Unlock Objects

Essbase uses a checkout facility for cube objects (such as calculation scripts, rules files, and outlines). Objects are locked automatically when they are in use, and the locks are deleted when they are no longer in use.

You can view and unlock Essbase objects, according to your security role. Service administrators can unlock any object. Other users can unlock only those objects that they locked.
