Migrating Studio across environments

EIS had/has the ability to export schemas and other EIS objects as XML files that can be used to migrate across environments.
Studio has no such thing (or if it does, I can't see it).
The docs do talk about migration, but that's from EIS to Studio. LCM, tantilizingly, shows Studio, but when I click on it I get a "User is not authorized for the action." My id has every Studio provisioning right there is.
I can see a migration path, sort of, that entails moving an entire database schema/database (Oracle/SQL Server) from one environment to another, and then diving into the tables to change references to servers, rights, etc. I have not tried this because it reminds me of pre-11 Planning migrations and they hurt.
Is the above approach documented anywhere?
Is there a better way to migrate from development to production?
If there is, wonderful. Following on that welcome news, is there a way to selectively migrate an object or series of objects?

Hello GlennS:
CL, I hope you do not mind if I re-open this post ;)
I have been working with Essbase Studio 11.1.2 and I have seen that models could be exported to xml. But now I am working with 11.1.1.3 and I do not know how to migrate between environments.
I think I have two issues:
1) Maybe 11.1.1.3 does not support this feature?. Migrating the entire database should be the solution?. Should I also migrate physical files?
2) My database is in SQL Server 2005 and destination database is Oracle. Do you think I would be able to?
Thank you for your help

Best way to migrate Applications across environments of different versions

Hello Gurus,
Source EPM Environment - EPM 11.1.1.3
Target EPM Environment - EPM 11.1.2.2
What is the best way to migrate applications for Planning , Essbase , HFM and also the related reports from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 .
Any help will be highly appreciated..
Thanks
HyperEPM.

I tried with upgrading the application and it was done pretty smoothly as compared to the LCM import export method.
Now what would be the feasible way to move all the applications when following is the scenario and we need a minimum downtime.
1. Move from EPM 11.1.1.3 to EPM 11.1.2.2
2. DB used to configure EPM 11.1.2.2 should be fresh and not the existing one.
3. We want to move all the applications across to EPM 11.1.2.2 on the freshly configured EPM 11.1.2.2.
4. Move all the applications intact across the version.
Thanks

Migrating Custom Functions across environments

Within our DEV environment (EPM 11.1.2.1 - Planning & Essbase) we have about 15 CDFs visible in EAS for an application.
Of these 15 CDFs 1 has a class name of pwc_date and all the rest are com.hyperion.essbase.cdf.psb.HSPCDFUtils.
I need to migrate these to UAT.
How do I do this?
For what it is worth in DEV - I can see pwc_date.class in D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\java\udf but the others are still hidden to me!
Thanks in advance for all assistance.
Regards
Paul

The functions in com.hyperion.essbase.cdf.psb.HSPCDFUtils are part of planning and will have been installed by default, it is possible to deploy them from the planning application when refreshing "update custom-defined functions" - Creating and Refreshing Application Databases
For the other CDF copy the jar or class file across environments, update udf.policy and register the functions.
Cheers

Porting modified components across environments

I am using the HTML code generated for the parameter form
of a standard report component in an HTML portlet on a page
to call the standard report component. When porting from
development to production will these customizations be
a problem - do the component ID's of standard application
components change when ported across environments? Is it
better to write a custom dynamic page instead that would
call the component?
Thanks,
Suzanne

Hello Narayana,
Can you please raise an SR and provide us the export of one operating system.

How to migrate exadata across data centers?

How to migrate exadata across data centers? Is forklift (or lift & shift) only option for this kind of migration since we are talking about migrating appliance?
Any best practices/experiences around such migrations?
Thanks,
Abhi

Hi,
We recently had a data center move and moved some exadata machines to a new location.
There are a few things to consider before move happens;
1) Get the network ready on new Data Center and make sure all connectivity (e.g. you can remote access to it) are working. In our case the new center has same IPs network.
2) Get the Vendor who does transporting of Hardware Machines.
3) On the last day before move, Shutdown the Exadata Machine ( shut down database, RAC, shutdown db nodes, cell nodes, infinity band etc.. )
4) Power off Exadata Machine
5) Unplug all network cables.
6) Let the Hardware cool down.
7) Transport to new location and move the Machines to correct Bay and wait for machines to be acclimatized
8) Plug Network cables.
9) Power On Exadata.
I found a Support note which also you can refer; What Needs to be Done When Moving Cluster Nodes to a New Data Center (Doc ID 1332423.1)
HTH,

Configuration Audit across environments

Hello Colleagues,
I have observed differences in application behaviour across our Dev, QA and Production CRM systems. While some of these are related to data issues I have found a few instances of inconsistent configurations across the landscape. Of course, this should not be the case if the configurations have been transported across but we had a few instances of backing transports in and out which has caused inconsistencies. In this context my question is,
Is there any way to do a audit/comparison of CRM Customizing across systems?
Thanks!
Paresh Angle.

