Oracle DRM Blog

Having been writing for a little while and that’s because handling a new born takes up alot of time but hopefully in the near future this blog can be expanded to cover more diverse topics. We’ll see. Got an interesting email from S.Varshne below and we’re going to try to answer it. I do take [...]

Data Relationship Management currently allows objects (e.g. DRM property name, Exports, Property Queries, etc.) to be created using special characters. Please be aware some of these characters can cause issues when using the system. Here’s some examples:

VMWare is a great technology where your one single PC can be virtualize into many, or run multiple OS, and a mix and match of these.

Trying to install the Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management Web Publisher (what a mouth full) today, and gosh, this definitely wasn’t the most straight forward install in the DRM suite. One of the step in the process requires setting up the MS IIS anonymous user and then defining this user to be able to access [...]

If you’re installing the latest version of Oracle Hyperion DRM, you’ll note a couple of additions in the installation package. One of the package is the new ASP 2.0 and this is usually installed automatically when you’re installing the server. Now when you finished, you may hit an error trying to login (i.e. you can’t [...]
