Moving the application from dev to testing..

Hi,
Now we are in a stage of Developing the application(Cube).How can we move the application from development server to testing server?

HI,
1. In your EAS , add both the analytic servers i.e of Development and testing .
2. NOw, you can either use 'Migration wizard' or you can even copy the whole application from one to other , this will only take care of the meta data . It doesnt copy the data .
3. For data, you got to export data ( without format and all data), and load it into the destination application . I recommend not to user any format option of export ,as you can do free form dataload without any rule file

Best practice on 'from dev to test'move.

Hello.
My Repository 10.2.0.1.0
My client 10.2.1.31
I am writing to ask someone what would be the best practice and most common_sense_oriented way to move OWB from dev to qa/test environment?
I have read a number of recommendations on this forum and other oracle docs and it seem somewhat tedious exercise...
At the moment i am either having to simply copy and paste (ye not very professional but works a treat!) then just re-sync the tables to point to correct location on some of the smaller of my projects.
Now i have a huge project with hundreds of maps with different source locations etc.
I want to move it into test.
My test environment is where we test ETL process before implementing it in live as oppose to UAT test.
I imported the tables into OWB etc from the test, now i want to move my maps from dev to test and this is where my HOW TO comes.
I have different runtime repositories on my test as per oracle recommended (same names apply to dev and test and live repositories for the consistency purposes). Importing the maps from the export of dev to test doesn't really work and i don't really want start tweaking with export files.
for some reasons the import only imports it back to the project the export was taken from.... (which is as useful as a smack on a head, in my humble).
copy and paste the re-sync all tables would be madness, misery and pain all in one!
So what do i need to do?
1) OK i imported all the tables and views from the test environment into OWB
2) How do i move my maps from dev to test?
3) even if i copy them over - would i honeslty have to then resync tables in every single map (i am already crying by the thought of it)?!
It seem a little tidious to me.
I can imagine that there is no silver bullet and everyone have different ideas, but someone please share your experience on how would do it?
Here is something from the user guide and no matter how many times i read this - i just don't get how i can relate it to what i need to achieve.
The following quote is from "OWB User Guide", Chapter 3.
"Each location defined within a project can be registered separately within each Runtime Repository, and each registration can reference different physical information. Using this approach, you can design and configure a target system one time, and deploy it many times with different physical characteristics. This is useful if you need to create multiple versions of the same system such as development, test, and production."
As i said - i have all my tables imported from DB to OWB, now how do i make my maps to appear in repository on test? I can see the relevance of location to deploy maps into the test runtime repository, but before then i somehow have to make them to appear in my test runtime repository in Design and make sure they are referencing correct tables etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Vix

Hello Oleg.
Thank you very much for such detailed and very helpful reply.
You are correct - i have my Design Centre and within it two projects - dev and test.
Dev has all the locations pointing to the Development DB and it has it's own runtime repository/control centre configured.
Test has all the locations pointing to the Test DB and it also has it's own runtime repository/control centre configured.
I have one design centre and two runtime environments.
both dev and test have identical tables etc. I moved the logic over form dev to test (all the functions, procedures etc), i have also imported tables and logic from TEST DB to the test project.
All i want to do is now move over the maps from DEv to TEST. Which is not a problem (copy and paste are helpful), but then the copied maps are still point to the tables in Dev. Which means i have to sync it with test tables - i hope i am making sense here!
I was hoping that there is some clever way of just changing something to effectively tell table in the map 'to point to the table in this database'. If the map is already configured - the only way to do it is to sync the tables, which will enable you to select the DB and table you want your table in the map to be pointing to.
The reason i do not use imp/exp between projects - it is not really reliable. Have to then jump through the hoops ensuring all contrains etc are there. It is safer to just import whatever i need from DB - ensuring all my constrains etc are there.
I do regular exports as a means of 'having a backup copy of the project', but never managed to import anything from one project to another (was easier with OWB 9 where it was possible to amend the .mdl file). It works fine to import back to the project the export was taken from.
I don't have problems with the location etc - took me hours to set everything the way i wanted it to be and now all the deployments are going to the right schemas, DBs etc.
Is there are any other way re-pointing the tables in the map to another DB? Like in the falt files - there is an option to choose the location of the file. So once the location is define/registered etc - you can choose whatever one is needed fromm the drop down on the left of the map.
I hoped there would be something similar for the tables. Like a big bulk option for 'tick here if you want all tables in the maps to be pointing to identical tables in another DB) type thing. Guess something like bulk sync option...
Oh well, guess i just have to stick with sync option (sobbing uncontrolably) and it hasn't stopped raining here for days!
Once again - thank you very much for all your kind help and advice.
Kind Regards

Checks to be done before moving the objects from DEvV to PROD systems

Hi,
Please provide the standard methods and checks to be done in the transport requests before moving the objects from DEv to PROD.
Please help us here.

