Questions w.r.t essbase migration

Hi,
I have two queries:
1. We are going to migrate from essbase 7.1.6 to 11.1.2.2. We will follow manual approach i.e create new app in 11.1.2.2 and move all object and data to new app. I want to know is there any non compatibility between these two version w.r.t basic essbase functionality ( like rule file, basic calculation functions etc)?
Note: Our calculation scripts are very basic. There are no complex functions used.
2. We are planning to install essbase 11.1.2.2 on RHEL 5.4. I want to know is Oracle VM is mandatory for this installation or we can directly install essbase 11.1.2.2 on RHEL 5.4?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
SB

You wont just be able to copy files from 7x to 11x as there have been multiple changes. If its not lot of work, you should look into recreating these objects in new environment.
Are you moving from windows to linux? if yes, you need to make sure you are taking copies across environments in binary mode.
As for VM being a requirement, I have never ever heard this before. Most of essbase folks want to put essbase on physical box rather than VM. Make sure you validate OS and other software/hardware compatibility for your environment.

Essbase migration

Hi Team,
I am doing only essbase migration from verion 7.1 to 11.1.2.2 . All i need is Essbase and EAS in the upgraded version.
1) Do i need shared service in the newer version? If yes, do I need Oracle DB because shared service security is stored in DB?
2) Do i need provider services installed?
Thanks for your time.
Thanks,
Hari.

Hi Hari,
As per the documentation and recommendation, if you are consider upgrading any Hyperion component, it is recommended and advised that all the components should be in the same version.
If you plan to upgrade Essbase to version 11.1.2.2 then all the other EPM components(Hyperion) should be in the same version. This is documented.
For your information -
Upgrading from version 7.1.6.x to 9.3.1.x_
Migrating from 7.1.6 to 9.3.1. is covered in the online documentation in Chapter 'Upgrading Hyperion Products'. Essentially you are migrating first to 9.2.0.3 then 9.3.1.x
Source: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hsys9_install_start_here.pdf
Upgrading from version 7.1.6.x to 11.1.1.x_
If you are upgrading from an earlier release of EPM System products, note the following supported upgrade paths:
9.2.0.3 to 11.1.1.x
9.2.1 to 11.1.1.x
9.3.x to 11.1.1.x
If you are using a release earlier than 9.2.0.3, you must first upgrade to one of the releases in the preceding list, and then upgrade to 11.1.1.x. For upgrade procedures, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
Source: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_1111400_readme.pdf
Upgrading from version 7.1.6.x to 11.1.2.x_
Follow the previous instructions to get to 11.1.1.3, and then upgrade to 11.1.2.1
For upgrade procedures, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
Source: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_1112200.pdf
Hope it helps...

Essbase migration OS compatibility

Hi Team,
Can you please confirm if there are any issues with essbase migration from hp-ux to RHEL6 . Can i migrate the L0 data and outline/other artifacts between from source to destination. Will there be any compatibility issues?
Essbase 7.1.0 running in HP unix 64 bit version --> EPM 11.1.2.2 under RHEL 6 64 bit.
Thanks for your time.
Hari.

You should be able to migrate the otl and other objects and export/import the data, it might be worth trying to use the EAS migration wizard if it can access both essbase servers.
Cheers

Essbase migration (from backup)

Gurus,
In the environment I work in, we backup Essbase everyday. We have script to backup all the artifacts, such as essbase.sec, essbase.bak, essbase.cfg, .otl, .csc, .rep, .rul, etc.
We have several cubes in Essbase and we are supposed to recreate the same cubes in a different server. We do not have any cubes in the new server, so we need to have the same cubes as we have now in our production environment. How could we do this task? One may be via LCM but I would like to know if there are any other options such as copying, etc.
All the files we have are under \\server\d$\Hyperion\Essbase. So is there any way we can copy the whole essbase folder and paste it in the target server?
OR do we need to do something else?
Guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks

John and Kyle,
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge.
Well, I am thinking about using the LCM because while reading your links and then going over some of the docs, it seems to be more sensible.
Some questions,
In HSS, when i click the application group, and under FOUNDATION when I click SHARED SERVICES and export it, I have got the exported file in the FILESYSTEM. Also I have the option to save the migration definition. Do I need to copy the migration definition to the target environment or do i need to just copy the file I named during the EXPORT?
Also, we are migrating the whole SYSTEM to the new environment which consists of Planning applications, essbase cubes, reports and scripts, rules files, business rules, data forms, and all the artifacts.
Is it possible to achieve this via LCM?
ALSO, is there any sequence we need to follow in doing the export and import using LCM?
thank you again.

Essbase Migration from 6.5.7 to 11.1.1

Hi
Please clarify me below two questions
1) we are using Essbase 6.5.7 now our customer want to move from 6.5.7 to Essbase 11.1.1 can we do migration from V6 to V11 directly or we have to go from V6.5.7 to V9.3.1 to V11.1.1. what are the precautions we need to take care while doing migration.
2) we have Essbase VBA API 6.5.7, can we move from 6.5.7 to 11.1.1 VBA API's. if it is yes then what are the precautions we need to take care while going form V6 to V11. some where i have read like performance of VBA API tools will be decreased.If yes what is the alternative.
Thanks in advance.

