Migrating planning artifacts from 11.1.3.3 to 11.1.2.2.

Hi,
I am migration planning application from 11.1.3.3 to 11.1.2.2 . I am trying to use LCM to migrate the artifact using shared service but while importing all the components are grayed out.
Can you please let me know how to migrate artifacts from 11.1.3.3 to 11.1.2.2.
Thanks.

LCM migrations are not actually supported between different versions, though saying that is it usually possible to get most artifacts migrated, you may need to edit some of the xmls.
If you perform an export on the target you get an idea of the format that is required for the import to work.
Cheers

Upgrade/Migrate Planning application from 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3

I have installed 11.1.2.3 on Window 2008 R2 servers. Our old environment is on 11.1.1.1 is still up and running on different server(windows 2003). I have successfully completed the following:
1.     All Hyperion products (HSS,BIPLUS,CALC MGR,EPMA,Planning,FDME installed successfully and everything working fine.
2.     I am able migrate the all FR reports successfully(Export/Import method) and Yet to test the reports after application migration.
3.     I created Planning apps in the new system which is similar to old application , I can open the Planning Application Administrator via WorkSpace URL.
My question :1) Can i migrate Planning repository DB schema from SQL server 2005 to New application schema on SQL server 2008.
                            (There is any update required before and all the repository table of 11.1.2.3 similar to 11.1.1.1
                   2) How can i migrate the Business rules to Calc manager(.i.e 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3)
                   3)How can i migrate the FDM application (.i.e 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3)
Please let me know if you need any further information.

First of all 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3 direct migration is not supported so if you have issue upgrading planning then unfortunately that may be the reason.
SQL Server 2005 to 2008 should be ok but if you are concerned then upgrade the sql server 2005 version to 11.1.2.3 then use LCM to change database versions.
Business Rules read the following support doc - "Hyperion Business Rules (HBR) to Calculation Manager Migration White Paper (Doc ID 1528121.1)"
FDM - Upgrade utility.

Best Way to migrate Planning application from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2

Hello Gurus,
What is the best way to move or upgrade the planning applications from EPM 11.1.1.3 to EPM 11.1.2.2 ?
Is there an option to use LCM to move the planning application by exporting it from EPM 11.1.1.3 and then importing it in EPM 11.1.2.2 .
I think there are many functions that are deprecated in EPM 11.1.2.2,hence it fails with errors.
I would like to know if there is any other way around.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
HyperEPM

If you are on 11.1.1.3 classic using Essbase business rules, you are forced to convert to calculation manager. You can't use Essbase Business Rules in 11.1.2.2.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_1112200/frameset.htm?launch.html see the "Business Rules Maintenance Release and Upgrade Installation Prerequisites"
Personally I would rewrite them to be safe - yes it takes longer but you know its safe and probably a good time to revisit it anyway.

Migration of Planning Applications from 9.2 to 11.1.12

Hi All,
How to see the installed Planning version (applications, and all objects)?
Actually We were trying to migrate planning applications from 9.2 ( planning web and 1.5.0.0034 is desktop) to 11.1.1.2 version. I have followed steps as follows
1) Create the users as per earlier planning application in SS (optional assume)...I didn't do.
2) Creating Database(DB) for New Planning application
3) Create Data source connection to the created DB for creating application
4) Create the application in planning in accordance with outline of given backup files
5) Restore DB.bak file from backup into newly created DB
6) Restart planning service
7) Open Planning web application, after login you can see migrate option there...click it
But when I click that migrate button, I wondered to see that it is throwing the following error....
"The application Version is invalid. Existing version : 4.1.1, Expecting version 11.1.1.2"
Please advise...
Appreciate your responses on the same.
Thank you

We have tried this but are unable to log in to the v11 planning app after copying the 9.x schema. updatuserd.cmd fails with a comment in the log about v9/v11 version mismatch.
In v9, our users are via an LDAP server and in v11, they will be via AD so the users can't possibly match anyway.
We are wondering how it is possible to migreate our v9 Planning apps to v11 now ...

