Migrating Application From One Server to Another

I am trying to migrate an app from our dev environment to our test environment. The app already exists on the test environment. Is there a way to just overwrite what is on the test environment, or do I have to delete or rename the old one. I am using Essbase Administration Service to do the migration.

Best Way to Migrate an application from one server to another

I couldn't seem to find the best way to this by Googling. If you have two instances of Sun Web Server 7, and you want to migrate a web application from one server to another, what is the best way to that?

I am sorry. My question was poorly worded after some hours of frustration. What I am really trying to do is develop a base virtual machine snapshot with Sun Web Server Loaded and a base set of applications.
When the need arises, I need to deploy another VM and start it up. There seems to be some issue with the host name of the VM and the administration server, or something. It is my impression that as longs as I have everything contained in one directory like /webserver, I should be able to copy everything to a new machine and start it up. I know I need the listeners listening on all ip addresses and the jdk being used would need to be in that directory as well. Is there anything I am missing here or that I need to watch out for?

Import of the application from one server to another

Hi There,
I have imported my application from one server to another.
Now when I am trying to log in to the application using the previous credentials, it simply reloads the log in page and it doesn't give invalid user name and password error also.
It just simply load the log in page once again.
What should I do? Where am I going wrong?
Please help!!
Thanks in advance

Migrate tracks from one server to another

Hello, I've read a few guides how to migrate tracks from one server to another, but it doesn't help me.
What I've done:
1) I've exported my SC from SLD at my old server
2) Then imported it at my new server
3) Updated CMS from SLD
4) Created a track at my new server and added imported SC
Then I have to import my SC from old server with sources and there is some errors happens for me.
First option: I have exported my SC from CMS, but the SCA file is about 5kB. I unzipped it and there was ARCHIVESOURCE folder but it hasn't anything seems to be my sources. That file is checked-in successfully through the transport studio, but no sources imported into DTR.
Second option: I have exported the SCA file by using NWDS. It's exported OK, size ~1.3MB, ARCHIVESOURCE folder with mine sources. But when I try to check-in it, it fails with an error "import failed, because the sources are not contained in the archive
Could anybody helps me to achieve my task? I stuck with source import.

Hi Kirill,
important to know that assembly ALWAYS uses the CONS/ACTIVE workspace for SCA generation.
If you for instance create a change (an activity), and you activate and release it but you don't import this activity into CONS, then it won't be part of the CONS/active and then due to obvious reasons assembly won't produce the sources either (no possibility to do an explicit activation on cons level as here a force activation takes place at import, but of course the import into cons is a necessary step, because as mentioned assembly uses the cons/active).
Can you please confirm/deny how this scenario looks like on your end?
Thank you!
Best Regards,
Ervin

Process for migrating CMSDK from one server to another

All:
We are in the process of migrating our CMSDK installation and database from one server to another. In doing so, we would like to retain our documents and folders and other custom objects that have been created till date. If there is a recommended migration process that you could point us to, it would be greatly appreciated.
Our initial thought is to:
1. Install the CMSDK server on the target server machine
2. Export source CMSDK schema from source database server
3. Import source CMSDK schema into target database server
Are we on the right track? If so, are there any pitfalls and issues we can expect to encounter. Any information will be very helpful.
Thanks

The utility should help you a lot. The best documentation on how to use the utility is in the 9iFS Setup and Administrators guide (doc number A95995-01) Chapter 8. It pretty much works the same way then as it does now. These are two metalink notes on doing the export/import silently (29928.1 - 177816.1). Doing it silently is very tedious since you having to create numerous .def files and other scripts to run them.
I will look around for any other stuff I have, but the 9iFS document is very good as a reference no matter what version of CMSDK. If you have problems finding it, I can try to send it to you, but it is around 5.6M.

Migration databases from one server to another

Hi All
I want to migrate our 8 production databases from one server to another server. these are in RAC .Details are below
OLD SERVER: -
OS: REDHAT LINUX 3
ORACLE: ORACLE 10gR1
FILE SYSTEM : OCFS
STORAGE: SAN
Its a RAC databases
NEW SERVER: -
OS: REDHAT LINUX 5
ORACLE: ORACLE 11g R2
FILE SYSTEM:ASM
STORAGE:SAN ( fresh one)
Its also RAC DATABASES
So please tell me the best method to migrate 8 databases from old server to another server . all databases size are not more than 50 GB.
All servers details are above .please let me know if you require any other details
please reply soon we have to do it on urgent basis

Since all your databases are small (< 50G), I would recommend using expdp/impdp - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17222/expimp.htm - as this will provide several advantages as listed in the document.

Transporting an application from one server to another

Would like to find out what's the best practice for transporting/migrating a forms/workflow application from one LC-ES server to another.
This is the process that I know of:
1) export the application (create an LCA file)
2) import the LCA to the 2nd server
3) use Archive management to set up a TaskManager endPoint
4) set up the Security (add principals)
then the application can be launched from the WorkSpace of the 2nd server.
Steps (3) and (4) are tedious "manual" steps, is there a better way? Is there a "export/import" type of procedure for (3) and (4)? Is there a more automated procedure for the entire migration process?
thanks
James

No. That's the right way to do it with the current version.
There will be improvements in the next release to address 3) and 4).

Migrating Planning from one server to another

We are in 11.1.1.3. I had the planning repository copied from one server (server1) to another (server2). also had the shared services and the EAS repository copied from server 1 to server 2. When I open Planning in Server 2, I see the name of the planning app in Server 1 and the data source connection also shows connection to server 1. How can I fix this to point to server 2? Thanks.

