Migration of portlets, crawlers, etc, from Development to Test to Production

I've poked around quite a bit and I can't find any. The online help file has sections for "Approve Objects for Migration" and "Object Migration Status" which describe the portal's UI for migration, but they don't explain the migration wizard. Running ptmigration.bat -help yeilded the following:
Plumtree Migration Tool Command Line Usage:
For EXPORT:
[username] [password] -export [export file name] [log file name] <-exportdependencies>
Pass the -export flag to indicate that an export is to be performed. The export package file name and log file name (in that order) are required parameters. The optional -exportdependencies flag specifies that all dependent objects should also be exported. The log file path specified must be different from the export package path.
For IMPORT:
[username] [password] -import [import file name] [log file name] <-noacls> [remote server id...]
Pass the -import flag to indicate that an import is to be performed. The import package file name and log file name (in that order) are required parameters. The optional -noacls flag specifies that ACL data should not be imported; this will leave ACLs unchanged for existing objects, while newly created objects will inherit the security of the parent folder into which they are placed. The log file path specified must be different from the import package path. Specify an id for each Remote Server which corresponds to a Content Server which should import Content Server objects. The number and order of specified Content Servers must correspond to the number and order of Content Server exports contained in the import file.
For HELP:
-help
Prints this usage message.

How to transport/move a table with data from development to Test to Production

Hi,
How to transport/move a table with data from development to Test to Production..? Export-Import a Delivery Unit does only the structure and not the data
Reg
Sri

Hi Sri,
You cannot transport Data via Transport route in HANA, you can only transport code changes/Structure via DU. For Data movement, you either have a do a export/import from a flat file or replication from a Source System to HANA.
Thanks Much,
Abhishek

Multiple projects and their promotion from Develop to Test to Production

A customer has an interConnect infrastructure running about 5 projects. Each project has a Development, a Test, an Acceptance and a Production environment.
This basically works, but is really cumbersome to maintain.
They want to reduce the number of Interconnect installations as much as possible to ease maintenance. The iConnect version is 10gR1.
As far as I can see there are two options:
1) Put all projects into a single repository. You'd end up with only 4 InterConnect environments (Development, Test, Acceptance and Production)
2) Put all hub schemas into a single DB
The first one is obviously our favourite, but can you promote a single project to a new environment (say, from Development to Test) without affecting the other projects in the same repository? How difficult (if possible) is this? What are the possibilities and risks?
What are the possibilities for option number 2?
I hope anybody can give me some advice.
Arjan

Its slightly confusing about having multiple projects, the reason being the way Interconnect works is that it has a single database repository and when you create a project it is just a view on that repository. Therefore a project and a repository are essentially one and the same.
Therefore it would imply that if you have 5 separate projects then you also have 5 separate repository instances.
In terms of your options:
1) is the general way that most projects work. Lets say you have DEV, SYS, UAT, PROD. Therefore you'd generally have a repository instance for each env, therefore 4 repository instances, HUBDEV - for DEV env, HUBSYS for SYS env etc... These repositories would usually be in separate Oracle Instances although they could be on the same servers. Therefore the Hub schema for all, would be the normal one installed by the product, OAIHUB904. Then you would also have a single project for each repository. This repository would hold all the metadata for all your interfaces that go though this HUB instance.
As interfaces move through the various phases then you migrate between the different repositories, to move stuff from DEV to SYS etc...
2) From my understanding, this is not much differnet to the above except you want to hold all the Hub schemas in a single database instance. This is possible by creating each schema with a differnet name, OAIHUB904DEV, OAIHUB904SYS etc... and you would need to change the necessary infrastructure ini files to use these new names. With this setup you would still have 1 project per repository but it would just point to the relevant schema.
Let me know if you have any more queries.

Stuart.

Just bought a used MacBook pro after my previous died. I want to migrate my applications, data, etc from a time machine backup of the old computer to the new. Will this affect, or overwrite the Apps., data, etc existing on the new machine?

Just bought a used MacBook pro after my previous died. I want to migrate my applications, data, etc from a time machine backup of the old computer to the new. Will this affect, or overwrite the Apps., data, etc existing on the new machine?

No. Only those Apps that are not installed on the new will migrate over.

