Creating Essbase Server Connection

Before you can perform tasks from Administration Services Console, you must connect to an Essbase Server installation. Initially, admin is the only user who can create a server connection.

After you create an Essbase Server connection from the Administration Services Console, the Enterprise View displays a node that represents the Essbase Server connection. Nodes, such as Applications and Security, appear within the node that represents the Essbase Server connection.

By default, seven Essbase sample applications—ASOsamp, Demo, DMDemo, Sampeast, Sample, Sample_U, and Samppart—are registered with Shared Services. These applications are listed under the Application node.

Sample Essbase applications are owned by admin. They can be used to practice Essbase application provisioning. Essbase Server Administrators can manage sample applications from the Administration Services Console.

  To create an Essbase Server connection:

  1. Log in to Administration Services Console as admin. See Accessing Administration Services Console.

  2. Right-click Essbase Servers and select Add Essbase Server.

  3. Enter required information. Consult online help for assistance.
