LCM remigration of deleted application fails to deploy in EPMA 11.1.1.3

Question

I am trying to copy a production planning application via LCM which has previously migrated successfully. Then I export the Shared Services, EPMA and Planning artifacts, delete the appliction in the target Workspace, then load Shared Services and EPMA artifacts in the target Hyperion instance. When I try to deploy the application, I get the following error:
Detail : An Exception occurred during Application deployment.: The Hyperion Essbase operation failed with an error code: %ERROR_CODE%.com.hyperion.planning.olap.EssbaseException: Unable to load database [%s] (1002097)
     at com.hyperion.planning.olap.HspCubeRefreshTask.setActiveDatabase(Unknown Source)
     at com.hyperion.planning.olap.HspCubeRefreshTask.buildOutlines(Unknown Source)
     at com.hyperion.planning.olap.HspCubeRefreshTask.run(Unknown Source)

     at com.hyperion.planning.appdeploy.HspSaxParsedAppDefinition.deployAppFromXML(Unknown Source)
     at com.hyperion.planning.appdeploy.HspAppDefinition$1.run(Unknown Source)
BTW, this is running on Linux, except for EPMA which must run on Windows of course. Is there something I am doing wrong here? It seems strange that it works fine on an installation that has never had the planning application deployed before.
Thanks,

I was talking about the Essbase application itself, not Essbase agent.
You can browse the applications and open the outlines in EAS, even if your application/database is stopped.
Make sure you have a green check mark on both the Essbase application and database icon in EAS.
