Oracle Client install sequence before EPM install..

user623259

Hi All,

I'm trying to install EPM 11.1.2.1 on a Windows 2008 R2 Standard Server(64 bit). IIS 7. This a development/proof of concept set up.

I want to install Foundation, EPM Architect, Essbase, Planning, Reporting and Analysis, HFM, Strategic Finance and FDM on the same machine.

I want to install an Oracle 11g database 64 bit database to use as repository.

According to the Installation documents, EPM Architect and HFM support 64 bit Oracle client, but Strategic Finance and FDM require 32 bit Oracle client.

I installated them in the following order.

Oracle 11g 32 bit client
Oracle 11g 64 bit database
Oracle 11g 64 bit client

I faced issues in configuring EPM Architect where it didn't recognize ODAC installation.

1. What should be the order in which I should install the Oracle 11g 64 bit database, Oracle 11g 32 bit client and Oracle 11g 64 bit client ?

2. To install ODAC (ODP for ASP.NET ), I had to use the custom option for the clients, but the custom option shows listener and MTS services.
Should I install them for each client ?

Thanks.

If you are installing this one machine then I would take the route of Oracle DB, 32bit client, 64bit client
