Essbase migration from 9 3 1 to 11 1 2 2

Hi Gurus,
I wish to migrate essbase applications from 9 3 1 to 11 1 2 2
I know one of the way is to use migration wizard to copy databases and do data export and import
I am wondering if anyone had done App folder copy from 9 3 1 to 11 1 2 2
I tried doing that, however I get an error saying unable to load database
Please help
thanks
Praveen.

Thanks John.
the process works when the source and target are in same version (9 3 1 )
but it fails when i go from 9 3 1 to 11 1 2 2
i am using a level 0 export and importing the data
but I am wondering why it don't work across versions.
Thanks
Praveen.

Essbase migration from system 7.x to 11.x system

Hi,
Please i need help !
I want to migrate the essbase applications from 7.x system to 11.x system not by using the wizard.
Just i want to do it using the batch script in windows environment.
Please send the script with one example.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you want to batch it up then you will can use Maxl to create the v11 app / db.
If you have security/filters you want to export then it is possible with maxl though you will have to play around with the format. All the maxl statements are available in the [tech ref|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/launch.htm] so have a read. If that is too much of struggle then you could have a look at using the [advanced security manager|http://www.appliedolap.com/free-tools/advanced-security-manager] tool as that may help.
You will also be able to export / import the data using Maxl.
As for the database objects (otl,csc,rep,rul..) you can use windows command line to copy them.
I am not going to provide the script to do it as with a little reading of the tech ref you should be able to develop a script yourself, if you get stuck then there always help here to guide you on your way.
Cheers

Essbase Migration from 6.5.7 to 11.1.1

Hi
Please clarify me below two questions
1) we are using Essbase 6.5.7 now our customer want to move from 6.5.7 to Essbase 11.1.1 can we do migration from V6 to V11 directly or we have to go from V6.5.7 to V9.3.1 to V11.1.1. what are the precautions we need to take care while doing migration.
2) we have Essbase VBA API 6.5.7, can we move from 6.5.7 to 11.1.1 VBA API's. if it is yes then what are the precautions we need to take care while going form V6 to V11. some where i have read like performance of VBA API tools will be decreased.If yes what is the alternative.
Thanks in advance.

1) As of now, there is no direct upgrade option available from version 6 to 11. It is supported only from version 9 to 11. However, if it is only an essbase you can always go a fresh installation of system 11 and migrate your essbase cubes into 11 environment using migration wizard in EAS.

Essbase migration from 6.5.7 to 9.3

Hello all,
We need to migrate Essbase applications from 6.5.7 to 9.3. I have read somewhere that it will not be a direct upgrade from 6.5 to 9.3.
1. Could you please someone explain the steps that we need to consider?
2. Can you please tell me from version 6.5 to which intermediate version and then to version 9.3?
3. Do we also need to buy the intermediate version?
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi,
Ramesh, we are not able to do the direct migration. If u want to migrate from 6.5.7 to 9.3, then you should need to migrate into intermediate version.
1) Steps:
By using migration wizard in AAS, you are able to migrate the application from one server to another.
First u need to migarte the application into 7X version and then to 9.3 version.
Important points to be remember :
* You must have Create/Delete Applications permissions for both the source and target Essbase Servers to use Migration Wizard.
* The target server for the application migration cannot be an older version than the source server.
* Make sure the target server is running.
2) Can you please tell me from version 6.5 to which intermediate version and then to version 9.3?
Need to migrate into 7X version.... i.e latest version of 7X ... It should be 7.1.5...
3) I am not sure in this.......

Essbase migration from different env

Hi All,
I need to migrate CUBE from DEV to QA env, I use the Essbase Administration tool to connect DEV and QA Essbase server, I copied the application from DEV to QA, after I test in the OBIEE report, found only the dimensions have data, the fact have no data,
I am wondering what would be the standard migration steps for Essbase cube?
Is there any one who have the same problem?
please help.
thanks & regards
henry He

Hi,
Did you export data?
Can you try to pull the data through excel or just with preview option in EAS(only for non unicode applications). If you see data here then there should be some problem pulling the combinations of data in OBIEE.
Can you see if there are any index/pag files for application in QA? this will also confirm if your application has any data.

