Creating Classic Essbase Applications

Each Oracle Essbase server can support multiple applications, each with its own database. The Essbase application that you create is automatically registered with Oracle Hyperion Shared Services. Essbase Server users must be provisioned separately to each application and its artifacts. See the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help or Oracle Essbase Technical Reference for detailed information.

To create Essbase applications and artifacts:

1. Log in to Oracle Essbase Administration Services Console as a Functional Administrator.

   Note:

   Users provisioned with Essbase Server Administrator or Create/Delete Application role also can create Essbase applications. These users do not require a Shared Services role (for example, Essbase Application Creator) to create Essbase applications from Administration Services Console.

2. Create an Essbase application.

   Note:

   Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System automatically assigns Provisioning Manager and Application Manager roles to the user who creates the Essbase application.
