You must create the required environment variables to access the
Essbase Client C API.
About this task
Important: The
environment variables must be exactly as specified, and they must point to the

Procedure
-
Open the
System Properties of your computer. (You can
search for "Environment Variables" in Windows to locate the System Properties.)
-
On the
Advanced tab, click
Environment Variables.
-
On client computers, under
System variables, click
New, and then create the variable
EPMHOME and set its value to the home path for
the Oracle Enterprise Management System (for example,
C:\oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1).
This home path contains the directories
bin,
bin-32,
common, and
products.

running
Spotfire Web Player

Spotfire Automation Services
services, the TERR service, or Spotfire Service for Python, the environment
variables must be defined as System variables.

Create the variable
ARBORPATH and set it to the destination folder
chosen in the installer (for example,
C:\oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient
(or
%EPMHOME%\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient)).
-
Create the variable
ESSBASEPATH and set it to
%ARBORPATH%.
-
Add the following to the
PATH
variable (or create the
PATH variable):
%ARBORPATH%\bin;%EPMHOME%\bin;
