Essbase server startup issue

Question

Hi All,
We are encountering a strange essbase server issue. We installed all products on Hyperion suite 11.1.2.2 on 64bit windows and successfully configured too(atleast as per message pane)
All services are up and running including Oracle Process Manager(Essbase.exe running in processes). But when we open EAS console and try to add Essbase server, it doesnt add but there is no error message as well. The window just stays and hangs.
2 things we tried:
1. Navigated to C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin and ran startessbase - it runs fine...message says..started successfully..opmn service started(we found essbase.exe in processes too) but still same issue from EAS console
2. We go to the path D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bin and then from cmd prompt...started "essbase" and then it works.,
So as 2 is working, we copied the path to "path" environment variables and created couple of them as well ESSBASEPATH and ARBORPATH., tried to again start services or run startessbase.cmd....but no use.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
Regards
Sri

Thanks All, appreciate your support.
I tried below
D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin>start opmnctl
Below is the result
D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin>opmnctl validate
opmnctl validate: succeeded.
Next I tried below
D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin>opmnctl startall
opmnctl startall: starting opmn and all managed processes...
D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin>
Then I tried to login MaxL. I am unable to login to MaxL
Once I give this command - MAXL> login admin 'password' on xx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
It goes to next line and stops at ""_
On the opmn log this is what I see...and in the essbase server .cfg file....it doesnt have netdelay and retrycount numbers...will that cause any issue?
