EssUpdateBakFile

Compares the security backup file essbase_timestamp.bak to the security file essbase.sec and overwrites the backup file with the security file if the two files do not match.

Syntax

ESS_FUNC_M EssUpdateBakFile (hCtx);

Notes

Essbase compares the security file and the backup file every time the server starts. The MaxL statement alter system sync security_backup can be used to automatically compare the security backup file to the security file at specified intervals or on demand. When Essbase compares the files, it updates the backup file to match the security file.

Return Value

If successful, returns zero.

Access

This function requires the caller to be an Administrator.
