Import Security : Planning


There will be a huge number of requests to grant or remove security access for users.
For one or two changes, it is simple task, click on member and then assign access and grant permission. It becomes tiresome when we need to make changes for large number of members.
It involves considerable amount of time.

Automating the security changes saves considerable amount of time. The ImportSecurity utility in planning loads access permissions for users or groups from a text file into Planning. Importing access permissions using Import security utility overwrites existing access assignments only for imported members, users, or groups. All other existing access permissions remain intact. The SL_CLEARALL parameter clears all existing access permissions.
ImportSecurity utility is located at /Hyperion/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/Planning/planning1 on Planning server as shown in the following picture:


Steps for importing access permissions:

STEP1:Create a text file and name it as Secfile.txt and save it in bin directory (/Hyperion/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/Planning/planning1).

STEP 2: Locate the ImportSecurity utility by navigating to the path /Hyperion/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/Planning/planning1
Then use the utility command

The syntax is as follows:
ImportSecurity.sh “appname,username,password,[delimiter],[RUN_SILENT],[SL_CLEARALL]”

Where:
appname : Name of the Planning application importing access permissions.

username : Planning administrator user name.

password :Planning administrator password.

delimiter (Optional) : SL_TAB, SL_COMMA, SL_PIPE, SL_SPACE, SL_COLON, SL_SEMI-COLON. If no delimiter is specified, comma is the default.

RUN_SILENT ( Optional) : Execute the utility silently (the default) or with progress messages. Specify 0 for messages, or 1 for no messages.
[SL_CLEARALL] (Optional): Clear existing access permissions when importing new access permissions. Must be in uppercase.

STEP3: You can check the results in log file in /Hyperion/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/diagnostics/logs/planning

STEP 4:Now Check in the Planning Application.


Thanks!!
