HFM Copy Application Utility

Hi,
My assumption is HFm Copy Application utility is to just copy Data between the applications not the Forms,Grids and Custom Documents.For form and grids we have to just export them and re-import them in the new environment.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Mugundhan

That utility will copy all the stuff from source application. Once you copy the application, Just register the Shared servises and you caould be able to use a replicatied app.

Copy apps using HFM Copy application utility when users logged in.

Hi All
I am using HFM copy application utility to migrate apps across environments. Can we do the same when users are logged in and active? I know that this utility just copies tables from source to destination, but I m not sure if the copy will be successful if some of the tables are being edited.
Thankyou,
Raghu

Hi,
Dont run the HFm Copy appplication utility when apps were in use.Let say you have app1,2,3,4 and you want to move app 1, make sure app 1 is not in use.
if some body is accessing app2 or 3 or 4 you dont want to worry about that while moving app 1.
Thanks,

HFM Copy Application v11.1.3

Two questions: during the copy app process, did you ensure that everyone was completely out of the source and target databases? And, after you copied it, did you register the application?

Do anyone know how to solve this issue and can give me some feedback...thanks

What error are you getting?

HFM Copy Utility

We have used the copy utility more than once to copy an app from production to our test environment. After the copy is complete, we go into Shared Services to register the application and it doesn't appear in the unassigned applications folder; therefore, we can't register it. However, sometimes the copied application does appear in the unassigned applications folder. Any idea what we need to do to have the apps consistently appear in the unassigned applications folder so that we can register the app w/ Shared Services?
Thanks.
Terri

After the copy of applicaion is finished, try open this application. After that register application from Shared Services (you can find it in unassigned application folder)

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
Thanks and regards,

Copying application system within a repository

We have a scenario whereby a certain application system needs to be copied. The logic behind this is to have an extra version of the application system, after which the source version will be frozen. The newly-made copy will be used as a new work-copy. We do not want to use version control.
When copying application system 1 (AS1) to AS2, it appears that certain references are going crooked. The copying itself was effected by right mouse clicking on highlighting AS1. (Should 'external references' have been checked before the actual copying action?)
After actually having copied the application system, the following happens: Relationships can now be found cross-application system. For instance a business function in AS2 can refer to another one in AS1. This is not the desired effect. We would like for AS2 to act independent of AS1.
Is this possible? Does anybody have any experience in this kind of matter? Designer version 9.0.4.5.6 is used. Any feedback would be more than welcome.
Kind regards from the Netherlands.

Hi Brett,
You can export the application system present in the 6i repository into a dump file using Export utility available under Utilities--> Export menu option in Repository Object Navigator and then import it into the 9i repository using the import utility available under Utilities--> Import menu option again in Repository Object Navigator.
If there are User Extensions in the 6i repository, then you will need to extract these User Extensions before exporting the application system and load these user extensions into the 9i repository before importing the dump into the repository.
Extracting and Loading of user extensions can be performed using the Extract User Extensions and Load User Extensions utilities available under User Extensions in Repository Administrative Utilit

Copied applications get generic icons?

Lately, since about 10.4, I've been having more and more problems with applications losing their characteristic icons when they are copied from one volume to another. Right now, I'm in the process of trying to migrate from a PowerMac G4 to a Mac Mini so it's especially annoying.
For example, I have an application named Shutterfly SmartUpload on my external firewire backup drive, which is currently mounted on my Mac Mini. It shows its characteristic icon. But when I copy it to my Mac Mini's hard drive, the copy shows up with the generic application icon (with the letter "A" made out of a pencil, brush and ruler). The copied application launches and functions perfectly.
1) WHY does this happen? 2) Under Mac OS 9 this would occasionally happen and the cure was to rebuild the desktop; what's the cure under Mac OS X?

Hi Daniel,
I would try first, a simple restart and a Permissions Repair, then if the problem persists,
a Disk Repair with Disk Utility, booting from the Tiger Install DVD.
If Disk Utility doesn't fix it, try then DiskWarrior.

