LCM import destination

Hello,
I'm tasked with using LCM to export all my IR reports from Prod and import into my Dev environment. Both environments are 11.1.2.2. This is my first experience using Shared Services and LCM so please bear with me if my questions do not provide enough information. I'm trying to learn by doing here
My (very) basic steps to this: Prod Shared Services I select Repository Objects > Export > Transfer export files to my Dev File System > Dev Shared Services select the file from the File System node > Import
My question is: Can I change the import location for the artifacts? I want to copy all of the Prod repository items (along with the folder structure) into a single folder in my Dev environment. E.g. all my reports in Prod under \Prod_Root\Folder1\ and \Prod_Root\Folder2\ I want to import into \Dev_Root\Testing_Folder\Folder1\ and \Dev_Root\Testing_Folder\Folder2\
Thanks in advance!
Also, just to be clear, I am NOT trying to change the import_export folder location.

Thanks for the response Celvin.
My current dev environment was an import of prod (done prior to my arrival). So my root folder structure is almost identical. However, these reports have been modified and replaced in between then and now. I want to keep these folders/files intact so that the developers can continue working on them and not be affected by my work. My goal is to import the complete folder structure with files from Prod into a separate folder in Dev under root. When I import now from Prod it just overwrites my current folder in Dev. If I could just import and rename I would rather that than messing with the xml but I don't think that is an option in my situation.

LCM import of Planning Application Hangs with "In Progress Status"

Hi,
LCM import of Planning Application Hangs with "In Progress Status" . its already couple of hours. Earlier it was always within 10 mins.
Any advise is appreciated.
Regards,
Vineet

It is probably worth trying again, may be useful to first bounce the services.
If it happens again after bouncing the services then investigate at what staging it is getting stuck at.

My internal "A" drive is not listed as an import destination

I have 7 internal drives/partitions labledl a, c, f, i,k,, L and n
In LR 2 I had no issues importing directly to the A drive. For some reason, LR 3 does not list my "A" drive is as an import destination. It allows me to hit the + sign and
"add" a new folder. But I am actually just clicking through the folders until I get to the folder on the A drive that I need. After import that destination is still not reflected in the choices.
I can change the drive letter but before I go through that effort (it affects other programs too) I wanted to see if anyone had a work around.
I am guessing this is a bug. LR may not look for drive starting with a or b since they precede the typical system drive letter of C. Not sure why but I am just guessing here.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Kevin

Import destination greyed out

I am well up the learning curve on Aperture, but still cannot figure out how to designate import destination. "Destination" in the "Aperture Library" block of "Import Settings" says "New Project" but is greyed out and I cannot type in it to make the change. At the bottom of the Import Settings pane there is a notice that Aperture will import the file(s) into a new project which has the name of an old project I deleted early on. I tried various combinations of settings in "Aperture/Preferences". I have been googling and searching here for several weeks on and off. What am I missing here? Thanks.

Frank -- thanks. So it is an Apple design feature:
"http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3380 When Aperture imports from an iPad, it uses Autosplit to maintain the iPad's album structure, rather than splitting images by date. This is usually only an issue if you use a camera connection kit to capture images from a camera to various albums on iPad. If you do not use a camera connection kit, you will likely only see images in the iPad's Saved Photos album. In this case, Aperture creates a single project named for the date of the oldest image in the Saved Photos album. Note: Aperture does not import photos you have already synced to iPad via iTunes; those photos will not be visible in Aperture's import window."
But I still wish I could control the destination folder for iPad imports. I don't use it much as a computer, but I often save photos to the iPad's camera folder from emails sent by family and friends. My kludgy workaround is to let Aperture import the iPad's selected photos to that destination project (named by Aperture for the oldest photo's date in the photos selected for import) and then drag them from that project to where I want them to be, then delete the project. Lot of extra steps.
Because I am a low volume photographer, I prefer to import my photos from cameras and the iPad to a fixed project I call "A Imported Photos for Sorting" and deal with them there. I use the "A" to keep this project at the top of the list for easy finding.