You just cannot change the name of application like that. If you need to change the name of application, you needed to do this before migration.
Lets say your source app is S and target is T. Application owners for S and T HAVE to be same (use external user if possible)
1. Create application T
2. Copy relation database from S to T
3. Copy Essbase database from S to T
4. log on to T and make sure its pointing to correct shared services instance
This will ensure the application has been migrated excluding business rules and security. This was the old way to do this. In v11, you should be using LCM. It might be little quirky if you have duplicates names (such as task list, web forms) but it does work. We have used LCM to migrate application successfully and its very easy to use.

Error in Accessing Clustered Essbase Application from one server to another

We had installed the Foundation services, Essbase and Planning of version 11.1.2.1 on one server and Foundation services and Essbase on another server. Then we created a clustered Application on the first server and configured the second server with the first server's Essbase Cluster. But when we try to connect with the application created within the cluster it throws the following error:
Error: 1042032: Network Error: Unable to detect ESSBASE server listening on IPv4 or IPv6 network protocols on hostname - [EssbaseCluster-1]

What Robert is saying is that you need to map your production server in order to see it.
In your Dev EAS console,
right-click on Essbase Servers
select Add Essbase Server
enter in the connection information
press OK.
Please be sure to mark the correct and/or any helpful answers.

Migrating OWB from one server to another

We are migrating Oracle 10.2 DB+10.1 OWB from Server A (production) to Server B (proposed production).
steps performed:
1. cloned the db to the destination server (B).
2. installed 10.1 OWB on destination server (B).
Note that OWB in server A does nightly data load.
While configuring Server B, do I need to create a fresh OWB repository OR there is a way to clone OWB settings from Server A to Server B?
Pl help.

actually i did this many times
im not sure if there is a way to migrate the repository
but i used to build a fresh one each time,
i think this is a better methodology to build a new one because you will need to better assign the table spaces at the new server.
Please let me know if you find a way to migrate that
all the luck

Oracle db Migration from one server to another

Can any body guide me why companies migrate Oracle db from one server to another , & what is the process for doing that?

In that case, something has changed, right? The need to have a standby server has become important.
Next steps:
- define the real business requirements (why do we think we want to spend money on a spare server? why should the money go to a hardware company, instead of an increase in my salary? what benefit are they looking for?)
- see whether any known ideas or alternatives fit the requirements, see whether the backup should be a standby server, a hot failover server, or some other backup mode;
- go to the Oracle Technet site, look under the Product Centers: Database area to see whether there are any related topics (such as 'availability', as one of the logical reasons for a backup is to make the application more avaliable); check in that area for any white papers; read the white papers to formulate an idea, write down interesting keywords;
- look in the Oracle docuentation, list of books, to see whether there are any books specifically dealing with that topic (such as Oracle Data Guard);
- use Google to search for the combination of 'Oracle backup' and the interesting keyword and study several of the sites;
- form a basic plan;
- go to expert and trusted sources (these forums, OraFaq.com), post a plan and ask for feedback.
There are literally dozens of alternatives. Research and find the one(s) that are right for your situation. That includes the technical as well as the financial reasons.
More than anything, that means you need to learn to ask the right question. And that often means asking the same question several different ways, and attempting to answer each variation yourself to see how the answer solves your specific needs.

Best Practice for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi All,
I would like to know what is the Best pratice for Migration of BO from One server to another.
i have Installed BO Xi R2 on my server.
Thanks,
Anendu Bothra
Edited by: Anendu Bothra on Mar 5, 2009 10:24 AM

You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
Choose Copy, then click OK.
Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
password).
When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

Migration of company code from one server to another

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in the process of migrating company code from one server to another server. We have activated the company code with ewt in old server on 01.10.10. We have to migrate the same company w.e.f. 01.11.10 to new server.
we have two options one is to migrate the company without ewt activation where we can take all the open items and trial balance and then activate ewt and do the required health check up in ewt.
second option is to activate the ewt and then migrate , here the issue is that if open items are migrated after ewt activation the tds gets calculated again.
In indian scenario we have to pay the tds (challan updation) by 7th of next month, if we migrate then this is not possible because in the new server we do not have the data in the table required for clearing the entries. We are thinking of doing the challan updation in the old server itself.
Can you suggest us the option through which we can migrate the company code. If you have any other option then please suggest.
Prashant P. Zinge

Issue in migrating analysis service job from one server to another

Hi All,
I'm migrating analysis services from one server to another, within the source server there is a job with the name
denreportingprocess which executes a batch file within local drive on server. I have moved all the analysis services cubes from the source server to destination and all the databases on the source server have been restored to destination.Verified
cubes are pointing to the correct database by modifying the connection string within the datasource part of the cube databases.
I have copied the entire process folder from source to destination and edited the code within the run file and code within the job pointing the locations to new server.
Below is the job code, it is running a batch file placed in E drive
E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\run.cmd
Below is the text within the batch file (windows command script)
E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\ASCMD -S "servername" -i "E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\Process.xmla"
-o "E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\Log.txt"
Below are the list of files within the folder E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process
ASCMD
process.xmla
Logs.txt
run
When I run the job it is failing with below error message
Ascmd: Exception trying to impersonate user: Access to the path 'E:\MSSQL10_50.MSQLSERVER\process\log.txt' is denied.
Ascmd: Execution failed: Access to the path 'E:\MSSQL10_50.MSQLSERVER\process\log.txt' is denied.

Hi Visakh,
