Hi John,
Thanks for your reply.
I have windows server 2008R2. I had 11.1.2.0 installed & evenrything was working fine. I upgraded to 11.1.2.1 using maintanence release & essbase is not starting up. Everything else is working fine. I ran the validation report after
installing and everything came out green & passed except for Essbase.
No its not starting up by using <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\bin\startEssbase.bat
information from <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\user_projects\epmsystem1\diagnostics\logs\OPMN\opmn
