You have bought this book so you must be anxious to get started, and you can hardly wait. Well, not until you install the software. Yes, this is where we actually get going. This chapter will assist you in installing Oracle Essbase server (aka the Essbase agent), Essbase Administration Services (EAS), and the Essbase Add-in for Microsoft Excel. Oracle Essbase server can be installed on several platforms like Unix, Windows, and Linux. For the most part, this book discusses a typical Windows installation. Installing the Essbase analytic server In this book, we will be focusing on version 9.x of Oracle Essbase. For your Windows installation, the minimum recommended system requirements are shown. Operating system and processor requirements: Operating system Platform Processor Windows 2003 SP1 Windows 2000 SP4 32-bit x86 Windows 2003 SP1 Server Enterprise Edition 64-bit Itanium 2 x64 Disk space and RAM requirements: Component Disk Space RAM Essbase Server 1GB 1GB API 20MB 256MB (minimum) This material is copyright and is licensed for the sole use by Paul Corcorran on 5th July 2009 8601 ave. p #1, , lubbock, , 79423 Download at Boykma.Com Installing Oracle Essbase [ 14 ] You now know the recommended system requirements to install Essbase and we assume you have the software in hand, therefore, let's install Essbase. 1. Double-click the setup le for Oracle Essbase. After installing the Java Runtime Environment and initializing the install wizard, you will be presented with a screen asking you to select a language to be used by the installation wizard. This is the language that the rest of the installation screens will display. We recommend English as it is the only choice available in the list box. 2. The next is the Oracle Essbase welcome screen. As welcome screens go it's fairly tale and contains the standard blah blah blah, read it and then click Next whenever you are ready. 3. On the next screen, you are asked to select a country. Please select the appropriate country for your application, as this selection sets the country variable in the system. This country variable is used for currency calculations. 4. The next step is the license agreement screen, which you should read very carefully. When you have nished, select I AGREE, then click Next to proceed.