How to migrating planning applications version 9.2.0 to 11.1.1.3 directly

Hi All
Please help.
Can be migrated Planning applications from version 9.2.0 to version 11.1.1.3 directly?
There is documentation that explains the process?
Attentive to your comments
Regards
Pedro
Edited by: user13040806 on 06-feb-2013 5:48

Hi Pedro,
The quick way, assuming you are using Classic Planning Administration in 11.1.1.3 is to export the application schema and Essbase data & objects from the 9.2.0 environment and import into the new environment.
Thanks,
Andy

Issue in migration of Planning artifacts through LCM

Hi,
I am trying to migrate EPMA planning application from development server to production server. I am using LCM for the migration and have taken export of the HSS, EPMA, Planning and FR & WA artifacts. I am now importing these artifacts in to production server, however I can not proceed with migration of Planning artifacts through Migration Wizard as I got stuck on the "Destination" step where I got message as "There is no destination available to migrate".
Please guide me on this...
Thanks & Regards,
AK

Hi John,
Please refer to my comments to reply:
Break down the migration into product areas first, start with HSS and then migrate, then move on to planning and HSS, this should narrow down where the issue is
That is what I am doing - I am migrating the artifacts separately i.e. I migrated the HSS first then migrated EPMA Architectue and at last I tried migrating the Planning artifacts during which I got stuck with selection of "Destination" for Planning artifacts.
+"The planning applications need to exist first on your target environment."+
For this I need to create a planning application manually before migrating, and since my planning application is EPMA enabled application and not a classic application I guess I should not create a planning application manually before starting migration. Please guide me on how can I ensure that planning application exist before migrating the same on to target environment
Thanks & Regards,
AK

Migration of Planned Orders from one SAP system to another one

Hi,
A quick help needed.
We are migrating SAP data from one SAP system to other due to business split. Regarding PP data, can Planned orders be migrated as it is from one SAP System to another? What is the impact if we do so?
Appreciate your response.
Kind Regards,
tanuji

hi ,
As suggested , you can propose to migrate only Firmed Planned orders from SAP to SAP system .
How to acheive it ?
You can use below BAPI to extract details of planned order from Table PLAF and upload in TARGET SYSTEM
BAPI_PLANNEDORDER_CREATE
Please note newly created Planned order in Target system would not have BOM EXPLOSION and Scheduling .
If need , Make a BDC recording as a add on step to explode Bom and Schedule by clicking those icons in Planned order .
Technical Team can do this .

How to migrate Planning from Production to Disaster-Recovery server?

We are using Planning 11.1.1.3 Oracle repository. Presently our DR Planning Application name is different than production's name, and the DR's Windows server names are different from Production's. Otherwise, all other configuration the same.
How do we migrate Planning from Production to Disaster-Recovery server? We stopped Planning on DR server. Then we exported production planning Oracle repository and imported it to DR Planning. We restarted DR's Planning. DR planning seems to be running fine, but I am afraid to click "Refresh Planning" on DR Planning - it might update Production server. So how can I be sure DR and Production planning are disconnected ?
Is there anything we need to do? This method seems to be faster than migrating with LCM.
Edited by: Essbase Fan on Oct 18, 2010 10:11 AM

You are definitely go about it the correct way, if you are migrating the whole planning application I have to agree it is a safer and quicker route.
The connection information to essbase is stored in the planning system database/schema so as long as you have not migrated that then you should be good to refresh.
To put your mind at rest, log into the planning application and edit the datasource associated with the application then you will see where the essbase server is it is going to refresh.

