Use items in the Application Properties—General tab to set options for application startup, minimum permissions, expiration of locks on data, and maximum LRO file sizes.
Log Level Information—Modifies the Essbase log level configuration setting determining which messages get written to the application log.
Startup—Configure automatic startup from the following options:
Allow users to start application—Start the application automatically when a user attempts to retrieve data from a database within the application. Clear this check box to prevent users from loading an application; for example, as a temporary measure to avoid memory problems when multiple applications are being used. Selected by default.
Start application when Essbase Server starts—Start the application automatically when Essbase Server starts. Any user with at least Read access to an application can start the application. Only an Administrator or a user with Application Manager permissions can stop the application. Cleared by default.
Security—Manage the following security settings:
Allow commands
Allow connects
Allow updates
Enable security
All settings are selected by default.
Minimum access level—Define the minimum access level for an application and all databases within the application, unless the setting is changed at the database level, from the following options:
None—By default, no minimum permission is set for the application; users can access the application according to their individual permissions.
Read—Grants all users read-only access to all databases in the application. Read access enables users to view files, retrieve data values, and run report scripts.
Write—Grants all users write access to all databases in the application. Write access gives users Read access and enables them to update data values but does not permit calculations or outline modifications.
Calculate—Grants all users calculation access to all databases in the application. Calculate access gives users Read and Write access and enables them to perform calculations but does not permit outline modifications.
Database Manager—Grants all users Database Manager access to all databases in the application. Database Manager access gives users Read, Write, and Calculate access and enables them to modify database outlines and files.
Unicode mode—If selected, migrates the application to Unicode mode. This migration cannot be undone.
Pending cache size limit (MB)—Specify the maximum size to which the aggregate storage cache may grow. The default and minimum value is 32 MB. The aggregate storage cache grows until it reaches this limit. This setting takes effect after you restart the application.
The following items are only available for block storage applications:
Timeout on data block locks—Specifies the maximum amount of time, in minutes, that a user can hold a lock on data. The default time is 60 minutes.
Max attachment file size—Specifies a maximum file size, in KB, for Linked Reporting Object attachments. The default size is Unlimited.
Data storage type—Displays the data storage type for the application.
