EPM 11.1.2.0 and Smartview 11.1.2.1

We currently use Office 2003 and 2007 with EPM 11.1.2.0. Our IT is going to be rolling Office 2010, we have been told that we need Smartview 11.1.2.1. We currently have no plans to upgrade EPM 11.1.2.1.
The question what is the best way to rollout Smartview 11.1.2.1 to my current users?
Can we update the link in workspace (Tools->Install->SmartView) to have the 11.1.2.1 instead of 11.1.2.0 ?
Would this change violate some software agreement?

Hi Experts,
We are currently using 11.1.2 EPM , I have downloaded the 11.1.2.1 Hyperion SmartView and installed the same to utilize the new features specially displaying the Member Names and Alias both Adhoc analysis , after upgrading to new version 11.1.2.1 I am able to see some changes in look and feel of the Smartview options but still there is no option for members display . Could you please let me know do we need to upgrate some other application also for using 11.1.2.1?
Thanks and Regards,
Sunil

Excel 2007 and Smartview 11.1 file open slow

We are in the process of upgrading to HFM system 11.1 and smartview 11.1.1.3 and as part of this process we are starting to use Excel 2007. I am encountering an interesting problem when opening files in Excel 2007 using smartview 11.1 and I am wondering if any one else has seen this problem and found a solution.
First I converted an excel 2003 file to excel 2007 and saved the file as an xlsx file type. Then I am able to open the file and it would take about 30 seconds to open the file. The file has about 15,000 formulas on for spreadsheets. If I click on each spreadsheet individually and use the "Refersh" button I can save the file in about 10 seconds and then close the file. When I open the file again it will open in 30 seconds. Now using the same file I click "Refresh All" and the file processes fine. I am able to save and close the file in about 10 seconds. However, when I try to open the file again it takes about 20 minutes to open, and then 20 minutes to close.
This only happens with two or three files. I have another file that is 40 spreadsheets and about 3,000 formulas that is not affected when I click Refresh or Refresh All.
Any help would be apperciated.

