Installation Prerequisites
11
64-bit Operating System
When using a 64-bit operating system, such as Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition, it is necessary to first install the 64-bit version of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 before installing Data
Relationship Management.
Windows Server 2008 Prerequisites
When installing on Microsoft Windows Server 2008, you must install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 from the management console.
ä
To install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1:
1
From the Start Menu, select All Programs, Administrative Tools, and then Server Manager.
2
In the tree on the left, click Features.
3
Click the Add Features link on the right.
4
Select the .NET Framework 3.5.1 Features option.
5
Click Next.
6
Click Install.
7
Click Close after the installation completes.
l l l
Oracle Database Prerequisites
If you are using an Oracle RAC database system, you must create the tablespaces with the appropriate RDBMS software prior to installation.
Whether the scripts are run automatically or manually, the user must be logged in as
SYSTEM. When you manually execute the database scripts, the User ID that was designated for Data Relationship Management database connectivity in the Repository Wizard is created in the RDBMS (if it does not already exist). The user is assigned a default tablespace of DRM_DATA and must have access rights to the following items: m m m m
Default tablespace (usually DRM_DATA)
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE
CONNECT
CREATE ANY SEQUENCE m m
CREATE USER
ALTER USER
When you manually execute the database scripts, the user is logged in as the schema owner which, has a default tablespace of DRM_DATA. This user must have access rights to the following items: m
Default tablespace (usually DRM_DATA) — this can be done after the install if the tablespaces were not created.

Note: You can change the schema owner name during the installation process.
l l
SQL Server Database Prerequisites
If you are using a SQL Server Cluster database system, you must create the database with the appropriate RDBMS software prior to installation.
If the User ID designated for Data Relationship Management database connectivity is created manually prior to the installation, it is important to make this user database owner of the
Data Relationship Management database.
PDF Font Requirement for Asian Glyphs
To be able to see Asian glyphs in downloaded PDF files, the "Arial Unicode MS" font must be installed on the Web server.
Virtual Memory Pagefile Sizing
To ensure proper performance, it is strongly recommended that Windows pagefile size on the
Data Relationship Management server be at least 1.5 times system memory with growth allowed up to 2.0 times system memory. When system memory is large (for example, 64 GB and higher) the pagefile can be between 1.0 and 1.5 times system memory. Smaller pagefile sizes can result in serious performance and functional issues.

About Middleware Home and EPM Oracle Home
Middleware Home
A Middleware home consists of the Oracle WebLogic Server home, and, optionally, one or more
Oracle homes, including EPM Oracle home. A Middleware home can reside on a local file system or on a remote shared disk that is accessible through Network File System (NFS).
The Middleware home location is defined during the first product installation on the computer.
Subsequent installations on the computer use the previously defined location. The default installation directory is
Oracle/Middleware
. The Middleware home location is referred to as
MIDDLEWARE_HOME
throughout this document.
EPM Oracle Home
An Oracle home contains installed files necessary to host a specific product, and resides within the directory structure of the Middleware home. The EPM Oracle home contains files for EPM
System products.
Components of EPM System products are installed in the EPM Oracle home directory under the Middleware home. The default EPM Oracle home location is
MIDDLEWARE_HOME/
EPMSystem11R1
. In addition, common internal components used by the products are installed in EPM Oracle home. Choose the location carefully to ensure that the location has enough disk space for all products that you are installing on the machine. You cannot change the location.
The EPM Oracle home location is defined in the system environment variable called
EPM_ORACLE_HOME
. The EPM Oracle home location is referred to as

Load Balancing Data Relationship Management Web
Applications
You can configure Oracle HTTP Server to provide load balancing support to two or more Data
Relationship Management Web applications. You set up Oracle HTTP Server to redirect requests to the IIS servers hosting the Data Relationship Management Web client. This procedure assumes that the Oracle HTTP Server installed by the EPM System Installer is the logical host. The EPM
System Installer performs the necessary prerequisite checks for Oracle HTTP Server. For more information, see the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and
Configuration Guide.
