Additional Information

Please check BI or EPM certification Matrix for details.

11.1.2.3.500+ (PSU with Exalytics specific enhancements. Requires pre-existing
11.1.2.3.00x Essbase installed by EPM)

Exalytics model exception: Endeca is not certified on Exalytics T5-8.

Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 deploys Oracle Data Integrator Agent and Console into the same
Weblogic domain as OBIA, therefore installation of these components on Exalytics is supported for
OBIA use case.

ODI agent and console can be installed on Exalytics (OBIA use case)
DAC must be installed on the same server as the Informatica server (OBIA 7.9.6.4 use case only)
(outside exalytics)
Golden Gate must be installed outside of Exalytics.

Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1 customer can rehost Essbase(upgraded to 11.1.2.2.) on Exalytics.

Please refer to the white paper "REHOSTING ESSBASE ON EXALYTICS FOR USE WITH
PLANNING RELEASE 11.1.2.1". The white paper is posted on:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/rehost-essbase-exalytics-111211974055.pdf
