About the Essbase Security Backup File

Each time you successfully start Essbase Server, a backup copy of the security file is created as essbase_timestamp.bak. You can manage the number of security backup files that Essbase maintains (from 2 to 10); the interval at which the security backup files are created; and whether to switch to the latest, valid security backup file on startup if the essbase.sec file is invalid. You can also update the security backup file manually; see Updating the Security Backup File.

Note:

You can no longer start Essbase from within Administration Services. For information on starting Essbase, see “Starting and Stopping Essbase using OPMN” in the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