Hi
On metalink i found some notes about this issure
"Background
SmartView communicates over HTTP using .NET. This just means that requests and responses are sent in a standard XML format that is tucked in the HTTP headers. The mechanism is the same as when your internet browser requests a file or submits a form (simplification). A standard Microsoft component that is part of Internet Explorer is used for this.
There are three components (four if you include the network) in a SmartView refresh:
-the client
-the web server
-the HFM application server
It is easiest to troubleshoot when they are on separate machines. (Running SmartView on the server to see whether it works better is a useful test to see what effect the network is having, but doesn't show any other bottlenecks.) If you run Task Manager on these 3 machines showing the Performance tab, you will see initial activity on the client as Excel clears the cells and the request is converted into XML. Then you see the web server get busy as it receives and parses the request. Then the application server is busy as it send the data, then the web server is busy as it compiles the results into XML again, and finally the client parses the XML, pushes the data into cells and runs an Excel calculation. This last stage is the longest of all. Overall, it is typical to see the client doing 90-95% of the work, so client performance is a very important factor. Look out for Excel's memory usage increasing and RAM becoming in short supply. Often, user dissatisfaction with refresh times can be alleviated by giving them more RAM or a faster PC.
The situation we are dealing with here, however, is when the chain of events described above is interrupted. In this case, you will see the client or the web server wait in vain for a response from the next machine in the chain. The case of invalid XML is similar, but the response is truncated so that the XML is not well-formed when it arrives. XML consists of matching pairs of tags and is not well-formed when a closing tag is missing. This can be caused by certain network settings such as packet size (see later). The end result in either case is the same: as Excel cleared the cells before sending the request, cells are left blank or with zeroes.
Your job now is to work out why the particular component is failing.
Client
Check the HTTP time out in the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]\
"ReceiveTimeout"=dword:00dbba00
"KeepAliveTimeout"=dword:002BF20
"ServerInfoTimeout"=dword:002BF20
The time-out limit is five minutes for versions 4.0 and 4.01 and is 60 minutes for versions 5.x and 6. Also, the time-out limit is 30 seconds for Windows Internet Explorer 7. To change the settings, add the above keys. The above values are hexadecimal, not decimal and correspond to 18000 milliseconds (3 minutes) and 240 minutes for the receive time-out. See
- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827
- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050
Once you make those changes, my recommendation is that you reboot the client machine.
Web server
Look for errors in logs showing that the web app didn't respond/disconnected or timed out waiting for another application (i.e. the HFM application server). Eliminate load balancers etc. during testing in order to isolate the problem and to ensure that the user always goes to the same web server otherwise, logs can be hard to interpret. See also the IIS Tuning Guide for IIS settings. We cannot recommend particular settings, as each client must establish the optimal settings for their own environment after performance testing. If necessary, engage the services of a suitably qualified consultant.
Application Server
HFM application server performance is very dependent on whether the data is already in RAM or not. One symptom, where the first refresh fails but the second one succeeds, is probably a sign that the cache needed to be populated and once that had been done (by the first refresh) it went faster. HFM loads whole subcubes (Scenario, Year, Value and Entity) into cache, so asking for lots of accounts in the same subcube is fast, but asking for lots of entities will inevitably slow things down as it runs out of RAM and starts unloading subcubes to make room for more. The HFM event log (HsvEventLog.log) shows this happening, but don't forget that the messages you see are a normal consequence of the way HFM works and are not a problem unless you see a hugely elevated number of them during the period the refresh occurs. Another sign would be page file thrashing.
If there are several servers in a cluster, use sticky sessions in HFM to make sure tests always go the same server, or hit one server directly rather than using the cluster.
Solutions here involve giving more RAM to the server (probably not possible because of the 2 GB limit) and changing the worksheet design to restrict the number of subcubes accessed. A separate consolidation server, so that reads are not competing with intensive consolidations and calculations, would be a good thing.
Network
To find out if packets get fragmented, use
ping -l size -f
to send a big packet with the 'don't fragment' flag. E.g.
Ping -l 1024 -f oracle.com
If you see a reply like Reply from 141.146.8.66: bytes=1024 time=200ms TTL=245 then the size you specified is below the packet limit of the network. But if you use, for example, 2000 in place of 1024, you get Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set, then you know you have exceeded the limit. Combine this investigation with a Fiddler trace (https://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) to see what size data messages are being sent and received.
Troubleshooting Guidance
If you seriously want to go into this in more detail, then it will take a considerable effort on your and your IT Department's part. My general advice would be:
1. During this process, fix your environment so that it is predictable. Register a single HFM application server and connect to that. Use a single web server and don't go through Apache or any other redirector. Make sure we know which machine to go to for logs. This would be a temporary measure and it doesn't stop the other users using the full, load balanced system so long as it doesn't involve your server.
2. As far as possible keep other users from using it during testing, unless you are specifically testing for performance under load. We want to see what activity is due to SmartView and not random other jobs.
3. Use PerfMon on all three machines: client, web server and application server.
4. Clear Logs before testing and note the times of each test so the logs can be correlated.
5. Log CPU activity, memory usage, network throughput, page faults, thread count etc. I'm no expert on this so get advice from someone who is.
6. In addition to the performance logs, from the IIS Server get:
* HTTP.SYS Error Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR (Default location; configurable)
* IIS Website Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC# (Default location; configurable)
* Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
7. From HFM Application server get:
* HsvEventLog.log (in <HFM install>\Server working Folder)
* Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
8. Be aware of all timeout settings in your environment (i.e. IIS & the network) and time your tests. This can show whether it is an ASP timeout, script timeout, client side timeout or whatever. Note that the Web Session Timeout setting for SmartView in HFM's Server and Web Configuration is a separate issue from IIS timeouts. Web Session Timeout controls the length of idle time before SmartView makes the user log in again. Default 20 mins.
9. Run Fiddler traces to directly observe the XML and check for HTTP failures.