In se10 find your request and
Upper left corner - Request\task -> Complete check -> Object (syntax check) and Check Request Consistency.
This you can do for your request and all the tasks included in your request.
Note: Transport may still fail due to numerous reason (i.e) not all the objects needed are collected in the request,
but at atleast it gives some assurance that objects are not blocked in other requests etc...

LCM - copy (promote) jobs from DEV to TEST

Hi all!
I am searching for a way to copy the LCM jobs (to promote objects from DEV to TEST) from the DEV environment to the TEST environment.
Is there a way to do so? Or do I need to recreate the jobs on the TEST new, when I want to transfer the same objects from TEST to PROD?
Thanks,
Hakan

And do you know, how an existing job can be refreshed?
I can create a job where a report is promoted from DEV to TEST. When the report now changes, so that a universe used is changed, the job itself is not updated.
The only way I found is to recreate the job again. If I can solve the refresh problem of a job, I could copy the jobs from DEV to TEST and exchange the logins from DEV -> TEST and from TEST -> PROD.

Moving Planning application from development to production

Hello All,
Pretty sure this has been answered heaps of times but here goes...
I have dev and prod enviroments of planning and essbase - version 9.3.1
Dev and Prod have own shared services install and also own SQL Servers
EPMA is used in both environments.
I have a planning application in dev with forms, task lists, business rules etc and access assigments.
* What would be the best method to move the application from dev to prod?
* How could I refresh changes I make in dev to prod server eg. changes in EPMA - add new members, changes to forms and business rules?
Appreciate your advice.
Regards
Dinesh

Hi,
Try with this post to start with - Migration of Hyperion Planning Application
Version 9.3.1 EPMA migration on different shared services you would have to use the EPMA file generator to export to ads, then import the ads in the targe env.
Business rules export to XML through EAS, import on target (may have to update the XML because server names will be hardcoded)
Cheers

What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV - Test - PRD?

Hi,
One of my customers recently asked me, Supposing I do the complete integrations and modelling in SOA Suite on the DEV Environment. Then,
What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV -> Test -> PROD ??
Also, since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?
Best Regards

Hi AJ,
Nice PDF !
Though the PDF does give a basic idea as to how we can go about the deployments using ANT and EM in Test and Prod, it doesn't really give extensive details. For eg. ANT would obviously need huge ANT scripts to be written for migrations to multiple Test servers, etc.
Similarly, when we talk about EM, does it mean each of the services has to be manually deployed on Production ?
I am sure we would be looking more towards a fully automated solution. No ?

SOA 11g Composite Deployment across multiple Instances: Best Practice
since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?You may use deployment plan for this purpose. For access control, you may use Role Based access of Weblogic and EM. Please refer -

