HFM 11.1.2.1 Database Configuration issue - EPMCFG-10398

Question

Hi All,
I was configuring EPM 11.1.2.1 on Windows 2003 32 bit instance with Oracle 11.2.0.1+ as DB
Products covered were :
1. Foundation Services
2. FDM
3. Reperting and Analysis
4. Financial Reporting
5. Web Analysis
6. HFM
7. Disclosure Management
I have created separate SID's and grouped them as
Foundation Services + Workspace = hypss
FDM + DM + Calc Mger = hypepm
RA + FR + DM = hyprna
HFM = hyphfm
I also configured them in above order only. However when I was configuring HFM I was given warning as - *"EPMCFG-10398: For successful completion of this task, the Oracle Database tnsnames.ora file must exist"*
Subsequently my following HFM configurations were failed
1. Configure Database
2. Register Application Servers/Clusters
My tnsnames.ora file is as follows
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
HYPSS =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = payous12)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = hypss)
HYPHFM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = payous12)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = hyphfm)
HYPRNA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = payous12)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = hyprna)
HYPEPM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = payous12)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = hypepm)
ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = CLRExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
I changed the entry localhost to payous12 (my machin name) in tnsnames.ora. That was the only change I carried out in that file
Further I have not yet installed ethernet drivers on my machine and there is no IP address as well
All other configurations were successful. Can anyone guide for successful configuration of HFM
Thanks

Hi Bharat,
To resolve this issue you need to go to
Drive where ODAC is installed \app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\client_1\Network\Admin\Sample
Then Copy the tnsnames.ora file from Sample folder to following location
Drive where ODAC is installed \app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\client_1\Network\Admin
Make necessary changes to that file with respect to your HFM database
Sample tnsnames.ora will look like as follows
HYPHFM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = payous12)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = hyphfm)