ä
To set up Oracle HTTP Server as a load balancer for the Data Relationship Management
Web client:
1
Install the Data Relationship Management Web Server component on two or more computers running
IIS.
2
Configure Data Relationship Management applications and host computers using the procedure described in
“Configuring Data Relationship Management Applications” on page 21 .
Load Balancing Data Relationship Management Web Applications
33
3
Open the httpd.conf file for Oracle HTTP Server found in the following location:
MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1/httpConfig/ohs/config/OHS/ ohs_component/httpd.conf
4
Ensure that the following directives exist and are enabled. Add the directives if they do not exist.
LoadModule proxy_balancer_module “${ORACLE_HOME}/ohs/modules/ mod_proxy_balancer.so”
LoadModule headers_module “${ORACLE_HOME}/ohs/modules/ mod_headers.so”
5
Create a proxy balancer definition for the Data Relationship Management Web client by adding a
BalanceMember directive for each IIS server that hosts the Data Relationship Management Web Server component.
#Configure members for cluster
<Proxy balancer://iisdrm>
BalancerMember http://Machine1:80/drm-web-client route=server1
BalancerMember http://Machine2:80/drm-web-client route=server2
</Proxy>
6
Enable sticky load balancing by adding the following directives. These sample directives instruct Oracle
HTTP Server to insert a cookie that keeps track of the route for sticky load balancing of the proxy balancers defined in the previous step.
Header add Set-Cookie "BALANCEID= iisdrm.%{BALANCER_WORKER_ROUTE}e; path=/drm-webclient;" env=BALANCER_ROUTE_CHANGED
7
Add the following Forward and Reverse Proxy directives.
#The actual ProxyPass
ProxyPass /drm-web-client balancer://iisdrm stickysession=BALANCEID nofailover=Off
#Do not forget ProxyPassReverse for redirects
ProxyPassReverse /drm-web-client http://<drm_web_server1>:80/drm-web-client
ProxyPassReverse /drm-web-client http://<drm_web_server2>:80/drm-web-client
8
Save the httpd.conf file and restart the Oracle Process Manager server for the Oracle HTTP Server instance.
After configuration, the Data Relationship Management web application can be accessed using the following URL: http://<ohs_server>:<port>/drm-web-client
.
Using Single Sign On with Data Relationship
Management
Single Sign On (SSO) for Data Relationship Management requires various components to be installed and configured. In a typical Web SSO environment, a Web identity management solution controls authentication and authorization for one or more independent software systems. The goal of SSO is to allow a user to gain access to the various independent systems without being prompted for a login for each system.
34
Configuring Data Relationship Management
Data Relationship Management implements SSO by utilizing Shared Services, a web identity management solution (such as Oracle Access Manager), and an external user directory (such as
Oracle Internet Directory or Microsoft Active Directory).
Use the following steps to install and configure SSO:
Task
1. Configure Shared Services with an external user directory.
2. Configure Shared Services for SSO.
Reference
See “Configuring OID, Active Directory, and other LDAP-based User
Directories” in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management
System User and Role Security Guide.
See “Configuring EPM System for SSO” in the Oracle Enterprise
Performance Management System Security Administration Guide.
3. Install Data Relationship Management.
4. In the Data Relationship Management Configuration Console, configure Data Relationship Management for CSS authentication mode and enable SSO.
“Installing Data Relationship Management” on page 16
“Configuring Host Computers” on page 27
5. Configure a Web identity management solution to protect the Data
Relationship Management Web application and use the same external user directories configured in Shared Services.
See “Web Access Management” on page 35 .
.
Web Access Management
The Data Relationship Management Web application resources must be protected so that any request to the Web application is redirected to a Web access management application, such as
Oracle Access Manager. After a user authenticates with the security agent using basic authentication, the agent forwards the request to the Data Relationship Management Web application where HTTP header information is passed to the Data Relationship Management server for authentication.
Oracle Access Manager
Oracle Access Manager (OAM) provides authentication and authorization for the Data
Relationship Management Web application. In this documentation, it is assumed that OAM has been installed, configured with access policies for the Data Relationship Management Web application. For more information, see “Configuring the Access System and Protecting
Resources” in the OAM Access Administration Guide.
