Configure service application associations

After the service application is created, we need to complete the last step of attaching the web application to the newly created service application. To do so, go back to "Application Management" in Central Administration. Under "Service Applications" click on "configure service application associations".



By default, the "default" connection will be selected. You can change it to "custom" and select all the service applications required for the web application including the custom, for example PerformancePoint service application. You can even set the custom service application as the default PerformancePoint service application. After selecting all the required service applications, click OK, and web application associations will be updated.
