Documentation

 

Load the “Enterprise Performance Management System Release 9.3.1 Start Here: Installation Documents and Readmes” DVD, unzip the master file, navigate to the “English” folder, unzip file “hss_93101_install_doc.zip”, and open file “hss_93101_windows_install.pdf”.  The configuration instructions are contained in chapter three.

 

 

Prerequisites

 

Shared Services makes use of a relational database to store certain types of information (you can chose between Oracle, IBM DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server).  During the configuration process you’ll be asked to identify the connection details for a schema in this database.  You’ll need the RDBMS machine, the port, the SID (Oracle only), the user name, and the password.

 

Assuming an Oracle RDBMS installed on the same machine as Hyperion, the machine will be “localhost”, the port will be “1521” by default, and the SID will be “orcl” by default.  Create a schema in this database from within SQL*Plus:

 

  create user hypuser identified by hypuser;

  grant connect, resource to hypuser;

 

substituting with your own choice of user name and password, if desired.

 

 

Configuration Process

 

Start the Hyperion configuration utility as follows: “Start => All Programs => Hyperion => Foundation Services => Configuration Utility”.

 

When the language selection screen appears, select the installation language from the drop down list, and press “OK”:

 

When the welcome screen appears, press “Next”:

 

When the configurable products screen appears, click on the keys to expand the nodes, click on the radio buttons corresponding to the top two levels of nodes, and press “Next”:

 

For the initial configuration, an application server must be configured to deploy Shared Services and a relational database must be configured to hold administrative information.  The mail server is only used for automatic task flow notifications, and can be configured at a later stage if required.

 

When the database selection screen appears, click on the radio button corresponding to the database of your choice, and press “Next”:

 

When the database configuration screen appears, select values for the name of the machine hosting the database server, its port, the SID (Oracle only), the user name of the schema created for use by Hyperion, and the corresponding password (see prerequisites), and press “Next”:

 

When the application server screen appears, click on the “Automatic” radio button against “Apache Tomcat 5”, and press “Next”:

 

If you have another one of the listed application servers available then you could, of course, use it instead (Oracle Application Server is also supported, but it requires manual configuration).  However, Apache Tomcat is supplied on the installation media and will be installed and configured automatically as part of the configuration process if selected.  Using this application server will provide you with the fastest way to get Hyperion up and running.

 

When the Apache Tomcat 5 application server screen appears, click on the “Deploy as a service” radio button, and press “Next”:

 

Deploying the application server as a service is the simplest solution (you can prevent it from starting up automatically if desired).

 

When the confirmation screen appears, press “Next”:

 

An installation in progress screen will appear.  Configuration will take a few minutes on a typical desktop machine:

 

When the installation successful screen appears, press “Next”:

 

When the product selection screen appears, click on the “No” radio button, and press “Next”:

 

When the tasks completed screen appears, press “Finish”:

 

Now you have configured Shared Services.
