OLAP Spreadsheet Add-in User's Guide for 1-2-3

Disconnecting from Hyperion Essbase

When you finish using Drill-Through, disconnect from the Hyperion Essbase server to free up a port on the server for other Hyperion Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in users.

To disconnect from the server:

1. Choose Essbase > Disconnect.

   Hyperion Essbase displays the Essbase Disconnect dialog box, where you can disconnect any sheet that is connected to a database.

   Figure 199. Essbase Disconnect Dialog Box
   

   Note:

   Hyperion Essbase may return an error message when you attempt to disconnect after using Drill-Through. If an error message is returned, choose Essbase > Retrieve from the sheet and then disconnect.

2. Select a sheet name from the list and click Disconnect.
3. Repeat Step 2 until you have disconnected from all active sheets.
4. Click Close to close the Essbase Disconnect dialog box.

   Note:

   You can also disconnect from the server by closing Lotus 1-2-3. An abnormal termination of an Lotus 1-2-3 session, such as a power loss or system failure, does not disconnect your server connection.
