To update the server with data values from the worksheet, use the Send command on the Essbase
menu. After updating the server, the Send command automatically unlocks data (unless you are
in Update Mode). You must clear Update Mode to stop the automatic locking of blocks.
You can unlock data blocks in two ways:
● The Unlock command unlocks all blocks that you have locked.
● The server automatically unlocks data blocks that have been locked for the maximum time
allowed as defined by the Essbase system administrator. Automatic unlock ensures that
blocks are not locked for extended periods of time.
The
P&l.xls file is installed as part of the default Essbase installation. This file illustrates how

➤ To view the P&l.xls worksheet:
1 Select File > Open.
2 From the \AnalyticServices\client\sample directory, open the P&l.xls file.
3 Select Essbase > Retrieve & Lock.
Essbase retrieves data and locks the appropriate area of the database, as shown in Figure 159.