LCM Import

Going from one environment to the other I get this error,
Location:- ERPI-102173:Import for Location failed...
I would hate to think I need to create all the Locations manually so I can import all the other Scripts/Formats, etc...that's why I just started with the Location...
Suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi beyourbest,
I think that you'll probably need to check the LCM import log to see why the import failed. There are all sorts of dependencies that are required and LCM is unfortunately not intelligent enough to point out any potentially missing dependencies at the export stage like the DRM migration utility would do. A bit of a fail IMHO
You usually need to start of by ensuring that any source and target applications exist before importing anything into FDMEE that depends upon the applications. The LCM logs after the import failure will usually give you pointers about exactly why an import failed so that would be the first place to check for me and then take it from there.

Exporting and Importing Destination Controls Error

When I export table within destination control and import the table to another Ironport again within destination control I receive error - "Wrong format of the destination config file: ip_sort_pref is required for the global settings."
We are updating the ASYNC on each of our de clustered Ironport. So when one is not in use we need the other to handle all the traffic, including domain controls.
The output displays
[ABCDE.com]
max_host_concurrency = 500
limit_apply = system
limit_type = host
max_messages_per_connection = 50 ......
How can I import this without losing or altering the data within.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Solution
We upgrade one of our SMTP ASYNC to 8.0.1 which creates a additional line within default of the upgraded Ironport exported control destination table that is named... wait for it.... ip_sort_pref. Just add it.

The applications and drivers have been imported into the Dev SCCM server however I cannot find the actual content so I am not sure this has worked properly.
When you exported did you choose to "Export all content for selected task sequence and dependencies".
80070003 = The system cannot find the path specified.
See here for exporting and importing task sequences

Aperture Import destination grayed out when importing from iPad

I'm trying to import a bunch of photos from my iPad. I want to dump them all in one project in Aperture, but after selecting the iPad from the import source list, it grays out the options to select the destination. It also grays out the option to uncheck the Autosplit events. I do not want to do this import and then have to go back and merge 20 projects. Any ideas?

It' how Aperture works with the iPad see Aperture 3: Photos are not split into projects by date when importing from iPad as well as other threads here asking similar questions

LCM import error

Planning 11.1.2.2.303, all planning services run on windows, essbase and Oracle tables run on linux.
I am trying to move a classic application from one environment to a new environment. I have exported all the "Planning" components from the source environment.
In the new environment I have created the new application (slighlty different app name, but same DB names) thru the planning web wizard, and defined all 11 dimensions, set performance and evaluation order.
I am trying to import the LCM information to fill in the rest of the applicaiton and am receiving this error on the import...
EPMLCM-30047: Failed to connect to "[none] " while performing import for application - "USROTRD". Received status code - 500 with error message - "LCM engine did not provide a migration Id. "
for all object types.
I have searched My Oracle Support KM, Google, etc, with no information on this error. Does anyone know what this means?
TIA,
Robert

I have tried it both ways.
The first time I parsed thru the xml files and changed the application name (thankfully the app name was unique enough that a simple find/replace was all that was needed). When I did it this way there were only some objects that were receiving the error, mainly those objects associated with the plan2 cube (but not all objects for plan2 cube). I looked thru some of those xml files and it appears that all looks good as far as app/db names and folder locations.
The second time I simply tried exporting the old app name and loading to the new app from that directly and then the error shows for what seems to be all objects.
Robert
Is that the same message repeated for all objects( after you replaced the old app with new app)? Did you check the log files to see whether there are any other?

Can LCM import form security?

We are on Hyperion Planning 11.1.2 and used LCM to migrate and app from UAT to Prod. We migrated all artifacts over, but the form security is not there. We see the groups when we try to add access, but the access is not on the form folders themselves as they are in UAT. Is LCM able to import the security for forms like the dimension security? Thanks in advance.

