Quick Tip - Oracle Smart View disable for Outlook

Had an instance where one of the customers had installed the Oracle SmartView for accessing the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud. After the installation, the Microsoft Outlook didn’t get started and was staying in the screen starting for a quite long time.

This was quite annoying, but luckily there is an easy solution to the issue. There is life saver option given in SmartView under Options -> Advanced.

With this option, Smart view will be disabled in Outlook and will not hamper the time to load the Outlook. Hope this helps.

Installing Enterprise Performance Management 11.1.2.4

Have downloaded the needed as shown below for the installation of EPM 11.1.2.4 (I will be installing Essbase, Planning, R&A (FR),FDMEE & DRM) for the Windows 64 bit box.

Extracted the 6 zip files to a common location and calling the installer. Make sure its run as administrator.

Select the language as needed, here it will be English.

The Pre-requisite check is done by the installer and reports any issue if there are any.
