Installing Essbase Server on ESSHOST1

To install Oracle Essbase on ESSHOST1:

  1. Log on to the Essbase host machine (ESSHOST1) as the deployment user, and define a network drive (for example, Z:/) that maps to the shared disk directory into which you extracted Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System software (for example, //sharedhost/sharedlocation/downloads/epm_unzipped).
  2. Create a local directory (not on the shared drive) to be used as the Essbase location for data (ARBORPATH). This location should be outside of the MIDDLEWARE_HOME location, for example: <Local Drive>:/epm_data.
  3. From the mapped network drive, launch installTool.cmd.
  4. In EPM System Installer, select a language, and then click OK.