Migration between two environments which can't communicate with each other

My customer is intending to do migration from test environment to production environment using CCM.
But the two environments are not in the same network.
The environments' setting is as blew.
BO TEST Repository can communicate with Web BO Server.
BO PRODUCTION Repository (Cluster environment) can communicate with Web BO Server.
BO TEST Repository and BO PRODUCTION Repository (Cluster environment) are in the different network, they can't communicate with each other.
Setting Target Repository manually in CCM.
Questions are:
1. In CCM, as long as both Source Repository and Target Repository can communicate with Web BO Server, the migration will be successful.
Is that right?
2. If 1 is not right, is there additional setting should I do?
For example, If I need to open some firewall port?
3. Is there other attentions should I notice?
Thanks

Yes that is correct
2. If 1 is not right, is there additional setting should I do?
For example, If I need to open some firewall port?
You have another option which is to use the BIAR files. Export your objects to a BIAR file in source environment, and import them from BIAR into the target environment
3. Is there other attentions should I notice?
when using BIAR files as solution, Make sure that you keep them < 1GB size to avoid corruption
you may have to increase or adjust timeouts on input and output repository servers as well

Moving Xcelcius Documents across Environments

All
   We have three environments ( DEV, TEST, PROD). We developed a Project using Xcelcius and we really liked the tool. The only draw back we see using this product is Its not easy to move the Xcelcius documents from one environment to another. Using the query as web service wizard I created two webservice. One in DEV and another one in TEST. Both returns the same result.
In DEV:
WSDL          http://DEVBOX:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/DevWebService?WSDL
Web Service URL :      http://DEVBOX:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice
IN TEST:
WSDL :           http://TESTBOX:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/TestWebservice?WSDL
Web Service URL :      http://TESTBOX:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice
I developed a Xcelcius document using the WSDL from DEV BOX.
Here is my problem. As soon as i change the WSDL reference to TEST all the reference that i have already made to the cells on EXCEL sheet are gone. I want a seemless migration from DEV Box to TEST BOX
so that i dont need to remap the mappings to EXCEL sheet again.
I see this as a big drawback in using this tool. Has anyone faced this problem before. If so can you please suggest me a good solution so that i dont need to remap the mappings while migrating from one environment to another.
Thanks
-Prabu

Amit
    Thank you very much. When i removed the relative path it works. Now in my DEVELOPMENT environment the WSDL URL and the Web Service URL looks like this
WSDL URL          : http://BOBD2:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/DevWebService?WSDL
Web Service URL : /dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice
As you said it gives an error when I run from Xcelcius and when I export the SWF file to the BO Infoview repository it works fine. Here is where I run into confusion. Now the dashboard works fine in DEV Box.
I now need to move the dashboard from DEV to TEST. So I need to use a WSDL from TEST box. The Test box WSDL is referred as
WSDL URL           : http://BOBT1:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/TestvWebService?WSDL
Here is the problem.
When I try to change the WSDL URL referred from
http://BOBD2:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/DevWebService?WSDL
TO
http://BOBT1:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/TestvWebService?WSDL
All the reference that I have made to the Excel is gone. Even if we use relative path the WSDL file has to remain the same. Which means the WSDL has to be from one box and it cannot be on multiple box or server? Is there a way that I can alter the WSDL file and still maintain the reference in the EXCEL? Your Help will be greatly appreciated.

Data Migration - SAP EC - Environmental Compliance

Hi,
I’m in a Project here in Brazil and they will start to use the portal SAP EC and I have to do the data migration.
I read in some manuals about the “Export Excel Template”, but I don’t know if this is the correct way to do the data migration for this portal. If I use this way, is this possible I change the fields and create a new template?
Thanks a lot!
Regards,

Hi Victor,
EC30_XML_TransferTool.ZIP
PermitDataTemplateSample.zip
This Zip File containing the EC standard documentation of the XML Transfer Template and an example definition file.
This is correct Template for export and import for mass data .
for User Manual Click here
EC_FP3_overview_part1-generic.pdf open this Pdf and see the page number 16. ( EC provides a separate help document for the new Excel tool.)
All the Best

Syncing Applications across Environments

We have an existing installation and are planning on setting up a stand-by server for disaster recovery for our Hyperion Planning application. What are the possible ways to sync the applications from one server to another? I was thinking we will need to setup LCM migrations + Essbase L0 exports and somehow automate them. Is there any utility in the new versions which makes this automatic, similar to cloning?
Thanks.

If you can use a shared location for LCM then you can use Utility.bat file for automation. (else you'll have to include file copy between servers)
For level 0 export you can use maxl and with the new version you can use wild cards to load them back (don't need to worry about the number of files)
I don't think there is an out-of-box utility to handle this.

IR and ID version check across environments

HI ,
Iis there a tool/ transaction in SAP XI or SAP respectively where i can check for the version of IR or ID across Environements
i.e the changes made in Development enviroment having been correctly trasnported to Production or quality or staging , without having to manually open them ,
for eg a change made to a mapping , or Interface determination in development has been transported to staging(SXI) , so to know whether the same exists in another environement say quality (QXI) without having to open the same manually
Can it be done ??
kindly suggest
thanks in advance
SD

hi
If I am not wrong There is no Seperate Versions for ID and IR.
IF u want to check Version for XI Open SAP GUI and in that go to System --> Status.
Then U will find details of XI.
One more option is Open XI Tools Using URL and then go to Administration in that We will find Version and SP Details.
For Transporting Development Objects to Production CCMS is Compulsory in XI.
This may be Help u.
Other wise u will give u r mail id i will send CCMS doc
Thanks

Migrate ERPI between environments

Hi All,
I was wondering how to migrate ERPI objects (from the web: data rules, data mappings and all the settings on the web) from one environment to the other. Is it done through LCM? Does anyone know which objects to pick from LCM.
Thanks

Looks like this posts does not intended for ODI forum. Please post it to appropriate LCM forum.

