Overview
Financial Management software is a comprehensive, Web-based Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) application. It delivers global collection, financial consolidation, reporting, and analysis in a single, highly scalable software solution. In this tutorial, you learn how to perform a silent installation and configuration of Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services and Financial Management. You also learn how to use Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect, Fusion Edition, Batch Client to create and deploy a Financial Management application from a script. Back to Topic List
The software to install Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installer, Fusion Edition, Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services, and Financial Management must be downloaded and unzipped from Oracle's e-Delivery Web site. A relational database for Oracle Hyperion products must be created. Back to Topic List
Prerequisites
Before starting this tutorial, you should: 1. Have downloaded and unzipped the installation packages for EPM System Installer, Foundation Services, and Financial Management. 2. Have created a database schema for Hyperion Shared Services and Enterprise Performance Management System products, and assigned appropriate roles or rights for the users or resources. You must use the same database schema for Shared Services and all EPM System products in a silent configuration. Back to Topic List
To enable silent installation, record your installation settings in a response file. You can then run a silent installation from the command line, and use the installation options that you saved in the response file. 1. At a command prompt, navigate to the directory that contains EPM System Installer. The EPM System Installer executable is installTool.cmd.
2. Enter installtool.cmd -record filename, where filename is the name of the response file that you want to create.
4. On the Welcome panel, verify that the system prerequisites were met, and click Next.
5. On the Destination panel, enter the name of your Hyperion home directory, and click Next.

13. On the Financial Management application server cluster panel, specify the application cluster and the names of the servers that participate in the cluster, and click Next. An application server cluster is a set of application servers that run the same application. Clustered application servers provide load balancing and failover capability and enable the servers to be transparently maintained while applications remain available for users.
14. On the Financial Management application server cluster registration panel, perform the following actions: a. Select the names of the application servers and clusters that you want to register. b. Click Add to move the servers and clusters to the Registered Servers/Clusters list. c. Click Next.

The system configures the product components by using the response file that you created.
Creating and Deploying an Application by Using Performance Management Architect Batch Client
After installing and configuring Financial Management, you can verify the installation by using Performance Management Architect Batch Client to create and deploy an application. The batch client is installed automatically when you install Performance Management Architect. You can run the batch client in two modes:
Command-line mode enables you to enter commands interactively and execute them immediately. Script mode enables you to execute multiple commands without your interaction. You can schedule the execution of a script by using a third-party scheduler. In this section, you create a script to create and deploy a Financial Management application. Creating an Application in a Script
1. Perform the following steps to create the script: a. Navigate to the directory where you want to create the script. b. Right-click and select New > Text Document.
Notepad is displayed. You can use any text editor to create the script.
2. Enter the following text to describe the tasks that the script will perform:
You can comment out lines in a script by inserting two forward slashes ( //) at the beginning of the line. If a line spans multiple lines, you must comment out each line separately. A line that has been commented out is informational only; the system ignores the lines when the script is run.
3. Enter the following text to specify the URL information for Performance Managment Architect and Workspace.
When you install Shared Services, the admin/password account is created by default.