Essbase Maintenance and copying applications

Good Morning
My question is in two parts. We are using Essbase version 11, ASO cubes
1) Is it ok to perform maintenance on your cubes while users are in the system? Reason I ask is that there have been times when changes need to be made right away, during the day, when the system is being utilized. If not, what is the optimal environment for making changes (adding an element to a dimension etc)
2) As part of our monthly maintenance - we normally create a copy of a cube, make changes to the copy, delete the original and copy the back up back
For example. I will have a cube called "REPORTING". I will make a copy of this and call it "BACKUP". I will then make the changes to "BACKUP". Once these are complete, I will delete the "REPORTING" cube, then I will copy the "BACKUP" cube and call it "REPORTING". This allows me to make changes with minimal delay to users. However, lately, when copying the cube I have been getting the following error message:
Cannot open object file: E:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\app\REPORTING\log\ess00001.dat
Failed to copy application [BACKUP]
The system will not longer allow me to copy the backup cube and call it REPORTING. It will let me copy it if I give it another name
Is my continual copying and deleting of applications ok? Or will it eventually corrupt the databases?
thanks as always for your expert opinions

Essbase will not let you restructure if there are active users on the cube

thanks as always for your expert opinionsI guess it depends on how you do the copies. What you describe is something that is done often. It soulnds like something got messed up in the copy. you could try stippong the apps and copying the file from the backup to the reporting app manually. The one thing can you lose by doing what you are is security.

How to use one application with multiple schema without copying application?

Hi,
Previously we are using oracle forms and by that we can manage by using a set of folders containing fmx and use different schema/database for different customers. so the source code comes from one individual file but used for different database users.
is it possible to do this without copying application in apex?
reason is because if applications are copied for each customer, and in a situation where a page has a bug, the developer must correct multiple pages across all the application. This would not be appropriate to manage.
could this be done in apex? or is there any other approach?

Hi,
An application is tied to its parsing schema, so it is not possible to have one code base which you can then point to different schemas. I have seen some threads relating to dynamically setting the parsing schema, but I don't think it has worked to well, and would not be a supported configuration by Oracle.
The normal way to do this is to have one schema and for each entity where it is logical you will have an extra key which is the customer id. I mention where it is logical, because not every entity needs its own data defined by customer. Some data will be common across all customers, such as lookup data and some entities will comprise child entities by which the data separation will be implied by the parent. You can then use Oracle's Virtual Private Database feature to implement a seperate view of the data through the application, based most likely on the customer who is logged on.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Andre

Error copying application.xml icons: .../bin-release/assets/icons' does not exist

Hi,
Whenever I try to export the release build I get error from COmpiler during the process that "Error copying application.xml icons: Resource '/Project_Name/bin-release/assets/icons' does not exist." I have specified 4 icons in the -app.xml file of sizes 16,32,48,128 which exist in the path specified and files are not corrupt. I have checked and unchecked the compiler directive "Copy non-embedded resources in the Output file" but that has not helped too.
Can somebody please advise what do I do in this situation?
We are using
FB4 with Flex Hero(4.5) SDK and java heap space specified in .ini files is 1224m
This is somewhat urgent guys...
Thanks
Shubhra

Frank,
Thank you for your answer. I had not checked (will do so tonight).
I had considered it adequate to wipe out the entire system directory (thereby wiping out the integrated weblogic server), but perhaps it was not adequate? I did not specify that this is on the integrated server, but that is the case....

Hello,
Do you have the HFM ADM drivers installed on the workspace server -- I believe if you do not have those installed then you are going to have some issues.

HFM EPMA application deployment aborted with error Object reference not set

HFM EPMA application deployment aborted with error Object reference not set to an instance of an object when trying to validate/deploy any HFM application in EPMA. This has started happending after we have deleted a Dimension in one of HFM applications. The deleted dimension is a shared dimension.
We are facing this issue in a distributed environment with version 11.1.2.1. This applications are built here newly.
Following is the error log entry

There was a bug in earlier releases for deleting dimensions with children, making the children orphans.
Heard from release notes that it has been fixed, but we are seeing this issue in 11.1.2.1 again.
Please help us out in resolving this error.

Hi,
I always ask this first, have you installed all the planning and epma patches as there have been many issues addressed in 9.3.1
Cheers
