Issues with Analytic Provider Services (APS) Connection Type

Analytic Provider Services Installation Requirement

In distributed systems, (where Oracle Essbase is installed on a different server than Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management), Oracle Hyperion Provider Services must also be installed and configured on the Profitability and Cost Management server.

Increasing the Default WebLogic Timeout Settings to Support APS Essbase Connection Type

Oracle recommends using the "Embedded" Essbase Connection Type when possible. If you must use APS mode, you may need to increase the default WebLogic timeout settings. Follow the steps provided in "Specifying Session Timeout" section of the Oracle Hyperion Provider Services Administration Guide.

Changing the Connection Type to Embedded Mode

If you receive a network error when using the APS Connection Type, switch the Connection Type to embedded mode, and redeploy the cube.

To set the Connection Type to embedded mode:

1. In Profitability and Cost Management, from Task Areas, select Manage Model, and then Model Summary.

2. On the Model Summary screen, select the Model Level Preference tab.

3. Under Essbase Connection Information, select Embedded from the Connection Type drop-down list.

4. Click the Save icon.
