ENTERPRISE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Administration Services
Administration Services is the cross-platform framework for managing and maintaining Hyperion Essbase.
Administration Services provides a single point of access for viewing, managing, and maintaining Essbase Servers, Essbase Administration Servers, and Hyperion Provider Services.
Administration Services works with Essbase Servers in a three-tiered system that consists of a client user interface, a middle-tier server, and one or more database servers (Essbase Servers). The middle tier coordinates interactions and resources between the user interface and Essbase Servers. The three tiers may or may not be on the same computer or platform.
The three tiers include the following:

Administration Services works with Essbase Servers in a three-tiered system that consists of a client user interface, a middle-tier server, and one or more database servers (Essbase Servers). The middle tier coordinates interactions and resources between the user interface and Essbase Servers. The three tiers may or may not be on the same computer or platform.
The three tiers include the following:
- Client tier: Administration Services Console
This component is a Java client console that enables administrators to manage the Essbase environment from a robust graphical user interface - Middle tier: Essbase Administration Server
This component is a Java middle-tier server that communicates with both Administration Services Console and Essbase Servers. Essbase Administration Server maintains communication and session information for each connection to Essbase Servers. Essbase Administration Server also stores documentation files so that console users can access documentation without having to install it locally - Database tier: Essbase Server
One or more Essbase Servers store and process multidimensional database information. Essbase Servers are installed separately from Administration Services