AIA FP 11.1.1.3 - Deployment Plan Generation for migrating from Dev to Test

Hi All,
Can you please validate the following from a Deployment from Dev to Test perspective. We have almost completed the development for an interface using AIA 11g, and are in the process of moving the interface from one instnace to another, and any help is highly appreciated.
Let us the take Purchase Order Integration between a legacy application and Oracle Purchasing, File Adapter-> Requester ABCS -> EBS -> Provider ABCS -> DB Adapter, which is a classical flow.
1. The Functional person defines a project in the Project Life Cycle Workbench
2. Functional decomposition done through Purchase Prder Business Task, and Service Solution components for each composite in the classical flow
3. The ABCSs are created by linking the corresponding Service Solution Components from the LCW using Service Contructor. These composite.xmls will have the annotation populated by the Service Constructor. It is okay for these composites to have concrete wsdls during development phase, but the concreate ones have to be replaced with abstract ones before geenrating deployment plans.
4. The EBS is not changed, it will have the annotations prepopulated, and there is no need to add any annoations to them
5. The File Adapter and DB Adapters (Transport Adapters?) have to be annotated based on the developer guide
6. The xsds and wsdl go into the mds based using the scripts provided. Any other common components can also be placed into MDS.
7. Once the development is done, Harvest the composites using the AIA Harvester.
8. After harvesting, from the AIA LCW, Generate the BOM. If we harvest all the 5 composites for the Business Task together, and do Generate BOM, does it capture all the composites? Or do they capture only the composites created using the Service Constructor? Or we have to add all the compistes manually to the Business Task?
9. Add Harvested Contents by Editing the BOM -> "Search and Add Existing Composite" option. We couldnt locate the "Add Harvested Composite" option while right clicking the Business Task.
10. Once all the harvested composites have been added to the BOM, export as XML
11. Using the BOM, generate the DeploymentPlan. The deployment plan will have references to the xsds and wsdls in the MDS
12. Using the Deployment Plan and AID, deploy the composites into a new instanec.
These are the questions I have,
1. Is the above understanding correct?
2. Since the MDS is in the Dev database, a pre-requisite for AID seems to be deployment of xsds and wsdls into the Test MDS schema. Can you please validate?
3. What happens to the bpels, xsls, mplans etc? How do they move from one instance to another?
Regards,
Anish

Hi Anish,
Following are the responses -
These are the questions I have,
1. Is the above understanding correct?
1. The Functional person defines a project in the Project Life Cycle Workbench - Yes
2. Functional decomposition done through Purchase Prder Business Task, and Service Solution components for each composite in the classical flow - Yes
3. The ABCSs are created by linking the corresponding Service Solution Components from the PLWB using Service Contructor. These composite.xmls will have the annotation populated by the Service Constructor. It is okay for these composites to have concrete wsdls during development phase, but the concreate ones have to be replaced with abstract ones before geenrating deployment plans.-Yes but location attribute in binding.ws section of composite.xml should always have concrete WSDL location.Use <replaceToken> in DeploymentPlan to replace the ip and port.
4. The EBS is not changed, it will have the annotations prepopulated, and there is no need to add any annoations to them - Yes
5. The File Adapter and DB Adapters (Transport Adapters?) have to be annotated based on the developer guide-Yes
6. The xsds and wsdl go into the mds based using the scripts provided. Any other common components can also be placed into MDS.- Yes
7. Once the development is done, Harvest the composites using the AIA Harvester.-Yes
8. After harvesting, from the AIA PLWB, Generate the BOM. If we harvest all the 5 composites for the Business Task together, and do Generate BOM, does it capture all the composites? Or do they capture only the composites created using the Service Constructor? Or we have to add all the compistes manually to the Business Task?-The 5 composites created by you should have a corresponding service solution component defined.When you define a service solution component in PLWB then a GUID is generated in the database table.You need to retrieve that value and manually enter in the annotation section of composite.xml except for ABCS.Then only the BOM will contain information on all the composites.
9. Add Harvested Contents by Editing the BOM -> "Search and Add Existing Composite" option. We couldnt locate the "Add Harvested Composite" option while right clicking the Business Task.*-Once you harvest it will be visible.*
10. Once all the harvested composites have been added to the BOM, export as XML - Yes
11. Using the BOM, generate the DeploymentPlan. The deployment plan will have references to the xsds and wsdls in the MDS - Yes
12. Using the Deployment Plan and AID, deploy the composites into a new instance.-Yes
2. Since the MDS is in the Dev database, a pre-requisite for AID seems to be deployment of xsds and wsdls into the Test MDS schema. Can you please validate?
Yes the 'UpdateMetaData' section under 'Configurations' in the DeploymentPlan will upload XSDs, WSDLs, DVM,Xrefs into MDS.
3. What happens to the bpels, xsls, mplans etc? How do they move from one instance to another?
The 'Deployments' section will deploy the project into server and write the information into MDS.

Best Practice - Move from DEV to TEST

OK guys - we OWB'ers have tried many approaches to moving OWB Objects. With the new Ver 2 I like to use only 1 Design Repository - then I create 2 Projects 1 for DEV and 1 for TEST. I also have 2 Control Centers with associated Target Schemas - 1 for DEV and 1 for TEST.
This works great since having only 1 Design Repository makes things less complicated and we can do Snapshots and Compare Objects since we use only 1 repository.
The only problem is when I do a copy and paste from DEV to TEST with say a Fact Table it is difficult to reset all the location info - especially the Lookup Tables.
Any suggestions?
Do not suggest using on Project with multiple Configurations since I tried this and it create other issues.

