Essbase Migration Path 6.5 to 9.3.1

My company needs to migrate from Hyperion Essbase 6.5 to 9.3.1.
I have been told that this can be done from 6.5 --> 7.1.3 --> 9.3.1
I have received conflicting advice that it needs to be done this way 6.5 --> 7.1.3 --> 7.1.6 --> 9.2.1 --> 9.3.1
What is the optimal and shortest path for this migration?
Any help and experience shared is much appreciated.

My first question would be why are you only going to 9.3.1? Sice it appears you upgrade seldom, why wouldn't you upgrade to 11.1.2.1? As for upgrade path. The path you mention is if you are upgrading in place. Since you are going from such an old version, I'll guess you are going to be on new hareware as well. If it is just Essbase, you could migrate individual objects export and import data, redo your security (and most likely go to external authentication) and be set to go. Talk to a qualified infrastructure consultant as the install for 9X and 11X are more complicated than 6. (I used to carry 6 around with me on a cd)

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

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.

Hi,
I´m checking if there is a Migration Path from EP 5.0 to EP 7.0, has some one done this or know if this is Posible or if we need to go from 5.0 to 6.0 and then to 7.0?
Thanx in Advanced!
Kind Regards.

Suggested migration path for 10G rel 1 (90400) installation to 10.1.2.0.2?

We are a heavy forms/reports shop. We have just gotten done installing 10G Rel 1 (9.0.4.0.0), and now that the latest version of the App Server has been released, I'm wondering what the suggested Migration Path should be? And whether there are any "must have" features that will make an appreciable difference in forms/reports. Or, should we just install the latest patchset for our 904 installation and be done with it?
Thanks in advance.
Phil McDermott

Hmm... well, I'm going to be testing the forms/reports features of 10.1.2.0.2 just as soon as I get time, but what I'm hoping for most is that forms will work with SSO through the webcache. There is a bug in 9.0.4 that I'm aware of where SSO fails while working through the webcache. Oracle said they were working on the issue...
...anyone here know if Oracle fixed that bug? It may be a while before I'll have the time to play with 10.1.2.0.2.

Forms 6i to Forms 11g - Migration path

Have a customer who is currently using forms 6i and DB 9.X and is willing to migrate to Forms 11g and DB12g.
    Questions
        a) Does anyone know the migration path that should be used?
        b) As far as my understanding it should do both upgrades (forms and DB) at the same time as forms 6i is not certified with DB 12g and Forms 11g is not certified with DB 9.X right?
        c) Any project to use as reference?
        d) Any re-usable?
Regards,
Mariano

Is this an EBS installation? If yes, please note that Developer 11g is not certified with R12 and you will need to use 10g instead.

New Clean Mac - Best Migration Path?

I currently have a iMac G5 running Tiger and iLife 06 and have just recieved a new iMac with Leopard pre-installed and was looking for some advice in the best migration path.
I would like to know wether people recommend just using the Migration Assistant to get everything across or should I start afresh and copy across specific photos, music, mail files etc?
The question stems from the fact that the G5 has had a couple of upgrades in its time and I look at things such as the iphoto library files and they seem to be mutiple libraries (ie iphoto library, iphoto 6 library) and other duplicate files. So not sure if MA will sort and clean these out or will copy all across?
Any thoughts would be apreciated........thanks Daniel

Hello Daniel,
Very similar issues here. Just upgraded from a G4 to an intel 2.4G. I cloned the G4 onto an external. Set up the new iMac. Connected to the external and ported across only those files I wanted or needed. Now have a clean iMac with no clutter or unwanted junk on it. Double checked that everything was in order before wiping the external and cloning again.
Hang on to the G5 - Just in case you missed something. A flash drive or CD will resolve any issues.
Regards
Ian

11gR2 RAC stability and migration path

We are preparing to go from a 10g Data Guard environment (1 primary and 1 physical standby) to an 11g RAC cluster on Sun M5000s (Data Guard will not be part of the final configuration). We have heard that 11gR2 RAC is not yet mature enough so we are considering going to 11gR1. I'm curious what the general consensus is regarding the stability of 11gR2 RAC.
Also wondering what the best migration path would be. We are considering upgrading the 10g Data Guard databases to 11g and then creating a RAC physical standby database on the 11g cluster for the primary database on the old server. The migration to the new RAC cluster will consist of a failover to the new 11g RAC database and will involve minimal downtime. The 10g Data Guard databases and servers will then be decommissioned.
Thoughts?

You will be surprised if I said Oracle RAC11gR2 seems to be a new version NOT a new realease of Oracle RAC11gR1.
Many new features, surprises, bugs, yes bugs....
I suggest to directly address to Oracle itself , to your support at Oracle , as it seems to be a production DB. DOnt take the risk to decide from this forum , ask oracle experts at your support!
Good luck

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.
Cheers

Final Cut Studio 2 Migration path from Final Cut Express

I'm currently using FCE HD 3.5, which I upgraded from FCE version 1.0
I understand that no migration path exists from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Studio 2.
However I have seen on ebay someone selling an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 5 HD from Final Cut express.
I was wondering.... if I got this then could I then get a Final Cut Studio 2 Upgrade from FCP 5 HD?
Does anyone see any problems with doing this? It seems to be a way to save money.
Thanks,
Steve.

And it's well worth it. you can recoup a little of
your cost by uninstalling fce and selling it.
What's required in order to sell it? Can the registration be transferred to a new owner?

