Planning EPMA migration using LCM

Hi Experts,
Kindly advice how can we migrate EPMA Planning data?
As per document:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_lifecycle_management/frameset.htm?ch07s04s03.html
>
Planning data migration is not supported in Lifecycle Management.Does it different if we use Essbase Data migration using LCM under essbase Node?
Ver: 11.1.2 (EPMA Plannning)
Regards
Kumar

Hi Alp,
Thanks for the help.
It means I should fallow
Step 1: Migrate security and all artifacts of EPMA Planning using LCM except Planning Data - OK
Step 2: Export/Import Essbase data using EAS/Maxl Script – seems OK
Q1: we have option of essbase data under essbase node while migrate essbase application/Database using LCM, Why can't we just migrate Planning data using LCM itself?
Regards
Kumar

Migration using LCM

Hi,
I need to make a copy of the existing application on the same server. I've done the following.
1)Right click on the application in app library and duplicte -> new name.
2)Deployed the application giving a new DSN
3)On shared services, LCM, migrated all the artifacts into a file and imported them back into the new application.
Now, the NEW application doesnt have the rule/rule sets in it. It has the calc scripts but not the BR's. I tried many times but couldnt get the problem.
Please help!
Nish.

Hi, see this thread:
Re: Hyperion Workforce Planning - Rules migrated in LCM not showing in Calc Mgr

Hyperion Workforce Planning - Rules migrated in LCM not showing in Calc Mgr

1-Having trouble with workforce rules (as well as capex and rulesets) that are not showing up in calc manager (in system view) in our QA environment after I migrate them from Dev. New rules were created by a consultant we had in dev and on migrating them forward (along with the new forms), they are not appearing in Calc Manager (in system view). However, I am able to select them when editing forms as part of the loading/save configuration in execution of forms. Anyone have any input on why this might be happening and how we can go about getting these to show up in Calc manager?
I have checked to ensure that they were deployed in Dev in case that rolls forward. Another odd item I'm noticing is while Calc Manager will reflect the most recent revised date in Dev of rules I've updated, it is reflecting an older date to that of when it was last edited/created by the consultant we had. I am beginning to think this is the root cause of the problems as Shared Services not getting updated properly to perform the migration.
2-Also, I've come across a problem where I had an old version of a rule in QA that did not want to accept the new version I was copying forward from Dev. The system has indicated to other admins that I have it locked (presumably after the LCM) while I am not accessing it (and it gives me no such indication). When looking in calc manager, QA had the old version revision and last modified info, while Dev had revised info (and the LCM file as well). Have tried restarting Planning services to unlock it, but to no avail. Any input on how to unlock a rule that you are not currently in (my first assumption is something similar to unlocking locked objects out of EAS, but nothing there to work with).
In attempt to bypass this problem, I tried deleting the old rule out of QA and copying back in the revised version from Dev. This removed it from calc manager, but the form appears to still be using the old rule (I've tried removing the reference and then reapplying it with no positive results). To solve my short term problem, I've created a copy of the rule under a different name and copied it forward, but any tips would be great in case I come across this problem in the future (and so I might be able to remove this locked rule that serves no purpose).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I may need to go with a ticket to Oracle, but hoping these are common issues that someone else has come across.
FYI - Currently on 11.1.2.1.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Thanks for the tip.
I have tried a direct import/export in Calc Manager and have been able to move rules successfully. However, we have built a lot of our rules using the Rule Designer and on direct import, I seem to lose the layout and the script merges into one. As a short terms means to fix this, I've done the good old fashion copy and paste to create the new rules in QA.
In Shared Services, we are using the Define Migration function to extract what I need from Dev and then manually copying the files over to our QA server to import via the same in Shared Services (\\servername\c$\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem_qa\import_export\username@MSAD). I know that's a bit vague, but am I missing anything there?
I apologize if my queries are not clear. This is all new for us as we are in the process of transitioning from a internally developed relational/essbase planning application to Hyperion Planning while we also recently transitioned from using essbase 7.1.6 to 11.1.2.1 (clean install so no migration issues).
Thanks again for the information.