Migrating from Development to Test Server

Hi
I have developed an OA extension page and deployed it.
But now once I want to move my extension page from development to test server how do I do it. My doubts are because:
While developing the pages I specified the connection username and password which is stored in the bc4j.xcfg file.
What is the best way to deploy the OA Extension pages in respect to migration.
Thanks
Abhi

Yes my concern is the DB connection!
My doubt is because of the following entry in the bc4j.xcfg file.
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<BC4JConfig>
<ConnectionDefinition name="DEV">
<ENTRY name="JDBC_PORT" value="1544"/>
<ENTRY name="ConnectionType" value="JDBC"/>
<ENTRY name="HOSTNAME" value="HOST"/>
<ENTRY name="user" value="apps"/>
<ENTRY name="ConnectionName" value="DEV"/>
<ENTRY name="SID" value="DEV"/>
<ENTRY name="JdbcDriver" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"/>
<ENTRY name="password">
<![CDATA[develop]]>
</ENTRY>
<ENTRY name="ORACLE_JDBC_TYPE" value="thin"/>
<ENTRY name="DeployPassword" value="true"/>
</ConnectionDefinition>
</BC4JConfig>
So while migrating to test server will i have to modify this file or this entry is required because we are using jdeveloper on the local machine.
Can you tell me the relevance of this config file.
Thanks
Abhi

Transports from development to Test/Production

Hi there,
While transporting objects from development to QA or Production, is there any way we can change the the name of the target staging database. For example, if TableA is the target table going to stageA database and when i move this object from development to QA or Production where staging database has a different name. So how can i handle this..should i have same database names in all the environments Dev, QA and Prod? i know we can do it manually changing staging database name one by one for each object but how can we handle it if we have hundreds or thousands of objects?

You should setup and use multiple configurations on a single datastore. The whole point (well, almost the whole point) of the ability to setup multiple configurations, pointing (typically) at different databases, inside a single datastore is to be able to re-point a dataflow at a different database without recoding. To "transport" from dev to QA, for instance, is as simple as either changing the default configuration of a datastore (from the dev database to the QA database), or making use of system configurations, which are just named sets of datastore configurations, which are, then, picked at runtime (or when scheduling a job). Of course, your schemas need to be essentially the same between environments.
Best wishes,
Jeff Prenevost

System Wide Data Formats Not copied from Development to test

I am using OBIEE 10g. When I copy my dashboards and reports via the Catalog Manager from the development environment to the test environment the system wide data formats are not being copied over. That is, all the ones that I saved under "Column Properties->Column Format->Save As System Wide Default" are not being copied over. I am using archive and unarchive in the Catalog Manager to move from development to test environment. So my question is where are these system-wide defaults stored and what do I need to do get them copied over?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
the system wide column formats are stored in catalog under system/metadata folder.
copy this folder from dev env to test env. via catalog manager, restart ps.
assign points if found helpful.

Hi,
There are mainly two ways for transportation in XI:
1. Transporting XI Objects:

Web Template Changes not visible after transport from Development to Test

Weu2019ve run into a problem doing web development in BI 7.0 that I suspect someone has seen before and may quickly be able to point us in the correct direction. Changes that are made to web templates in the Web Application Designer are correctly transported from development to the test environment, but we are still seeing the old version of the template when the report is executed. We are able to see the web template changes in the Web Application Designer in the test environment. We believe this is a caching issue and have cleared the query cache and the HTTP cache in SMICM. Unfortunately, this has not resolved the issue. Can you suggest another approach to resolve this issue?

Not sure what you mean by browser cache. We have deleted history, cookies, and all temporary Internet files. The issue isn't limited to a single user, but exists for all users. Through extensive testing we have established that you are able to see the web template changes in test in the WAD(Web Application Designer) after they have been transported from development, but can only view the changes when the web template is run for the first time. Changes to existing templates can be seen in the WAD in test, but are not seen when the report is run. The old version of the template appears to held in cache somewhere, but we haven't been able to find it and clear it.

