Essbase 11.1.1 Installation Tutorial In a recent blog post, I expressed my dedication to installing Essbase 11.1.1 and, I figured that while I was installing it, I should document the steps to help others visualize how to do it. Some people who may be reading this may have never installed Essbase, so I will go into a lot of detail. Those of you who have installed Essbase a number of times may not need all of this detail and so you may want to skim through parts of this document. That being said, this is the first version shipped with the new Oracle Installer and is just different enough that a tutorial may be necessary. Before you can start the install, you will need to download the files necessary for the install. To get the files, go to http://edelivery.oracle.com/ and select the ‘Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System’. To create this tutorial, I downloaded and am installing the 32-bit version on my own primary laptop. Once you have the necessary files downloaded, start by creating a temporary work directory. On my system, I created a directory named C:\Temp\EPM 11.1.1 Install. Once you have done that, unzip the System Installer (V13452-01.zip) into the work directory. Here is what it looked like when I unzipped the file on my machine:

Additionally, files are being added to the ‘assemblies’ subdirectory. The ‘assemblies’ subdirectories contain the actual installation components.

Next, locate and run the InstallTool.cmd file that is unzipped as part of the installer. If you haven’t unzipped any product zip files into the installation directories, you will get a pretty nasty looking error when you run the InstallTool.cmd. The error is a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException which sounds a lot worse than it really is. This error appears because the Java runtime expects to find some installation code to execute and, as the code doesn’t exist in the installer directories, it throws a java exception. I have seen a number of people get that exception already with 11.1.1 and am a bit surprised that the installer does not do a better job of giving a more informative error message. If you have properly unzipped files into the directories, you will get see the following Installer screen. Note the steps oriented along the left margin of the dialog that will help you keep track of your progress.

Choose the location where you would like to install the Hyperion components. On my machine it defaulted to C:\Hyperion. I don’t know if this default applies to a clean machine or not as I previously had Essbase installed in that directory. I did, however, attempt to clean up HYPERION_HOME and other environment variables for Essbase before starting the install. You may have different results.

Click ‘Next’ to begin the installations. The progress is then reported in the dialog and took something like 10 to 20 minutes on my laptop. After the installations are complete, the ‘Summary’ step shows the status of the installed products:
At this point, I pressed the ‘Configure’ button and the EPM System Configurator was launched. Although I didn’t try it, I would guess the ‘Finish’ button would just close the Installer. Note that after installation the ‘EPM System Configurator’ is available on the Windows Start Menu under All Programs, Oracle EPM System, Foundation Services, EPM System Configurator. The Configurator opens and displays a welcome screen:

Press the ‘Next’ button to choose the components to configure:
Once you select ‘Next’, the items selected will determine the information that will be prompted in the following screens. With the default selections for the products I installed, the next screen requested information for the database underlying Shared Services. I am running Oracle 11g on my laptop and thus the configuration looks like this:

As I am using the previously configured database, I didn’t have to change anything on this screen. Hit the ‘Next’ button to go to the next screen which prompts you to select the application server as shown below:
Unfortunately, it doesn’t actually say what component is to be deployed to an application server; hopefully it applies to all of the applications that use an application server. The default is to automatically deploy to the ‘Embedded Java Container’. Upon further investigation, it appears the ‘Embedded Java Container’ is Tomcat 5.5.17 which is a newer version of Tomcat than the version 5.0.28 that shipped with Essbase 9.3.1. Now that I played the guessing game about what applications are being configured, I hit the ‘Next’ button and was presented with the following dialog that allows the user to specify the port that each individual application will run on:
http://timtows-hyperion-blog.blogspot.in/2008/09/essbase-1111-installation-tutorial.html[8/7/2013 3:52:25 PM]
Tim Tow's Hyperion Blog: Essbase 11.1.1 Installation Tutorial
There are a couple of things to note in this dialog. The default Shared Services port for Tomcat has changed from 11.1.1 to 28080. In version 9.3.1, the default port was 58080. Further, the default port for the HAB.Net web service also changed (at least it changed from the time when I actually wrote the service). I typically take the default ports for my services. Hit the ‘Next’ button to advance to the next step in the Configurator which prompts for Essbase configuration information:
There are a couple of noteworthy default values on this step of the wizard. First, the ARBORPATH specified looks like a very nonstandard location if you are an experienced Essbase person. First, the ‘products’ subdirectory is a very ‘Oracle’ naming convention. In fact, on my laptop Oracle 11g is installed in C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0. Second, I find it odd that the ARBORPATH variable checkbox is not checked by default. The installation documentation is pretty clear on this issue. If you are upgrading, the following upgrade note is in the docs:
http://timtows-hyperion-blog.blogspot.in/2008/09/essbase-1111-installation-tutorial.html[8/7/2013 3:52:25 PM]
Tim Tow's Hyperion Blog: Essbase 11.1.1 Installation Tutorial
If you are upgrading from a previous release of Essbase, specify the same application location you used in the previous release. The docs also comment on the ‘Set ARBORPATH checkbox’ in saying: If you do not update the environment variables during configuration, update them manually. Based on that comment, I am going to check the checkbox before I continue. Further, I didn’t know exactly what the ‘Deploy Essbase in standalone mode’ did. The install documentation for this this setting states ‘select to use legacy security for Essbase Server instead of Shared Services security’. I am also going to select this option as I don’t want to have my Essbase security automatically externalized to Shared Services. My reason for not externalizing is that if security is not externalized, then you can run Essbase without having Shared Services running. Despite the fact that my laptop is pretty powerful (Core2 Duo w/4 Gb RAM), I sometimes shut down Shared Services and Oracle to maximize memory; Essbase will run fine without Shared Services running in using this configuration. This is how the dialog looked when I hit the ‘Next’ button:
Finally, the information gathering is complete and you have one final chance to confirm everything before the configuration starts:

Tim Tow's Hyperion Blog: Essbase 11.1.1 Installation Tutorial
Hit ‘Next’ and let it rip! Once it is complete, here is what the dialog should look like:
The ‘Register with Shared Services’ task failed as I chose to install Essbase in standalone mode. Now that installation is complete, here are the services that are running:

Note that OpenLDAP, Shared Services, HABNet and Provider Services all started up but Essbase did not nor will it start if when I try to start the service. The procedure you should follow if this occurs is to try to run Essbase in a command window where any errors will be displayed in the window. Navigating to start Essbase manually was really my first chance to explore the new directory structure. In the System 9 version, the different parts of the system were installed in the HYPERION_HOME location which was typically C:\Hyperion on a windows system. In version 11.1.1, all of the products are rooted in the new ‘products’ subdirectory with the Essbase subsystem products in ‘products\Essbase’ and Shared Services in ‘products\Foundation’. Here is what my ‘products\Essbase’ directory looks like:
To start Essbase in a command window, you have to navigate to the ‘products\Essbase\Essbase Server\bin’ subdirectory, type ‘essbase’ and press Enter. Here is the result:

Tim Tow's Hyperion Blog: Essbase 11.1.1 Installation Tutorial
It now occurs to me that I was not prompted to enter this basic Essbase information during the install probably due to the fact that security externalization is now the default behavior. The person who installs Essbase and choose ‘standalone’ mode is apparently now responsible to start Essbase in the command window and enter the basic Essbase security information. Actually, this was standard operating procedure back in the early days of Essbase. Here is a screenshot after I started Essbase and entered the information:
Once I entered these items when I started Essbase in the command window the first time, the service started and ran normally. After following these steps, I was up and running with Essbase and the other products I had selected. Within a few days, I plan to post a PDF file with this content to make it easier for you to print this content. Finally, I hope your installation experience is a smooth as mine was.

So I went to edelivery downloaded packages but they were different than your description. They contained a setup.exe and a setup.jar. They did not need a system installer. I have been to the download site of Oracle as well and there the files are as you described. However there are always packages missing as shown by the installer. My question is what is correct and why all that confusion? December 3, 2008 at 11:42 AM Anonymous said...

Here is a link that discusses that issue: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa? threadID=929464&tstart=-1 While I was looking into this issue, I ran across another blog that has excellent instructions on installing Essbase 11x. One of the nice things about that blog post is that it shows how to create the Oracle permissions necessary for the install: http://gerardnico.com/wiki/epm/epm_installation Good job Nico! Tim November 21, 2009 at 10:10 AM Techie said... Hi Tim, Do we require Windows servers for installtion Essbase Cube Reporting? or can this be installed on Linux itself? Thanks in advance. Saravanakumar December 15, 2009 at 8:00 AM Tim Tow said... You can certainly install on Linux.. My friend Rohit Amarnath has published a blog post with instructions.

Extracted all the files at one place as you mentioned. While running the system installer, not all the system requirements met. It says, min 1000MB memory required and I do not have sufficient memory. Host name and Operating system requirements are met though. I have 5 GB space in my C: drive. Please help regarding this issue. December 31, 2009 at 12:55 PM Tim Tow said... Perhaps the Oracle installer, which is Java-based, needs 1000 Mb of free memory to run. The Java JVM can be configured to obtain a minimum amount of memory at startup and, if that amount of memory is not available, then the JVM startup with fail. Tim December 31, 2009 at 1:03 PM Anonymous said... Thanx for quick response. You are right, the physical memory is set to 766 MB. Can you help me change the JVM? I have no clue how to do it!!

This is the most useful post I have found on the web for installing and configuring Hyperion, Great job Tim! July 19, 2011 at 10:27 PM hemakiran said... Tim, nice to view blog,it is very good for beginners. let you know what exactly i am facing problem while installing hyperion produt. while installing i am unable to select the essbase component which it is disabled, while i am checking out it shows that some of the assemblies missing can please let me know how to solve. thanks kiran. August 11, 2011 at 9:56 AM Tim Tow said... If assemblies are missing, then it seems like you either need to download them from the Oracle site and/or unzip the zip files into the proper location. As far as I know, that would be the only reason that Essbase is not available for install. Tim August 11, 2011 at 10:01 AM
