Copy security groups from development to production

Hello all,
Can we copy security provisioning for groups from one server to another if they are not linked to one shared services server?
I tried using "Copy Provision" tool in shared services but it seems like we can only copy to another server if it is in the same instance od shared services. I dont see my production server to copy provisioning to.
Please let me know how we can accomplish that.
Thanks

I think you perform migration of security provisioning for groups using LCM from shared services even if they are not linked to one shared services as the migration using LCM generates xml file which can moved between diff servers.
Cheers

Is it possible to copy security Groups from other user in CMC

Hi,
Usually in SAP security we can create user ids with the option of copy the roles from other user. means we can create user id Y same as like X. then Y will get all roles and security same as X.
it is possible the same in BO also, is there any way for this.
Regards,
Sri

Not that easily - I agree. However, normally permissions are granted to groups - not users. So as long as User Y has the same group memberships as User X it should be the same.
There are also 3rd party tools available that can make this work and of course if you like coding - using the SDK you can build a tool yourself .

OWB propagation from development to production environment

Our department is in need to implement overall security around our production data warehouse.
One issue that seems to bother our management is having only one OWB Designer where developers would have to be responsible enough to use snapshots and export mappings to mdl files. Management would like to have development and production OWB Designer Repository where production designer would always be in sync with what is deployed in prd database. Also prd OWB Designer Repository would be like a source safe so we have to always get a mapping from prd designer move it dev designer and when done propagate changes back to prd designer and then deploy to prd database.
Would this be a good approach?
Any input on how to handle propagation from development to production environment, and if you are aware of "best practices" when it comes to OWB environment is appreciated.

Hi,
Copy whole catalog and rpd from dev to prob.
If you want to copy specific report go to OracleBIData\web\catalog\samplesales\root\shared\sample+sales(group folder name)
You can copy reports under folders and dashboards in _portal in Sample sales group folder...both file and .atr file.But you may miss security applied on those dashboards.
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2008/04/28/migration-obiee-projects-between-dev-and-prod-environments/
Best practice is to copy whole catalog and rpd (or) Copy shared and system folders and their .atr files from OracleBIData\web\catalog\samplesales\root so that you will not miss security and you will not over ride users folders which may contain some data created by them.
Thanks,
Srikanth

Questions on Analyzer Upgrade and Moving Analyzer Reports from Development to Production

Hi,We run Analyzer 5.0.3. We are planning to go to Analyzer 7.2. Did any body go thru this upgrade? If so, what is your opinion and tips that may help. Also, we never had Analyzer development environment. We are planning on having Analyzer development environment. In our installation, all of the Analyzer reports are centrally developed based on user requests. Once we have development and production at the same Analyzer version, if a report is developed in the development system, how can the report be mirateed/moved from development to production system?Thank you for your help,Prasant

Balaji,
Has this been done yet?

Can anyone help for this error.
Many thanx in Advance

Hi Babloo,
According to the error message, the package may have failed are as follows:
The user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent in PRODUCTION server differs from the original package author.
The user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or to access resources outside the SSIS package.
The package may not run in the following scenarios:
The current user cannot decrypt secrets from the package. This scenario can occur if the current account or the execution account differs from the original package author, and the package's ProtectionLevel property setting does not let the current user
decrypt secrets in the package. In this scenario, we can change the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, then modify the SQL Server Agent job step command line to include this password.
File access fails because the current user does not have the required permissions to write to the file share that the connection manager accesses. In this scenario, we can create a SQL Server Agent proxy account. This proxy account must use a credential
that lets SQL Server Agent run the job as the account that created the package or as an account that has the required permissions.

SSIS package does not run when called from a SQL Server Agent job step

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Vinay,
As Visakh mentioned, the issue usually occurs because the package runs in 64-bit runtime, however, the Excel driver is 32-bit. According to your another thread, it seems that you use SSIS 2005, right? In SSIS 2005, there is no “use 32 bit runtime” option
for the package executions of a SSIS package job step. In this condition, you have two choices:
Install the 64-bit Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 Provider on the production server. Here is the download link (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=13255
Create a CmdExec type job step instead of SSIS Package job step, so that we can call 32-bit DTExec.exe to execute the package within command line. For more information, please see:

Error while importing the ODI Package from Development to Production Enviroment

Hello Everybody,
Currently I'm face the problem when import ODI models (from Development) to Production environment
And the error show follwing error:
ODI - 23040 Import file "C:/BIAPPS_Package/Models/XyZ.xml" error
please help.

Do the user performing the import have permissions to import models to the production environment? I'd also mention that you would have a better setup if your production environment only held executables such as scenarios, load plans etc. and not development objects. It leads to better change control management and simplifies the migration process from DEV --> PROD

VC Reports transport from Development to Production

Hi all,
     How do we transport the VC Reports from Development to Production.
     How to transport the model.
     Do we need to create new System Object.
     please help me. Are there any standard document available.
Thanks & Regards,
kishore.