My 10.6 Upgrade and OD Migration plan

Hi, I wish to share my 10.6 upgrade/migration plan in order to get feedback/comments from people who may have insight/experience doing the same and thus be able to offer advice as to whether my plan is solid or if there's anything I should add/change and any potential pitfalls.
Background:
We have:
200 x clients
1 x OD/Mail/Firewall/PrimaryDNS/etc server - 10.5.8 (hereafter referred to as ODS1)
1 x File Server - 10.5.5 (hereafter referred to as FS1)
(current 80GB HDDs in these servers to be upgraded to 1TB)
Reason for upgrade is ODS1 causes all kinds of issues:
- OD seems to be corrupt (people sometimes can't log in, accounts can't be deleted in workgroup manager)
- Mail service only comes up sometimes at random intervals upon restart (i.e. sometimes takes half an hour, sometimes won't come up for a whole day or not at all.)
Unable to solve these issues and decided to upgrade this server to 10.6.7 in the hopes of solving problems. We will also move OD to a separate virtual machine in the process - theory being that if OD has problems we can restart the server without affecting Mail and vice versa.
Restrictions on upgrade:
ODS1 is an XServe with two network cards (external and internal interfaces for Firewall) and Mail Store & User Directories is on Fibre Channel attached XServe RAID which means:
- I don't want to buy another fibre channel card so Mail Service has to remain on this XServe unless I move the mail store
- FW preferably to stay on here because this XServe has 2 network interfaces.
Luckily, very few users use the servers on the weekend so I don't have to worry about taking servers down for the upgrade.
Plan:
1. Prepare our new 10.6.7 Open Directory Master. This will be a virtual machine running through Parallels Bare Metals on an XServe
Set hostname “ldap.ourcompany.com”.
Set static IP address
Install all the latest updates.
Set up as DNS master – import all entries, but change ldap.ourcompany.com to point to this machine.
Set up Open Directory Master with correct SearchBase, etc.
Disable any other services that we don’t need.
2. Export Users and Groups from ODS1 through Workgroup Manager
3. Import Users and Groups to new server through Workgroup Manager
3.5. Run script to set all passwords from our list (Yes I have a list - and I know this is not best practice)
4. Test: by binding a new computer to this server and logging in with a user account set up on this server.
5. Backup
Make a backup copy of the new OD Master virtual machine.
On ODS1 and FS1, export all settings from Server Admin onto a thumb drive
Make an archive of Open Directory onto a thumbdrive (Server Admin -> Open Dir -> Archive Tab)
Copy from ODS1 onto some external HDD: Mail store and home directories locted on Fibre Channel attached storage
Run mailbfr –b /Path/to/backup/volume –full
Clone ODS1 HDD onto 1TB HDD using a caddy
Clone FS1 HDD onto 1TB HDD using a caddy
Remove HDD’s in ODS1 and FS1 and replace with clones and blank 1TB HDDs.
Implement new OD Master
6. Update ldap.ourcompany.com DNS entry to point to new server.
7. On ODS1, change Open Directory Role to Replica.[2]
8. On FS1, reconfigure Open Directory Replica.
9. On ODS1, change DNS role to replica and point tonew OD/DNS Master[3]
10. On FS1, change DNS replica to point to new DNS
11. On FS1, change DHCP to supply new DNS serveraddresses.
12. Test:
DHCP supplied LDAP on new computer.
Mail
Logging into accounts from existing computers
AFP
13. Backup again (so if next step fails we have at least achieved setting up new OD server)
Clone FS1 and ODS1 to blank internal 1TB drives.
Swap HD and Backup drive names and change start-up disk in System Prefs to newly named HD disk on both FS1 and ODS1, and restart, effectively testing the clones.
14. Upgrade ODS1 to 10.6.7
15. Change ODS1 DNS role to replica and point to newOD Master so that it has a working DNS service during the upgrade process.
16. Upgrade ODS1 to 10.6.7 in-place with CD
17. Check Mail settings before starting it.
18. Test:
Mail
Logging into accounts
Firewall
DNS Replica
VPN
Our Company custom scripts previously handled by Lingon (Any alternative to Lingon in 10.6?)
iChat
iCal
Software Update
WebMail
19. Point new OD Master’s Software Update to upgraded ODS1
20. Go Home!
Any advice?

