Updating the Security Backup File

  To manually update the security backup file:

1. From Enterprise View or a custom view, select the Security node under the appropriate Essbase Server.

2. Right-click and select Update security backup file for <Essbase Server name>.

3. At the confirmation prompt, click Yes.

   Essbase determines whether the security file (essbase.sec) has changed since the latest security backup file (essbase_timestamp.bak) was created. If the security file has changed, a new security backup file is created.

  To specify how often Essbase checks for differences between the security file and the security backup file, and updates the security backup file if needed:

1. From Enterprise View or a custom view, select the Essbase Server.

2. Right-click and select Edit properties.

3. In the Essbase Server Properties window, select the Security tab.

4. Expand the Auto logoff node.

5. For the Check every option, specify how often, in minutes, Essbase should compare the security file with the security backup file.

   Note:

   This setting also controls how often user inactivity is checked.

6. Click Apply.