Yes. LCM can import form and form folder security. I tend to export to the file system first. That way, I can see exactly what's in the XML files, plus I have an arcihve of what got migrated.
If you export to the file system first, you should see form and form folder security in the following directory:
resource\Security\Access Permissions
In that folder there will be a Users.xml file, and also a directory for Groups. If you look in the XML, you should see security assigned for forms and folders.
Hope this helps,

My raid drive is not showing up as a import destination anymor

Hi Guys,
I recently put two 4tb drives into mirror mode to raid my library for protection. My problem is on import. When I go to import the photos from my source, usually directly from my camera, I do not show my now B: drive as a destination. Just my C drive. When I plug in an external drive, that one shows up as a destination, but not my internal raid. What gives?

Try renaming that drive with a letter further down the alphabet and see what happens.

Camera import -- destination often changes

when I import from my camera - I have it copy into a partitioned drive's folder - but Lr often forgets that and instead copies to my C drive's pictures folder (or whatever the default Windows folder is)
how can I convince Lr that I never want to copy my photos there - but instead into my customised folder?
Thank-you

Ian,
Just a thought: could it be that the users who are having the problems of lack of stickyness (of various sorts) have drives that go to sleep when they haven't been accessed for a while? I've seen several posts about Version 3 randomly taking old defaults, and perhaps this version tries to fail gracefully when it can't find the file it's looking for where it remembers it to be. In that situation, doing anything but notifying the user and requesting directions would have to be considered a bug. (As would not handling the common situation of drives that are able to "sleep".)

Essbase filter assignment while importing the security through LCM

Hi Experts,
My source server is Essbase standalone 11.1.2.1 and my destination is Essbase 11.1.2.4, obviously shared services security.
I just created some test users/ groups/ filters in 11.1.2.4 and did export through LCM and got the actual format of users/ groups/ roles CSV files. Then I just did edit all these CSV files with my source 11.1.2.1 users/ groups details with the respective roles and tried importing it in the same 11.1.2.4 server.
I was successfully able to create all the users groups and its roles assignment. But I got stuck up with the filter assignment for the groups... I mean my groups are assigned with the role 'Filter' at the 11.1.2.4 environment but I dont know how to get the actual filter assigned to these groups.
I know in Applications group we can assign filters manually using Assign access control but how to do it with the LCM import itself? is there any options/ tricks available or do we need to do it only by manually?
Thanks,
Siva

Not tried the maxl create group but it is deprecated in 11.1.2.4
Anyway there is nothing wrong with groups in EAS 11.1.2.4

Can't see some Business Rules after running the Import via LCM

I am trying to migrate our Business Rules down from Prod to Dev to get them back in sync. Here is the steps I have run:
Export ALL Business Rules and Sequences from Prod via LCM
I confirmed the export directory contains an .xml file for EACH Rule.
copied the export directory down to Dev Shared Services server
Turned on DEBUG for Shared Services
Deleted ALL Business Rules and Sequences from Dev EAS BR repository
I confirmed that ALL BUsiness Rules are listed and checked in LCM Import.
run the Import from Dev Shared Services via LCM
I get a Completed successfully message. No Errors.
I Refresh Rules in Dev EAS and I only see 25% of the Business Rules listed.
I have tried to Stop/Restart the EAS services and still nothing.
I confirmed that the ID I am using to Export / Import has access on each Business Rule either directly or via a Group that has access.
Any thoughts??
Thanks in advance for any assistance on this!
Robert

Thanks John!
I was really trying to get it done via LCM since I have all other migrations being done there. but I ended up taking your advice and doing it the old fashion way via EAS export.
To answer your questions:
We are on 11.1.1.3
I did not see any problems in the Services logs for EAS. Nothing that stood out.
We are migratiing 66 Rules and 15 Sequences.
We are using Weblogic instead of Tomcat.
Even though I have a workaround for the issue I am still interested in understanding why some of them did not import via LCM. You mentioned that you might consider adjusting some config settings. What settings would you recommend looking at?
Thanks again John!
Robert
