Documentation

 

Load the “Enterprise Performance Management System Release 9.3.1 Start Here: Installation Documents and Readmes” CD, unzip the master file, navigate to the “English” folder, unzip file “eas_93100_install_doc.zip”, and open file “eas_windows_install.pdf”.  The configuration instructions are contained in chapter two.

 

 

Configuration Process

 

Start the Hyperion configuration utility as follows: “Start => All Programs => Hyperion => Foundation Services => Configuration Utility”.

 

When the Language Selection Screen appears, select the installation language from the drop down list, and press “OK”:

When the Welcome Screen appears, press “Next”:

When the Configurable Products Screen appears, click on the key to expand the Essbase Administration Services node, make sure the corresponding radio button is ticked, and press “Next”:

   Configurable Products Screen

 

When the Shared Services Screen appears, enter the following values: Server: “localhost”; Port: “58080”; User: “admin”; Password: “<password>”; and press “Next”.

When the Database Selection Screen appears, click on the radio button corresponding to the database of your choice, and press “Next”:

When the Database Configuration Screen appears, select values for the name of the machine hosting the database server, its port, the SID (Oracle only), the user name of the schema created for use by Hyperion, and the corresponding password, and press “Next”:

When the Application Server Screen appears, click on the “Automatic” radio button against “Apache Tomcat 5”, and press “Next”:

When the Apache Tomcat 5 Application Server Screen appears, click on the “Deploy as a service” radio button, and press “Next”:

Deploying the application server as a service is the simplest solution (you can prevent it from starting up automatically if desired).

 

When the Confirmation Screen appears, review the options, and, in the absence of error, press “Next”:

      *
   Confirmation Screen

 

An installation in progress screen will appear.  Configuration will take a few minutes on a typical desktop machine.

      *
   Tasks Completed Screen

 

Now you have configured the Administration Services.

 

 

Where you’ve got to

 

If you open up the MS Windows Services screen, “Start => Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Services”, you should find that the following additional service has been added, with a startup type of “Automatic”:

 

*  Hyperion S9 Administration Services ATS5

 

If you look under “Start => All Programs => Hyperion => Administration Services” you should find the following menu items:

 

*  Administration Services Information Map

*  Business Rules Information Map

*  Start Administration Services Console

*  Start Administration Services Server

*  Stop Administration Services Server

*  Start Administration Services Server (Tomcat 5 aas)

*  Stop Administration Services Server (Tomcat 5 aas)

 

The two “Information Map” menu items provide links to selected documentation (note, the Business Rules Information Map link is broken; an automatic search will find the correct target; when the pop-up window appears click on the “Fix it” button).

 

The “Start Administration Services Console” menu item starts the Administration Services Console, which is used to manage the Essbase server.

 

Ignore the last four “Start” and “Stop” menu items.  As the Administration Services has been implemented as an MS Windows service, the Administration Server is started and stopped from the MS Windows Services screen, “Start => Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Services”.
