Reporting and Analysis Framework services, when launched using Windows Services, try for two minutes to launch; however, Reporting and Analysis Framework services depend on other Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System components for normal startup in this order:
Database
Shared Services
Because of this order dependency, and because Windows imposes a two-minute maximum time limit for service startup, if your repository database runs on the same computer as Reporting and Analysis Framework services, you may not want to validate service startup to avoid a system shut-down.
If Reporting and Analysis Framework services do not start, check stdout_console_<module_name>.log in diagnostics\logs\ReportingAnalysis for information to help identify which dependent object is not available.
