EPM Configuration in a distributed environment

Hi
I m installed Hyperion Essbase server only on AIX 6.1 sever and Planning, Reports, EAS, Essbase Studio and Essbase clients on windows server.
Shared Services Registry, web logic server and oracle HTTP server all are exist on windows server.
Means Hyperion Essbase server exists on AIX (UNIX).
When I am installing Essbase on UNIX then foundation services are primary requirements for Essbase installation so foundation services also on UNIX box.
I did the configuration on windows server including Foundation services, web logic server, Oracle HTTP server (OHS), and Reporting & Analysis framework, planning.
Now I want to start the configuration on UNIX box.
My question: Which components are mandatory for configuration in this scenario?
Thanks
Dharm

Hi John,
thanks for your response. Yes, the Process Manager does not start. I had a look at the Event Viewer. And it shows error and the error properties description is something like this-
Service cannot be started. Hyperion.DimensionServer.ProcessManager.Interface.ProcessManagerException: Cannot initialize the Session Manager. ---> System.Exception: System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.

Hyperion EPM Installation in a distributed environment...

Hi all,
I am planning to install Hyperion products in a distributed environment. I have three machines say, Machine A, Machine B, Machine C. All of the machines have Windows 2003 operating system. And only Machine B and Machine C have Application Server installed. Now I give a brief structure as what machine holds which products-
Machine A:-
Oracle 11g
Essbase Server
Machine B:-
Foundation Services- Shared Services
Essbase Studio
Essbase Integration Services
Smart Search
Administration Services
Provider Services
Habnet
Essbase Client
Machine C:-
EPMA
Planning
Workspace
I create a separate database for each component, say, to configure Essbase I have Hyess database, to configure Planning I have Hyplan database.
And I configure Shared Services to the same database, say, Hyshs from each machine. In that case I just follow the previously congigured database.
Machine B and Machine C components are deployed to their respective Application Server.
Can anyone please tell me if this is proper or not? Any kind of modification or recommendation would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hyperion 11.1.1.3 Installation and Configuration on a Distributed Environ:

Hi All,
We have Only Hyperion Production Servers on a Distributed Environment. Now, we are thinking to create new instance that will be called Development Environment and that must be replica or mirror of Prod Environment. For that we cloned Production Servers.
Since we have all four servers Cloned for Development Environment now I need to Configure those all four instances.....I never worked with installations and configurations ...I do have knowledge and little experience with single tier or one system installation and configuration but distributed environment....I need your support and guideline to configure these boxes...
Our Distributed Environment lay out is as follows:-
We have installed Hyperion on Windows Server 2003 and Database is SQL Server
(1) We have Four Servers
(a) SQL, which Contains these services EPMA, and IIS Admin Service, World Wide Publishing Services, Hyperion Calc Manager-Web Application,
Hyperion EPMA (.Net JNI Bridge, Engine Manager, Event Manager, Job Manager, Process Manager, Web Application, and Data Syn-WebApplication)
(b) Essbase Server Contains these services Hyp ERP Integrator-Web Application, Hyp Essbase Services, Hyp financial Data Quality Management-
Task Manager
(c) Planning Server contains these Services Hyp Financial Reporting-Web Application, Hyperion Planning-Web Application, Hyp RMI Registry,
Hyp Web Analysis-Web Application
(d) Workspace Server Contains these services Hyp Finacial Reporting (Java RMI Registy, Print Server, Report Server, Scheduler Server), Hyp Foundatio
OpenLDAP, Hyp foundation shared services-web application, Hyp Provider Services - web application, Hyp Workspace (agent service and web application)
(2) Now my question is which server needs to be configured 1st then next and next and what things or steps i need to follow for configuration that works fine?
I know I can run EPMA configure tool for each system from Stat>All program>Oracle EPMA>EPMA Configuration> and then select tool to run.....But I am bit confused that which one go 1st and then next.
Please give your few words for this so that I can start configure the system....
I hoping for positive feedback...
Thanks in Advance.

