EPM Oracle Home: Product files and its required tools is created within th EPM Oracle Home. The default Middleware_Home is EPMSystem11R1. For example if our middleware home is E:\Oracle\Middleware then EPM Oracle Home is E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1

EPM Oracle Instance: In EPM Oracle Instance, there can be Oracle HTTP Server, Essbase Server, SOA server, Web Server and etc... The default location would be in this case is E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem . In a distributed environment, we should name all the Middleware Homes as the same.
