Editing an Essbase Server for Reporting Applications

You can use the Edit Essbase Server dialog box to change logon credentials and connectivity details such as server name and port numbers. For the default Essbase server, you can make updates in the Manage Data Source dialog box for the application’s associated data source.

Note:

If you use the EPM System Configurator to change the Essbase server, you must update the server name within Planning.

Tip:

Using the Planning Upgrade Wizard, you can update Essbase server information for multiple reporting applications (see Updating References to Reporting Essbase Servers).

  To edit an Essbase server displayed for reporting application databases, on the Edit Essbase Server dialog box:

  1. In Essbase Server, select the server from the list of available servers.

  2. In Server Name, type the server name.

  3. In User Name, type your user name.

  4. In Password, type your password.

  5. Optional: To test the connection to the Essbase server, click Validate Connection.

  6. Click OK.
