Information on Essbase.sec!

Hello experts,

We lost security groups so that an application of 10 residing on this server. Restore file essbase.sec could restore security across all applications (Please correct me) which we do not want. How can we selectively recover to any given application base.

Also on the other hand how can we backup security for any given application

Thank you

Sonu

There are two different ways.
1 run the MaxL statement to get information about groups, users, groups, and group access
2 create a series of API calls to get the groups, users, groups and group access
3. download the displacement Advanced Security Manager from www.appliedolap.com and extract the Info

I actually wrote option 2, option 3 is a good thing that you don't have to do much work.

Do not forget that security for the groups spans applications. I assumed that enforcement was deleted and then recreated which would have deleted news groups (and individuals).

  • Restore the essbase.sec file to another server

    Hi all

    I have restored several databases of our development server to another server.
    But can I just copy file of security on this server?

    My concern is that they have a different number of app/db, will be the work of security file?
    If that does not work, how can I recover the security of a given database file?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Singlejoe,

    You will have problems if you do not correspond to the app/dbs on your target server.

    Assuming that your dev source server has several databases to the target, before copying, create a dummy apps/dbs on the target. Stop Essbase and save your Essbase.sec to be replaced. (Just-in-case copy to keep some security, filters, etc., you might have).

    If you have more / different apps/dbs on your target, I would like to archive them (text backup is complete, copy all relevant artifacts, etc.) and then delete. Then follow the above paragraph. The point is to make the app/db files exactly the same at Essbase.sec.

    Then copy on your Essbase.sec source to your target, remove the apps/dbs dummy and you should be good to go.

    Kind regards

    If the security file is damaged and you do not have a backup, you don't need to reinstall. You may lose all your however security information.
    First, rename the file essbase.sec
    Open a cmd window and type Essbase.exe you should have Essbase start first and ask us for more information. Enter the name of the Organization
    When asked to the user, put it in the admin id then the admin password. It should start to Essbase, but none of the applications will be acknowledged.
    Then start EAS and and click right ISO applications and select create application. A enter the names of applications that are located in the arborpath\Essbase\essbase\server\app folder.
    It should add applications.
    Recreate filters that you have and if you are running shared services try to synchronize users and groups.

  • Essbase filter backup/restore

    Hi all

    Apologize if this has already been answered, but had a question about the filters you want to better understand how to restore...

    We are on 11.1.2.1 and take a nightly export of LCM of all applications and objects. I observe that the individual filters are under 'Security' of all the applications folder. We also export Essbase.SEC in a readable using Maxl text file. I know that filter info is stored in the. S file, but if something goes wrong and say, Filter1 of App1 is corrupted, are we supposed to review the security-readable text file and re-create the filter via Maxl under the procedure to "restore"?

    What is the purpose of the filter object in the backup of LCM?

    Thank you!

    If you have a snippet of LCM of security filters, you should be able to import them, the usual problem with filters of LCM are they are not the best in their assignment, even if the user/group is correct in export, in any case, you have everything that you need to be able to restore and if it does not work Maxl is too.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Keep "simple" things, you have a 64-bit Windows, just install a client of Essbase 64-bit...

    Go to delivery under the "Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System" product packaging, download only the 'EPM system release 11.X.X.X.0 Client Installers' and there inside, you have the Essbase client (it's a bit silly that you need to download a file of 2 GB for just the small Essbase client, but this is the best place I found to always get a good record). Install it, then point the mailed earlier to the right path environment variable.

    I did and it worked by himself in all my Windows 64-bit.

    Use of the 32-bit clients on 64 bit OS what you always end with questions because of the default path pointing 64-bit slots and so things are missing or you have a mix of 64 and 32-bit.

    (I guess that's not important if you choose 11.1.2.4, 11.1.2.2 or 11.1.2.3, they work I would say, but if I'm not mistaken the Essbase installed by OBIEE is more 11.1.2.2...) For you, it isn't. (2.4)

  • Backup manual essbase during execution

    Hello

    For backup essbase and planning without stop, check the backup, recovery guide and our preliminary remarks.

    Guide: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40248_01/epm.1112/epm_backup/frameset.htm?ch04s01s02s04.html

    Trying to confirm which is best to backup folders essbase and export data.

    The idea is to disable all connections, then copy the folder Essbase. To export data, you can load the application and the database.

    Have two or three questions, mainly to confirm our measures.

    (1) to save the Essbase folder:

    change the database < app. DB_1 > unlock all objects;

    change the database < app. DB_2 > unlock all objects;

    change the app "< >" disable links;

    alter system disconnect session.

    change the application system of unloading "< app name >";

    opmnctl-process of stopproc type = EssbaseAgent

    Then copy:

    $ARBORPATH/app / $APP_name / $DB1 and $ APP_name/DB2 ARBORPATH/app/folders $$.

    copy essbase.sec < application name > - .app and essbase.cfg files.

    > > * Question1: is it save in folders of backup essbase as we did, or should we stop and stop Essbase applications and databases first?

    What about??

    Change < database > start archive file name.

    Then, copy the folders essbase.


    c l , we do not expect to use Start Archives and. 


    (2) then export essbase data:

    modify the application of the system < app > load ';

    change the database to load application "< app >" "DB";

    export < db > data file;

    (3) patterns of relational database backup

    (4) replace the applications and connections in read-write mode


    > > * 2 question: trying to determine the location of the reports to backup reports folder.  Is - this Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/ReportingAnalysis/data/RM1


    Thank you



    It of really your choice if you stop Essbase or not, if you want to copy the files that have a lock on them and then put the database using archive and copy, if you copy not files that have a lock on them then once more your choice if you read only, by operating an export is that the database is automatically set read-only mode.

  • Installation of multiple instances of Essbase on a single machine

    Dear gurus,

    I did the install vanilla of the costume of Hyperion (11.1.2.2) products on my machine (windows 2008 SP1, its a Virtual Machine) virtual machine (I installed Foundation, EAS and just Essbase)

    My first Essbase instance is running on default port 1423and I tried to configure the second instance of Essbase using port 1424 and all the donfiguration succeeded. I can see the 2nd service of essbase running at services.msc

    My 2nd instance is installed to: D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem2

    Now the problem is that I can add and connect 1st instance of Essbase (SERVERNAME:1423) using the administrator account in the environmental assessment.

    but when I try to add 2nd Instance of Essbase as SERVERNAME:1424 using the administrator account, it throws the following error:

    Do not copy the file s multiple instances.

    It seems that the 2nd day of the Essbase instance has not registered properly with Shared Services, you can try renaming the essbase.sec on the 2nd instance, erase the Essbase.log, resume Essbase, then check the Essbase.log to see if there are errors anyt'ing.

  • Essbase 11.1.1.3 Server was stopped just after the start

    Hi experts,

    I have an Essbase server runs for years, 11.1.1.3 version.

    The sharing of hyperion and EAS service has been installed on a server (let's say, the server) and Essbase was on another (say Server B).

    Normally, I start the service essbase directly by the registered windows service starts (after HSS and EAS all started a server A).

    Last night the server crashed for an unknown reason and I can't start service Essbase successfully, the symptom is:

    After that I started the 'Hyperion Essbase Service' of the windows service console, the status showed "started."

    but after a few seconds, the word "Started" disappeared (which means the service stopped) after that I pressed F5 to refresh.

    I checked ESSBASE.log but there is no paper relating to this topic, everything seems fine.

    Can someone provide suggestions? Thank you.

    If none of the Essbase associated newspapers have errors in them and the Essbase process breaks down, if there is absolutely no error then I would probably look to the restoration of the Essbase.sec to until the accident occurred.

    See you soon
