Installation and Configuration of Hyperion 11.1.1.3

Some of the new features of Oracle’s Hyperion System 11 product suite is the EPM
System Installer and EPM System Configurator.
Aim: - To provide a streamlined and simplified approach to product installation,

upgrade, and configuration. So let’s start with the Installation.
Installation of Hyperion 11.1.1.3
Checks before staring installation

There are few things that need attention while installing Hyperion 11 version.
1. On each machine in the deployment, unzip the following common files to a

install location (e.g. G:\hyp_installer)
• EPM-SystemInstaller-11110.zip
• EPM-FoundationServices-11110-Part1.zip
2. Unzip the product installer files to the same location.

3. Ensure that there are no extraneous files in the /assemblies directory and its
subdirectories.
The /assemblies directory should include only a subdirectory for each product that
you want to install on this machine. The /assemblies directory should look as
follows:
assemblies/
product/
version/
assembly.dat
21 | P a g e
1. Click on the InstallTool.cmd in the install location. This will launch EPM
System Installer. Click on Next to proceed with the installation.
2. Enter the location for Hyperion Home. This will create the folder Hyperion in
the specified drive/location.
If a Hyperion Home is already there then this option will be grayed out. If you wish
you change that Hyperion Home delete the Environment variable
HYPERION_HOME and restart the installation.
22 | P a g e
3. There are two options available for selecting the components.

a. Choose components by tier (see pic 1)
b. Choose components individually (see pic 1)
4. Click Next after Selection to continue.

Evaluating SERVER_NAME in Start Script
As managed servers are added to the domain, conditional statements are added to
the script that control the flow of execution based on SERVER_NAME, which is
set by the Node Manager. For example, the following script defines a variable FOO
for the managed server Server0. FOO will not be set for other managed servers.
E.g.
:SharedServices
set FOO=BAR
goto STARTWLS

Apache Web Server configuration

Hyperion Software by default is shipped with Apache Web Server.
Check apache version
Open up a command prompt and navigate to the apache installed directory and type
apache –v.
G:\Hyperion\common\httpServers\Apache\2.0.59\bin>apache -v
Server version: Apache/2.0.61
Server built: Jul 28 2008 15:37:06
Creating httpd.conf file.
The main step in Apache Web server configuration is the creation of httpd.conf file.
This the main configuration file for Apache.
1. We need to enable the Weblogic module in Apache which is done by adding

the below given entry in httpd.conf file.
LoadModule weblogic_module
E:/bea/weblogic92/server/plugin/win/32/mod_wl_20.so, where E:\bea is the
BEA_HOME
2. After enabling the plug-in we need to add following directive to the conf file
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
Include conf/Hyp-WebLogic.conf
WLForwardUriUnparsed ON
DebugConfigInfo ON
KeepAliveEnabled ON
KeepAliveSecs 20
</IfModule>
3. Create Hyp-WebLogic.conf file in the conf directory of Apache.
G:\Hyperion\common\httpServers\Apache\2.0.59\conf
119 | P a g e
Sample httpd configuration file
Sample configuration is given as attachment (httpd.txt).
Create Hyp-Weblogic.conf
Sample configuration is given as attachment (HYP-Weblogic.txt).
This file is responsible for routing the entire request coming from web browsers.
When you type http://servername/interop this file knows that it forwards the request
to Weblogic and gives us what is there in http://servername:28080/interop
Check httpd.conf syntax
Type apache –t
G:\Hyperion\common\httpServers\Apache\2.0.59\bin>apache -t
Syntax OK
Install Apache as a service.
Type apache –k install -n "service name" -f "path to httpd.conf"
apache -k install -n "Hyperion S11 Apache 2.0" -f

"G:\Hyperion\common\httpServers\Apache\2.0.59\conf\httpd.conf"
To uninstall the service use apache -k uninstall -n "service name" -f "path to

httpd.conf"
apache -k uninstall -n "Hyperion S11 Apache 2.0" -f

"G:\Hyperion\common\httpServers\Apache\2.0.59\conf\httpd.conf"
To test the setting start Apache service and launch Shared

Services/Workspace/Planning without the port number.