Ok modified new plan, changes include:
- FS1 gets upgraded to 10.6 as well
- no "backup again" done - this will never be a point we roll back seeing that 10.5 can't be replica of 10.6
- software update added
- clean installs rather than in-place upgrades so that we start afresh and hopefully not importing the many problems we were facing on 10.5
- other little changes
Everthing up to before the "Upgrade FS1" section is done in normal working hours while clients are using the servers and from then onwards, on a weekend.
Prepare our new 10.6 Open Directory Master virtualmachine
Set hostname to “ldap.ourcompany.com”.
Set static IP address 192.168.30.30
Install all the latest updates.
Set up as DNS master – import all entries, butchange ldap.ourcompany.com to point to this machine.
Set up Open Directory Master with correct SearchBase, etc.
Disable any other services that we don’t need.
Export Users and Groups from ODS1 through Workgroup Manager
Import Users and Groups to new server
Run script to set all passwords
Change Home Directories to “None” or if this fails, to a location on the local HDD. (We use mobile accounts - ideally we need managed local accounts, nothing gets synced to server, so hopefully server home folders are not necessary - in 10.5 it didn't seem to work without having a server home set with a directory full of empty folders.)
Change software update managed settings in Workgroup Manager to: http://ods1.ourcompany.com:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog This will only work after ODS1's 10.6 upgrade is complete
Test: by binding a new computer to this server and logging in with a user account set up on this server.
Backup
Make a backup copy of the new OD Master virtualmachine.
On ODS1 and FS1, export all settings from ServerAdmin onto a thumb drive
Make an archive of Open Directory onto a thumbdrive (Server Admin -> Open Dir -> Archive Tab)
Document all settings on ODS1 and FS1 by takingscreen shots of each pane in Server Admin and RAID Admin for easy referencewhen later setting up the new 10.6 ODS1.
On FS1, document all file shares and permissions
Copy from ODS1: /Volumes/Xserve User RAID and/Volumes/Xserve_Mail_RAID onto external HDD.
Copy from ODS1: /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/ to thumbdrive (required for migrating mail later)
Run mailbfr –b /Path/to/backup/volume –full
Clone FS1 and ODS1 HD drives to the internal BUdrives.
Make FS1 file shares backup (on separate XRAID)
Upgrade FS1
Remove HDD’s in FS1 and replace with 3 blank 1TB HDDs.
Install 10.6 from DVD.
Install latest updates.
Configure as per previously documented screenshots, but with the following changes:
Make it a replica of the new OD Master instead of ODS1
Add a secondary DNS zone pointing to new DNS server
Configure its DHCP to provide new LDAP server
Set all correct file share permissions aspreviously documented.
Test:
Attempt to connect to every volume with various different users to test that correct permissions are being applied.
Turn many client computers on to test if correct DHCP settings are received.
Upgrade ODS1
Do a fresh install of 10.6
Set up all services using documented screenshots, but OD and DNS will be replica instead of Master.
Migrate Mail store by renaming mail folder onthe XRAID to oldmail, then issuing this command: sudo/usr/libexec/dovecot/migrate_mail_data.pl —moveMail 0 —cyrusBin "/Volumes/thumb_driveXXXX" --database "/Volumes/X-SERVE_Mail_RAID/oldmail/imap"--sourceSpool "/Volumes/X-SERVE_Mail_RAID/oldmail/spool/imap"--targetSpool "/Volumes/X-SERVE_Mail_RAID/mail/spool/imap/dovecot/mail"
Test:
afp://ods1.ourcompany.com./
Logging into accounts
Start up all computers in the office to makesure mail, managed prefs, DNS, DHCP, etc. work for all computers.
Firewall
DNS Replica by setting up a computer with staticIP
VPN
iChat
iCal
Software Update
WebMail
Point new OD Master’s Software Update toupgraded ODS1
Go Home!

Unable to migrate Planning Securities filter form Prod to Qa

Hi,
We have migrated Sys9 planning application from prod env to Qa but security migration dint happend. Each time we need to login Oracle repository and do a export and import.
Please let us know the easy way to perform migraiton.
plz temme

If the users already exist in the Qa environment then you can use the updateusers.cmd utility, this will try and update the native sid values for users and groups in the planning repository to match shared services.

Migrate planning application without migrating Provisioning information

Hi,
Is it possible to migrate just Planning application and other Hyperion objects without provisioning information. which we can assign as per new requirement.
will it work or need to migrate provisioning information first then we can change later as per our requirement.
This time MSAD Provider should connect with different host.
Please advice.

I understand that planning application contain provisioning information of Planning application in shared services and should be migrated along with Planning.
My question was:
Is it possible to migrate planning application only and then i should able to either re provisioning everything from scratch for migrated planning as we had bad experience with existing provisioning.
though i have seen some option of update/delete in CSSImport (importexport.properties)
please advice.

Planning db from SQL server to Oracle

Hi Friends
We are planning to upgrade our Hyperion Environment from 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.2. and we are going from SQL server to Oracle as our RDBMS.
If we are changing DBMS, do we have to rebuild total application or is there any easy method to migrate from sql server to Oracle
Please suggest
Thanks

Thank you so much John
Just to make sure i got it correct
1. Export from 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.2 using LCM
2. Delete the planning application
3. Update oracle data source on 11 point to Oracle
4.Again use LCM to export planning app from 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.2
Please suggest if i am wrong
Thanks
No you would upgrade the planning application using the upgrade wizard in 11.1.2.2, once the application has been upgrade you can use LCM to export the full application, then delete, re-point data source, import using LCM.

