Error Creating HFM 9.3.1 Application

Question

I am having problem with workspace. Each time I tried to open an applicaation that is already registered in SharedServices, I receceived this error "Please make sure the application you are trying to lauch is registered with SharedServices. Also, I received this error "config.error.required credentials" while using Weblogic 9.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: My OS environment is Window 2000 Advanced Server and MSSQL 2000

In fact it would not be wise to get rid of Weblogic completely, especially if you have already paid for the licenses. Therefore, for resolving this case, as it is already apparent that this was the case here, one should use Apache Tomcat for deploying SharedServices and keep Weblogic for deploying other components like Reporting and Analysis.
Oracle-Hyperion ships Apache Tomcat for test and development purposes as it is suggested in the documentation. For production deployments, especially where a great many of users are to be using the system, WebLogic, WebSphere or Oracle Application Server is recommended. However, SharedServices is a system module that will never be accessed by that many users. For this reason the work around of using Tomcat for deploying SharedServices is valid.
One final remark on the use of Apatche Tomcat. In pre-Oracle releases, Hyperion products were recommended to be deployed on WebLogic or WebSphere. However, these products need additional licenses, and Hyperion shipped the "free" Apatche Tomcat, apparently without warranty as was implied by the recommendations. In 9.3.1 where Oracle Application Server was added (for free), it is included as an option for application deployment in all products but Shared Services, where the free option remains Apache Tomcat. It can be assumed that Oracle Application Server will be supported for the complete Hyperion product suite in the versions to follow.
