Overview
Introduction
Welcome, and thank you for choosing Oracle University. This technical document describes the
necessary steps to follow in order to replicate the technical environment for which these courses were
designed. Before proceeding, you may find it helpful to print this document for ease of reference.
Alternative Configurations
We strongly recommend following the exact configurations described in this document. However,
we realize that with the abundance of hardware, software, and networking configurations it will
not always be possible to follow these steps to the letter. As a result, here is a brief overview of
some additional configurations that may work. Please be sure to test these configurations
thoroughly and discuss them in detail with your Oracle University Representative before utilizing
them to support the course.
Essbase Server and mid-tier services can be installed on a separate server PC, and client
workstations can be configured to connect to the server over an intranet. In this setup, each
student would require a separate login ID (for example, trnadmin1, trnadmin2, and so on). When
creating applications on the shared server, students would need to name their applications
uniquely (for example, Bigcorp1, Bigcorp2, and so on). Some scripted batch processes will not
work in this environment.
Additionally, Oracle 11g can be replaced with any supported relational database (see Product
Compatibility Matrix for more information before product installation). Product installation data is
stored in a relational database, as is course-specific data.
Required Files
The following files are needed for the purposes of completing this setup. If you are missing all or
part of these files please contact your Oracle University Representative:
Glossary of Terminology
Application Instance Every time an application is started, memory is allocated and Essbase
background processes are started.
ARBORPATH Operating system variable that points to the directory where Essbase was
installed.
Client Workstation The computer where client software is installed. Client software might
include Administration Services Console, Smart View client, and an HTML browser. In a 3-Tier or
N-Tier architecture this would be the Client Tier. In the training environment, this is sometimes
known as the student PC.
Database - Collection of data that is treated as a unit. The purpose of a database is to store and
retrieve related information. The database consists of operating system files: data files, control
files and redo log files.
Essbase Server - Computer where Essbase databases are created.
Setup Instructions
Hardware Requirements
In its default configuration, this class is designed to run with Essbase Server and client
applications installed on every student PC, making each student PC a standalone database
server and client.
