Windows Instructions

By default, EPM Automate is installed in the Program Files\Oracle\EPM Automate folder. Because Program Files is a protected folder where only the users belonging to the Administrators Windows group have full control, you must be a member of the Administrators Windows group to install EPM Automate..

By default, EPM Automate stores log files, files downloaded using commands, user preferences, encrypted password files, and other runtime files in ProgramData\Oracle\EPM Automate folder.

Note:

If EPM Automate is currently installed in a custom location, you can upgrade it using the upgrade command. However, the upgraded EPM Automate will look for required files (for example, user preferences, encrypted password file, and other runtime files) in ProgramData\Oracle\EPM Automate if you do not specify a fully-qualified file path in the command.

To install EPM Automate:

1. Using a browser, access an environment from the Windows computer where you want to install EPM Automate.
2. On the Home page, access Setting and Actions by clicking your user name.
3. Click Downloads.
4. In the Downloads page, click Download for Windows in the EPM Automate section.
5. Save the installer to your computer.
6. Right-click the installer (EPM Automate.exe), and select Run as administrator.
7. In User Account Control, click Yes.
8. Follow on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
9. Optional: Set the default directory for EPM Automate session files by creating an environment variable named EPMAUTOMATE_BASE_DIR. The Windows user running EPM Automate must have read and write access to this directory. For more information, see Default File Location.
   If the specified directory does not already exist, EPM Automate automatically creates and normalizes the directory path.
