Access the Oracle Hyperion Amazon Cloud Image
The very first thing that you need to do is to visit the Amazon Payment page and purchase the Oracle Hyperion 11.1.2 ami. An AMI is the acronym used for Amazon Machine Image. An Amazon Machine Image is a special type of pre-‐configured operating system and virtual application software which is used to create a virtual machine within the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). It serves as the basic unit of deployment for the Oracle Hyperion Essbase & Planning 11.1.2 that we have made available to you.
1. Click here to go directly to our easy to use Full360 Amazon Payment page. You will be prompted for your Amazon Web Services user name and password.
2. Next you will see the following page with the details for the Oracle EPM Server in the Amazon Cloud version 11.1.2. Click “Submit Query”. This will submit your request to Amazon for immediate payment.
3. Upon payment confirmation you will see a screen similar to the one below. In order to spin up your newly purchased Amazon Machine Image (ami) please email your Amazon Account Number [email protected]. Please don’t confuse your account number for the activation key. You can access your Amazon Account number on the Amazon Web Services welcome page under your name on the top right corner. It follows the following numeric format “1234-‐5678-‐9012” Our automated process will then provision your account number to be able to start your Oracle Hyperion Essbase & Planning 11.1.2 Server. You will receive an automated response from Full360 confirming your accessibility and introducing you to one of our team members.
Log in to Amazon Web Services Console Once you have received your confirmation email from Full360 then you are clear to proceed with the following steps. The AWS Management Console provides a point-‐and-‐click web interface for Amazon Web Services. Log in using your AWS account name and password. This is the interface that you will use to access, launch, stop and terminate your Amazon Machine Image. In this section we will:
1. Login in to Amazon Web Services 2. Search for the Oracle Hyperion Essbase & Planning 11.1.2 Amazon Machine
Image (ami) 3. Launch your Instance 4. Configure your Server 5. Select your key pairs 6. Configure your firewall for Microsoft Remote Desktop 7. Launch Instance
