Starting Essbase Administration Server

Essbase Administration Server runs in an agent window. The Essbase Administration Server agent window includes a log of server activities.

On Windows platforms, you can also start Essbase Administration Server as a Windows service. For more information, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.

To start Administration Services, first start Essbase Administration Server, then Administration Services Console.

  To start Essbase Administration Server:

  1. Locate the directory to which you installed Essbase Administration Server.

  2. From the directory, launch the appropriate executable for your platform:

    • Windows: EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/startEssbaseAdminServices.bat

    • UNIX: EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/startEssbaseAdminServices.sh

Note:

On Windows, if you chose to add shortcuts to the Start menu during installation, you can also start Essbase Administration Server by selecting Start, then Programs, then Oracle EPM System, then <EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE_NAME >, then Essbase, then Essbase Administration Services, then Start Administration Server. A text-mode Agent process or DOS window opens for Essbase Administration Server. When Essbase Administration Server starts properly, you see the following message: Server started successfully Waiting for client requests. If you do not see this message, Essbase Administration Server has not started properly.
