Unable to launch Essbase Administration Services (EAS) console

Recently I came across an error with EAS console. Few of our users were not able to launch EAS console with their desktop PC.  I tested on my machine and everything was working as expected so I knew there is something wrong with their machine.


Issue  
EAS console JNLP files are unable to associate with Java Web Start on local machine.



SOLUTION
Most of the Java version comes with Java Web Start Launcher and automatically associates with JNLP files.  But in some case depending on your local PC setting; the JNLP files are unable to associated with Java Web Start (javaws.exe) and cannot launch console.  You need to associate to javaws.exe file with JNLP.
Go to control panel>All Control Panel Items>Default Programs.


 And select the file under Java directory



You should be able to launch EAS console now.
