOST1 to run the Repository Creation Utility and update RCU schema properties on PLANHOST2. Note these steps:
   • On the Select Components page, enter a unique prefix, for example HFMHOST2.
   • When modifying RCUSchema.properties in a text editor, for schemaPrefix, make sure to enter the unique prefix used on this machine, for example HFMHOST2.
4. Configure Financial Management using the steps in Configuring Financial Management on HFMHOST1.

   In the steps, use HFM2 instead of HFM1 as the instance name on this machine.

5. On the scaleout machine, start Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System: From the Start menu, select Oracle EPM System, and then Start EPM System.
