A word to the wise:
Always make a backup copy of the
essbase.cfg
file before you
make any changes to it. The
essbase.cfg
file is a critical system
file used by the Essabse analytic server, and there are entries in there
that affect whether the service will start or not. Just in case.
First of all, there are literally dozens of optional statements that can be used in the
essbase.cfg
file as shown in the screenshot below. However, do not be alarmed,
if you do not have each of the available statements represented in the
essbase.cfg
file. As usual, Essbase has a default setting for almost all of them.
That is quite an impressive list of configuration settings. You may even recognize
some of them based upon our earlier discussions. Keep in mind that the
essbase.
cfg
file can contains settings that have no real effect on system performance
management, but they do set configurations for other aspects of system control.
The proper syntax and use of each statement can be found in the
Essbase Technical
Reference
, but we will show you a few of the more important ones.