After OAM is configured, an ISAPI filter for IIS must be installed on the server in which your
Data Relationship Management Web application is running. The WebGate module intercepts
HTTP requests for Web content on the server and forwards the requests to Oracle Access Server.
This is the only extension that needs to be installed on the Data Relationship Management Web tier.
The component that installs that filter is the Oracle Access Manager ISAPI Webgate module.
For the ISAPI Webgate module download, see the Readme file for “Oracle Access Manager 10g

The following graphic depicts the process flow with Oracle Access Manager:
Terminating SSL at the Web Server
You can use SSL secure communication from a client's Web browser and the IIS Data
Relationship Management Web application drm-web-client using Oracle HTTP Server (OHS).
In this configuration, the client’s browser communicates with OHS via the HTTPS protocol and
OHS acts as a proxy and communicates with the Data Relationship Management Web application via HTTP. See “Terminating SSL at the Web Server” in the Oracle Enterprise
Performance Management System Security Administration Guide.

Installing and Configuring Foundation Services
To support Web Services (WS) Security, Shared Services must be installed and Data Relationship
Management must be configured to use Shared Services for authentication. WebLogic and the
Oracle Web Services Manager components are installed when you install Foundation Services.
.
Installing Metadata Services Schema for Oracle Web
Services Manager
Oracle Web Services Manager requires a database in order to function. Requirements and instructions on how to install the Metadata Services Schema for Oracle Web Services Manager can be found here: l l
“Repository Creation Utility (RCU) Requirements” in Oracle Fusion Middleware System
Requirements and Specifications
“Create Schemas for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BAM” in Oracle Fusion Middleware

Configuration Wizard to configure a WebLogic domain, and select the products that you want to configure in that domain. To start the Configuration Wizard, select the Configuration
Wizard icon from the Tools menu in the WebLogic Server menu.
Note: EPM System and Oracle Web Services Manager must be deployed to the same domain.
The choice you make for the domain depends on your deployment scenario.
ä
To configure Oracle Web Services Manager:
1
Do one of the following: l l
In a new deployment, where you have not yet configured any EPM System products, create a new WebLogic domain.
In an existing deployment, where you have already configured some EPM System products and now want to extend the deployment to include the Data Relationship
38
Deploying and Configuring the Data Relationship Management Web Service API
Management Web service, you must extend the existing WebLogic domain created during EPM System deployment.
2
During deployment, select the following products: WSM Policy Manager, and Oracle JRF.
3
Select the default JDK. Oracle recommends that you select Production Mode.
Note: If you installed WebLogic from the Foundation Services installation, the user name and password to start the Admin Server or log into the admin console is the same user name and password entered in the EPM System Configurator for Foundation
(epm_admin by default).
4
When you configure the JDBC datasources, enter the database details you entered when you ran the
Repository Creation Utility (RCU).
5
Oracle recommends deploying the Data Relationship Management Web Service to a Managed Server instead of the AdminServer which is installed by default when you create a domain. In the Optional
Configuration section, select Managed Servers, Clusters and Machines to create a Managed Server.
Configuring WebLogic with an External Provider
To configure WebLogic, see “Connecting Oracle Internet Directory (OID), Microsoft Active
Directory (MSAD), or SunOne to the SOA Server” in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance
Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
Configuring the API Adapter
The API Adapter must be configured using the Data Relationship Management Configuration
Console. When you configure a Data Relationship Management application, you set up API
Adapter Hosts on the Host Machines tab. For more information, see
Note: The API Adapter is used for internal communication with the Web Service and should not be used directly by custom API programs.
Deploying the Web Service
The oracle-epm-drm-webservices.ear
file should be deployed to an existing WebLogic domain.
Deploy oracle-epm-drm-webservices.ear
to WebLogic. Instructions for installing a Web application can be found in “Deploying Web Services Applications” in Oracle Fusion Middleware
Security and Administrator's Guide for Web Services.

Configuring Data Relationship Management API Adapter for
SSL (Optional)
The Data Relationship Management Web Service uses the API Adapter to communicate with the Data Relationship Management server.
