Restoring the Essbase Security File

If you attempt to start Essbase Server and cannot get a password prompt or your password is rejected, no backup files are created. You can restore essbase.sec from the latest, valid security backup file by copying essbase_timestamp.bak to essbase.sec. Both files are in the ARBORPATH/bin directory.

If you are using Essbase in EPM System security mode, you must also restore the latest backups from Shared Services and any external user directories that you are using.

For information on backup procedures for Shared Services and Essbase, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Backup and Recovery Guide and the documentation for the appropriate external user directories.

Caution!

Back up the Essbase security file and Shared Services simultaneously.