Essbase migration (from backup)

Gurus,
In the environment I work in, we backup Essbase everyday. We have script to backup all the artifacts, such as essbase.sec, essbase.bak, essbase.cfg, .otl, .csc, .rep, .rul, etc.
We have several cubes in Essbase and we are supposed to recreate the same cubes in a different server. We do not have any cubes in the new server, so we need to have the same cubes as we have now in our production environment. How could we do this task? One may be via LCM but I would like to know if there are any other options such as copying, etc.
All the files we have are under \\server\d$\Hyperion\Essbase. So is there any way we can copy the whole essbase folder and paste it in the target server?
OR do we need to do something else?
Guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks

John and Kyle,
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge.
Well, I am thinking about using the LCM because while reading your links and then going over some of the docs, it seems to be more sensible.
Some questions,
In HSS, when i click the application group, and under FOUNDATION when I click SHARED SERVICES and export it, I have got the exported file in the FILESYSTEM. Also I have the option to save the migration definition. Do I need to copy the migration definition to the target environment or do i need to just copy the file I named during the EXPORT?
Also, we are migrating the whole SYSTEM to the new environment which consists of Planning applications, essbase cubes, reports and scripts, rules files, business rules, data forms, and all the artifacts.
Is it possible to achieve this via LCM?
ALSO, is there any sequence we need to follow in doing the export and import using LCM?
thank you again.

Essbase migration

Hi Team,
I am doing only essbase migration from verion 7.1 to 11.1.2.2 . All i need is Essbase and EAS in the upgraded version.
1) Do i need shared service in the newer version? If yes, do I need Oracle DB because shared service security is stored in DB?
2) Do i need provider services installed?
Thanks for your time.
Thanks,
Hari.

Hi Hari,
As per the documentation and recommendation, if you are consider upgrading any Hyperion component, it is recommended and advised that all the components should be in the same version.
If you plan to upgrade Essbase to version 11.1.2.2 then all the other EPM components(Hyperion) should be in the same version. This is documented.
For your information -
Upgrading from version 7.1.6.x to 9.3.1.x_
Migrating from 7.1.6 to 9.3.1. is covered in the online documentation in Chapter 'Upgrading Hyperion Products'. Essentially you are migrating first to 9.2.0.3 then 9.3.1.x
Source: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hsys9_install_start_here.pdf
Upgrading from version 7.1.6.x to 11.1.1.x_
If you are upgrading from an earlier release of EPM System products, note the following supported upgrade paths:
9.2.0.3 to 11.1.1.x
9.2.1 to 11.1.1.x
9.3.x to 11.1.1.x
If you are using a release earlier than 9.2.0.3, you must first upgrade to one of the releases in the preceding list, and then upgrade to 11.1.1.x. For upgrade procedures, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
Source: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_1111400_readme.pdf
Upgrading from version 7.1.6.x to 11.1.2.x_
Follow the previous instructions to get to 11.1.1.3, and then upgrade to 11.1.2.1
For upgrade procedures, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
Source: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_1112200.pdf
Hope it helps...

Essbase migration OS compatibility

Hi Team,
Can you please confirm if there are any issues with essbase migration from hp-ux to RHEL6 . Can i migrate the L0 data and outline/other artifacts between from source to destination. Will there be any compatibility issues?
Essbase 7.1.0 running in HP unix 64 bit version --> EPM 11.1.2.2 under RHEL 6 64 bit.
Thanks for your time.
Hari.

You should be able to migrate the otl and other objects and export/import the data, it might be worth trying to use the EAS migration wizard if it can access both essbase servers.