ä
To configure the Data Relationship Management API Adapter for SSL:
1
Install an SSL Certificate and map the API Adapter port to this certificate.
Note: The Data Relationship Management API Adapter uses the Windows Communication
Foundation (WCF). For more information regarding WCF and working with certificates, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731899%28v=VS.
90%29.aspx
.
40
Deploying and Configuring the Data Relationship Management Web Service API
a. Obtain an SSL certificate. For a production environment, a certificate should be obtained from a reputable Certificate Authority vendor. For a test environment, selfsigned certificates can be generated using the Windows MakeCert utility.
b. Import the certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store using the
MMC Snap-in.
c. Obtain a thumbprint value from the certificate.
d. Configure the API Adapter (WCF) port with an SSL Certificate. For instructions, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733791%28v=VS.90%29.aspx
.
Note: The default port for the API Adapter is 5240.
2
Configure API Adapter for HTTPS / SSL. To enable SSL, on the API Adapter Hosts tab of the Data
Relationship Management Configuration Console, enter the Certificate Name.
3
Test to make sure HTTPS/SSL is working.
a. After the changes described above have been completed, restart the Data Relationship
Management Service. This can be done from the Data Relationship Management
Configuration Console.
b. From a Web browser, access the Data Relationship Management API Adapter WSDL using the following URL: https://drm host name:5240/Oracle/Drm/
APIAdapter?wsdl
where drm host name is the name of the computer where the Data
Relationship Management Server is running.
Note: The protocol is https instead of http. The http protocol can be used to access the wsdl when HTTPS/SSL is not enabled.
Testing the Data Relationship Management Web
Service Using Oracle Enterprise Manager
ä
To test the Web Service using Oracle Enterprise Manager:
1
Ensure that the Data Relationship Management Web Service has an Oracle Web Services Manager security policy attached. A local or global policy can be attached.
For example: oracle/wss_username_token_service_policy
Note: You can have only one policy at a time attached to the Data Relationship Management
Web Service.

Data Analysis
The Repository Analysis page provides information about the source repository so that decisions can be made that affect size and objects in the new repository. The Analysis Summary section provides an overview of the analysis. The space requirements are broken down into different segments and are given as a whole so that the user can better understand the space requirements for the new repository. Sizing found here is automatically applied to the Repository User and
Data File settings page when the calculated space requirements are greater than 200 MB for each default tablespace in an Oracle repository, or greater than 5 MB for the data and log files in a
50
Upgrading a Data Relationship Management Installation
SQL Server repository. The Object Analysis section displays outstanding issues that need to be addressed prior to moving on with the upgrade.
l l l l l
Versions –– Displays the versions and provides the opportunity to deselect versions that should not be included in the upgrade. Deselecting a version affects the space and count values in the Summary section.
Exports –– Displays any exports that need special attention. Exports that require an External
Connection for results or other external files are included here. Exports that are no longer supported, such as custom exports, are included here as well. If no External Connection is provided, the export is configured as a client file export. For more information on External
Connection, see
“Working with External Connections” on page 52
.
Books –– Displays books that require an External Connection for combined files, Pre files, and or Post files. If no External Connection is provided, the export is configured without utilizing a combined file. For more information on External Connections, see
“Working with External Connections” on page 52 .
Imports –– Displays imports that require an External Connection for its input file. If no
External Connection is specified, the import is configured as using a client input file. For
more information on External Connections, see “Working with External Connections” on page 52 .
Invalid Property References –– Displays property references that may cause unexpected behavior in the Data Relationship Management system. These invalid references are generally only caused by updating the Data Relationship Management database directly.
The following scenarios are included here.
For the following two scenarios, during repository analysis, the property definition is flagged and its data values that can no longer be referenced are considered abandoned. When upgrading an 11.1.1.x source, the abandoned records are not copied to the new repository.
When upgrading an 11.1.2.x source, the abandoned records are copied to the new repository but are not displayed in the Web Client UI and a warning is displayed in the Windows Event
Viewer Application log on the application controller when the Data Relationship
Management service is started.
m m
A global property that has been referenced as a local property in the Property_Local or
RM_Node_Prop_Local tables.
