Applying an Update Prerequisite Tasks

Before applying the update to move to Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Release 11.2.8:

  1. Stop services:
    • EPM System services
    • Node Manager Windows Service and Oracle HTTP Server, if you are using Oracle HTTP Server as your web server
    • WebLogic Administration Server

    For information about stopping services, see Starting and Stopping EPM System Products.

  2. Back up these folders:
    • EPM Oracle Home. The default EPM Oracle home location is MIDDLEWARE_HOME/EPMSystem11R1.
    • EPM Oracle Instance. The default location for the EPM Oracle Instance is MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1.

    You can delete these folders after you apply the update and validate the installation.

  3. If you are using Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition, before applying the update to Release 11.2.6, you must grant permissions on the SYSTEM.schema_version_registry table as sys user using the following command: 

    grant all on SYSTEM.schema_version_registry to <FDMEE_SCHEMA_USER>;
  4. If you are using a distributed environment which has only Hyperion Financial Management and Essbase servers installed and configured with no web applications deployed, you must create a domains folder under Oracle/Middleware_Home/user_projects. For example, Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem where <EPMSystem> is the domain name.
