OWB propagation from development to production environment

Our department is in need to implement overall security around our production data warehouse.
One issue that seems to bother our management is having only one OWB Designer where developers would have to be responsible enough to use snapshots and export mappings to mdl files. Management would like to have development and production OWB Designer Repository where production designer would always be in sync with what is deployed in prd database. Also prd OWB Designer Repository would be like a source safe so we have to always get a mapping from prd designer move it dev designer and when done propagate changes back to prd designer and then deploy to prd database.
Would this be a good approach?
Any input on how to handle propagation from development to production environment, and if you are aware of "best practices" when it comes to OWB environment is appreciated.
Best Regards,
Vlasta

Hi,
Copy whole catalog and rpd from dev to prob.
If you want to copy specific report go to OracleBIData\web\catalog\samplesales\root\shared\sample+sales(group folder name)
You can copy reports under folders and dashboards in _portal in Sample sales group folder...both file and .atr file.But you may miss security applied on those dashboards.
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2008/04/28/migration-obiee-projects-between-dev-and-prod-environments/
Best practice is to copy whole catalog and rpd (or) Copy shared and system folders and their .atr files from OracleBIData\web\catalog\samplesales\root so that you will not miss security and you will not over ride users folders which may contain some data created by them.
Thanks,
Srikanth

Migration from development to production environment for SAP Netweaver BI

All,
When I created a SAP Netweaver BI connection using BeX query in BW development environment, the system is defaulted to the BW development environment. Since the system textbox can't be modified to use a variable to point to production environment, can you share how you migrate your SWF file to production environment and ensure that it points to the BeX production query?
Thanks for sharing ....

How to migrate reports from Development QA Production environment

Hello,
we have 3 Oracle Discoverer 10.1.2.3 environments and I would like to know what is the correct way to migrate reports from DEV to QA and to PROD.
I'm researching about this by a couple of days and didn't find anything handy.
The most likely way that I found was to export the entire EUL from one environment to another with the eulapi with a command line like that:
exporting:
eulapi -connect DEVUSER/pass@orcl -eul DEVUSER -export exp_all.eex -all
importing using [ -import_rename_mode refresh ]:
eulapi -connect QA_USER/pass@orcl -eul QA_USER -import exp_all.eex -identifier -import_rename_mode refresh -log imp.log
That would work.
However if the developer delete some object from the DEV environment and then import in the QA environment the deleted object won't be deleted from the QA environment and after some time the QA and PROD environment would be a mess.
Another way that I figured out was to drop the eul from the PROD environment and then import all over. That would solve the problem but It has a lot of risks.
Thanks in Advance,
Jonas Zanon

Hi,
I think the best approach is to export the EUL components (e.g. business areas, folders, hierarchies, workbooks etc) separately from your development environment and hold these in a change management system. You can then import the components into test and prod and know which version of each component you have.
Often when you make a change you will have to export/import several components. For example, if you add a folder you will need to export the folder, any business areas that hold the folder and if the folder is joined to any detail folders then these as well.
We don't have scripts to delete components from production. Very rarely do you need to delete anything from production and generally it is not a good idea because reports will stop working because the references in the reports are missing.

Development and product environment

Dear all,
I want to setup two databases in seperated server. One for development purpose and another for product environment.
Which good method/tool in oracle can transfer data (like pl/sql,tables,fields) from
development to product environment?
Thanks you

I would strongly suggest cloning the database from Development to Production, using RMAN. You get a proper copy that way - and it isn't hard to do. Howard Rogers has all the answers here: http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/9

Error while importing the ODI Package from Development to Production Enviroment

Hello Everybody,
Currently I'm face the problem when import ODI models (from Development) to Production environment
And the error show follwing error:
ODI - 23040 Import file "C:/BIAPPS_Package/Models/XyZ.xml" error
please help.