A local property that has been referenced as a global property in the Property_Global or RM_Node_Prop_Global tables.
For example, records in the 11.1.1.x Property_Local table will not be copied for property definitions that are now set as global. Likewise, records in the 11.1.1.x Property_Global table will not be copied for property definitions that are now set as local.
For the following scenarios, during repository analysis, the property definition is flagged to alert the user only. The property definition is copied to the upgraded database as it exists in the source database but should be reviewed for validity.

Working with External Connections
External Connections are used to access server file locations, FTP locations, and database tables.
You can create and apply default connections and you can apply connections individually. After you create a file connection, it can be referenced by any object that requires a file connection.
For example, if you create a connection for an export, that connection is also available in the imports section. You can multi-select and apply or you can select all and apply.
Creating External Connections
You can create external connections on a specific row in the analysis or at the top of the analysis screen in the File Connections field. In both places, you click to open the Create Connection dialog box. When you create external connections at the row level, the connection is automatically applied to the row.

Data Conversion
The following sections describe how data is converted during an upgrade:
Upgrading an Existing Data Relationship Management Application
53
l l l l
Users
The role assigned to an ADMIN user is reset to all roles. Also, the password expiration date is reset to the current date plus the duration set in system preferences.
Caution!
If you are upgrading 11.1.2.x applications, the password for an existing ADMIN user is not overwritten with the password entered here.
The Data Relationship Management upgrade process uses the following user type mappings:
Old User Type Assigned Functional Roles
System
Functional
Security
Access Manager
Application Administrator
Data Manager
Workflow User
Data Manager
Workflow User
Access Manager
User Interactive User
Workflow User
Transactions
l
The Data Relationship Management user interface displays date and time in local time and format according to the user's session. When converting timestamp values from releases prior to 11.1.2, the following rules apply: m m
Timestamps are converted to UTC using the offset of the time zone in which the Data
Relationship Management Configuration Console is running. If the console is running in a time zone that is different than the time zone in which the pre-11.1.2 release source data was written, then the converted dates could be earlier or later by one or more hours.
Releases prior to 11.1.2 did not consistently apply daylight savings time, therefore all transaction dates are converted using the appropriate offset dictated by the time zone in which the Data Relationship Management Configuration Console is running. If the date falls in a standard time period for the time zone of the console, then the standard
UTC offset is applied. If the date falls in a daylight savings time period for the time zone
54
Upgrading a Data Relationship Management Installation
l l of the console, then the daylight savings UTC offset is applied. For example, in the
Eastern time zone, the standard UTC offset is -5 hours; during daylight savings time periods, the offset is -4 hours. For all new data added after the repository is upgraded, the stored dates also reflect the applicable standard and daylight savings UTC offsets.
Transaction records for deleted versions in the source repository are not copied to the target repository, thus the number of Transaction History records copied may not match the row count in the target RM_Transaction table.
If you deselect versions, transactions belonging to those versions are not copied.
The Export Run transaction type stores the export name in the Object Name field instead of the
Property Abbrev field.
The Data Relationship Management upgrade process uses the following transaction name mappings:
Old Transaction Name New Transaction Name
Automator Run
Migration Extract
Action Script Run
Migration Export
Migration Load
Add System Category
Migration Import
Admin Add Hierarchy Group
Update System Category Admin Update Hierarchy Group
Delete System Category Admin Delete Hierarchy Group
Exports
The following sections explain how exports are upgraded.
Preview Exports
Exports that have the output mode of Preview are directly migrated to a Client File target device.
Database Exports
To use database exports, updated database connection information is required to create new
External Connections. You can provide connection information for each database export, which facilitate the creation of new External Connections. If you choose to skip this step during the upgrade process, the database parameter information for the export is retained and migrated, but the output mode is set to Client File so that the export is in working order. After the system is up and running, new connections can be created and the exports can be configured to use them.
Upgrading an Existing Data Relationship Management Application
55
File Exports
File locations in systems prior to this release are configured in context of the client. Since the new system is a Web application, exports need to generate files based on the context of the server.