Migrate essbase app from 6 to 9

planning to migrate the app from essbase 6 to esbase 9.to a whole new server.
Any issues with that...any doc on migration from 6 would be useful.
its urgent

I started to migrate from 6.6 to 9.3.1 and it went quite smooth. What I have done:
Installed the server.
Used the config tool and removed shared services registration.
Copied essbase.cfg to new installation.
Had to add the env variables manually on AIX from the hyperionenv.doc.
Installed the eas server.
Used config tool for config and deployment of eas on std settings.
Installed the eas client and used the migration tool to migrate some databases to the new server from a 6.6 (6.6 running on different machine than 9.3)
Tested our batch processing for data load, security transfers, data staging etc. which uses some api interfaces and ESSCMD and maxl scripts. All without any problems. All settings were kept the same as on the old systems (essbase.cfg, db settings, app settings).

Help in strategy for Migrating to MPLS from PRN cloud Same provider

Dear,
We are planning to migrate to MPLS from PRN using same provider, I have about 12 sites to migrate, new circuits have been provisioned and new routers are ready to be shipped to each site for installation.
Now, I am facing a dilemma, briefly speaking with provider they tell me that we can migrate a site a time no problem here, then next day they tell me it needs to be a hot cut over migration how can this be? so going back and forth and tayloring routers configurations I literally stopped, would like ask for assistance and your opinion on how to go about such migration to tentatively lock into a solid strategy.
Any documents out there you can point me to or experience in such migration will be appreciated.
All of our sites currently connect to PRN cloud including HQ, running OSPF multiple areas, at a glance I was thinking the provider would somehow bridge the two clouds so that I could build a parallel infrastructure and migrate branch offices one at a time but I am still unclear on how to proceed, I will be speaking with the provider more extensively in the next few days but any guidance will be appreciated.
Best Regards

Henry, thanks for those links and help.
Would like to share what I have done which seems so far to be working properly, so that if any one comes accross they get an idea.
It turned out our RPN/MPLS provider cannot or don't want to somehow cross connect the two clouds, so I was forced to do the cross connect at my end begining with two sites, I have setup what I had in mind, for each of the two targeted sites I have installed a new 3845 router with new DS3 link to MPLS cloud and created a cross connect to a 6509_switch_router that is connected under the PRN infrastructure. The 3845 was configured as a virtual link for ospf, all good here so far the 3845 joing ospf domain and received routing table from from PRN side. The next site had also new router and new circuit for the MPLS side, at this second site I brough down the router connecting to PRN cloud then brought up the new 2811 router which I had preconfigured under the same ospf domain and received routing table from the 3845 router DS3 MPLS link. We will let it run for a week to allow to troubleshoot or spod any issues before proceeding to migrate more sites.

Hyperion Planning Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2

Hyperion Planning Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2
So far I have done the following 3 steps:
1. I have successfully installed and configured Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2 in a new Server. (Windows Server 2008 R2).
2. I have created a blank classic Planning Application in 11.1.2.2.
3. I have copied the relational database from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2
Could you please let me know the next steps to perform the upgrade?
Should I use the Migrate Button in the Hyperion Planning Webpage or use the option in the EPM System Configurator "Upgrade existing database to the current release from 11.1.1.3". Please advise.
Note : A native User is the owner of the Planning Application in 11.1.1.3 and hence I made the same in 11.1.2.2 also.
Also, please let me know if I need to migrate the shared services security and convert the HBRs to Calc Manger rules first before upgrading the Planning Application.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks John for your quick response.
Yes, I have performed a clean install and then going for upgrading the existing Planning Application.
The Application owner in both the source and target Applications is a native user named hypadmin (not the default admin user). Do you want me to change the owner to default admin user, or the user hypadmin is ok to go with?
Please advise.
Also, is there any specific order I need to follow for migrating the below components?
1. Shared Services Security
2. HBRs to Calc Manger Rules
3. Existing Planning Application Upgrade

Migrating planning artifacts from 11.1.3.3 to 11.1.2.2.