Excel Addin and SmartView disappear from excel

Hi There,
We use Excel 2007, Excel Addin and SmartView have been working fine, but it "disappear" from the ribbon or menu all of sudden, I check Excel Addin, it shows Essexcln and Oracle Hyperoin SmartView for office under "Active Application Add-ins".
Any advice?
Thanks

I had the same issue once. It turned out that some SAP query addins did not get along with essbase add-in and bullied it out of the playgroud. You might want to check on that.

Hyperion Planning and Smartview : Build function HS Description

Dear all,
I am currently using Hyperion planning 11.1.2.2, I would like to display in excel adhoc reports the description of some dimension members via smartview.
To this end I used the "build function" functionality:
I selected an empty cell and call the functionality, a window appears with two parameters :
1-connection : this field is automatically filed (WSFN|HP|pc|Planning|Plan1)
2-Member List : I would like to fil it manually ex : "Account#100"
I click on validate : the following message appears : Selected connection does not support this function.select new connection.
I would like to know what is meant by connection? what is the syntax of the connection string? could you please provide an example?
Thank you
Best regards.
Toufik

Hsdescription is not supported by Planning connection.
You can use that with Essbase connection.
Read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/sv_user/ch17s01s08s15.html
It talks about what are shared and private connections.

Business Rules not visible sometimes-via web and smartview

We use EPM 11.1.2.
we have a unique problem-Business rules (associated with forms)sometimes fail to appear either via web or smartview for our users.After logging out and back in,sometimes they appear again.
If we explicitly 'disconnect all' from smartview, close Excel, and go back in again, then the rules are visible.
It is becoming hard to tell when the users can or cannot see the business rules.
All users have the right provisioning-interactive user.
Has anybody seen this kind of behavior before?
We had a similar issue a while back-with eas web versus eas desktop client. Oracle gave us a specific fix for the eas business rules problem.
Edited by: 784749 on Sep 26, 2011 11:59 AM

Thats the strange thing; We use (native) groups to provision. This works fine for the other 5 users.
But even if I provision this one user for the Business Rules, they remain invisible to this user. (in Planning)
I discovered this morning that this user can create a new BR, but when I try to open it in AAS console I get an error
"Exception occured, Please check your log file for details."
Unfortunately, the log doesn't provide any more details. (even if I set the level to Debug)

Hyperion Planning Load via Webform and Smartview

Good Afternoon All,
Some user are having difficulty with a cube in my organisation, And I'm able to replicate the issue. Basically, When I load data via Webform or Smartview. On retrieval this same data appears all over the place. Please see example below
For example, the data for line 304045ba was loaded as
"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"
304045ba 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
But it spreads out to the lines below it as shown below.
Result:
"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"

I'm not sure whats causing this, Any help or input would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I think it is to do with folder structure.
We had this
Folder1 -> Folder2 -> Folder3
If you apply security to Folder1 and data forms are in Folder 3, it just won't work in smartview. But if there is only one generation in-between, then it is fine. I applied security to Folder2 and refreshed. It worked like magic!

Planning and SmartView query

If we import forms from Planning application on SmartView, can we do ad-hoc analyses on it?
I imported Planning formas an alternative to F.Reporting failure but am unable to do member selections on the imported form, etc. Is there a work around for this?
ALSO,
When I build SmartView reports, it gives me No Data whereas data does exist as it shows up on the forms. Where is the problem here? Is there a data mismatch somewhere? There is data on the forms in Planning but it shows no data on the report. I did refresh it but it still shows No Data (#Missing).
How do I get the data to show up on SmartView connected with Planning?

Thanks Amol. Appreciate it.
By the way, do you think you could help me with the question that I posted on another thread - data forms available but not showing on Financial Reporting?
This is a tricky one and I have been real busy with it

Difference between EPM Add-in for Excel and BPC 10.0?