RC 8 error while transporting the query from Dev to Qa - Element missing

Hi All,
I have made a multiprovider by copying one existing one.
I have copies one of the Bex queries using RSZC from the source to Target MP.

Kind regards,

Hi Jith,
First of all try to consolidate all your objects in a single TR and then move to Q from D.
In this case check for the list of objects that you have in your TRs. If TR 3 have all the Objects that were in TR1, TR2, then transporting TR3 alone will work.
Also, you can find the information related to the elements that were missed in your TR1,TR2 by following process.
1. Go to your transport Logs and then to the entries marked as Error.
2. There you will find the Query Element Ids, copy them
3. Now, go to Table(Se16) RSZELTDIR, there enter those query elements.
Now, you can able to find the elements that you have missed in your TRs. Hope this helps you.

Migrate DRM application from PROD to TEST environment

How I can migrate all DRM application from PROD to TEST environment. The first way this is using migrate utility and then create all export/import utility. But this way does not give 100% guaranty of identity the PROD and TEST environment.
As relation database I am using Oracle DB. Can I migrate DRM application using exp/imp utility for oracle users (MDM and MDM_DB) and after that changing information directly in oracle tables in the TEST environment?

This response is not timely but others may find it useful...
You can use the Oracle database export and import processes, but there are several additional steps in the process. In general this is a high risk endevour that should not be attempted by the faint of heart. (See #3 below!) Attempt at your own peril.
1) Make a copy of the Username table so that you have the Test versions of the encrypted passwords for DRM internally managed accounts. These will need to be updated post import if there are any differences.
2) After you delete the tables in Test, it's best to create them with the install scripts prior to import because once an Oracle table containing a blob datatype has a stored value the Oracle import is no longer tolerant of changes in target tablespace names for all tables containing blobs within that schema. (Known bug) However, the create tables install script has an insert statement or two that need to be commented out or the import will create duplicate rows that will cause errors enabling constraints.
3) After the import completes all exports and books need to be modified to no longer point to production target locations, especially for exports to database tables! Ideally this step would be completed and QA'd prior to starting the application server; however, the application server must be running if the migration utility is going to be leveraged to propagate these updates so the process I use is to lockout all users until this step is completed.
4) Also note that if the Prod and Test app servers are not using the same authentication settings the system preference needs to be changed or the application server may not start.

How can I remove the applications from the Content Administrator

I had undeployed the applications from Content Administrator in two ways:
A:
1. Start the tool using the go.bat located in \usr\sap\<SID>\<Instance Name>\j2ee\admin folder
2. Log in with an Administrator user.
3. Under the Server node click Services-> Deploy.
4. In the runtime tab, on the right hand side screen click on the Applications checkbox. The list of all deployed applications appears.
5. Select the application and click on the Remove button.
B:
Undeploying using SDM remoteGUI.
after I finished that,the application still exist in the browse of Content Administrator Web Dynpro.
But it is'n invailable.When I click the application name,it throws exceptions:
Failed to get the list of names of referenced deployable objects for deployable object 'local/Welcome'.
Failed to get list of defined JCO clients for deployable object 'local/Welcome'.
Failed to get the list of names of referenced deployable objects for deployable object 'local/Welcome'.
Failed to get enable state for 'local/Welcome'.
No resource bundles found for development component ''local/Welcome''.
My question is , how can I remove it form the list.

How to move the code and deploy the code from Dev environment to SIT.

Hi,
I have a requirement.
I want to move the components and deploy the code from dev Environment to SIT environment using Ant Script for AIA.
Before doing this is any pre-requisites required?
Can you please help on this,how to do?
Thanks in advance.

Further to add to Anish Statement follow the steps to easily migrate the code to different environment.
Steps:
First log on to the EM Console and export the Composite Flow as a SAR file to a location.
In Jdeveloper create a project using the same name of a SAR file like - ProcessSalesorderFlow
import the project using the option import the composite using a SAR File.
After import , then click on the composite and then generate the config plan.
In config plan add all the url changes using the search and replace Tags.
And in case if you have a JCA Adapters the same has to be taken care in SIT environment why because during deployment a lookup happens and deployment fails if it dont find the JNDI Name.
Take the SAR file adn config plan seperately from JDeveloper.
Now open em console again and then deploy it using the config file and SAR file.
Thanks,
Venugopal SSS RAJA
