Migrate from Hyperion using LCM utility in 11.1.2.1, error EPMLCM-37037

Dear All,
I want to import Artifact into HPCM application by using LCM utility.
Error occurred.
EPMLCM-37037: Listing file unavailable for file system repository - C:/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export/admin@Native Directory/JICPCM_20120817/resource.
Cannot process application artifact listing metadata. Source.
I have never seen this error before, do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Revert back to me as early as possible...

Samantha Z

Hello all,
Old thread but I just wanted to leave a comment in case it would be useful for others...
My "folder_to_import" was not in the default location "/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export/". I modified the Component.properties file, specifically editing the item "filesystem.artifact.path=D:\import_export_folder" to point to my import folder location. More detail on that can be found at Lifecycle Management Guide)
When attempting to browse the File System through the Shared Services console I was receiving the following error: "EPMLCM-37037:Listing file unavailable for file system repository - D:/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export/folder_to_import/RnA-Reporting and Analysis/resource."
The suggested solution of removing any spaces in the listing.xml file didn't help me. What finally solved my problem was changing my filesystem.artifact.path from "filesystem.artifact.path=D:\import_export_folder" to "filesystem.artifact.path=D:\import_export_folder/". Don't really understand why adding the forward slash at the end made the difference but I was able to browse my artifact listing after that change.

Hi Kimberly,
we went through the same uncertain information.
We have been starting fom 9.3.0.1
And YES we had to make the step migrating to 11.1.1.3.
We only performed the schema updates.
Steps in detail:
*11.1.1.3*
Copy Application (HFM)
DB Schema Update 9.3.3
DB Schema Update 11.1.1.3
Export/Import HFM Security
Export/Import (HSS)
Export/Import (HFR)
*11.1.2.1*
ORA DB Data Pump 1:1
Import Schema HFM and HBI
Copy RM1 Folder
Migration Utility for HFM and HFR
Create HSS Schema
Migration of HSS using LCM
We have a picture which describes it nicely. Let me know it you need it.
Regards,
Bernd

LCM utility.sh can be automated?

Hi,
LCM Utility - How to supply userid/password (to avoid prompting)
I have read the above thread.
I understand that once we enter UID and PWD during runtime the credentials will get stored in import.xml file.
Can we actually automate this for indivudual artifacts? Can we pass the UID and PWD to avoid prompting?
Suppose i have a situation where i have to migrate updated artifact in dev to prod.
Scenario :
I have updated a dataform in dev and exported it using LCM to a file system.
we get 3 objects now:
migrated folder
export.xml
import.xml
Now i have to automate the process of importing it to prod.
utility.sh import.xml. it prompts for UID and PWD.
Suppose i have to automate this stuff on a daily basis. Understand that every time i do a export i get a new import.xml file. In this situation i have to again enter UID and PWD.
Does anyone did this automation for individual artifacts?
Thanks in advance,
DS

You could write some thing that replaces the password in the xml file
<User name="" password=""/>
A piece of code could open the file look for password="" and then update it to the correct value which could even be the encrypted password.

How to run LCM Utility????

Hi,
I want to LCM utility to migrate WebAnalysis 9.3.1 reports from Test to Prod env. i searched for doc in oracle site but they are bit confusion(as im new to this Hyperion) can any one help me in porviding an easy to understand doc.......
Vijay....

Hi,
Personally I never had much success with LCM in 9.3.1, I am not saying you can't use it but it can take more time than its worth, it was not until V11 that it became a utility worth looking at.
If it is not many reports it might be easy just to export them from studio and then import them into your target environment.
I take it is this doc you are reading http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hss_alcm_util.pdf ?

Help - LCM Utility Error - Could not connect to source - Null

Has anyone successfully used LCM to extract BI+ objects to files under 9.3.1?
I've configured it as per the doc, and it seems to connect to HSS Ok, but fails to connect to BI+ even though I've used the Project name and App ID as shown in Shared Services.