PST Migration using PST Capture tool 2.0

Hello,
I am planning to use Microsoft PST Capture 2.0 tool to import PST's located on C: Drive of users to personal archive mailbox of the respective user in the on-premises exchange 2010 mailbox.
There are total of 16000 users. I am wondering will PST Capture Tool, be able to handle this huge requirement? Based on past experience, can anyone suggest me healthy practice of planning PST migration using PST capture 2.0?
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kapil

Make sure you spec the PST Migration server properly, also, the number of PST files is not the problem, It's the size of all the PST files.
From my experience keep an eye on the disk space because If you are using a DAG once you start the migration the DB log files will be massive and you will need to run full backup to clear them so make sure you run backups every 12 hours to clear the logs.
If you batch them each night to a reasonable number your environment can handle everything should be fine.

I'm working on exalytics migration for planning application(Windows->Linux,EPM 11.1.2.2).
I have successfully completed classic application migration. But for the EPMA planning application, when importing metadata,it failed with the following message:
Error in migrating artifact, "/Application Metadata/Planning Applications/pln1/Local Dimensions/Account".
Couldn't determine the column delimiter for the ads file being imported. When import EPMA planning application using LCM, it failed with: Couldn't determine the column delimiter for the ads file being imported
===========================================================================
Reproduced Step:
@ From the source environment, creat EPMA planning application ,and login to
Shared Services console
1- Export the Application Metadata to the file system - AppMetadata (EPM
Architect -> Application Metadata -> Planning Applications)
2- Shared Services -> Native Directory -> Assigned roles -> Application
3- Application Groups -> Application Name
From the Destination Environment
4- Setup a datasource ready for the new application.
5- Copy the filesystem file to the following folder in destination
environment Hyperion\Common\import_export
@ 6- Login to Hyperion Shared Services and import the filesystem AppMetadata
created earlier, it failed with error:
Error in migrating artifact, "/Application Metadata/Planning

Could you please help to take a look, and tell me if I missed any step or there is any known issue for this kind of migration?
Thanks,
Xinying

Thankd for your response.
About the ads file, from log, it should be under /home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/tmp/xxx/completexx.ads, but seems it was deleted, I can't find it.
I checked file "/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export/admin0/EPMA-EPM Architect/resource/Application Metadata/Planning Applications/pln1/Local Dimensions/Account", delimiter is "|".

EPM upgrade and migration from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.3 using LCM

Hi All,
We are migrating Hyperion from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.3. Since this cannot be achieved directly,we are planning to upgrade first to 11.1.1.4 and then to 11.1.2.3 using LCM.
Does this upgrade path requires intermediate 11.1.1.4.500 patch to be applied on 11.1.1.4 to migrate to 11.1.2.3 or not?
Thanks

Thanks Harish.
I have gone through the doc but there is no information on whether 11.1.1.4.500 patch is required in EPM upgrade from 11.1.1.4 to 11.1.2.3.
Has anybody done the upgradation from 11.1.1.4 to 11.1.2.3 without the patch 11.1.1.4.500 on 11.1.1.4 successfully? .
Any issues during this upgradation path? please do share.

Migrate from Hyperion 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.1 using LCM utility

Dear All,
I have successfully exported the BI + artifacts in Hyperion 9.3.1 by using LCM Utility..I have got a listing.xml file and also a LCM folder having info and resource in the directory.
My question is that how can i import the extracted object from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.1 using LCM utility??Where i can create the ImportPackage.xml file??Please let me know the procedure to import into Hyperion 11.1.2.1..
Revert back to me as early as possible...

