Is Oracle EPM Suite (Hyperion) version 11.1.2 supported on platform Microsoft Server 2008 R2?


Solution


Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 SP2 are the same operating system, just at a different service pack level (Windows Server 2008 started at the SP1 level because it was released quite a bit after Windows Vista and SP1 was already out).

Windows Server 2008 R2 is the server release of Windows 7 and introduces quite a lot of new features, (IIS 7.5 for example). It's a new release of the system.

This is a good place to start: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/whats-new.aspx.

There are also differences at the GUI level, because WS2008R2 uses the same new GUI introduced with Windows 7 (new taskbar, etc.).

Consequently, Window 2008 Server R2 is NOT a certified and supported platform for version 11.1.2. Backward compatibility of all applications could not be ensured.
