Restore essbase.sec file to another server

Dear all,
I've restored several databases from our Develop server to another server.
But can I just copy security file to that server?
My concern is they have different numbers of app/db, will the security file work?
if it doesnt work, how can I recover the security file of a certain database?
Thank you in advance for your help!!

Singlejoe,
You are going to have problems if you don't match up the app/dbs on your target server.
Assuming that your source dev server has more databases than the target, before you copy over, create dummy apps/dbs on the target. Stop Essbase, and backup your to-be-replaced Essbase.sec. (A just-in-case copy to retain whatever security, filters, etc. you may have).
If you have more/different apps/dbs on your target, I would archive them (full backup to text, copy all relevant artifacts, etc.) and then delete. Then follow the paragraph above. The point is to make the app/db folders look exactly the same to Essbase.sec.
Then copy over your source Essbase.sec to your target, delete the dummy apps/dbs and you should be good to go.

Cameron Lackpour

  • 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....

  • 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.

    Not to mention that some FTP servers can return more than one return message per operation whereas others may return one message for the same operation.I had the problem using the LIST command to determine if a file exists on the server. Cannot be determined via the FTP server's return code. Which means parsing and checking the text response from the server to the command. And this vary from server to server.
    But the basics were quite easy to code. The entire package is 500 lines, includes comments and blank lines for formatting, and supports the basic FTP client command set. Not really a complex piece of software to write - but I found that many developers seem to think that writing network socket software is complex. Not really the case...Mine's a big larger, but incorporates functionality similar to what Chris provided in his, such as being able to use SQL to query a remote file using pipelined functions, or functionality to write the results of a query directly to a remove file.

  • Server Admin may overwrite files from another server!

    Not 100% sure how this happened, but I found that the users could no longer log onto one of the mail servers. The mail client return a partition error. After some quick investigation I found something that I could just not believe.
    The files main.cf and imapd.conf were wrong....they were the files of another server of mine. I just could not understand how that was possible. I made manual changes to both files to correct them and all was working again. The only way this could have happened was for Server Admin (I had both servers open) to have done it. Has anyone else seen that problem, I do hope not.
    Any idea what other files that Server Admin may update? Whilst I think all is OK now, it is hard to way 100%.
    Tim

    Alex,
    Did some more checking this morning when the pressure was less and can confirm that all the files that the mail section of Server Admin edits were changed to match the setting of the other server that it also has a connection to. Only hope the problem was 'cos I had both servers open at the same time and not the general used of the Admin app. Only really use it on mail now for looking at logs. Will make this as closed, but post something in the admin forum to warn others.

  • EPM essbase.sec file

    Hi,

    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.

  • Restoring Database from tape to another server

    Like, we have one Oracle database on linux server XYZ and it is backed up to Tape using RMAN. And we need to restore the same database to server ABC.Do we need to modify any environment variables and such so that restore is done ? Or does it work straight away in this different server too ?

  • Problem in accessing the media files from another server

    Currently I am working in a project with streaming video on demand and using FMS 4.5.
    Let’s say the FMS is installed on one machine say ‘121.123.35.34’ and there is another server ‘100.54.88.222’ where all the media files belong. Now we need to point to this third server to play videos from FMS.I have done the below changes:
    In the fms.ini file: set the VOD_DIR2 = \\100.54.88.222\myvideos
    In the application.xml: Added the stream: <Streams>/hr;${VOD_DIR2}</Streams>
    From my application accessing the path of flv as:source= “rtmp:// 121.123.35.34:1935/vod/hr/test” . Not able to access the video.
    Note: If I will point to say ‘C:hrvideos’ in VOD_DIR2, then I am able to access the videos using the same URL.
    I also tried mapping the shared path to the FMS machine and then given the mapped drive path in the VOD_DIR2, but this also doesn’t work.
    Please let me know:
    If we need to configure any other parameter to stream videos from another server.
    VOD_COMMON_DIR: I modified this similar TO VOD_DIR to location 'C:hrvideos', I am able to stream the videos using rtmp, but not abl eto stream with http.
              Please let me know  can we stream using http also as we need this to run f4m manifest file.
              http://121.123.35.34:8134/vod/hr/sample.mp4.
              http://121.123.35.34:8134/vod/hr/sample.f4m
    Thanks,
    Anjali

    Hi Shiven,
    I followed the steps suggested by you:
    1) Changed the stream:
    <Streams>/hr;${VOD_DIR2}</Streams> to<Streams>/;${VOD_DIR2}</Streams>
    But not able to access the video with rtmp:// 121.123.35.34:1935/vod/test
    2) For http streaming, changes the HttpStreamingContentPath in hds-vod in the httpd config file, and tried to stream the video like:
    http:// 121.123.35.34:8134/vod/test.mp4 or
    http:// 121.123.35.34:8134/hds-vod/test.mp4
    But not able to load the video.
    Please suggest?
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Problems with FMS accessing files on another server

    Hi Guys
    Im currently working on a small project with streaming video on demand and using FMS 4.0 (and a complete noob in FMS).
    The video’s is located on another server than the FMS. But I have mapped the server to a drive on my FMS server,
    \\192.168.1.10\data\media\mov\ => R: 
    And in the fms.ini file change vod_dir = R:\
    The FMS service is logging on as Administrator, but I still can’t play the videos.
    If I change vod_dir to a local folder ( c:\data\media\mov\ ) on my FMS server it play the movie fine, any idea why this doesn’t work?
    FYI: I'm using rtmp and both servers is running win2008 R2
    Any input is greatly appreciated
    Best reagrds
    Shimshim

    Hi Nikhil
    I ran the test on my two laptops (xp and win 7, instead of the win 2008 servers ), with lesser restrictions.
    When I used the UNC path in the fms.ini it worked fine, but not when I used the mapped drive.
    This proves it s security setting on my servers, that’s coursing the problem.
    Thank you for your help and fast replies J