Rahul R

Hi Kimberly,
we went through the same uncertain information.
We have been starting fom 9.3.0.1
And YES we had to make the step migrating to 11.1.1.3.
We only performed the schema updates.
Steps in detail:
*11.1.1.3*
Copy Application (HFM)
DB Schema Update 9.3.3
DB Schema Update 11.1.1.3
Export/Import HFM Security
Export/Import (HSS)
Export/Import (HFR)
*11.1.2.1*
ORA DB Data Pump 1:1
Import Schema HFM and HBI
Copy RM1 Folder
Migration Utility for HFM and HFR
Create HSS Schema
Migration of HSS using LCM
We have a picture which describes it nicely. Let me know it you need it.

Cannot open Planning App in Production migrated via LCM

I migrated from development to Production using LCM but I had issues with opening up the application in Production because the password from the development carried over to Production.
How do I fix this?

Hi,
That's actually why you should run LCM selectively rather than for everything at one pass. Can you not reset your password in shared services? If you are having problems with database connection, then the solution is to reconfigure data source/edit data source.

Migrate from Hyperion using LCM utility in 11.1.2.1, error EPMLCM-37037

Dear All,
I want to import Artifact into HPCM application by using LCM utility.
Error occurred.
EPMLCM-37037: Listing file unavailable for file system repository - C:/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export/admin@Native Directory/JICPCM_20120817/resource.
Cannot process application artifact listing metadata. Source.
I have never seen this error before, do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Revert back to me as early as possible...
Regards
Samantha Z

Hello all,
Old thread but I just wanted to leave a comment in case it would be useful for others...
My "folder_to_import" was not in the default location "/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export/". I modified the Component.properties file, specifically editing the item "filesystem.artifact.path=D:\import_export_folder" to point to my import folder location. More detail on that can be found at Lifecycle Management Guide)
When attempting to browse the File System through the Shared Services console I was receiving the following error: "EPMLCM-37037:Listing file unavailable for file system repository - D:/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export/folder_to_import/RnA-Reporting and Analysis/resource."
The suggested solution of removing any spaces in the listing.xml file didn't help me. What finally solved my problem was changing my filesystem.artifact.path from "filesystem.artifact.path=D:\import_export_folder" to "filesystem.artifact.path=D:\import_export_folder/". Don't really understand why adding the forward slash at the end made the difference but I was able to browse my artifact listing after that change.

Migrating Calc Manager Rules using LCM

Hi,
When we import calc manager rules from an earlier export of other environment, we only have option to import from file system to Foundation- Calculation Manager on target environment. When I do this, I do not see calc manager rules are imported to my target application though import is successful.We do not have option to select application as target and how do we get these rules to target application.
Thanks in advance.
Prasad

Hi Amith,
Thanks for the reply.
Can you help me that which part of definition file can be edited so that Calc manager rules are available under my target application after import
Development environment has an application with Name "CORPDEV" from which LCM is export is done
1. I have Test environment with application name "CORPTEST" and UAT with "CORPTEST". What is the way that I can get calc manager rule into both TEST and UAT using LCM?
Thanks,

Best way to migrate using Time Machine backup

My wife has an '08 iMac. I think it originally had Leopard. Along the way I updated it to Snow Leopard and then Mountain Lion. It also has an external USB hdd and we've used Time Machine to backup to it since we've had it.
We just picked up a new iMac with Mavericks. It's still in the box. I'm under the impression that I can just power up the new one, start Migration Assistant, plug in the external drive, and it will copy all her stuff over from the latest TM backup.
Is that right? Is it that simple? Are there any known issues or gotchas?
I've searched and seen issues from people that turned out to be caused by anti-virus software. I'm assuming that out of the box that won't be an issue.
I also saw a reference to a TM "clone" backup. I don't know exactly what this is. Do I need one, or any other special TM backup, or should the default TM backup work?
I've also seen references to Setup Assistant being used to migrate data to a new iMac. Would I be better off using this or Migration Asst?
I saw a link that I thought would answer that, "Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ", but that just takes me to the top-level support page. I also saw a link to setup instructions from Pondini, but that requires me to log into iCloud, which my account can't do. I think my wife's can, so I'll try hers and check it in the morning.
Anything else I should know? Anything else I should tell you before you answer that?
Also, any idea how long this should take to migrate? Her internal drive shows 400G used.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks very much for the response.

