  To start Essbase Studio Server in the foreground on UNIX:

  1. In the Essbase Studio server.properties file, set the server.runInBackground property to “false” or comment it out.

    This property is set to “true” by default.

    The server.properties file is located in Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/BPMS/bpms1/bin/server.properties.

    Note:

    See server.runInBackground for information on this property.

  2. Set these variables as shown in the environment where you will be running startServer.sh:

    EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE=/<install path>/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1

EPM_ORACLE_HOME=/<install path>/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1

JAVA_HOME="${EPM_ORACLE_HOME}/../jdk160_11/jre"

JAVA_OPTIONS="-DESSBASE_STUDIO_INSTANCE=${EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE}/BPMS/bpms1 -DsuppressAPSProductInfo=true"

  3. Edit the Essbase Studio startServer.sh shell as follows.

    The startServer.sh file is located in $EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/Essbase/EssbaseStudio/Server/startServer.sh.

    1. Locate the last line of the file: 

      nohup "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java" -Xms128m -Xmx768m $JAVA_OPTIONS
  –jar "${EPM_ORACLE_HOME}/products/Essbase/EssbaseStudio/
  Server/server.jar" >/dev/null &

    2. Remove “nohup” from the beginning of the line, the STDOUT to null direction (>/dev/null), and the background processing command (&) from the line; for example:

      "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java" -Xms128m -Xmx768m $JAVA_OPTIONS -jar "${EPM_ORACLE_HOME}
  /products/Essbase/EssbaseStudio/Server/server.jar"

  4. Start Essbase Studio Server by running the following statement: 

    ./startServer.sh
