If this is being utilized in your implementation you should check in that “Shared Location” for the mod_wl_ohs.conf file instead.On a Microsoft Windows platform:C:OracleMiddlewareuser_projectsepmsystem<#>httpConfigohsconfigOHSohs_componentOn a LinuxUnix platform:/<your install location>/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem<#>/httpConfig/ohs/config/OHS/ohs_component
- Shutdown the Provider Services (APS) server service or process.
