Synchronizing Security Information Between Shared Services
and Essbase
To ensure that Essbase security status is synchronized with Shared Services security status, you
may need to refresh security information from Shared Services. When the security status is out
of synch, the user, group, and application information displayed in Essbase may be different
from that in Shared Services. For more information on refreshing security information from
Shared Services, see the Hyperion Essbase - System 9 Database Administrator's Guide and the
Hyperion Essbase - System 9 Administration Services Online Help.