We have roughly 8 servers in our distributed prod environment. We are using red linux for everything but the epma and report server which you need a windows server. The way we installed was to start with the base server with Shared services and establish that one and whatever else you want on that server. From there it really didnt matter as you go through the installs it will ask you where your shared services box is located. The only problem we had was that some of our boxes are behind a WHI cage where we had to open up ports. Other then that i really didnt follow a specific sequence of installation after shared services. Hope that helps.

Configuring CWA in distributed environment

Could you please elaborate the process how CWA works in distributed environment?

Thanks Neno for your response....
To implement CWA in distributed environment, we need to add Subject Alternative Names in the Certificate.
I have already gone through the steps given in BYOD design guide, but my concern is if I would by Third party CA certificate for ISE, in that case how would I able to achieve the same.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Borderless_Networks/Unified_Access/byoddg.html
Would I need to ask Certificate vendor to add Subject Alternative Names? Will they do that?

Unique instance names in distributed environment

The 11.1.2.1 installation guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121.pdf) says, on page 122 of the .pdf:
+"When you configure in a distributed environment, provide a new, unique instance name as you configure each server. For example, if you are using the default instance name epmsystem1 on the first server, and you keep the same naming convention on subsequent servers, you would create new, unique instance names on each subsequent server, such as epmsystem2, epmsystem3, and so on."+
No reason not to follow this advice, but wondering if it's really necessary. I feel sure I've seen installations where 'epmsystem1' was used on e.g. both a web application server and the Essbase server. Perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly.

Yes each server requires a unique name as it is registers the server with the shared services registry against the instance name, maybe it was on a 11.1.2.0 deployment that you saw the same instance name across the distributed environment.

Instance in distributed environment for 11.1.2.1 using maintenance release

Hi Experts,
As i plan for 11.1.2.1 using maintenance (from 11.1.2).
I need clarification:
as in 11.1.2 "Oracle EPM Instance name" was similar on all servers (D:\oracle\middleware\user_project; epmsystem1)
while in 11.1.2.1 "Oracle EPM Instance" should be different (D:\oracle\middleware\user_project; epmsystem1, D:\oracle\middleware\user_project; epmsystem2, etc....)
OR EPM ORACLE Instance Directory recommended on shared drive accessible to all machine.
In my case 11.1.2 is having similar instance name on all servers.
Please suggest
Regards
Kumar

Hi John,
Thanks for the help.
As per suggested document
When you configure in a distributed environment, provide a new, unique instance name as you configure each server. For example, if you are using the default instance name epmsystem1 on the >first server, and you keep the same naming convention on subsequent servers, you would create new, unique instance names on each subsequent server, such as epmsystem2, epmsystem3, and >so on. Is it applicable in maintenance release where all instance name are similar (epmsystem1) on all servers?
Does it mean i should modify and make it (epmsystem1, epmsystem2, epmsystem3....)?
Please suggest as i am not very sure
Regards
Kumar

Provide a new, unique instance name - Distributed Environment

Hi,
I am not sure about this piece of information in installation docs
please refer

What if i use same path "d:\.......\epmsystem1" on all servers in distributed environment?

Edited by: Kumar 1 on Oct 4, 2011 6:18 AM

Thanks John,
Mostly i configured different instance name ("D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" and "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem2" etc.
but i have one client where i see similar instance on all servers in distributed environment "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" and "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" etc.
Please advice? and let me know what could be impact of these two scenario.

Managed to make run EPM 11.1.2.1 in a distributed environment?

