Installing Oracle Essbase Client on client computers

To use the Oracle Essbase connector, you must also install Oracle Essbase Client on each computer that will run the connector.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have access to the appropriate Oracle Essbase Client installer and unzip any zipped files on your computer (for example, ClientInstallers-11122.zip).

For more information about the supported Oracle Essbase versions, see TIBCO Spotfire Connectors System Requirements.

Procedure

In the extracted archive, locate the EssbaseClient directory containing the installation program EssbaseClient.exe.
Double-click EssbaseClient.exe.
Select the appropriate language and continue.
In the installer pane, click Next.
Make a note of the destination directory; you need it for creating the appropriate environment variables. Click Next.
In the Custom Setup pane, ensure that both Essbase Client and Essbase Client C API are selected to be installed before you click Next.

Note: The Essbase Client C API is not selected by default. You must select it manually.
Click Install, and then click Finish when the installation is completed.

Note: In the Installed Programs list of the Control Panel, you can find a listing for Oracle® Hyperion Essbase Client. Use this entry if you must uninstall Oracle Essbase. Also, remember to remove the created environment variables that are listed in Creating environment variables.
