Using the Embedded Connection Type

By default, Profitability and Cost Management uses APS mode to connect to Essbase, and APS uses many TCP ports while deploying the Essbase databases. This situation may cause a network error, which is displayed in the Profitability and Cost Management log file.

If this error occurs, switch the Connection Type to embedded mode and redeploy the database.

  To set the Connection Type to Embedded Mode:

  1. In Profitability and Cost Management, from Task Areas, select Manage Model, and then Model Summary.

  2. On the Model Summary screen, select the Model Level Preference tab.

  3. Under Essbase Information, from the Connection Type drop-down list, select Embedded.

  4. Click the Save icon.
