Catalog Migration from Dev to Prod

Hello,
Certain users of our system are unable to login to OBIEE after we migrate to Prod. Getting the below error
access denied for user to path /users/*USERNAME*/_portal/dashboard layout
USERNAME is the userid used to login to obiee
In our Prod, Users have access to Answers and hence they save their reports under My Folders.
While we migrate the new set of dashboards and reports from Dev to prod, we overwrite the System, System.atr, Shared, Shared.atr files of Prod with the corresponding files from Dev. Thus retaining the Users and Users.atr files of Prod.
Security: All are users/pwd are stored in the RPD
Is there something wrong with the migration procedure or is it a bug?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

+2) Why did you migrate the "System, System.atr" ? Try without this one, but just the "shared" folders and files.+
System, System.atr are migrated since this folder stores the Privileges and data formatting etc. These configurations need to be migrated to prod as well.
However I tried what you suggested and USERNAME is able to login and see the dashboards. But the Privileges and data formatting changes in Dev didnt get into Prod
There is a Security folder under System. Do you know what it is used for. Should I try to retain this folder in Prod?I don't really know.
The object permissions (like report permissions) are supposed to be in ATR file (i think so...), but there are other permissions and security things everywhere.
But i appears to be a clue to solve your problem.
+3) Do you have a backup of the previous Prod webcatalog ? If so, try to copy the USERNAME/_portal content into the new one.+
This might work, but I really need to identify what is the root cause for this since we have migrations bi-weekly and this issue might pop-up again for a different userOf course. I just suggested that to see if if the /username/_portal were really different, despite you didn't upgrade them.

Was this database migrated from dev or prod?

We have several environments (e.g., development, staging, test, training, production). When migrating a production database to a new version of SQL, we also migrate the related environments. Sometimes the developers want a refresh from production in
development. Sometimes they want the old development database. A question came up about the source of a development database - was it from dev or production?  If I'm lucky, the information I want is listed in the following query.
SELECT rh.[restore_date], rh.[destination_database_name], bs.server_name, bs.database_name
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[restorehistory] rh
LEFT JOIN [msdb].[dbo].[backupset] bs ON rh.backup_set_id = bs.backup_set_id
WHERE bs.server_name <> @@SERVERNAME OR rh.destination_database_name <> bs.database_name
If I'm not lucky, the history is no longer present. This is often the case because we don't keep a lot of history. Is there any other metadata that will help me identify where a database came from? Should I insure that the most recent
restore record for an existing db is not cleaned out, no matter how old it is?  Thanks.

I was hoping that the source would have been hidden in a system table some place - reliable and no extra work/politics. I think the answer is looking like, "The information is gone - it can't be done." Yes, a new business process
would certainly provide the information.  However, changing organizational behavior is not for the faint of heart.
I think it would be easier to update the history cleanup.  This would mean that I can't use msdb.dbo.sp_delete_history as it currently exists. It has very simple logic. I might create a version of my own that keeps the records I want.
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedbackdetail/view/967074/sp-delete-backuphistory-option-to-exclude-special-old-records
Not a bad idea. They could put a "keep" flag on the row and let you set it.
Or you can copy out the rows you like and maintain your own table with your own logic.
It would certainly be nice if every backup kept a record of its own source and wrote that to some read-only location in the restored database, but this does not seem to be the case. Maybe I should file a connect suggestion on that - only my perception
and experience with connect is to not waste my time, most suggestions are misunderstood and rejected out of hand.
But what I was suggesting about the business process contents is that it is already there - any dev source database has developer IDs in it that never occur in production, and production databases have only production IDs that you might see are newer than
anything currently in dev. So no change in business process would be required, just some knowledge of what's already there and a couple of queries to count some differentiating factors.

How to use the repository; uploading reports from DEV to PROD...

Hello...
I'm fairly new to CR-XIr2 (SP3) but have worked with Crystal Reports since v6.0. I'm trying to figure out how to create a dynamic parameter list that someone can select an item from, which will get sent as an input parameter to the SQL Server 2005 stored proc that populates the report. I'm also trying to figure out if there's an easy way to copy reports from a DEV environment into PROD. We have BOE.
Basically, I would like to find out resources online or in books on how to use the BOE repository for dynamic and/or cascading parameters (i.e. pulling a list of text values & their associated IDs from a lookup table that won't be used in the report), images (i.e. corporate logo), etc.. What complicates things for us is that IT is now requiring us to use a DEV environmentit was really easy when we had unlimited access in PROD! We also need to put together a process where reports & other repository objects that are copied from DEV to PROD access the correct db, etc. (Crystal Report in DEV accesses DEV db/repository/etc.when copied to PROD it accesses PROD db/repository/etc.)
Anyway, I'm just looking for info on where to begin--whether it be a book, a BO/SAP knowledge base article, in-class training from a specific company, etc. Thanks!

Hey Markian,
Can you let me know the process you have followed to migrate from Dev to Prod.
We can migrate all the reports and objects and database fields through migrate wizard where you can import all the objects, reports and database fields and users to production enterprise.
Just follow the above scenario and let us know if you are facing any error.
Try publish the reports using import wizard and run it in the crystal designer.

