Resolving EPMAT-7: Session is Not Authenticated. Please Execute the Login Command Before Executing Any Other Command Error

EPM Automate may, intermittently during the execution of batch jobs, display the EPMAT-7:Session is not authenticated. Please execute the "login" command before executing any other command message.

The .prefs file is created in the working directory after the login routine is complete. EPM Automate uses this file while executing commands.

To correct this issue:

  • Ensure that your virus scanner is not deleting the .prefs file.
  • Check whether multiple simultaneous EPM Automate sessions are in progress from the same directory.

    To run multiple simultaneous sessions from the same directory, you must configure a unique numeric session identifier (EPM_SID). For more information, see Running Multiple Instances of EPM Automate in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Working with EPM Automate for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud.