Hi
After importing the model as Dharmi explained, you might need to change the systems' names in the model to fit the production landscape. For example, if a backend system has an alias AAA in Dev and same system has alias BBB in prod. To do this, simply choose Tools > Manage services...
If the landscapes are compatible, you can transport only the working iView using the portal transport capabilities. Navigate to System Configuration > Transport in the Dev portal, find your iView and add it to a transport package.
Hope this helps,
Shay

Virtual machine VHD file is missing the "Virtual Machine" Security group from ACL

Hey All,
Doing support work for a client and they are unable to take snapshots from certain vm's. I think this is down the VM not having the virtual machines security group within its ACL instead is seems to just have two GUIDs. to me if looks like the vm's have
been moved and imported or something like that but was obviously not done correctly.
When taking a snapshot they get a general access denied error
Does anyone know a quick way to add the virtual machines security group back into the ACL, I did find some powershell commands however this errored stating I could not change the owner of the group.
I'll keep looking but if someone knows a quick fix for this I would appreciate it. One other thing I had thought of was turning the vm off, The creating a new Virtual machine and attaching the VHD as the new VM? Would this work?
thanks in advanced

Hi Dunn2010,
Yes , please try to copy the VHD then create a new virtual machine and attach the replication .
If it is possible please try to find the relevant Error messege of your question in event log and post it here .
Any further information please feel free to let us know.

Deploying portal from development to production server

Scenario:
- Development server running OracleAS Standard Edition One.
- Production server running OracleAS Standard Edition One
Idea is to develop portal on development server, and, once satisfied and tested, deploy to production server.
Questions
1. Is this the right development model? If not, what is the recommended approach?
2. Would deployment take place via Enterprise Manager? If so, would the development portal have to be turned into an EAR file, and then pulled in to the production server? Or can the two servers be managed within a single instance of Enterprise Manager (on the production server?), and if so, how would the deployment model work?
Thanks for the input.

Hi there,
A1: Yes, I believe so, but will depend actually on what you wish to do.
A2: Depends how is your application made. I don't think you'll be using EM to make the deployment as this would be a Portal. So you may need to either use the cloning process of the iAS or the RDBMS utilities (where Metalink may help you further depending on the version of the Portal you are in)... or use the Portal Export / Import feature to pass a Page Group from one side to another (this will work only one-way - please refer to the Portal Configuration Guide chapter 10).
As to the "two servers be managed within a single instance of Enterprise Manager"... why not? You can have two RepCA dbs hooked to the same iAS infrastructure to be managed. If I'd recommend it this way... maybe not... remember that if it will be a Development env and a Production env... I'd recommend them to be really separated (just playing on the safe side... maybe :-) ).
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

How to transport requests from development to production server

hi gurus
i am new to SDN
can u pls give me detailed information how to transport requests from development server to production server?if possible give me screen shot documents
regards
surya

Hi
Transporting
There are help pages that discuss creation of transports.
In simple terms, you: create a transport package
add objects to the package export the package, plus optionally any related objects to a predefined folder/directory on the portal server into a file with an extension of .EPA copy the .EPA file to the import folder of your QA system and import it test the contents on the QA system copy the .EPA file to the import folder of your production system and import it Create a transport package file
Here is the step by step procedure to create a transport package:
For Export
1. Go to system administration, and click on transport?export.
2. In the middle pane, select the folder you want to export and right click on the Transport Package. 3. Fill in the General Properties i.e the name of the package, id and description. 4. And say finish and open the object for editing.
5. When the object has been opened then right click on the object you want to transport, and say "Add object to the Transport Package".
6. Check the checkbox of the item u have added and see the properties if it has been added properly. 7. Now click on the save button.
8. After the object is saved, click on the export button. 9. U will have an option to select where to store the .epa file which will be generated. U can overwrite an existing one by selecting the browse button, or store it with the generated name in the location it automatically generates. 10. Now Click on the Start Export button.
11. once the export is completed, it shows a report on how much time is taken to generate the .epa file. 12. Here there is an option for downloading the .epa file. Click on the link and download the file. This file is ready to be uploaded into any other EP Server.
For Import:
Pre-requisites: You have to copy the .epa file created while export into the local drive. Optionally, you have to manually copy the .epa file generated in the export function into the Import directory of the server ie. chooseFollow the steps below for importing a certain file. 1. Go to System Administration in the portal, and click on Transport?Import. 2. For the source of the package, Click on the radio button Server for the .epa file you have copied lately. Else, click on the radio button on client if you are operating in the client and select the .epa file you have stored on the local drive. 3. Now select the file from the browse option and click on Upload.
4. Now click on the import button. 5. Once the import process is finished, the report is shown. In the whole process, the par files are not included in the .epa files. For the par files to be included into the .epa files then we have to change the pcdStartup.properties file in the server. The property to be changed is Pcd.TransportApplication.Export.ExcludeObjectTypesAfterRuleProcessing: Keep this property's value as empty for enabling the par files to be uploaded into the .epa. You can check for this property in the portal in the following -System Administration-Support-Portal Content Directory-PCD Configuration.