Hi Forum,
I'm currently researching an upgrade to version 10.0. We're currently running BPC 7.0 for MS. I'm confused at the moment, because I'm not sure if/what the difference is between the EPM Add-In and BPC 10.0. Can someone answer this?
I'm also not understanding the future roadmap for BPC 10.0 and beyond. It appears to me that an attempt to merge Business Objects functionality and BPC functionality into one product/suite of products is what is happening, but I could be wrong about that too. Can someone expand on this as well?
Thanks,
Mike

The EPM10 Client (aka add-in) is the unified Excel interface for a subset of EPM products (Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidations, Strategy Management and BPC). Clients did not like having different report writing paradigms in all of these applications, so the EPM10 Client was developed utilizing a technology called Extended Analytics Analyzer mashed with some of the BPC reporting functionality from BPC7.x to provide one stop shopping for accessing data in EPM applications. Additionally, the EPM10 Client can be used in many cases to report directly against native BW cubes or any other source that supports an ODBO connection.
BPC10 is the planning and consolidations application with the code engine to support the application functionality. If you purchase/upgrade to BPC10, the EPM10 Client is made available as an additional download to complete the package. In BPC10, the EPM10 Client is used both for reporting as well as for write back to the database for end users.
A new roadmap with BPC10 and beyond is just being finalized. Look for announcements around this in the next few weeks.

EPM on solaris very slow and stops responding

Hi,
We installed EPM 11.1.2.2 using a single Managed server (EPMServer0) on Solaris with 32Gig memory and use the start.sh script to start all components.
The applications runs fine initially but after second day it starts to slow down and then hangs. Even couldn't login after that. So we restart EPM and things back to acceptable performance.
We did install OHS on top WebLogic, with EssBase, Planning, Reporting and Analysis, etc.
In Solaris we notice the memory using by EPM grows to around 6Gig.
Didn't modify an weblogic heap size. Noticed when issue ps -ef two java processes:
/u01/oracle/Middleware/jdk160_29/bin/sparcv9/java -server -Xms256m -Xmx512m
/u01/oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/../jdk160_29/bin/java -Xms128m -Xmx768m
Tried to trace how start.sh starts the processes and it might using the following script to set the java options:
./user_projects/epmsystem1/bin/deploymentScripts/setCustomParamsEPMServer.sh
This has -Xms128m -Xmx8160m -d64 -XX:PermSize=64m (and many others)
Sure there are also setDomainEnv.sh and commEnv.sh but I don't see they are used with the start.sh script.
Appreciate suggestions on how to resolve this critical performance issue.
Thanks

Thank you. Everything is back to speed, except for backing up a catalog to a DVD. That's still extremely slow and then it stops. It also doesn't let me sign in even with a new password. Could Elements be corrupted? If it is can I uninstall it and reinstall it, and if I do will I lose the photos in my catalogs?
Another thought. Since everything else seems to be OK, could the problem be with my disc drive?

Hyperion Planning and Smartview Free form

Hi All,
I am currently using Hyperion planning 11.1.2.2, after a successful application creation, data load via EAS, Reports/Forms are working perfectly in smartview.
Now I would like to go beyond Adhoc Analysis, I would like to know if it is possible to use Free Forms with Planning?
when I try to create a free form with this connection profile" http://server:19000/HyperionPlanning/SmartView" it doesn't work. I cannot add label columns outside the borders of the form/Reports (blue cells).
I checked on the web and it seems that free form is only possible with essbase aps ?
please help.
Regards.

Hi Toufik,
Are the lines you want to add just labels for your own use? You should be able to open a form in Ad-Hoc analysis, then add a new row (using standard excel functionality) and add a label in this line. You can still change dimension members using the drill functionality and by over-typing Dimension member cells and refresh the sheet with your label in place.
I've just tested this on 11.1.2.2 as I was doubting myself and it definitley works connecting to Planning. Is the above what you're trying to achieve?
Regards
Ed

Maximum Rows / Columsn in Essbase Addin and Smartview

I have found reference to the following solution in the OTN fomum but I am unable to find any documentation on the settings from Oracle. Can someone point me to it.
service.olap.dataQuery.grid.maxColumns=0
service.olap.dataQuery.grid.maxRows=0
Thanks Tom

Two notes:
1) As John pointed out, the max row/column settings are for SmartView only. The classic add-in's limits are 256 columns and 65,535 rows. That's it.
2) EAS can sometimes (it's really weird) be used to set the rows and columns. Right now, I'm looking at EAS (this is an 11.1.2.0 installation) and there is a Maximum number of rows setting, but no columns. Odd.
See this thread for more explanation, and the really big bug (okay, annoying bug) that you can perpetrate through Excel/SmartView.

