You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
Choose Copy, then click OK.
Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
password).
When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

  • Import Wizard vs LCM for Migration of BO from one server to another

    Hi Experts,
    Can anyone highlight the differences between Import Wizard and LCM (in terms of migrating/deploying BO from one server to another)?
    We are currently using BO XI 3.0, which does not support LCM. I'd like to know if LCM has enough advantages to justify an upgrade to BO XI 3.1.
    Any advice is much appreciated.

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. May I have a follow-up question?
    For my client, the following deployment activities are necessary:
    1) From Development server, to one Test server containing 2 separate sets of objects - one set for SIT, the other set for UAT.
    Object (Connections, Universes, Webi reports) names in Test server will be different from those in Development Server due to the existence of 2 sets of objects on the same server.
       a) For SIT: Universe A on Development server -> Universe SA on Test server
       b) For UAT: Universe A on development server -> Universe UA on Test server
    2) From Development server, to Training server.
       Same object names will be used in Training server.
       E.g. Universe A in Development server copied to Universe A in Training Server
    3) From Development server, to Production server
       Same object names used in Production server.
    From the above, there will be 4 rounds of deployment. Is Import Wizard sufficient? Or is LCM still the better option?
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

  • Best Way to Migrate an application from one server to another

    I couldn't seem to find the best way to this by Googling. If you have two instances of Sun Web Server 7, and you want to migrate a web application from one server to another, what is the best way to that?

    I am sorry. My question was poorly worded after some hours of frustration. What I am really trying to do is develop a base virtual machine snapshot with Sun Web Server Loaded and a base set of applications.
    When the need arises, I need to deploy another VM and start it up. There seems to be some issue with the host name of the VM and the administration server, or something. It is my impression that as longs as I have everything contained in one directory like /webserver, I should be able to copy everything to a new machine and start it up. I know I need the listeners listening on all ip addresses and the jdk being used would need to be in that directory as well. Is there anything I am missing here or that I need to watch out for?

    Dear All,

    We are using ODI 11.1.1.6 version.
    In my ODI project, we have separate installations for Dev, Test and Prod. i.e. Master repositories are not common between all the three. Now my code is ready in dev. Test environment is just installed with ODI and Master and Work repositories are created. Thats it
    Now, I need to know and understand what is the simple & best way to import the code from Dev and migrate it to test environment. Can some one brief the same as a step by step procedure in 5-6 lines? If this is the 1st time you are moving to QA, better export/import complete work repositories. If it is not the 1st time then create scenario of specific packages and export/import them to QA. In case of scenario you need not to bother about model/datastores. keep in mind that the logical schema name should be same in QA as used in your DEV.
    Some questions on current state.
    1. Do the id's of master and work repositories in Dev and Test need to be the same?It should be different.
    2. I usually see in export file a repository id with 999 and fail to understand what it is exactly. None of my master or work repositories are named with that id.It is required to ensure object uniqueness across several work repositories. For more understanding you can refer
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/integrate.1111/e12643/export_import.htm
    http://odiexperts.com/odi-internal-id/
    3. Logical Architecture objects and context do not have an export option. What is the suitable alternative for this?If you are exporting topology then you will get the logical connection and context details. If you are not exporting topology then you need to manually create context and other physical connection/logical connection.

  • Best practices for migrating merged WebHelp from RH7 to RH8?

    We're using RH7 and we'll be migrating to RH8 in November. I'm startingto get the impression I should budget the time to build up each project anew in RH8 rather than just opening copies in the new UI and hoping it all works. Has anyone blazed this trail? Willing to chat about it?

    Hi Roy.
    If the networked file was purely a backup there shouldn't have been a problem. If however the file was a source file for a project that was opened on a network drive it could very easily have caused you problems. Unfortunately most people find out the hard way

  • Migration or Deployment from one server to another server!

    Hi All,
    We have a new Business Objects XI R2 SP1 production server installed in a remote location, and my client wants to migrate everything from the old BO Production server to the new server.Is there any way to do? Initially I tried using Import wizard, but it couldn't recognize the port and CMS server (They have 2 different gateways, not in a same network). I tried using BIAR file but while in the creation it doesnot archived the reports and their instances with showing 0 transfered or converted. Appreciated if anyone could give solution to my problem.
    Thanks,
    Kalyan.

    We have a BO XI R2 server running in C:\ drive and the FRS was in E:\ drive and recently we installed a new new server. I have question that when we use Import Wizard, does the FRS folder will copy to the same E:\ drive or it will copy every thing to the C:\  FRS folder.
    When we use import wizard does the users and their privileages setups will also move or we need to again re-create the users and their perivileages.
    kindly please some help!

  • Migration of company code from one server to another

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    We are in the process of migrating company code from one server to another server. We have activated the company code with ewt in old server on 01.10.10. We have to migrate the same company w.e.f. 01.11.10 to new server.
    we have two options one is to migrate the company without ewt activation where we can take all the open items and trial balance and then activate ewt and do the required health check up in ewt.
    second option is to activate the ewt and then migrate , here the issue is that if open items are migrated after ewt activation the tds gets calculated again.
    In indian scenario we have to pay the tds (challan updation) by 7th of next month, if we migrate then this is not possible because in the new server we do not have the data in the table required for clearing the entries. We are thinking of doing the challan updation in the old server itself.
    Can you suggest us the option through which we can migrate the company code. If you have any other option then please suggest.