Need an expert advice in Implementing continuous delivery across environments

Hi All,
I need an expert advice/solution in implementing continuous delivery in our project. (PF Screenshot)
Deployment goes like this..
Dev checks in -> TFS Builds - > RM Invokes -> using PS/DSC -> Copies the binaries to DIT environemnt's IIS virtual dir -> Manual replacement of Web.config files (since we have many environments)- > App runs
PS/DSC does following things : Copies binaries using X copy , Uploads SP excel reports , Executing Dacpac scripts etc ..
Now the chanllenge earlier faced was wrt Web.Config files was, for every DIT environment many configurations, conn strings would change. In order to overcome this , Implemented Web.config transformations( like Web.DIT1.Config .... Web.DIT6.config in my solution
explorer.
Added a custom MSBuild script in my .csproj file and before triggerig the build defination I 'd change in Process tab- > Basic - > Configuration = DIT1 (based on requirement) and triggers . )
It perfectly deploys to the DIT 1 without manually replacing WEb.config files.
1) Now the blocker for me, Can we achieve this without Web.config transformations ? Since I don't want to expose the sensitive date in config files is there any way to implementing the same ?
2) I wanted to have continuous deployments from DIT to SIT and from SIT to UAT etc , How can we achevive the same ?
I m planning to implement the same with web.config tokenizing in RM?
Looking for some expert advice in achieving the same?
Many Thanks ,
Abraham Dhanyaraj

HI Abraham,
Instead of having web config transformations to set config values for each environment do the following.
1. Have one transformation config say for example web.release.config which will contain tokens understood by RM (starting and ending with double underscore) for each config value.
<log4net>
<appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
<file value="__log4netLogFile__" xdt:Transform="Replace" />
</appender>
</log4net>
<ClientsSection>
<Clients xdt:Transform="Replace">
<add Id="__ClientId1__" Secret="__SecretCode1__" RedirectUrl="__RedirectUrl1__"></add>
<add Id="__ClientId2__" Secret="__SecretCode2__" RedirectUrl="__RedirectUrl2__"></add>
</Clients>
</ClientsSection>
<appSettings xdt:Transform="Replace">
<add key="MinCaps" value="2" />
<add key="MinSymbols" value="1" />
<add key="MinNumerics" value="1" />
<add key="MinLength" value="6" />
<add key="MaxLength" value="" />
<add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
<add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
<add key="PreserveLoginUrl" value="true" />
<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="WebPortalName" value="__WebPortalName__" />
<add key="TimeZoneFrom" value="Pacific Standard Time"/>
<add key="TimeZoneTo" value="Mountain Standard Time"/>
</appSettings>
The TFS builds can generate output with above formatted configs with web config transformation.
2. Then in RM server templates change the config files to have values depending on the environment. You can do this using a custom deployment component or default xcopy deployment component to set parameters.
3. Then in the release template set the config values.
Cheers!

Migrating email across to BC when going live

Hi everyone,
I have come across this challenge often - when launching a new website for a client who already had a website and a branded email address (e.g. [email protected]). When I update the name servers to point to BC name servers, my clients lose their old email history.
Does anyone have a process or any recommendations about how my (often less than computer saavy) clients can save their email history before we update their name servers?
One of my clients, for example, is using the gmail system for their branded email address and is asking me if she will lose her email history? And if so, how she can retain her email history.
I've searched the web, but can't find anything concrete to advise her with and my experience is lacking in this area as well. Any help from the community would be outstanding!

I'll let you know a mistake I made so maybe you and/or other people can avoid the same mistake. Luckily I lost my email and not my client's email.
I needed to delete the mailboxes on my hosting account. I knew that all the email would be lost so before I deleted the email, I used Mac Mail to make a connection to my email account (typically, I connected through an iPhone or online) to download important email.
I "downloaded" all my messages to Mac Mail, then I deleted the email accounts. However, when I went back to Mac Mail, ALL the email was gone. Obviously, the email was being read from the server and NOT actually downloaded to my computer. A lesson learned.
As for your customer using Gmail, BC has an option to use a different email system. You can read about doing that and your customer could continue to use her branded Gmail account.
Take care,
Tricia

Migrate Studio to a new Computer

Hey there, I have Studio 2 installed on an older G5, and just purchased a MacBook Pro. What is the best way to transfer the programs over, can I just reinstall with the same serial #?
Thanks!

I have Studio 2 installed on an iMac.
If I was to sell the iMac in order to buy a macbook pro, would i be able to preserve Studio 2 to install on a future tower, or will installing it on a macbook count as the 2nd install?
Is there a policy on new computers? I'm sure people upgrade computers all the time?
