How To Change Shared Services Database Repository in EPM 11 (Doc ID 976279.1)

Modified: 25-Jul-2012 Type: HOWTO Status: PUBLISHED Priority: 3

In this Document Goal Fix

APPLIES TO:
Hyperion Essbase - Version 11.1.1.3.00 and later Information in this document applies to any platform. Unix Variable reference $HYPERION_HOME={location to Hyperion Home installation} Windows Variable reference %HYPERION_HOME%={location to Hyperion Home installation}

GOAL
How to reconfigure your Shared Services or EPM products database using the configuration tool. NOTE: This article assumes you want to recreate a new database repository

FIX
NOTE: It is NOT recommended to perform this procedure as any user other than the installing user. If you are not able to perform this procedure as the installing user and must use a different user then ensure that the new user has full control to all files and folders of the EPM_ORACLE_HOME location as well as the Oracle Inventory Location under C:\Program Files\Oracle. You will also need to copy the .oracle.instance file from the installing users Profile directory to the new users profile directory.

For versions 11.1.1.x: 1. Stop Shared Services and other EPM products. 2. Change directory to $HYPERION_HOME/common/config/9.5.0.0 directory. 3. Rename or move the reg.properties file to save it as a backup copy. 4. While still under the config/9.5.0.0 directory change directory to products/foundation/9.5.0.0 (to change database settings for Shared Services. For other products, change directory to products/{products_name}/9.5.0.0) 5. 6. 7. 8. For Shared Services edit the foundation_1_config.xml file. Within the file find the text "relationalStorageConfiguration. Change the value "Configured" to "Pending" or "Unconfigured". Either is acceptable. Save the xml file. Windows Example:

C:\Hyperion\common\config\9.5.0.0\product\foundation\9.5.0.0 You will see the following tag in "foundation_1_config.xml" file <property name="relationalStorageConfiguration">Configured</property> <----change to------> <property name="relationalStorageConfiguration">Pending</property>

9. Run the configtool from $HYPERION_HOME\common\config\9.5.0.0 directory and do the database configuration task(s) again. Run the database configuration task for Shared Services first then each additional product if applicable. For versions 11.1.2.x: You cannot change a configured Shared Services database directly in EPM System Configurator without removing the file that contains the previously configured database information: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Navigate to EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/foundation/11.1.2.0. Backup/copy the reg.properties file. Delete the reg.properties file. Restart EPM System Configurator. Select "Create New EPM Instance and provide the same path to the existing EPM instance" Note: The EPM Instance path is the location of the epmsystem[n] directory where the [n] represents a number. Windows Example: EPM Instance path C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1 Unix Example: $HOME is the logged in users home directory variable which contains the logged in users home location EPM Instance path $HOME/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1 6. 7. Reconfigure the Shared Services database by selecting "Connect to a previously configured database."