Hi,
please see blow...
so far the installation and configuration worked well.
However, in shared services under the essbase node there are no applications available .
The same is when I try to priovision a user (for apps).
Can someone give me a hint how to take a closer look to solfe the problem.
Evething else seems to work fine. Essbase is up an running and it's accessible via the EAS console.
Thank you in advance!
Andre
Hi all,
a more general question:
Has anybody successfully managed to make run EPM 11.1.2.1 in a distributed environment?
If yes - please let me know it, just to give me a littel bit of hope.
I have tried to install and config a EPM 11.1.2.1 like this:
All Servers Win208R2.
1. Http and J2EE Server
2. Essbase Server
3. Others Server
4. RDBMS-Server (Repository)
However the the OPMN process on the essbase server does not start and thus I cannot go the next steps in my install/conifg process.
Thank you in advance and best Regards.

Hi Pablo,
Thanks for your inputs
- I am a bit familiar with F5's BIG/IP load-balancing methods - round-robin, least connections mode and dynamic ratio - while intelligently supporting session persistence.
- We can also manage load balancing via the WebLogic Admin console, and as you have noted by the OHS as well - which I am not familiar with...
This is a newbie question - wouldn't having 3 different agents managing load-balancing complicate things..? As the WebLogic server sits on top of the OHS, I guess they work together to provide load-balancing and configuring the WebLogic for clustering/load-balancing should affect the OHS configuration as well. Is this how it works at the high-level or is it more complicated?
The EPM System Configurator creates the required cluster and adds servers to the cluster when we deploy the Web applications in the final step of the configuration. So we need not manually configure WebLogic for clustering. But when and where does one configure load-balancing..?
Thanks again.. Essbase infrastructure is indeed a vast topic as it is interesting... :)

The documentation contains lots of useful information I really think you should study it before even attempting, also take note of the information provided in - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121/ch03s03.html
For ODI the RCU utility creates the master and work repository, the documentation takes you through the steps or just search on the web as there are a number of installation guides if you trust them.

Advantages of installing IOP & EPM in distributed environment

Hi,
What are advantages of installing IOP in distributed environment. I refered IOP installation guide and as per instructions, on 1 machine have IOP installation with Foundation service installed while on another machine install Foundation with HSS & other components configured. This is fine but again we need to copy IOP installation directory from IOP machine to EPM machine,in such case what is the advantage of having IOP on different machine.
Also when we update any settings in properties file like site.properties we need to copy this file to IOP installer on EPM machine which is very difficult to maintain from integrity perspective. In other way we end up having IOP installation on EPM machine.
Please let me know what are the advantages of installing IOP in distributed environment & what are the cases in which we should ask customer to go ahead with Distributed installation.

Advantages:
1.     Multiple users can be defined in the single HSS and can be shared by multiple iop instances hosted on same/different machines.
2.     All the IOP instances can run independently on their individual JVM
3.     The centralized EPM server can host services like HSS, OBIEE, Essbase etc.

How to configure boe.properties file in ACTool for SAP BO Distributed environment

I have quick questions about ISE deployment in Distributed environment, as i have purchased 2 X Cisco ise 3395 - For Data Center and 3 X Cisco ISE 3355 for remote location with 3500 Base licences and 500 Advance licences.
i have some questions on this deployment
i will install 1 3395 in Primary Datacenter and other 3395 in Our secondary Data center as Primary admin+Primary Monitoring and Secondary Admin+Secondary Monitoring
and each 3355 will get installed in Remote location as policy server, My Question is it this will be correct deployment?
or while configuring 3395 do i need to configure Policy server as well in addition to Primary admin and monitoring?
or please suggest me best deployment stratagy!
Thanks,
Sachin

Thanks for the reply,
all three sites are connected in MPLS with 100MB redundant band width
we are have 2 data center one is primary and other is secondary. and all client locations are connected with 100 Meg links where i am planning to install 3355 which will act as authentication server.
but now my question is
3395 - Primary Admin+Primary Monitoring - Primary DC
3395 - Secondary Admin+ Secondary Monitoring - Secondary DC
3355- will say for one remote location(PSN)
3355- Second remote Location(PSN)
3355- third Remote location (PSN)
thanks,