Migration Path from v2008.3 to v9.3.2

Is there a migration path from v2008.3 to v9.3.2?
Our v2008.3 environment is on a Windows 2003 server, therefore we cannot do an in-place upgrade to v9.3.2 (on Windows 2008R2). CatalogDeployer does not work between v2008.3 and v9.3.2.
Any ideas on how to move the services from one environment to another?
Please help!

We were on 2008.3 and then went to 9.1 SP2. The upgrade meant we had to install the last service pack for 2008 and then install to 9.1 and then install the SP2 pack. This change fro 2008.3 to 9.1 SP2 was a big pain for us on the Reporting side. The MyServices and ServiceDesigner pieces had little problems. This was an upgrade from Win2003 w/ SQL 2005 to Win2003 w/SQL 2008. We've been running 9.1 SP2 on SQL2008 for a year now with no problems.
We are now upgrading to 9.3.2 and are just going to run the 9.3.2 installer. We will have new servers put in place with Win 2008R2 and on the database side have just done an inplace update from SQL 2008 to SQL 2008 R2. This means that currently we are running 9.1 SP2 on SQL 2008 R2 in production. We run a very high volume for RequestCenter so the setup works fine for us in this topology. Going to Win2008 we are going to copy the database tables and run an in-place upgrade on the newly built Win2008 app server.
As for CatalogDeployer, we kept the old environment and the new environment around while testing the upgrade. This meant we could make changes to Prod using the old environment and then once production was upgraded, we deleted the old environment.

Migration Path for Organizer?

Out of curiousity, what are the "natural" migration paths from Organizer? Do any software "read" the Organizer DB and convert to their own format (ACDSee? Lightroom?)?
I'm not planning to move off Photoshop Elements any time soon, but Organizer doesn't appear to get a lot of attention from Adobe and lots of us like to have a Plan B.
I'm not too concerned about Slide Shows (I like JAlbum) or the "map" feature (other free or cheap applications do map tagging in an easier and more standard way). I'm mostly concerned about tags, notes and collections.
I know you can force Organizer to write the tags out to the fiel in a standard way (IPTC categories I think) and comments and dates are written to the EXIF header. But that's "Plan C" ;-}

Before jumping into the migration/conversion process, I would like to get an excellent understanding of the problems and limitations of the conversion process. Is there a book or document that provides an extensive description of the conversion process and identifies comprehensively and fairly the problems and limitations of such a conversion?
Also, in order to learn to use efficiently Lightroom: is there one or two books that you would recommend me more than others?
Finally I have also a probably simple question: I am not motivated at all to use RAW because of the huge amount of Disk Space required for 30'000-50'000 RAW Photos (andbecause of the time and Disk space required for Backups of such large amounts of Photos). Will I be able to use all (or most?) nice features of Lightroom, even if I continue to use jpeg File formats?
There is no book that covers conversion from PSE to Lightroom.
In general, the conversion from PSE to Lightroom does most of what you would want it to do, so I wouldn't fear the process. The conversion from PSE to Lightroom is not perfect; for one thing, version sets are lost, as there is no concept of version sets in Lightroom. Stacks are maintained upon conversion. Tag hierarchies don't show up in LR exactly as they were in PSE; but its relatively easy to recreate your hierarchies in Lightroom.
I recommend Martin Evening's book, The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers. I have become quite dis-illusioned with Scott Kelby's books for a number of reasons, so I dis-recommend them.
Your disk space problems exist whether or not your photos are in Lightroom or PSE or neither or both. Lightroom doesn't make this worse or better. Getting more disk space makes this better. Lightroom is an excellent program for RAW photos; it is just as excellent for .jpg photos. What you lose in photo quality is not because of Lightroom's ability to handle .jpg photos; you lose in photo quality because your originals are .jpg and what ANY program can do with these is less than what ANY program can do with RAW photos.
And by the way, I find myself frightened by the thought that someone has 30000 to 50000 photos and doesn't do backups because of disk space problems. This is a recipe for having zero photos some day when your hard drive crashes. If you can't make backups because of disk space issues, I would strongly recommend that you remedy this by getting another hard disk before you address any conversion to Lightroom issues. Spend that money on a disk drive rather than on Lightroom

Migration path - Consolidated tool / doc

Is there a consolidated document / tool (like CFO) to know the migration path from the source and destination version.

Hi,
If you want to migrate a planning application from 9.2 to 11 then you can use the same method as migrating across any version.
Basically using the copying schema/database method which has been covered many many times on here.

Anyone know if there will be a migration path or tool to allow users to bring existing reports that are configured in the current ZCM reporting (SAP BO) to the new Jaspersoft platform?

"very doubtful" is the answer that I have at the moment: they're very

Hi Gurus,

Please help

Questions w.r.t essbase migration

Hi,
I have two queries:
1. We are going to migrate from essbase 7.1.6 to 11.1.2.2. We will follow manual approach i.e create new app in 11.1.2.2 and move all object and data to new app. I want to know is there any non compatibility between these two version w.r.t basic essbase functionality ( like rule file, basic calculation functions etc)?
Note: Our calculation scripts are very basic. There are no complex functions used.
2. We are planning to install essbase 11.1.2.2 on RHEL 5.4. I want to know is Oracle VM is mandatory for this installation or we can directly install essbase 11.1.2.2 on RHEL 5.4?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
SB

You wont just be able to copy files from 7x to 11x as there have been multiple changes. If its not lot of work, you should look into recreating these objects in new environment.
Are you moving from windows to linux? if yes, you need to make sure you are taking copies across environments in binary mode.
As for VM being a requirement, I have never ever heard this before. Most of essbase folks want to put essbase on physical box rather than VM. Make sure you validate OS and other software/hardware compatibility for your environment.