Migrating Endeca Application and Data from development to a production server

We need to move an Endeca app (including data domain) to a production server from a development server
I installed EID 3.1 in the prod server successfully and this is what I did after the install:
1. Created a new application in Studio (name: JULY2014POC)
2. Manage Pages - Import the .lar file
3. Copy JULY2014POC.worddat file and JULY2014POC_indexes folder to new server, location: domains/endeca_server_domain/EndecaServer/data with all the servers down. Then restarted endeca server, ps server, and studio server.
4. When I try to create an Endeca Server connection it gives me error (Connection definition format is valid but unable to connect.)
5. This is my entry:
"contextPath": "/endeca-server",
"currentFunctions": [],
"dataDomainName": "JULY2014POC",
"name": "JULY2014POC",
"port": 7001,
"restrictedToRoles": ["Administrator"],
"server": "10.2.192.171"
6. When I run any endeca-cmd at OS level I get the following Warning (4 times):
$./endeca-cmd.sh list-dd-profiles
<Oct 29, 2014 4:51:33 PM EDT> <Warning> <oracle.wsm.resources.policyaccess> <WSM-06210> <An instance of the interface oracle.wsm.policymanager.IUsageTracker bean for the local repository at path "" was not available for configuring the oracle.wsm.policymanager.accessor.BeanAccessor repository accessor for context "ResourcePattern [pattern=DOMAIN/weblogic/endeca_server_domain, subjectType=MANAGED_DOMAIN, terms={PLATFORM=weblogic, SUBJECT_TYPE=MANAGED_DOMAIN, DOMAIN=endeca_server_domain}]".>
default
What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help me? thank you

Hi Sergio,
How the data import and export works is what you have to look into. Whenever you export your content it gets exported to a particular directory. If the same directory should be referenced by the code base as well which would be mentioned in the properties file for fetching the configurations.
If they are not aligned they won't pick it up. Also you will have to create pages like endeca-server and make it the default page in your properties file.
Hope u cross this hurdle soon.
Thanks

Exporting and Importing a page from Development to QA to Production

Hello
We have tried in various ways to export a simple page (it has only one HTML portlet) and import it into another Portal 309 instance.
The page imports fine (always imports with PORTAL30 as the owner!!) except HTML portlet. For some reason HTML portlet never gets imported. We tried with a calendar portlet and it gets imported fine. We don't have content areas etc. It is a simple Page with one HTML Portlet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is such a simple thing not easy enough?

Tam,
Try to import the html portlet first. Check the portlet respository, see if the html portlet is in the respository.
Then import the page.

Failed to restore site collection from development server backup on production server

I get an error as below while restoring development site collection backup on production site collection.
<nativehr>0x80070003</nativehr>
Looked into the log file shows below error.
"Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Schema version of backup 15.0.4641.1000 does not match current schema version 15.0.4569.1000"
However SP1 version installed on both server. Recently upgraded Development environment to 15.0.4571.1502 as production environment has exact same version. Run SharePoint Products Config Wizard successfully after upgrade on Development server.
Any help.
Thanks

Hi Trevor
Thanks for reply.
I am beginner in share point.
Getting below version in Development and Production Environment.
In the beginning
Dev environment has 15.0.4615.1001. Then we installed 15.0.4571.1502.
Production Environment has 15.0.4569.1506. Then we installed 15.0.4571.1502.
So now both versions looks exactly same. But somewhere it didn't upgraded fully. Backup and Restore works in the same server If applied but doesn't
work if I apply from Dev to Production Version.

Problem in transporting dc from development to test

Hello Everybody,
I have released nine activities for Java dictionary tables dc seperately.
Then i have clubed rest of the Java dictionary dc activities into single request and then released.
In consolidation tab of CMS of transport studio, I selected all these release activities and imported into assembly tab. But, it failed showing that Assembly failed.
I went to the log and it was saying that DC is broken.
it means Dc cannot build by CBS properly.
What should be the reason behind this?
Application is working perfectly on Development environment.
Thanks in advance,
Bhavik

Hi Helmut,
Yes I expalin you what happened actually.
We have imported those three SCAs in developement and then in consolidation system too. But, at that time we have checked the checkbox "Desable automatic deployment" in runtime systems tab for consolidation system. So, It didn't deployed automatically on consolidation system.
But, now we have changed it and unchecked the check box. Now, we have imported those three SCAs once again in development. They were successfully imported in developement system. But they are not showing in consolidation system as "waiting for Queue".
So, how can I import those in consolidation system?
I have tried importing those SCAs 3 to 4 times. But, same thing happens each time. It doesn't show those SCAs in consolidation as Waiting for import.
And because of this reason, our DC is failed in assembly.
So, how can we import those SCAs in consolidation system?
Thanks,
Bhavik
