How to Regenerate the Essbase.sec file

Hi
Could any one please let me knowthe steps on how to generate a new Essbase.sec file.
Please notethat other methods of restoring the .bak or bak_startp are known.If possible please let us know the steps to Craeate a new ESSBASE.SEC
Thanks and regards
krishnatilak

The easiest way to do it is to
1. Stop Essbase
2. delete or rename the Essbase.sec file located in the arborpath\bin directory
3. From the bin directory, start Essbase.exe (double click on it)
4. Enter the userid, password and company info as it asks for it. Note although it asks for your user Id, it wants the ID you want to be the system Admin ID
5. stop the foreground version(optional)
6. restart it as a service(optional)
If you want to reassociate applications to the security file so it can see them. In EAS do a create application with the same name as an existing one Like Sample. IT will see that the application already exists and add it to the security file.

ESSBASE.SEC file growing 8MB a day.

Is it normal for the .SEC file to grow like this? I'm guessing it has become corrupted but I don't have a backup of before it started to grow like this. If it is corrupted how do I go about recreating a new .SEC file, is there anyway to extract user/application info from the current one? We are using V7.1.3

We have both native and external authentication set up. The server gets rebooted on a weekly basis which is what alerted me to the Essbase.SEC file growth. A problem occurred on the weekend where the Essbase service would not start due to a Corrupt .SEC file (which was roughly 250meg at the time). We resolved this by restoring a .SEC file from a month ago (100meg). Should the security file be swelling to this size? I find it odd as the file on our Dev server is only 12meg and am curious as to what is causing the one on prod to grow.

Substitution Variable Issue while exporting from Essbase.sec file

Hello All,
I have an unusually distinct problem.
I have 2 environments (Development and Production) where each environment has a seperate server with Essbase installed in it.
When I tried to get information of the Substitution variables using the 'export security_file to data_file' command through MaxL and then checked the output file in Development, it showed me the right number of substitution variables and their values.
But when I did he same with my Production environment it gives exactly 1 less no of substitution variables in the export file, specifically the last substitution variable that was updated through the Essbase Administration Console.
I guess it is not updating the Essbase.sec file with the last updated Substitution variable. But I can't understand why since the same functionality works in development but not in production.
Thank You.

Hi all,
In addition, I exported the Essbase.sec file after a long time after changing the Substitution variable and now it does show the updated substitution variable.
I feel that Essbase does refresh the Essbase.sec file but after a long time. Is there some setting within Essbase that is done which refreshes the artifact files after a while. Or is this a setting within the system in which Essbase has been installed (in my case Linux).
Also the Substitution Variable that has been created is for (all apps) and (all dbs). Is this the reason why this is not working because I tried changing some other Substitution variable which is for a specific app and a specific dbs and it worked fine.
Thank You.

HEEELP: Recreate procedure for Essbase.sec file in 11.1.2.0

Hi,
What is the procedure to re-create Essbase.sec file in Essbase 11.1.2.0 environment.... In older versions it was used to delete Essbase.sec, start Essbase server and it was recreated an empty essbase.sec file.. But in 11.1.2.0 with Shared services...was is the procedure ? If it is deleted the essbase.sec file...starting Essbase Service will re-create and will update informantion from Shared Services ?
Please somebody help...
Thanks.....

Thans John,
Ok...it solves the start of Essbase Server..
After that I'd like to re-create the applications... so.. I'll rename the folder of application, so it will be possible to re.create on disk and empty application with the same application/database name...
But what will happen with the information present in Shared Services?
If I'll try to recreate the application and if in Shared serveces registry i present the name of application what will happen ? Because after the start of Essbase Server it will be no correspondence between Essbase applications present in Shared services registry and Essbase applications present in Essbase.sec file....
any idea?
Thanks....

EPM essbase.sec file

Hi,
I am using EPM 11.1.2.2. I wanted to migrate groups, roles and provisions from dev to uat env. Can you please let me know the best possible option. Also can you please let me know what essbase.sec file contains? Can i move essbase.sec from dev to uat.
Thanks for you time and help.

If you want to understand more about the Essbase security file then have a read of Managing the Essbase Security File (essbase.sec)
I agree that LCM will probably be the best method to migrate security.
Cheers

How to change the default "Safe" files in Safari?

I would really appreciate if anybody could teach me how to change the default "Safe" files using AppleScripts, Folder Actions or .plist files. I really would like to have some files to open automatically after download, specially .pps files, and safari doesn't recognize such files as "safe". I tried to find out reading the help files but got lost.
I posted a reply in an old topic for somebody who seemed to know, but it was not related to that topic, so I decided to open a new one.
I'll be gratefull for any help. Thanks.

Hi MDRC,
Have a read of [this topic|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1237961] to see if that helps.

How to get the number of files currently open?

hi,
does any one know how to get the number of files currently open in windows OS?
e.g. lets say .txt files...
any comment will be really appreciated.
thanks

Assuming that you don't want to actually do this from within Java code (which would obviously require native code), here's a utility that will give you a list of which file handles are opened by which processes (on Windows):

[Win VC++ 6.0 ]How to get the number of files count in a folder using VC++ 6.0?

Hi all,
Can any one tell how to get the number of files(.EPS) count inside a folder when the folder path is specified in VC++ 6.0?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
myriaz

I'm a little confused by the question, but it sounds like you're asking how to count the number of files with a particular extension in a given directory? That's not really an AI SDK question, but it's a fairly easy one to find if you google it. If you're trying to use Illustrator to do it, AI doesn't have a general purpose file API. It has a few functions to do some things that Illustrator needs, but I don't think enumerating directories is one of them.
