Major components of EPM System products

Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services:- Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services software provides a single, shared infrastructure to install the EPM system, manage users, security, metadata and the application lifecycle.

Oracle HTTP Server:- Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is the Web server component for Oracle Fusion Middleware. It provides a HTTP listener for Oracle WebLogic Server and the framework for hosting static pages, dynamic pages, and applications over the Web. Key aspects of Oracle HTTP Server are its technology, its serving of both static and dynamic content and its integration with both Oracle and non-Oracle products. 

Oracle WebLogic Server:- WebLogic Server is an application server: a platform for developing and deploying multitier distributed enterprise applications. WebLogic Server centralizes application services such as Web server functionality, business components, and access to backend enterprise systems. It uses technologies such as caching and connection pooling to improve resource use and application performance. WebLogic Server also provides enterprise-level security and powerful administration facilities.

Oracle Hyperion EPM Architect:- Oracle Hyperion EPM Architect is a feature of Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services and is integrated with Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Hyperion Planning, Oracle Essbase, Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management, and Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management. Performance Management Architect enables administrators to manage, create, and deploy Hyperion applications within one interface.

Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager:- You use Calculation Manager to create, validate, deploy, and administer sophisticated calculations that solve Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Hyperion Planning, and Oracle Essbase business problems. You access Calculation Manager from within Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace.

Essbase Server:- Essbase Server is a database for storing data with multiple dimensions such as time, accounts, regions, channel, or product. It manages analytical data models, data storage, calculations, and data security.

EAS (Essbase Administration Services):- This Essbase component is an administration tool for Essbase. Administration Services consists of a Java middle-tier server, called Essbase Administration Server, and a Java client console, called Administration Services Console.

Hyperion Provider Services:- This Essbase component is a dedicated data-source provider to Essbase for Java API, Smart View, and XMLA clients.

Oracle Essbase Integration Services:- Oracle Essbase Integration Services—an optional product component—provides a metadata-driven environment to bridge the gap between data stored in Essbase databases and detailed data stored in relational databases. The Hybrid Analysis feature gives business users more detail for decision-making and IT managers more modularity in designing and maintaining large-scale analytic applications. Hybrid Analysis allows portions of Essbase databases to be stored in a relational database. This relational-stored data is mapped to the appropriate Essbase hierarchies.

Workspace:- When deployed with Oracle Business Intelligence, this EPM component provides a user interface for viewing and interacting with content created using Oracle Business Intelligence, Financial Reporting and Calculation Manager.

Oracle Essbase Studio:- Essbase Studio simplifies cube construction by delivering a single environment for performing tasks related to data modeling, cube designing, and analytic application construction. With a wizard-driven user interface, Essbase Studio supports modeling of the various data source types from which Essbase applications are typically built.

Analytic Services:- Analytic Services a multi-threaded OLAP database software that takes advantage of symmetric multi processing hardware platforms is based upon Web-deployable, thin-client architecture. The server acts as a shared resource, handling all data storage, caching, calculations, and data security. The Analytic Server client needs only to retrieve and view data that resides on a server.

Oracle Hyperion SQR Production Reporting:- It is a specialized programming language for accessing, manipulating, and reporting enterprise data. Using the SQR Production Reporting language, you can build complex procedures that execute multiple calls to multiple data sources and implement nested, hierarchical, or object-oriented program logic.
