Cannot start Essbase Server?

Problem: Cannot start Essbase Server?
The message is: Fatal Error: invalid item Index in Security File.

I can start the Essbase Service in Windows Service, and it shows "started", one second later, I refresh, it shows not started. I think it is about the Essbase.sec file corrupted, and I have rename essbase.bak to essbase.sec, still not working. I don't have an old backup for the essbase.sec. Should I reinstall Essbase? Please advise,thanks!
----------------
Solution 1(by GlennS):
If the security file is corrupted and you don't have a backup, you do not need to reinstall. You might lose all your security information howver.


First, rename the essbase.sec file

Then open a cmd window and enter Essbase.exe you should have Essbase start in the foreground and be asking for information. Enter the organization name

When it asks for the user, put in the admin id then the admin password. It should start Essbase, but none of the applications will be recognized.

Next start EAS and and right click oin the applications and select create application. One by One enter in the application names that are in the arborpath\Essbase\essbase\server\app folder.

It should re-add the applications.

Recreate any filters you had and if you are running shared services try to resync the users and groups.
--------------
Solution 2(by JohnGoodWin):
Just to add if you are using shared services,


have you tried renaming ESSBASE.BAK_startup to ESSBASE.sec to see if that works.

If that doesn't then ESSBASE.BAK_postUPM to ESSBASE.sec will be the essbase sec file just after essbase was converted to shared services mode.

What is the main develloping tool for design an Essbase?

Which one of the below or else is the main develloping tool to design an Essbase?

1. Essbase Studio Client Console
2. Essbase Integration Service Console
3. Essbase Administration Service Console
Essbase Stidio exists only in version 11, EAS can be used to modify a cube for sure, but in the beginning status to configure a cube, seems we should use another tool for the design of Essbase Cube. EIS is the tool to develope cube from RLDB. But after Essbase Studio appear, seems Essbase Studio is a more powerful tool to develop a CUBE, but I cannot find the method to create attriibute dimension and the place to associate attribute dimension with standard dimension using Essbase Studio Console?
Which tool is the most powerful to create a CUBE that include: alias, formula, attribute dim ans association, and UDA?
---------------
Answer(By JohnGoodWin):
Create a Hierarchy as usual and add your columns for your attribute dimenion, preview make sure your hierarchy is correct. Edit the hierarchy you want to map the attributes dimension to, add the attribute mapping to the hierarchy. (so attribute member mapped to dimension member)
(remember there needs to be a relational ship between the dimension members to the attribute members in your source)
There is an example of adding the mapping to a hierarchy on page 126 of EAS user guide (Multi-chain Hierarchy with Attribute Dimensions)
In the model select dimension > essbase properties > click the attribute member and then select the attribute settings. (this won't appear until you have correctly added the attribute mapping in the hierarchy set up)
------------------
Answer(By Cameron L):
To be totally pedantic, there are two tools that are missing:

1) EPMA -- Not my cup of tea, but can build a database and it supposedly works in v11, at least sometimes
2) If Business Rules is part of EAS, as is the Essbase calc script writer, you need to throw Calc Manager onto the list
I've never built an Essbase database through EPMA (although I have rapidly run away from EPMA/Planning more than once) but it's doable and apparently some like it. To me it is like liver and onions, but to each his own.
Which tool is the "best", or the main one? A case of horses for courses, I think. The project is going to dictate it, but my preference would be:
SQL driven for drill back and database creation (think ASO apps that need to get recreated) -- Studio if possible
Still SQL driven (I love load rules), prototypes (at least for me), BSO, Planning/BSO, calc scripts/HBRs -- EAS
---------------------
Answer(By Daniel):
EAS of course! EIS and Studio is gear towards ability to build a cube with drill back to a relational source. EAS is focus mainly on the cube itself and thus has all the advantages you described and therefore building things like attribute dimensions with ease.

Change the Database Name in Essbase Studio

Is there a way to change the database name in Essbase Studio, what I can see now once we have registered a database in Database Sources panel, we can't change the Database Name because it is always grayed out but the server name, user name and password can be changed.

Actually I have mentioned this issue to our team before starting development and they proposed me the schema that I can use, but suddenly our client did not agree with it that we have been using, and then our client asked us to use another schema, FYI we are using Oracle Database as the data source.
Can you guys here share how to manage this situation.
Thanks,
Rudy
---------------
For Essbase Studio, the configuration metadata are saved as CP_tablenames, look for the CP tables, and make proper database change for the database name.

1. Make a Oracle backup for the CP tables before you change the metadata so that you can get back in case if error
2. Change the CP_CONNECTION TABLE, NAME column
3. Change the CP_SOURCE table, column DNAME, for example, it is called TBC.Sales, change to NewDB.Sales
I am not sure if there are other table also need to be updated, anyway, when you update the DBname in the metadata level, everything should be consistent in all of the related tables. Here, I assume the new db has the same table names as the old db, if the new db has very different table names, recreating everything may be easier and has less risk.