Do the user performing the import have permissions to import models to the production environment? I'd also mention that you would have a better setup if your production environment only held executables such as scenarios, load plans etc. and not development objects. It leads to better change control management and simplifies the migration process from DEV --> PROD

Questions on Analyzer Upgrade and Moving Analyzer Reports from Development to Production

Hi,We run Analyzer 5.0.3. We are planning to go to Analyzer 7.2. Did any body go thru this upgrade? If so, what is your opinion and tips that may help. Also, we never had Analyzer development environment. We are planning on having Analyzer development environment. In our installation, all of the Analyzer reports are centrally developed based on user requests. Once we have development and production at the same Analyzer version, if a report is developed in the development system, how can the report be mirateed/moved from development to production system?Thank you for your help,Prasant

Has this been done yet?

What is the best practice to deploy the SharePoint site from test to production environment?

We are beginning to start a new SharePoint 2010 and 2013 development projects, soon developing new features, lists, workflows, customizations to the SharePoint site, customization to list forms and would like to put good practice (that will help in deployment)
in place before going ahead with development.
What is the best way to go about deploying my site from Development to Production?
I am using Visual Studio 2012 and also have Designer 2013...
I have already read that this can be done through powershell, also through visual studio and also via designer. But at this point I am confused as to which are best practices specifically for lists, configurations; workflows; site customizations; Visual studio
development features; customization to list forms etc. You can also provide me reference to links/ebook covering this topic.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Nachiket,
You can follow below approach where the environments has been built in similar fashion
http://thesharepointfarm.com/sharepoint-test-environments/
if you have less data then you can use http://spdeploymentwizard.codeplex.com/

For custom solutions like workflows etc you can always build the WSP packages and deploy across the environments using powershell scripts.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone help for this error.
Many thanx in Advance

Hi Babloo,
According to the error message, the package may have failed are as follows:
The user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent in PRODUCTION server differs from the original package author.
The user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or to access resources outside the SSIS package.
The package may not run in the following scenarios:
The current user cannot decrypt secrets from the package. This scenario can occur if the current account or the execution account differs from the original package author, and the package's ProtectionLevel property setting does not let the current user
decrypt secrets in the package. In this scenario, we can change the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, then modify the SQL Server Agent job step command line to include this password.
File access fails because the current user does not have the required permissions to write to the file share that the connection manager accesses. In this scenario, we can create a SQL Server Agent proxy account. This proxy account must use a credential
that lets SQL Server Agent run the job as the account that created the package or as an account that has the required permissions.

SSIS package does not run when called from a SQL Server Agent job step
Run an SSIS Package Under a Different Account

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Vinay,
As Visakh mentioned, the issue usually occurs because the package runs in 64-bit runtime, however, the Excel driver is 32-bit. According to your another thread, it seems that you use SSIS 2005, right? In SSIS 2005, there is no “use 32 bit runtime” option
for the package executions of a SSIS package job step. In this condition, you have two choices:
Install the 64-bit Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 Provider on the production server. Here is the download link (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=13255
Create a CmdExec type job step instead of SSIS Package job step, so that we can call 32-bit DTExec.exe to execute the package within command line. For more information, please see:

Hi All,
What is the significance of Development,Quality,Production environment under license tab of configuration in SAP TAO.
Which environment has to be selected for better operatability of SAP TAO functions.
Thanks and Regards,
Ujwal Kandimalla

Hi,
As TAO deals with the testing aspect, a 3 system landscape is recommended:
DEV : For unit testing
QA: For system testing and integrated testing
PRD: Has to be available for production usage
You could also have a Pre-Prod for load and UAT.

VC Reports transport from Development to Production

Hi all,
     How do we transport the VC Reports from Development to Production.
     How to transport the model.
     Do we need to create new System Object.
     please help me. Are there any standard document available.
Thanks & Regards,
kishore.

Hi
After importing the model as Dharmi explained, you might need to change the systems' names in the model to fit the production landscape. For example, if a backend system has an alias AAA in Dev and same system has alias BBB in prod. To do this, simply choose Tools > Manage services...
If the landscapes are compatible, you can transport only the working iView using the portal transport capabilities. Navigate to System Configuration > Transport in the Dev portal, find your iView and add it to a transport package.
Hope this helps,
Shay
