Purpose
This document includes important, late-breaking information about this release of Oracles
Essbase Administration Services, formerly known as Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic
Administration Services. Review this information thoroughly before installing Administration
Services.

Administration Services is the administration tool for managing and maintaining Oracle's
Hyperion Essbase System 9. Administration Services consists of a client console
(Administration Services Console) and a middle tier application server (Administration Server)
that communicates directly with Essbase Servers and facilitates functionality such as
background processing. Administration Services Console provides a single point of access for
viewing, managing, and maintaining the Essbase environment. For more information, see the
Administration Services Online Help.

problems. However, the issues listed in this section remain at the time of release.

Using Hyperion Configuration Utility to re-deploy an existing web application to WebLogic

8.1.x does not work properly. A workaround is to first un-deploy the web application using
the application server admin console, and then use Hyperion Configuration Utility to deploy
the web application fresh.
When managing Shared Services models and naming applications, you cannot use the
forward slash (/), backslash (\), or double quotation () characters. All other alphanumeric
and special characters can be used in application names. (8-514151218)
