How do you resolve Financial Management service validation error in EPM ?

Question

Does anyone know how to resolve Financial Management service validation error from EPM Diagnostic Report?
Environment:
Quad-Core AMD Processor 2.2 GHz (Server Machine)
5 GB RAM
Server 2003 Standard 32-Bit SP2 (also tried in Enterprise)
Application Server:
WebLogic Server 9.2 Custom Installation (with Add-Ins)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
Database:
Oracle 10gR2 (Standard Installation per step-by-step guide from Oracle)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html
Hyperion EMP System 11.1.1.3:
Installer
Foundation Services (4 Files )
EMP Architect
Financial Management, Planning, Financial Reporting and Web Analysis (primarily interested in FM)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/bi/performance-management/index.html
The following are the sequences of steps carried out during the Installation and Configuration of EPM:
1)     Installed the Server along with its respective SP2 – Shutdown the machine
2)     Assigned IP and DNS addresses
3)     Installed Window components by ticking Application Server Console, Enable COM+ access, IIS and DNS
4)     Run “dcpromo” to create a Domain Controller with default values and assigned a domain name – Shutdown the machine
5)     Installed Weblogic Server 9.2 and configure it using Configuration Wizard – Selected “test environment” and ticked default “listening port” – Shutdown the machine
6)     Basic installation of Oracle Database 10gR2 using Step-by-Step guide provided by Oracle and carried out Password Management steps. After installation, I then created a user “oracle” and assigned it to ora_dba User Group with the required Local Security Policies – “log on as a batch job” and “Act as part of operating system”
7)     Logged into database and acknowledge the licensing window – Shutdown the machine
8)     Restarted the machine and checked all relevant and newly installed Database and WebLogic services are running.
9)     Started Installing EPM components by double clicking “InstallTool.cmd” and selected all relevant components at ONCE as per Installation Guide – Result: - All selected EPM components were successfully installed without errors or exceptions
10)     At the end of installation window, I carried out the configuration in the following scearios:
Scenario 1: Configuration all at Default settings
Scenario 2: Configuration all, except “Application Server” I selected the WebLogic9.2
Scenario 3: Configuration all, except “Application Server” and “Workspace Web Server” were being Welogic9.2 and IIS HTTP
RESULT: After all numerous installations, all came down to ONE ERROR from “Diagnostic Report” stating the following:
Financial Management:
FAILED SVR: HFM Service Validation Check if HFM service in working state.
Error: Error message: <03/11/2010 05:32:26 PM> CreateApplicationCAS... Failed at line: 2
Recommended Action: Make sure HAT utility is working. 1 s
I then simply ignored this error and tried to deploy an Application, all worked fine until you get to the point at “Job Console” where you need to press “Refresh” button. Progress remained at 12% until it got timedout after 300 seconds and force attempt of refreshing resulting in “aborted” job with the following error:

This is, I believe preventing me from deploying Consolidation Apps, including Sample Application provided with EPM Downloads. I have tried installing and configuring by components. All failed with the same outcome.
I have been working on this effortlessly in different combinations to get at least one Financial Management Application get deployed so I could enhance my learning adventure. As it stands, I am not sure where to get help and completely lost in the World of Oracle. I am also come to wonder whether “Free Downloads of EPM” are indeed, is “complete and is in working-state” or do I need a licence to use for personal learning experience? Are there different downloads for different needs or/users For example, eDelivery downloads are different from OTN Agreement downloads?
I have downloaded the files from following URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/bi/performance-management/index.html
I am completely lost and all services are up and running and not sure what I am missing!! Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
BT

Answer 1

I am having exactly the same problem using Windows 2003 Standard editions SP2. Is there anyone who knows a possible solution for this? The effect on HFM is that is not possible to create an application, since I always get an error that says "Server execution failed"