For exports with the File output mode, the upgrade process allows you to provide file location information to facilitate new External Connections that map to a UNC path. If you choose to skip this step during the upgrade process, the filename is retained and migrated, but the output mode of the export is set to Client File. After the upgrade process, a proper External Connection can be created, and the export can be configured to use it.
Ancestor Exports
Ancestor exports are converted to Generation exports with appropriate settings to return the equivalent results as in the original Ancestor export.
Export Books
Export books containing file information are treated much like File Exports. During the upgrade process, you can create external connections to be used for the combined file, Pre file and Post file for the book. If you choose to skip this step during the upgrade process, the book is set to output to a client file.
Imports
Systems prior to this release allowed users to save import file locations and log file locations in context of the client application. In this release, file locations are now saved in context of the server using an External Connection, or an import can be saved to be able to choose a local file at runtime. During the upgrade process, you are given the opportunity to supply connection information that is used to create new External Connections. If you choose to skip this step during the upgrade process, the import requires that you choose a local import file at runtime.
The log file is no longer saved to a file. The import results are rendered on the page, and if desired, you can download the results.
External Connections
External connections that were added on the Analysis page are inserted in to the new database and referenced by the metadata objects for which they were selected.
Properties
The Data Relationship Management 11.1.2.1 release introduced namespaces for property definitions. The upgrade process for a pre-11.1.2.1 application automatically converts derived property formulas with explicit property name references to use the appropriate namespace prefix (Custom for user-defined properties or Core for system-defined properties).
56
Upgrading a Data Relationship Management Installation
Upgrading Properties with Derived Property References
For derived property formulas from a pre-11.1.2.1 application that reference a calculated property name based on the value of other properties at run time, the formulas must be manually edited to insert the namespace prefix (Custom or Core) using the Concat function. The application upgrade process cannot identify or automatically convert derived properties of this nature since the referenced property names are only calculated during the evaluation of the formula for a node.
For example, a formula which derives the value of the property returned from the MyPropName property before upgrade:
PropValue(PropValue(MyPropName))
The explicit property reference is updated to Custom.MyPropName after upgrade:
PropValue(PropValue(Custom.MyPropName))
However, the value returned from the Custom.MyPropName property at runtime also needs to be identified in a particular namespace. The formula needs to be manually edited to concatenate the appropriate namespace in order for the outer PropValue function to evaluate correctly:
PropValue(Concat(Custom.,PropValue(Custom.MyPropName)))
Applying Updates to an Application
ä
To apply updates to an existing 11.1.2.x repository:
1
Create a new application.
2
On the Repository Configuration tab, specify repository connection information for an existing 11.1.2.x
repository.
3
Select the application from the Applications list.
4
From the Application menu, select Apply Updates.
Note: The Apply Updates option is not applicable to any release prior to 11.1.2.0.x.
l l
Upgrading Batch Client Scripts
To function properly, you must manually upgrade Batch Client scripts from releases before
11.1.2 by making these changes:
Change the Batch Client program name to drm-batch-client.exe
Change the URL to the Data Relationship Management application (refer to the Process
Manager URL on the Host Machines tab of the Configuration Console).
See the Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management User's Guide for information on Batch
Client parameters.
Applying Updates to an Application
57
Upgrading API Programs
API programs using the 11.1.2.1 Web service API can be manually upgraded to work with the
Web service API in this release. To manually upgrade, you must regenerate proxy classes, rebuild projects, and resolve build errors that may arise from changes to previously used methods and types. See “Upgrading 11.1.2.1 API Programs” in the Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship
Management API Guide for a list of API changes between product releases and for instructions on regenerating Web service proxy classes.
API programs used with Data Relationship Management releases prior to 11.1.2 must be manually modified to use the Web service API offered in this release. Enhancements that have been made to the Web service API are covered in the Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship
Management New Features. For more information on using the Web service API, see the Oracle
Hyperion Data Relationship Management API Guide. See “Upgrading Pre-11.1.2 API Programs” in the Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management API Guide for a mapping of pre-11.1.2
API operations to those available in the Web service API for this release.
