Essbase 21C on prem installation

User_C3VLK

Hi There,

We want to test 21C on prem for windows, and I have test server which has 11.1.2.4 installed (single server with all components, essbase, shared services, etc).

My question is, can I install 21C and run it properly at this test server?

Thanks

Hello User_C3VLK,

21c has differences and is not conjoined with 11.1.2.4.x. See:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/other-databases/essbase/21/essoa/differences-essbase-11g-and-essbase-21c.html Of course you can migrate to 21c once installed https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/other-databases/essbase/21/essoa/migrate-essbase-11g.html

Best,

David

David,

Thanks for the info, I realize there are tons of difference between 21C and 11.1.2.4,

The only thing I am trying to do here is to leverage current test server, (it will take a while to ask IT to build new server), wondering if I can install 21C on current 11.1.2.4 server.

Hello User_C3VLK,

It may work if there are 2 separate machines carved from the current machine. You don't want to mix ENV variables e.g., ORACLE_HOME, Opatch inventories etc., which is why the machine separation is recommended.

Best,

Thanks again David!

yeah Oracle home path could be the issue, that makes sense. I probably just ask them to build new server.

btw if I install 21C in different drive, for example, I have 11.1.2.4 on E drive, then I install 21C on C drive, could that work? Just curious.
