Back to Topic ListOverview

Financial Management software is a comprehensive, Web-based Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) application. It delivers global collection, financial consolidation, reporting, and analysis in a single, highly scalable software solution. In this tutorial, you learn how to perform a silent installation and configuration of Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services and Financial Management. You also learn how to use Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect, Fusion Edition, Batch Client to create and deploy a Financial Management application from a script.

Back to Topic ListSoftware and Hardware Requirements

The following is a list of software requirements:

The software to install Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installer, Fusion Edition, Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services, and Financial Management must be downloaded and unzipped from Oracle's e-Delivery Web site.

A relational database for Oracle Hyperion products must be created.

Back to Topic ListPrerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, you should:

1. Have downloaded and unzipped the installation packages for EPM System Installer, Foundation

Services, and Financial Management.

2. Have created a database schema for Hyperion Shared Services and Enterprise Performance

Management System products, and assigned appropriate roles or rights for the users or resources.

You must use the same database schema for Shared Services and all EPM System products in a

silent configuration.

Back to Topic ListPerforming a Silent Installation

To enable silent installation, record your installation settings in a response file. You can then run a silent installation from the command line, and use the installation options that you saved in the response file.

1. At a command prompt, navigate to the directory that contains EPM System Installer. The EPM System Installer executable is installTool.cmd.

2. Enter installtool.cmd -record filename, where filename is the name of the response file that you want to create.

EPM System Installer is displayed.

3. Select English, and click OK.

4. On the Welcome panel, verify that the system prerequisites were met, and click Next.

5. On the Destination panel, enter the name of your Hyperion home directory, and click Next.

6. On the Installation Type panel, under New Installation, select Choose components individually, and clickNext.

7. On the Product Selection panel, select the products that you want to install, and click Next.In this example, you install Foundation Services and Financial Management.

8. On the Summary panel, verify the products that you want to install, and click Save to record the response file without installing the products on this machine.

9. Enter a name for the response file, and click Save.

The response file is recorded.

10. To view the response file, navigate to the location of the saved installation response file, and open it in a text editor.

11. To install, perform the following steps:

a. Navigate to the directory that contains EPM System Installer .b. Enter installtool.cmd -silent filename, where filename is the name of the response file that you recorded.

The system installs the components that you recorded in the response file, and is returned to a command prompt when the installation is completed.

12. Verify that the installation was completed successfully.

Back to Topic ListPerforming a Silent Configuration

Silent configurations automate the configuration process so that you can configure EPM System products on multiple machines without manually specifying configuration settings on each machine.

To enable silent configurations, record your configuration settings in a response file. You can then run a silent configuration from the command line, and use the configuration options that you saved in the response file.

1. At a command prompt, navigate to the directory that contains EPM System Configurator. By default, the directory is HYPERION_HOME/common/config/9.5.0.0.

2. Enter configtool.bat -record filename, where filename is the name of the response file that you want to create.

EPM System Configurator is displayed.

11. On the Financial Management DCOM configuration panel, specify the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) account information to configure DCOM security, and click Next.You must specify the Windows administrator under whose identity the application server processes are launched. All Financial Management application server processes are run under the specified Windows administrator, so no other administrator is required to log on to the application server to start the application server processes.

12. On the Financial Management application server configuration panel, specify the application server information or accept the default values, and click Next.

13. On the Financial Management application server cluster panel, specify the application cluster and the names of the servers that participate in the cluster, and click Next.An application server cluster is a set of application servers that run the same application. Clustered application servers provide load balancing and failover capability and enable the servers to be transparently maintained while applications remain available for users.

14. On the Financial Management application server cluster registration panel, perform the following actions:

a. Select the names of the application servers and clusters that you want to register.b. Click Add to move the servers and clusters to the Registered Servers/Clusters list.c. Click Next.