Naveen.

OBIEE 11g - Application role migration from DEV to UAT or to PROD

Hello All,
there are blogs which mentioned about application role migration from dev to UAT or Prod..
Kindly provide the correct path of below two files which we use for application Role migration
1. system-jazn-data.xml
2. jps-config.xml
I have searched these files but noticed there are 3 or 4 files with same name under different paths.
Kindly help. TIA
Regards

if you mess up these files, your system will get corrupted.
You need to take proper back up and then get it done.
another way where you can avoid this risk is to manually enter the roles. Creating roles is one time effort unless you keep deleting and creating new roles. If you manually do it you will have more control on migration and you can fix if there an issue easily. Note, the migration of roles does not map the groups to roles . You still have to manually map them.

How to migrate document hierarchy from DEV to PROD?

Need some suggestions as to migration of the document hierarchy. The migration wizard is great for migration objects such as portlets, but it's cumbersome to migrate the entire document hierarchy from DEV to PROD as we will have to select all the leaves in the hierarchy to retain the tree. Does any one have the similar experience and have some suggestions? Thanks!

How to change the name of HFM EPMA Application while migrating from dev to

We have HFM EPMA application in Dev env on 11.1.2.2. We want to migrate aplication to production environment with different name. We are using Life cycle management to migrate the application. I know life cycle management but do not know how to change the application name during migration.
As we have EPMA application so copy utility will not work. Please helop.

Hi ,
You could use the Copy app utility to migrate the application from Dev to Prod.You could have your desired app name while setting up the copy process.
The EPMA application from Dev will be converted to an Classic application in Prod after the copy.
Then you might need to use the "Transform Classic to EPM Architect" and convert it to an EPMA application.
So your Application with the data from Dev will be moved to Prod.
To Navigate ,
Launch Workspace
Navigate ->Administer->Transform Classic to EPM Architect

Hi,
First check the source system: ZSTGLDV110 is exists or not. check the rfc connections (Also check the source system assignment in both the system to each other). check the settings in the stms tcode. check the suppoet pack on your quality system,.... there are plenty of reasons.

Transport from DEV to PROD BPC 7.5

Hi
i had a question of transporting AppSets from DEV to PROD System.
On the PROD Systems are no AppSets the PROD System is completly new.
Is it possible to transport the AppSets directly from the DEV to the PROD or must we first make a Backup in the DEV and an Restore in the PROD.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Carsten,
As far as i understand you need to transport application sets individually, from development to production. The object type ASET and APPM refer to an application set and application respectively.
As mentioned above, you can check and confirm from SAP Support if the back up mode ia now available to users.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
You can use scatt tool to upload the data in the developement server. Prepare a file with data. Do it in developement environment only. then in SCATT you have remote logon facility using which you can run the scatt in developement environment and the result will be placed in the production server.
Let me know if you what more information on this.

What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV - Test - PROD

Hi,
One of my customers recently asked me, Supposing I do the complete integrations and modelling in SOA Suite on the DEV Environment. Then,
What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV -> Test -> PROD ??
Also, since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?
Best Regards

It has been discussed here in detail-
SOA 11g Composite Deployment across multiple Instances: Best Practice
since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?You may use deployment plan for this purpose. For access control, you may use Role Based access of Weblogic and EM. Please refer -

Best method to transport changes from DEV to Prod Environment

Hi SDNers,
I have a requirement here :
I have made some changes to the DEV environment, which i want to move to the production Environment.
Changes mainly include the Structural changes, XSD's, Import maps, Remote systems, Export Maps, Validations etc. Please note that I DO NOT WANT to transport the data from DEV to Prod environment.
I can see 2 options available :
1. Export/Import Repository schema - But as far as i know, the import and export maps will not be transported auomatically through Export/Import Schema.
2. Archive/Unarchiving Without data -
Here are my questions :
1. Is the 2nd option feasible looking at the changes I need to transport? If yes, is there any recommended guide available by SAP suggesting the 2nd option for trnasport mechanism.( Please sendme the links)
2. Will it affect the data in Prodcution in any chance?
3. Is there anything Archiving/Unarchiving without data cannot handle.
4. Will it impact any other normal running of Production environment.
Please respond to my queries.
Thanks and Regards
Nitin Jain

Hi Nitin,
If you use Archive/UnArchive option without data then you cannot persists the PROD env since you need to UnArchive the entire repository which is empty and then you need to move the PROD data into this repository.
1. Is the 2nd option feasible looking at the changes I need to transport? If yes, is there any recommended guide available by SAP suggesting the 2nd option for trnasport mechanism.( Please sendme the links)
Ans. I don't think, 2nd option is feasible as a mentioned earlier. This option should be used when we need the entire repository without data which is not the case you are looking for.
2. Will it affect the data in Prodcution in any chance?
Ans. If you are using 2nd option then this question is not related because when you UnArchive, you will get the new repository so this wont affect the existing repository at all.
3. Is there anything Archiving/Unarchiving without data cannot handle.
Ans. Workflows
4. Will it impact any other normal running of Production environment.
Ans. If you are using 1st option then you need to unload the PROD repository first and then import the changes. For option 2 its not related.

Jitesh Talreja