Hello, I had actually not resolved my issue. I was using a Hardware Load Balancer and pointing all apps in HYSL-Weblogic.conf to the HA VIP. If you put all servernames for the WebLogicCluster stanzas as WL_SERVER:WL_PORT,WL_SERVER2:_WLPORT2 format it should fix your issue. Fingers crossed that mine is resolved.

Smartview Addin upgrade and APS

We are on EPM 11.1.2.600 and APS version is 11.1.2.102 as is the Smartview addin. Business is looking at the feature set in later releases of the Smartview addin, specifically Smart Query and some of the VBA extensions of later versions.
We are currently an old Essbase addin shop, with plans to go to Smartview in the near future, so I am not as 'up to speed' on Smartview. My question is if we upgrade to the latest and greatest version of Smartview do I need to upgrade the APS server also? I downloaded 11.1.2.5.x and was able to connect to Essbase and planning without issues but I want to make sure all features/functionality is available. Thanks.

May I know which is your APS server , its recommended to use Web logic for latest version . May be there can be in compatibility if its web sphere !!

Deploy to single managed server checked and greyed out while performing upgrade to EPM 11.1.2.4

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to upgrade EPM from 11.1.2.2 to EPM 11.1.2.4 and have applied the maintenance release successfully.
Issue:
When we are trying to configure EPM 11.1.2.4 and are providing the same Shared Service database details, at the summary screen, we are not able to uncheck the option "Deploy to Single Managed server" which is checked and is greyed out.
We have tried the following:
1. We updated the HSS_COMPONENT_PROPERTY_VALUE table and updated the PROPERTY_NAME "isCompact" to false.
2. Modified the config.xml file located at EPMSystem/config and epmsystem1/config to remove the property for compactState.
We are still having the issue where we are not able to uncheck the option for Compact Deployment. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