As you are using an USB external drive and you probably want to transfer a lot of files (you say that the old internal drive shows 400 GB of used storage), it may take several hours. I do not recommend you to transfer everything or you may experience performance issues (if you had problems in the old iMac)
Can you elaborate on this? Do you mean we shouldn't restore apps, or something more fine-grained? We're mainly interested in her data (docs, music, photos, etc.).
Yes, the old one gives occassional WSODs, which was part of the motivation for the upgrade. I'm unclear on whether it's due to one or two specific apps. She always seems to have lots of apps open.
I have a follow-up question. I saw an Apple migration page that said after migration, if you don't plan to keep using the old iMac, then deauthorize it from iTMS and turn off "find my Mac" and sign out of iCloud. We are thinking of giving the old one to our 3-year old. Should I do the deauthorize, etc. or just create a new account for her, or does it not even matter?
Thank again.

Online Migration using SQL developer

Hi All,
We are planning to migrate our production SQL server.2005 database to oracle 10g. If I use online migration using Oracle SQL Developer Tool to migrate data from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g, then will it migrate all those records that are inserted into SQL server 2005 LIVE database after the time when online migration process started?
For example let say the migration process started at 10:00 PM in the night and it found 200,00,000 records in transaction table, it will take 3-4 hours to migrate all of them to oracle, now during this migration time the LIVE SQL server database will still be getting new records, so will 200,00,000 plus newly inserted records will get migrated to Oracle 10g or only those which were initially counted when migration started?
Kindly advise!
Best Regards!
Irfan

Hi Irfan,
It sounds easy to find that out by a little test. I would expect that only those records will be transferred that are in the remote table at the moment when the migration started. Online data move uses COPY via the JDBC connection, as far as I know.
200,000,000 records and an online data move is a contradiction. From the manual:
Mode: Online causes the table data to be moved by SQL Developer when you have completed the necessary information in the wizard; Offline causes SQL Developer to generate scripts after you have completed the necessary information in the wizard, and you must later run those scripts if you want to move the data. (Online moves are convenient for moving small data sets; offline moves are useful for moving large volumes of data.)
If you are using offline data move, then you are using BCP to unload the data from the SQL Server database, and then the rules of BCP apply how the records are unloaded.
What are you trying to achieve? Do you want to keep the two databases in synch? Then a migration does not seem to me the best way. There are other products, like the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server, or the Golden Gate product.
Best regards
Wolfgang

11.1.1.3 Dropping users from groups during EPMA migration

Gurus,
I'm migrating shared services between environments as part of a 16-step migration process using LCM. I'm using MSAD users and Native groups. Groups migrate, but the users drop out. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a workaround?
Thanks!!

I have not trusted LCM with migrating the Shared Services Security in an 11.1.1.3 environment. I stick with the css import/export utility. You can find it on the Shared Services server in the following directory ([Drive]:\Hyperion\common\utilities\CSSImportExportUtility). There is documentation on how to use and samples in the zip file.
Good Luck!

Magritte HFM application using LCM

hi,all:
we have a problem while move the HFM applicaion to another one using LCM.
OS:windows server 2003
version:11.1.1.3
Migration Status Report:
importArtifact(s) 的产品状态输入流解析失败。异常 - [MESSAGE - java.io.UTFDataFormatException: invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence (0xd0), LCM METHOD CALL - com.hyperion.lcm.handler.TaskHandler.updateStatusDocument(Unknown), ROOT CAUSE - org.apache.xerces.impl.io.UTF8Reader.invalidByte(678)] 。.
here is the content in the file after LCM,the Chinese character turn to error code:

from the error message above,it looks like we use the wrong character set.The HFM application contains a lot of Chinese characters,but what should we do in order to make it work？
thanks very much!

I found this message in the HFMLCMService.log:
