APPLIES TO:

GOAL

How to reconfigure your Shared Services or EPM products database using the configuration tool.

NOTE: This article assumes you want to recreate a new database repository

FIX

NOTE: It is NOT recommended to perform this procedure as any user other than the installing user. Ifyou are not able to perform this procedure as the installing user and must use a different user thenensure that the new user has full control to all files and folders of the EPM_ORACLE_HOME location aswell as the Oracle Inventory Location under C:\Program Files\Oracle. You will also need to copy the.oracle.instance file from the installing users Profile directory to the new users profile directory.

For versions 11.1.1.x:

1. Stop Shared Services and other EPM products.2. Change directory to $HYPERION_HOME/common/config/9.5.0.0 directory.3. Rename or move the reg.properties file to save it as a backup copy.4. While still under the config/9.5.0.0 directory change directory to products/foundation/9.5.0.0 (to change databasesettings for Shared Services.

For other products, change directory to products/{products_name}/9.5.0.0)

5. For Shared Services edit the foundation_1_config.xml file.6. Within the file find the text "relationalStorageConfiguration.7. Change the value "Configured" to "Pending" or "Unconfigured". Either is acceptable.8. Save the xml file.

C:\Hyperion\common\config\9.5.0.0\product\foundation\9.5.0.0You will see the following tag in "foundation_1_config.xml" file

<property name="relationalStorageConfiguration">Configured</property>

<----change to------>

<property name="relationalStorageConfiguration">Pending</property>

9. Run the configtool from $HYPERION_HOME\common\config\9.5.0.0 directory and do the database configurationtask(s) again. Run the database configuration task for Shared Services first then each additional product if applicable.

For versions 11.1.2.x:

You cannot change a configured Shared Services database directly in EPM System Configurator without removing thefile that contains the previously configured database information:

1. Navigate to EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/foundation/11.1.2.0.2. Backup/copy the reg.properties file.3. Delete the reg.properties file.4. Restart EPM System Configurator.5. Select "Create New EPM Instance and provide the same path to the existing EPM instance"

Note: The EPM Instance path is the location of the epmsystem[n] directory where the [n] represents anumber.

Windows Example:EPM Instance path C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1

Unix Example:$HOME is the logged in users home directory variable which contains the logged in users home location

EPM Instance path $HOME/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1

6. 7. Reconfigure the Shared Services database by selecting "Connect to a previously configured database."
