Step 1
Copy the following files from the CD pack provided by the vendor or download it from the Oracle eDelivery (http://edelivery.oracle.com/) download site.
Oracle Hyperion EPM Installer 11.1.1.1 (V14818-01.zip)

Unzip all the file in a common directory (eg: \download_location). Assemblies of all the products will be copied into the directory “assemblies” (eg: \download_location\assemblies).

Step 2
If you want to run the installer from command prompt, Open Run->cmd and run the command InstallTool.cmd – console



You can also run the installer in GUI mode by Double – Clicking the tool “InstallToll.cmd”.

Step 3

Choose the Hyperion Home directory.

Step 4
Select “New Installation and “Choose components by tier”




Step 5
This screen shows the product binaries available for installation. Select the components, that needs to be installed


Next few screens shows the product's components selected for this installation.

Once the installation is over, we need to configure the products installed

Step 6

To configure the products installed, select “Configure” . Following screen will appear. Select Next to proceed.



Step 7
Select the product that needs to be configured



Step 8
Provide the Oracle DB Schema information for the Shared Services (HYPEPM_HSS). Note: The information provided in this screen is related to the repository of the Shared Services

Next few step lead to the configuration of the different products.

Please note the default ports of the different ports on which the respective products are installed



This completes the installation of the Oracle Hyperion EPM 11.1.1.1 Essbase server installation.

Important changes from the point of view of installation is that the default port of Shared Services has been changed from 58080 to 28080 (dont know why oracle did that)

So you are all set to install the new product suite...

Enjoy and do give the feedback
