EPM 11.2.2 - APS Fails to Start Correctly

There is a bug in EPM 11.2.2 which causes the Analytic Provider Services web application to fail to start up correctly the second time it is launched. You won't be able to connect to Essbase using Smart View and you will see these errors in the APS log file:

<Error> <HTTP> <BEA-101216> <Servlet:"oracle.webservices.essbase.DatasourceService" failed to preload on startup in Web application: "/essbase-webservices".

weblogic.application.ModuleException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to deploy/initialize the application as given archive is missing required standard webservice deployment decriptor.

The fix can be found in Oracle Support Doc ID 2693784.1. You'll need to apply APS patch 11.1.2.4.040 to your EPM 11.2.2 install. This might seem strange to have to apply a patch from the previous version but remember that EPM 11.2.2 actually runs Essbase version 11.1.2.4 under the covers.

I can confirm that once you apply the patch, APS starts correctly. Everyone can go and have a nice cup of tea.

  1. Hi,
    Patch looks for jdk160_35. But 11.2.2 does not have jdk160 but has jdk180_181. So applying the patch using jdk181 will work?
