February 2010




Featuring: Cris Dunn

Question:“I’m a systems administrator, my company has implemented Hyperion Planning and they want me to manage it. What do I need to know to manage this application?”

Cris: "As a system admin, you will be responsible for ensuring the application is available and recoverable. Additionally, you may be required to manage changes to the Planning system. I suggest starting with the Oracle Hyperion Planning 11.1.1 Installation Configuration. This 3-day class walks through the process of installing Planning as well as supporting products in a multi-server environment. This first step will familiarize you with the infrastructure and introduce you to the application logs and configuration files. Additionally, the installation class introduces you to the Hyperion Lifecycle Manager which is a tool you would use to “promote” objects from one environment to another. This is knowledge that you can take back to your installation and apply immediately for troubleshooting and managing your environment. Shortly after the install class, attend the Oracle Essbase 11.1.1 for System Administrators. Hyperion Planning uses Essbase for data storage. This three-day class teaches the fundamental building blocks of an Essbase as well as techniques for managing data, optimizing performance, and managing the backup and restore process."