  • Oracle db Migration from one server to another

    Can any body guide me why companies migrate Oracle db from one server to another , & what is the process for doing that?

    In that case, something has changed, right? The need to have a standby server has become important.
    Next steps:
    - define the real business requirements (why do we think we want to spend money on a spare server? why should the money go to a hardware company, instead of an increase in my salary? what benefit are they looking for?)
    - see whether any known ideas or alternatives fit the requirements, see whether the backup should be a standby server, a hot failover server, or some other backup mode;
    - go to the Oracle Technet site, look under the Product Centers: Database area to see whether there are any related topics (such as 'availability', as one of the logical reasons for a backup is to make the application more avaliable); check in that area for any white papers; read the white papers to formulate an idea, write down interesting keywords;
    - look in the Oracle docuentation, list of books, to see whether there are any books specifically dealing with that topic (such as Oracle Data Guard);
    - use Google to search for the combination of 'Oracle backup' and the interesting keyword and study several of the sites;
    - form a basic plan;
    - go to expert and trusted sources (these forums, OraFaq.com), post a plan and ask for feedback.
    There are literally dozens of alternatives. Research and find the one(s) that are right for your situation. That includes the technical as well as the financial reasons.
    More than anything, that means you need to learn to ask the right question. And that often means asking the same question several different ways, and attempting to answer each variation yourself to see how the answer solves your specific needs.

  • Best practice for migration to new hardware

    Hi,
    We are commissioning new hardware for our Web Server. Our current webserver is version 6.1SP4, and for the new server we've decided to stay with 6.1 but install SP7.
    Is there a best practice for migrating content from one physical server to another?
    What configuration files should I watch out for?
    Hopefully the jump from SP4 to SP7 won't cause too many problems.
    Thanks,
    John

    unfortunately, there is no quick solution for migrating from 1 server to other. you will need to carefully reconstruct
    - acl rules
    - server hostname configurations
    - any certificates that have been created on the old machine

  • Best Practices for migrating .rpd

    Hi,
    Can someone please share with us the industry best practices for migrating the .rpd file from a source (QA) to a destination (Prod) environment. Our Oracle BI server runs on a unix box and currently what we do to migrate is to save copies of QA and prod .rpds on our local machine and do a Merge. Once merged, we ftp the resulting .rpd to destination (prod) machine. This approach does not seem reliable and we are looking for a better established approach for .rpd migration. Kindly help me where I can find the Documentation..Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

    I don't think there is an industry best practice as such. What applies for one customer doesn't necessarily apply at another site.
    Have a read of this from Mark Rittman, it should give you some good ideas:

  • Best practice for migrating IDOCs?

    Subject: Best practice for migrating IDOC's? 
    Hi,
    I need to migrate some IDOC's to another system for 'historical reference'.
    However, I don't want to move them using the regular setup as I don't want the inbound processing to be triggered.
    The data that was created in the original system by the processed IDOC's will be migrated to the new system using migration workbench. I only need to migrate the IDOC's as-is due to legal requirements.
    What is the best way to do this? I can see three solutions:
    A) Download IDOC table contents to a local file and upload them in the new system. Quick and dirty approach, but it might also be a bit risky.
    B) Use LSMW. However, I'm not sure whether this is feasible for IDOC's.
    C) Using ALE and setting up a custom partner profile where inbound processing only writes the IDOC's to the database. Send the IDOC's from legacy to the new system. Using standard functionality in this way seems to me to be the best solution, but I need to make sure that the IDOC's once migration will get the same status as they had in the old system.
    Any help/input will be appreciated
    Regards
    Karl Johan
    PS. For anyone interested in the business case: Within EU the utility market was deregulated a few years ago, so that any customer can buy electricity from any supplier. When a customer switches supplier this is handled via EDI, in SAP using ALE and IDOC's. I'm working on a merger between two utility companies and for legal reasons we need to move the IDOC's. Any other data is migrated using migration workbench for IS-U.

    Hi Daniele
    I am not entirely sure, what you are asking, Please could you provide additional information.
    Are you looking for best practice recommendations for Governance, for example: Change transports between DEV, QA and PRD in BPC 7.0?
    What is the best method? Server Manager backup and restore, etc  ?
    And
    Best Practice recommendations on how to upgrade to a different version of BPC, for example: Upgrading from BPC 7.0 to 7.5 or 10.0 ?

  • Process for migrating CMSDK from one server to another

    All:
    We are in the process of migrating our CMSDK installation and database from one server to another. In doing so, we would like to retain our documents and folders and other custom objects that have been created till date. If there is a recommended migration process that you could point us to, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Our initial thought is to:
    1. Install the CMSDK server on the target server machine
    2. Export source CMSDK schema from source database server
    3. Import source CMSDK schema into target database server
    Are we on the right track? If so, are there any pitfalls and issues we can expect to encounter. Any information will be very helpful.
    Thanks

    The utility should help you a lot. The best documentation on how to use the utility is in the 9iFS Setup and Administrators guide (doc number A95995-01) Chapter 8. It pretty much works the same way then as it does now. These are two metalink notes on doing the export/import silently (29928.1 - 177816.1). Doing it silently is very tedious since you having to create numerous .def files and other scripts to run them.
    I will look around for any other stuff I have, but the 9iFS document is very good as a reference no matter what version of CMSDK. If you have problems finding it, I can try to send it to you, but it is around 5.6M.

  • What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.