LCM utility.bat

Hi John,
I had gone through your blog for LCM and also some other docs relating to it. Using the utility.bat is it only we can export the defined artifacts in the migration file? Can we import the artifacts into the target application?
My scenario is to automate migration of artifacts using LCM from one environment to another environment.

Hi,
First use the Shared service web interface to select the artifacts which you to migrate over from source to target and
save the migration file(.xml) after selecting the artifacts.
Move the .xml file to the target location where you have installed LCM and then use the utility.bat command to import the artifacts in the target application.
Automation can be done by calling the utility in a batch file and accepting the username and password in batch file
which is required at the time of running the utility.
You can also refer to the link below:

Thanks,

BusinessObjects Enterprise Lifecycle Manager (LCM) Tool - Feedback?

Lifecycle Manager Feedback Requested
Do you use the Life-Cycle Management (LCM) tool introduced with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1?
We're seeking feedback!
Any new features or enhancements you'd like to see in the tool, please go here:
[http://lcm.uservoice.com/]
Log on, add your ideas, and vote on the ideas already there!
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Hi
I am currently testing the BO LCM 3.1 and while it appears very easy to use especially for promotion, the Version Control Manager seems to be lacking in controls and a clear promotion path from dev to test to uat to prod.
We have set up 2 identical environments for UAT and PROD.
And using the Version Control part of LCM creating version control for a universe.
Logged into VM in UAT
We have selected a universe
Added it to VM
Made a change to the universe in Designer
Exported it
Then Checked it in
Can now see 2 versions in the history and the VMS Version. All good
I then click on swap system and log into PROD
The VM history is also there in PROD
I have a number of concerns and questions and can't seem to find the solution to them anywhere.
1. VM seems to be lacking a controlled process from all the environments. Basically we want to deploy following this path;
Dev - Test - UAT - PROD
There does not seem to be any controls or security which would stop you from GET VERSION from the DEV environment and putting that straight into PROD. Obviously we would not want that to happen.
We would only want to GET VERSION from UAT
Similarly for UAT We would only want to GET VERSION from TEST
And for TEST We would only want to GET VERSION from DEV.
Granted, we currently only have 2 identical environments.
But Is there controls that would stop you when in PROD from getting versions from any other system other than UAT?
Also is there any reason why no promotion is required when using VM.
This seems to negate the Promotion Function of the LCM
Any advise would be greatly appreciated with this.
Many thanks
Eilish

What should EI_ENGINE_CLASSPATH be set to ?

LCM’s utility.sh is called from inside Reporting and Analysis’ defined LCMUtility.sh script and always from a pre-specified location. To avoid this, do not run utility.sh outside the bin folder.

Check installation cosistency of Lifecycle Manager LCM

Hi guys,
we have the LCM installed, but I'm not sure, if it is correctly installed.
If I open CMC -> Applications I can see an entry LCM.
1) This entry has no description?!?!
2) I can't even set the user security for this application.
Can you please share your expereince with that? Is there a general way how to check an installation?
Please have a look into your installation and look if you have a description and if you can set user security for this application....thanks in advance!
Rg,
Christian

errr...
Maybe you could try another method to launch the Software Inventory tool :
1. Go to your java install dir (on windows default is C:\ProgramFiles\BusinessObjects\common\4.0\java\lib)
2. Launch this command (of course, adapting it to your env)
C:\ProgramFiles\BusinessObjects\javasdk\bin\java -Djava.library.path=.\external -Xmx256M -jar "C:\ProgramFiles\BusinessObjects\common\4.0\java\lib\softwareInventory.jar" gui

LCM utility taking more time to start

Hi All,
In Hyperion System 9.3.1 when running the LCMUtility.bat file in Hyperion Home\BIPLUS\bin folder it is taking nearly 8-10 minutes to start up the process. The shared services, IR, Core services are in the single box. Even though it is taking time to initialize, it ends with success.
Could anyone please let me know what could be the possible reason why it is taking 8-10 minutes of time to start the process?
Thanks,
Sree
