Caution!
Hyperion recommends that you back up Essbase security file and the data in Native Directory
before starting the migration process. After migrating users and groups to use the new identity
attribute, you cannot revert to the previously used identity attribute. To revert, restore user and
group data in Native Directory and Essbase from the backups.
Before starting Essbase after the upgrade, edit the IDMIGRATION setting in < Hyperion_Home >
\AnalyticServices\bin\essbase.cfg
to indicate whether to migrate to the new identity
attribute that Shared Services uses.
On starting up, Essbase checks
essbase.cfg and performs the action indicated by the
IDMIGRATION setting.
