Goal
Are there any recommendations with regards to antivirus settings for the EPM System?

Solution
The scanning executed by anti-virus software can be a source of performance issues with EPM System products. Each time a user accesses any resource on the server, anti-virus software will try to open the object and scan it. Typically when files are updated or accessed, anti-virus software will lock the object to scan the file.

The recommendation is for the HYPERION_HOME or MIDDLEWARE_HOME directories to be excluded from anti-virus software scans and only scanned on a scheduled basis while the EPM products are shutdown.

This information is documented in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance
Management System Tips and Tricks from EPM System Infrastructure Development: Issues 1-72 which is accessible online:
