After you deploy an Essbase application, you can go directly from Essbase Studio to the Administration Services Console, where you can continue working with the application outline.
Once in Administration Services Console, access the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help from the Help menu or from the Help buttons within the console dialog boxes.
Note: | In order to launch Administration Services Console from Essbase Studio Console, the Administration Services Console must be installed on the same machine as Essbase Studio Console. If the consoles are installed on different machines, a message is displayed when attempting to launch Administration Services Console. |
Prerequisite to launching Administration Services Console from Essbase Studio Console for the first time, ensure that the parameters in the EASLaunch.properties file are properly configured. At a minimum, the EASHome parameter must be set. The EASLaunch.properties file is located in the Essbase Studio installation in the console\eas directory. See Configuring the Administration Services Console Launch File for instructions on setting the parameters in this file.
