The contents of the essbase.sec security file and the essbase_timestamp.bak security backup files are encrypted. To review the contents of the essbase.sec file, an Essbase Administrator can export the contents to a readable, text file format.
Caution! | When exporting the essbase.sec file, follow your company’s security procedures to ensure the integrity of the data. |
To export the contents of the essbase.sec file for an Essbase Server instance:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, select the Security node under the appropriate Essbase Server.
Enter the name, including the path, of the text file to which the exported information is to be written.
The path must be to a location on the system where Essbase Server resides. The file cannot be written to a client system. If a path is not specified, the text file is created in the ARBORPATH\bin directory.
