Creating Essbase Server Connection

Before you can perform tasks from Oracle Essbase Administration Services Console, you must connect to an Oracle Essbase Server installation. Initially, the Functional Administrator 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.

You can install seven Essbase sample applications (ASOsamp, Demo, DMDemo, Sampeast, Sample, Sample_U, and Samppart). If installed, these applications are registered with Oracle Hyperion Shared Services, and are listed under the Application node.

Sample Essbase applications are owned by the Functional Administrator. They can be used to practice Essbase application provisioning.

To create an Essbase Server connection:

  1. Log in to Administration Services Console as a Functional Administrator. See Accessing Administration Services Console.
  2. Right-click Essbase Servers, and then select Add Essbase Server.
  3. Enter required information. Consult online help for assistance.
