Exporting the Essbase Security File to a Readable Format

An Essbase Administrator can export the contents of the essbase.sec file for an Essbase Server instance to a readable text file format, which is useful for review purposes.

Caution!

When exporting essbase.sec, follow your company’s security procedures to ensure the integrity of the data.

The export security file command, which can be run from Administration Services Console or as a MaxL statement, is run against the Essbase Server session for which you are currently logged in. The Essbase Server session can be run as a service.

  To export essbase.sec, use a tool:

The DUMP agent command is similar to the export security file command, except that the DUMP command cannot be executed against an Essbase Server running as a service. See Table 133, Agent Commands and MaxL, ESSCMD, or Administration Services Equivalents.
