Symptoms

You have successfully installed OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.7.x) on Windows.

After configuring the WebLogic Administration Server (AdminServer) and OBIEE managed server (bi_server1) as Windows services following document How to Install Windows Services For OBIEE 11g AdminServer And Managed Server <Note 1214693.1>, the EAS (Essbase) web application is down and will not start.

You will see the following error in the bi_serverX managed server log (i.e. - bi_server1.log)