As it is a maintenance release and it deployed as a single managed server then you will not be able to change the deployment type when applying the maintenance release.
There is a procedure to change a deployment type from compact to single managed server that I created as an internal document.
you may want to give it a go but you would need to test this first as this was an in house test that I carried out.
Hyperion Planning - Version 11.1.2.2.300 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
The scenario:
EPM system 11.1.2.3 was configured and deployed as a single managed server compact deployment so that only one JVM was used for all products EPMServer0.
Later on, due to performance issues, the decision was made to go for using a JVM for each product and get rid of the compact deployment.
The administrator went ahead and redeployed the application servers individually into their own JVM.
However everytime the webserver is reconfigured, the weblogicCluster entry in the OHS file mod_wl_ohs has 2 servers, one for EPMSserver running on port 9000 and another server running on the product default port (as if it was being load balanced)
The aim:
It is clear that initial compact deployment has not been cleared from the EPM environment and the aim in this exercise is to clear the registry and the file system so that the compact deployment is removed fromthe EPMenvironment and we are left with the desired configuration Single JVM deployment for earch web application.
Solution
Caution:
Make sure that you take a backup of the following:
- TheFoundation Services database schema backup
- Take a backup of the following folders:
\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\FOUNDATION1\httpConfig\ohs\config\OHS\ohs_component
\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\servers
\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\config\fmwconfig\servers
Disclaimer:
This was tested in House and it worked for this specific environment and it may not work for your environment. So the suggestion is to test first in a development environment and make sure that you take the appropriate backups in case it does not go according to plan.
Use at your own discretion.
Procedure:
1- Run the epmsys_registry to generate the Registry report
2- Search through the report for the word applicationServerDeployment with a corresponding value of configured and take the ObjectID number down for any entry of applicationServerDeployment that has a value of Configured
i.e:
Instance Tasks Configuration (INSTANCE_TASKS_CONFIGURATION)
Object ID:   e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7adf
3- use the object ID of each entry you have taken down throughout the Registry HTML Report to manually set it back to Pending using the following procedure:
                Start a command prompt and set the working directory to
                 \Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin
                run the command:
                 epmsys_registry.bat updateproperty #e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7adf/@applicationServerDeployment=Pending
                Repeat this command for each ObjectID that has its applicationServerDeployment
                 property set to Configured
4- rerun the epmsys_registry.bat to generate the Registry HTML report and search for applicationServerDeployment in the newly generated report to make sure that they are all set to Pending and there none missed (very Important).
5- Search the registry HTML report this time for EPMServer0 which is the default serverName given to the single managed server deployment (there will be multiple entries)
Take note of the first ObjectID entry in the section header: for example
WORKSPACE_WEBAPP (WORKSPACE_WEBAPP)
Object ID:   e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd3
- Start a command prompt and set the working directory to
                 \Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin
- run the command:
                 epmsys_registry.bat view #e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd3
-Note the Parents ID in the output:
For example:
Parent 1
NAME - WORKSPACE_LWA
ID - e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd0
TYPE - LOGICAL_WEB_APP
Parent 2
NAME - HOST:BACHVMPS3TR
ID - e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7ffe
TYPE - HOST
- Note the single child ID:
For Example:
Child 1
NAME - WebLogic 10
ID - e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7fd6
TYPE - APP_SERVER
Now run the following command to remove the Link between Parent and child:
epmsys_registry removelink #parentObjectID #childObjectID
In this example that would translate to:
To remove the single child1 link to the WORKSPACE_WEBAPP (#e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd3 ):
epmsys_registry removelink #e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd3 #e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7fd6
And do the following To remove the link between WORKSPACE_WEBAPP (#e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd3 ) and Parent1 and Parent2:
epmsys_registry removelink #e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd0
#e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd3
epmsys_registry removelink #e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7ffe
#e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd3
- Now that the link has been removed, delete the WORKSPACE_WEBAPP component using its ObjectID :
epmsys_registry deletecomponent #parentObjectID
In this example:
epmsys_registry deletecomponent #e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd3
- Delete also the Parent representing the WORKSPACE_LWA
epmsys_registry deletecomponent #e4b3a86a82c26941S32ef81a1455fe48473S7bd0
Note:So we have now deleted the WEBAPP and LWA for workspace.
6- Repeat steps in section No 5 for every WEBAPP with EPMServer0
7- Start the Weblogic admin console and login
Then go to the left panel and Expand Environment -> Server
Click on Lock & Edit -> Select EPMServer0 -> click on Delete and confirm
Activate Changes and Log off
8- Stop the weblogic admin console server
9- Go to the following location and delete the folder EPMServer0:
\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\servers
Delete also EPMServer0 from the following location:
\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\config\fmwconfig\servers
10- Start a command prompt and delete the Windows service that was created for EPMServer0 (if using Microsoft Windows Operating System):
Right click on the service 'OracleHyperion EPM Server - Java Web Application (epmssystem1)' and get its service name i.e: HyS9EPMServer_FOUNDATION1
Run the following command: sc delete HyS9EPMServer_FOUNDATION1
11- Launch the EPMSystem configurator and redeploy the web application server to their own JVM
12- Go to the following location \Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\FOUNDATION1\httpConfig\ohs\config\OHS\ohs_component and rename the file mod_wl_ohs.conf to mod_wl_ohs.conf.old.
13- Copy the unconfigured mod_wl_ohs.conf file from the location C:\Oracle\Middleware\ohs\ohs\conf to the location \Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\FOUNDATION1\httpConfig\ohs\config\OHS\ohs_component
14- Run the EPM System Configurator again and configure the WebServer to reconfigure the OHS configuration file mod_wl_ohs.conf.
Once done then open the mod_wl_ohs.conf file and make sure that there are no servers configured with Port 9000.
15- Start the services and test the workspace
