Below are the recommended spec for installing Hyperion Data Relationship Management 9.3. However, alot of us won’t be running out to get several pieces of hardware to run this. And so, for my test install at home, I was able to put it all onto one server. My home server spec:

• Intel Quad Core Q6600 CPU
• 4Gb RAM
• 300Gb SATA Hard Drive
• Window Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1

In addition, I was putting it onto a VMWare virtual environment. I used VMWare Workstation 6 and set the virtual environment to consume up to 1.5Gb of RAM and 50Gb of disk space. That’s more than enough for a development server. And I am not loading Hyperion Shared Services to save memory and space. MDM can be installed as a standalone application and uses its internal security. Oh and if you intend to write to an Oracle Datawarehouse, you may also need to install the Oracle client…just a quick hint.

Hyperion Data Relationship Management Application Server

Processor: Dual 2.0+ GHz minimum
RAM: 4 GB minimum
Disk Space: 100 MB minimum
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP4, Windows Server 2003 SP1
Application Software: Oracle 9 or later or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later client drivers (DLLs)

If using a SQL Server database, the client software is not required as long as Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.7 or later is installed. If MDAC 2.7 is currently installed on the application server, the installation program automatically updates it to the latest version. If MDAC is not installed or if the installed version is older than 2.7, you must manually install MDAC.

Additional client software, such as Oracle SQL*Plus for Oracle, Query Analyzer for SQL Server, is optional. These provide tools to verify connectivity and can help with troubleshooting. ODBC can also be used to do troubleshooting.

You will also need to install:

● Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 or later
● Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

Database Server:

Processor: Dual 900 MHz minimum, Dual 2.0+ GHz preferred
RAM: 2 GB minimum
Disk Space: 10 GB minimum
Operating System: Determined by database platform
