Installation Overview1In This ChapterAbout Essbase . 7About EssbaseOracle's Hyperion Essbase – System 9 provides companies with the ability to deliver criticalbusiness information to the right people at the right time. With Essbase, companies can leverageand integrate data from multiple existing data sources and distribute filtered information toend-user communities. Users interact and intuitively explore data in real-time and along familiarbusiness dimensions, enabling them to perform speed-of-thought analytics.Essbase includes these components: Essbase Server Sample applications Runtime Client Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in for Excel Application Programming Interface (API)Essbase ServerEssbase Server is a database for storing data with multiple dimensions such as time, accounts,regions, channel, or product. It manages analytical data models, data storage, calculations, anddata security.Essbase Server offers two storage models: Aggregate storage databases—For large-scale, sparsely distributed data that is categorizedinto many, potentially large dimensions Block storage databases—For applications that perform interactive planning, allocations,and sophisticated analytics, such as sales forecast applications or profitability analysisapplicationsAbout Essbase7
Sample ApplicationsEssbase Server includes sample applications and databases that demonstrate Essbase features.See Chapter 6, “Setting Up Sample Applications.”Runtime ClientRuntime Client is the minimal set of program files needed to communicate with a remote EssbaseServer using either a local custom Essbase application or MaxL.Included in the Essbase Runtime Client is the standalone, embedded mode of Java API, whichallows JAPI clients to communicate directly to Essbase Server without requiring Oracle'sHyperion Provider Services. High availability and clustering is not available with embeddedJava API. To enable high availability and clustering, you must use Java API with Provider Services.See the Hyperion Provider Services Installation and Administration Guide.Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in for ExcelEssbase Spreadsheet Add-in for Excel integrates Essbase with Microsoft Excel. EssbaseSpreadsheet Add-in for Excel adds the Essbase menu to Excel, which provides enhancedcommands such as Connect, Pivot, Drill-down, and Calculate. Users can access and analyze dataon Essbase Server by using simple mouse clicks and drag-and-drop operations. EssbaseSpreadsheet Add-in for Excel enables multiple users to access and update data on an EssbaseServer simultaneously.Application Programming InterfaceEssbase API is an application programming interface that enables developers to build customEssbase applications using programs such as Visual Basic, C and C . Essbase API is an interfacebetween custom client applications and Essbase Server that manages the transfer of data betweenclient and server over the network.When a custom Essbase application makes calls to functions within the API, data is returnedfrom Essbase Server to the application. Essbase API contains the same routines that Essbase usesinternally. The Essbase API Reference provides a complete listing of API functions, platforms,and supported compilers.8Installation Overview

Your actual configuration may differ from this exampledepending on your company’s environment.Keep the following considerations in mind as they may affect hardware requirements:10 Concurrent usage may be higher or lower in your environment than in this example. Forinstance, your organization may have 150 users total, but concurrent usage may typically bearound 80 (rather than 30 to 40), increasing hardware requirements. The frequency of queries and the volume of report generation affect hardware requirements.Planning the Essbase Installation
Adequate load & performance testing should be integrated into the testing phase of yourimplementation to validate your production environment hardware sizing and assess overalltechnical readiness.Table 1Essbase Installation for up to 150 Users—Hardware RequirementsHyperion ComponentRequirementsComputer 1:For each computer:Oracle's Hyperion Shared Services Dual Pentium 4, 2 GHz and higher 4 GB RAM 32 GB disk space (after OS installation, 10 GB available)Computer 2:Essbase ServerComputer 3: Essbase Administration Server Provider ServicesTable 2Essbase Installation for up to 150 Users—Software RequirementsHyperion ComponentRequirementsComputer 1:See the Hyperion Installation Start Here.Shared ServicesComputer 2: Essbase Server Oracle's Essbase Integration ServicesComputer 3: Essbase Administration Server Provider ServicesAbout Hyperion HomeWhen multiple Hyperion products are installed on one computer, common internal and thirdparty components are installed to a central location, called Hyperion Home. The HyperionHome location is defined in the system environment variable called HYPERION HOME.Hyperion Home LocationThe default location for Hyperion Home is C:\Hyperion. When you install, the installersearches for the HYPERION HOME environment variable on the computer to which you areinstalling.If the Hyperion Home location was previously defined for another Hyperion product, theinstallation uses the previously defined location. The location cannot be changed through theinstaller.About Hyperion Home11
If the current installation is the first Hyperion installation on the computer, you can specify thelocation during installation.See “Directories and Files Installed” on page 19.ESSLANG VariableYou must choose the correct ESSLANG setting for programs (such as Essbase and Oracle'sEssbase Administration Services) to start successfully. ESSLANG points to the correct GlobalC locale (installed in the ARBORPATH\locale directory). The ESSLANG setting for a computermust agree with the locale setting of the computer’s operating system.On Windows platforms, the Essbase Server installation program prompts you to select a valuefor the ESSLANG environment variable.Caution!The Essbase Server installation program does not default to an ESSLANG value that matches thelocale setting on that computer. Instead, you must determine the locale setting on the computerand then select the matching ESSLANG value during installation.ESSLANG Value SettingsEssbase requires you to set an ESSLANG value. See the topic on managing file encoding in theHyperion Essbase – System 9 Database Administrator's Guide.The default value for ESSLANG is English (Latin1). For examples of ESSLANG values forlanguages other than English, see the list of supported locales in the unicode-mode applicationstopic in the Hyperion Essbase – System 9 Database Administrator's Guide.The Essbase Server installation program displays only the ESSLANG language and encoding; notthe full value. For example, you see English (Latin1), notEnglish UnitedStates.Latin1@BinaryNote:ESSLANG does not need to be set on the computer where Essbase client software is installed,unless the client software is installed on the same computer as Essbase Server. If you are installingonly client software, the installation program does not prompt you to set the ESSLANG variable.When ESSLANG is not set on a client computer, the computer locale is used for encoding.Managing ESSLANG SettingsThe ESSLANG environment variable on the Essbase Server computer must retain the locale valueof an application for as long as that application is in use.12Planning the Essbase Instal
