Extracting Application Security

When you extract application security from an application, save the file in a format that supports multibyte character sets (MBCS). By default, application security files use the SEC file extension. You can extract application security to view or modify it in a text editor.

You can extract these types of security information:

Users and groups
Security classes
Role access

Security class access

Note:

Oracle recommends that you periodically extract security to a backup file. For information on backing up security information, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.

Web Procedure

To extract application security:

Open the application.
In Browser View, expand Tasks, and select Extract Tasks.
Select Extract Security.
Select the types of security to extract.
For Delimiter Character, enter the character used to separate information in the file.
These characters are valid:
```
, ~ @ $ % ^ & | : ; ? \
```
Note:
You must use a character that is not used in the file name or in any other way in the file. For example, if you use the comma in an entity description, you cannot use the comma as the delimiter.
Click Extract.
Follow the download instructions displayed in the browser.
The instructions vary depending on the Web browser that you are using. Make sure to save the file in the Web directory that you set up.
