EPM 11.2.x - Where did my Oracle Wallet Manager Go?

Recently I had to install EPM 11.2.x for a customer using MS SQL Server as their relational repository. The EPM installer package comes bundled with the option to install the Oracle Client. This customer didn't need the client so there was no need to add the Oracle clients to the installed options.

Big Mistake!

The Oracle Wallet Manager is used to create SSL certificate requests and to import new certificates for Oracle HTTP Server. In previous versions of EPM, the EPM stack would also install the Oracle Wallet Manager for you by default.  This is no longer the case in EPM 11.2.x, the Wallet Manager only gets installed if you install the Oracle Client:



Lesson: always install the Oracle Client as part of the EPM stack, even if you don't need it!

Fortunately the Oracle client installer can be found in the unzipped EPM installation extracts: <Extract Location>\db64\Disk1

Run the setup.exe and your Oracle Wallet Manager will appear by magic. Happy SSLing!

  1. Hello, thank you for your post. I need to configure SSL on my EPM 11.2.2 installation and did the Oracle Client setup like you suggested. But I'm not able to start the Wallet Manager (under Win 2016 Server), although I see the icon like you posted. Nothing happens when I try to start it. Greetings, Bernd

  2. Hi, Why do you need to install the Oracle Client? you can create / import and do all stuff in DOS prompt. easy.

    I must say, i liked the UI, but once you know what to do .. it is simple.
