Oracle hyperion Performance Tuning: Changing the Heap Size in Windows

To change the heap size of a managed server:

For Windows machines, use Windows Registry Editor to change the heap size of the Windows service:

On the machine hosting the product whose managed server you want to modify, open Windows Registry Editor: Select Start and then Run, enter regedit, and then click OK.

In Registry Editor, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, then Hyperion Solutions, then ManagedServerName, and then WindowsServiceName_InstanceName.

For example, if you deployed a single managed server, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, then Hyperion Solutions, then EPMServer0, and then HyS9EPMServer_InstanceName.

If you scaled out a single managed server, on the scaleout machine, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, then Hyperion Solutions, then EPMServer1, and then HyS9EPMServer_InstanceName.

For example, if you deployed Oracle Hyperion Planning, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, then Hyperion Solutions, then Planning0, and then HyS9Planning_InstanceName.

Right-click JVMOptionX (where X is 1, 2, ...) whose value starts with -Xmx, and then select Modify. In Value data, change the value to a value appropriate for your environment.
-XmxValuem

For example, to set the heap size to 8 GB, enter the following:
-Xmx8192m

Start EPM System by selecting Start, then All Programs, then Oracle EPM System, then Foundation Services, and then Start EPM System.

Complete these steps for each managed server on each machine in the deployment.

 Working 11.1.2.x FDM Application Database
 Database details of the FDM application Schema
 Working FDMEE 11.1.2.4 Environment
 Downloaded FDM-FDMEE Migration Utility
 Database details of FDMEE Schema
 ODI studio Installed & Configured

Steps Involved in Migration
 Run the Prerequisite SQL Scripts in FDMEE & FDM Database
 Configure FDM Data source on ODI
 Import the Scenarios to ODI Designer
 Execute the Scenario from ODI
 Challenges in Migration

Hyperion configuration question: Same weblogic doamin server for Windows and Linux??

One of my friend asked me, question about why we can't use same weblogic domain between Windows and Linux servers in case setting up Hyperion in distribution environment.

Well, i will ask the same question in this way, If we have Hyperion distribution environment setup with set of servers Windows and Linux. Installed Hyperion components in Windows and Linux server, while try ing to configure Did you face any issues while deploying web applications to weblogic? Did you deployed to same domain all web applications from windows and Linux?

Or Simply If you have Hyperion distribution environment setup with Windows and Linux servers, how many Admin servers will you have??

Generally, Whenever we install and configure Foundation components along with foundation, Weblogic will also get deployed. So, generally we will say weblogic will installed along with Foundation. So Admin server will be in Foundation server. But in case of distribution environment, you foundation in windows and Planning, Essbase in Linux, you same weblogic won't work for windows and Linux. Because Weblogic won't accept accessing between 2 different platforms.
It will error out, while doing configuration with Foundation windows server weblogic domain details.
So, either we need create new domain or use existing domain of same platform.

Thanks to Naresh Addala, Lova Ramisetti for helping in this post.