Migrate essbase app from 6 to 9

planning to migrate the app from essbase 6 to esbase 9.to a whole new server.
Any issues with that...any doc on migration from 6 would be useful.
its urgent

I started to migrate from 6.6 to 9.3.1 and it went quite smooth. What I have done:
Installed the server.
Used the config tool and removed shared services registration.
Copied essbase.cfg to new installation.
Had to add the env variables manually on AIX from the hyperionenv.doc.
Installed the eas server.
Used config tool for config and deployment of eas on std settings.
Installed the eas client and used the migration tool to migrate some databases to the new server from a 6.6 (6.6 running on different machine than 9.3)
Tested our batch processing for data load, security transfers, data staging etc. which uses some api interfaces and ESSCMD and maxl scripts. All without any problems. All settings were kept the same as on the old systems (essbase.cfg, db settings, app settings).

Upgrade/Migrate Essbase Standalone from 9.3.1.0 to 11.1.2.2

I've got a standalone 9.3.1 instance that we want to take to 11.1.2.2. For us, the most cost-effective way is to patch 9.3.1 to a release we can migrate from, compatible with 11.1.2.2. So it's 9.3.1 to 9.3.1.6/9.3.1.7 in place and then to 11.1.2.2 on new hardware.
My concern is the move to 9.3.1.6. Has anyone done this, and what are the pain points? My users are only in Essbase (security). I believe I've read they need to get out of Essbase before going to the 11.1.2.2 HSS/Essbase scenario (HSS required for install/startup?)
Anything that I *shouldn't* do?
Thanks in advance,
-Vince

If it is standalone and only Essbase personally I see no point in patching and then upgrading to 11.1.2.2, I would prefer to have a clean install and then migrate the application as if you moving to 11.1.2.2 then no doubt it will be new hardware and OS.
One possible method would be to install and configure 11.1.2.2 then use the EAS migration wizard to migrate the Essbase applications, data would need to be migrated separated.
You would also need to consider security if you are moving to Shared Services security in 11.1.2.2
It may be worth discussing your options with a consultant as there important points that should be covered which is probably not for a forum.,

Migrating Essbase App from SUN to LINUX

Dear Essbase Members,
Can you please help me in answering the below questions.
We are soon to migrate our essbase applications from Current : Sun Solaris SPARC 64 bit OS - Essbase 11.1.1.3 to Target : Oracle Linux 4 64 bit OS - Essbase 11.1.2.2 .
can i migrate my essbase applications by create all essbase applications on the target servers and just copying all essbase objects like ( .otl, .rul ), level 0 export from source and import in the target and aggregate the cube.
I know we have a migrating utility, but was thinking about the above approach. will i be able to copy files and make it work , as the OS and essbase version are different on both the servers.
or is there a better way to do this.
Thanks
MS

Yes you can use that approach or use the EAS migration wizard, personally I would choose the migration wizard as it will migrate more information like filters, substitution variables.
For a list of what is and not migrated using the wizard have a read of - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/eas_help/dbwzmigrpost-migration.html
Remember security will not be migrated if in Shared Services mode.

Is it possible to migrate from Hyperion essbase ver 6 to Hyperion Ver 11?

Hi Hyperion geeks,
is it possible that Migrate from Hyperion essbase ver 6 to Hyperion Ver 11. if yes then pls let me know how we can do it????
reg,
abhishek

Hi,
We're finishing our migration from 6.2 to 11.1.1.3.
Of course won't recommend to migrate directly... they will recommend going through different steps (v7, V9...) => useless I think.
Here what we did :
- Installed v11 (new server)
- copied objects from v6 to v11, tested and validated objects under v11
- for .sec, recreated the app/databases first then copied the v6 .sec on v11 server. Of course your server have to be installed with native securities then you may push to shared services.
- if you don't care about changing password you could handle it with maxl extracts or secman (but I had issues with secman).
Finally it's just like any migration
