2 EPM System Release 11.1.2.2 on Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html



1. Use EPM System Installer to install the following components:

l Foundation Services Web applications

l Calculation Manager Web application

l Essbase Administration Services Web application

l Provider Services Web application

l Reporting and Analysis Framework services and Web application

l Planning Web application

l Financial Reporting Web application

l Essbase Server


Note: You must install these components in a different Middleware Home from the OracleBusiness Intelligence Enterprise Edition software, if already installed on the machine.

2. Download and apply the EPM System PSE 16618029.

3. For the first instance, use EPM System Configurator to create a new domain and instance,and deploy the components you installed.

4. When configuring the second and subsequent instances on this machine:

a. Specify a unique instance folder that does not duplicate existing instances on the server.

b. Use the same Shared Services Registry database.

c. Use the same domain.

d. For each of the following Web applications, ensure that the ports are unique from otherinstances that are already configured.

l Calculation Manager Web application



l Reporting and Analysis Framework Web application

l Planning Web application

The Planning RMI port stays the same, so it does not need to change for additionalclusters.


Change the port range field settings on the Financial Reporting – Configure RMIPorts panel in EPM System Configurator.

The following port ranges should not be used: 9500 – 9999, 53396 – 53397. Theseports are used by default in Oracle BI EE deployments.

After configuration, the configuration history section of the deployment report should looksomething like this:

EPM System Release 11.1.2.2 on Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine 3

5. After configuration is complete:

a. Edit Essbase.cfg and add the line: ORACLEHARDWAREACCELERATION TRUE.

b. Return to the first instance and configure the Web server.

6. In EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin, use start.sh to start all services.

7. Run EPM System Diagnostics to confirm that everything is in working order.

8. If additional instances of Reporting and Analysis services are needed, use the configurationmanagement functionality to scale it out.

a. Log in to EPM Workspace as an administrator.

b. Select Navigate, then Administer, then Reporting and Analysis, and then Services.

c. Right-click an agent for a Reporting and Analysis Framework service, and select Copy.

d. Enter a name and port range for the new configuration, and then click OK.


Using Oracle Hyperion Profitability and CostManagement Release 11.1.2.2 on Oracle Exalytics In-Memory MachineThe following Profitability and Cost Management components are certified to run on OracleExalytics In-Memory Machine:

l Oracle Essbase Server


l Oracle Hyperion Provider Services

l Oracle Essbase Administration Server

l Oracle Hyperion Shared Services

l Oracle Hyperion EPM Workspace

l Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management

l Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting

For complete list of certified EPM System components on Exalytics, see the Certification Matrixlocated at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html.

To build a vertically clustered Profitability and Cost Management Suite solution on Exalytics:

1. Use EPM System Installer to install the following components:

l Foundation Services Web applications



l Reporting and Analysis Framework services and Web application

l Profitability and Cost Management Web application


l Essbase Server


Note: You must install these components in a different Middleware Home from the OracleBI EE software, if already installed on the machine.

2. Download and apply Profitability and Cost Management PSU 11.1.2.2.350 (patch ID14400123). Follow the patch readme instructions for detailed instructions. This patchenables Profitability and Cost Management to work without Enterprise PerformanceManagement Architect in an Exalytics environment.

Download and apply the EPM System PSE 16618029.

3. For the first instance, use EPM System Configurator to create a new domain and instance,and deploy the components you installed.




4. When configuring the second and subsequent instances on this machine:

a. Specify a unique instance folder that does not duplicate existing instances on the server.

b. Use the same Shared Services Registry database.

c. Use the same domain.

d. For each of the following Web applications, ensure that the ports are unique from otherinstances that are already configured.



l Reporting and Analysis Framework Web application

l Profitability and Cost Management Web application


Change the port range field settings on the Financial Reporting – Configure RMIPorts panel in EPM System Configurator.

The following port ranges should not be used: 9500 – 9999, 53396 – 53397. Theseports are used by default in Oracle BI EE deployments.


5. After configuration is complete:

a. Edit Essbase.cfg and add the line: ORACLEHARDWAREACCELERATION TRUE.

b. Return to the first instance and configure the Web server.

6. In EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin, use start.sh to start all services.


7. Run EPM System Diagnostics to confirm that everything is in working order.

8. If additional instances of Reporting and Analysis services are needed, use the configurationmanagement functionality to scale it out.

a. Log in to EPM Workspace as an administrator.

b. Select Navigate, then Administer, then Reporting and Analysis, and then Services.

c. Right-click an agent for a Reporting and Analysis Framework service, and select Copy.

d. Enter a name and port range for the new configuration, and then click OK.

Customizing Java Web Application SettingsWhen using EPM System Configurator to deploy Java web applications, they do not startproperly because EPM System Configurator defines too large of a heap size. Generally, EPMSystem Configurator calculates a maximum heap size of ¼ of system memory.

To customize the Java web application settings to address this issue:

1. In <EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE>/bin/deploymentScripts, locate the following scripts foreach Java web application:

setCustomParams*.sh, where * is replaced with each managed server name

2. In each setCustomParams*.sh script, update the following two JAVA_OPTIONS settings:

l Update the -Xmx setting to be: -Xmx60000m

l Update the -XXcompressedRefs:size setting to be: -XXcompressedRefs:size=64GB

3. Restart the Java web applications.

Building a full Essbase, Financial Management, andPlanning deployment on Oracle Exalytics In-MemoryMachineThe best practice is to have Financial Management and Planning share one Foundation Services.For this type of deployment, we recommend that you configure the following services onExalytics:

l Essbase
