New Features in Release 11.1.2.0
EPM System Installer now installs these items:
o WebLogic Server (replaces Apache Tomcat as the embedded Java container)
o Oracle HTTP Server (replaces Apache Web server as the embedded Web server)
Most EPM System products have adopted Oracle Diagnostic Logging (ODL) as the logging mechanism. The ODL framework provides uniform support for managing log files, including log file rotation, maximum log file size, and the maximum log directory size. For more information, see the “Using EPM System Logs” chapter of the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Troubleshooting Guide.
Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) integrates with My Oracle Support and provides configuration information for Oracle software. It assists in the troubleshooting, maintenance, and diagnostics of your EPM System deployment. For more information about Oracle Configuration Manager, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
This release allows the system administrator to reconfigure logical references to existing, deployed Web applications without redeploying them.
With this release, many EPM System products support host names that resolve to IPv6 addresses. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Certification Matrix. IPv4 support (both host name and IP address) remains unchanged from earlier releases.
EPM supports the following types of SSL configuration:
o Full SSL Deployment (including data access)
o SSL Terminating at the Web Server
o SSL Accelerators (off-loading)
o Two-way SSL
For more information on the SSL configurations, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide.
EPM System Configurator now requires the Shared Services “admin” password to be changed during system configuration. Once deployed, subsequent password changes are done through Shared Services. For more information, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
Essbase now supports active-passive failover without Oracle Clusterware.

Installation procedure:
Install Oracle Database if you need the database to be used as database for the fusion edition. I installed oracle Database 11.2.0.1 for the purpose.
Most part of the installation is just an easy. Once the pre-requisite is completed, there will be no issues in completion of the installation.
Start the installation using the setup installer zip file
./installTool.sh
After the pre-requisites testing finished, we will be able to see the launch screen.
Configuration of the Shared Services, Web server and other connections and ports:
The EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE location to be given in the following screen shot.
Provide the database details for the first-time configuration of shared services database.
Epm_admin is the domain to be created for Weblogic. We can skip this and we can add a new domain once the installation is completed.
Hyperion uses both Weblogic as well as Oracle HTTP Server for the user interface.
In this blog, we can describe the available option for deployment of weblogic too.
Specify the location of the datafile for Essbase studio.
Oracle HTTP Server port as 19000 by default.
Configuration is completed.

Run validate.sh from /EPM_ORACLE_BASE/bin
It will create a report at the location of
/EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/reports and find out the validation_report_date_time.html
Validate the failed status and rerun the configuration when required.