1) As of now, there is no direct upgrade option available from version 6 to 11. It is supported only from version 9 to 11. However, if it is only an essbase you can always go a fresh installation of system 11 and migrate your essbase cubes into 11 environment using migration wizard in EAS.

Essbase Migration Path 6.5 to 9.3.1

My company needs to migrate from Hyperion Essbase 6.5 to 9.3.1.
I have been told that this can be done from 6.5 --> 7.1.3 --> 9.3.1
I have received conflicting advice that it needs to be done this way 6.5 --> 7.1.3 --> 7.1.6 --> 9.2.1 --> 9.3.1
What is the optimal and shortest path for this migration?
Any help and experience shared is much appreciated.

My first question would be why are you only going to 9.3.1? Sice it appears you upgrade seldom, why wouldn't you upgrade to 11.1.2.1? As for upgrade path. The path you mention is if you are upgrading in place. Since you are going from such an old version, I'll guess you are going to be on new hareware as well. If it is just Essbase, you could migrate individual objects export and import data, redo your security (and most likely go to external authentication) and be set to go. Talk to a qualified infrastructure consultant as the install for 9X and 11X are more complicated than 6. (I used to carry 6 around with me on a cd)

Essbase migration from 9 3 1 to 11 1 2 2

Hi Gurus,
I wish to migrate essbase applications from 9 3 1 to 11 1 2 2
I know one of the way is to use migration wizard to copy databases and do data export and import
I am wondering if anyone had done App folder copy from 9 3 1 to 11 1 2 2
I tried doing that, however I get an error saying unable to load database
Please help
thanks
Praveen.

Thanks John.
the process works when the source and target are in same version (9 3 1 )
but it fails when i go from 9 3 1 to 11 1 2 2
i am using a level 0 export and importing the data
but I am wondering why it don't work across versions.
Thanks
Praveen.

Essbase migration from different env

Hi All,
I need to migrate CUBE from DEV to QA env, I use the Essbase Administration tool to connect DEV and QA Essbase server, I copied the application from DEV to QA, after I test in the OBIEE report, found only the dimensions have data, the fact have no data,
I am wondering what would be the standard migration steps for Essbase cube?
Is there any one who have the same problem?
please help.
thanks & regards
henry He

Hi,
Did you export data?
Can you try to pull the data through excel or just with preview option in EAS(only for non unicode applications). If you see data here then there should be some problem pulling the combinations of data in OBIEE.
Can you see if there are any index/pag files for application in QA? this will also confirm if your application has any data.

Essbase Migration 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2

Hi all,
I have local environment in which Essbase 11.1.1.3 and Essbase 11.1.2 both are exist in different systems.
Now i want to migrate Essbase 11.1.1.3 Application to Essbase 11.1.2 through LCM utility.
Is it possible to do so if yes then how?

Hi,
I have not tried this before but I would do an export of the various application groups (HSS, Essbase etc) from the 11.1.1.3 environment and copy the exported files to the same directory or equivalent one in version 11.1.2. Log into HSS and see if those files are listed and try it and import.
I cannot remember if the version is listed in the exported files from lcm. If they are present you may have to manually update the version.
Thanks,
Nathan

Essbase migration procedure from Unix to NT

Does anyone have a procedure to migrate essbase from unix to wondows NT? I know that is a procedure in installation guide Ch.10, but I think it is just for the NT to NT..

we did this last year. export the data from the databases to a text file, use level 0 if you only load at level 0.after installing essbase on nt, add the same name apps and dbs in nt, connect to the unix & nt servers in appman, copy the outlines/dbs from unix to nt. load the data from your exports.copy all the object files eg .csc, .rpt, etc from the unix server, reset all server, app and db settings, including cfg file and recalc.we recreated security ids, groups and filters

Essbase migration from system 7.x to 11.x system

Hi,
Please i need help !
I want to migrate the essbase applications from 7.x system to 11.x system not by using the wizard.
Just i want to do it using the batch script in windows environment.
Please send the script with one example.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you want to batch it up then you will can use Maxl to create the v11 app / db.
If you have security/filters you want to export then it is possible with maxl though you will have to play around with the format. All the maxl statements are available in the [tech ref|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/launch.htm] so have a read. If that is too much of struggle then you could have a look at using the [advanced security manager|http://www.appliedolap.com/free-tools/advanced-security-manager] tool as that may help.
You will also be able to export / import the data using Maxl.
As for the database objects (otl,csc,rep,rul..) you can use windows command line to copy them.
I am not going to provide the script to do it as with a little reading of the tech ref you should be able to develop a script yourself, if you get stuck then there always help here to guide you on your way.
Cheers

Essbase migration from 6.5.7 to 9.3

Hello all,
We need to migrate Essbase applications from 6.5.7 to 9.3. I have read somewhere that it will not be a direct upgrade from 6.5 to 9.3.
1. Could you please someone explain the steps that we need to consider?
2. Can you please tell me from version 6.5 to which intermediate version and then to version 9.3?
3. Do we also need to buy the intermediate version?
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi,
Ramesh, we are not able to do the direct migration. If u want to migrate from 6.5.7 to 9.3, then you should need to migrate into intermediate version.
1) Steps:
By using migration wizard in AAS, you are able to migrate the application from one server to another.
First u need to migarte the application into 7X version and then to 9.3 version.
Important points to be remember :
* You must have Create/Delete Applications permissions for both the source and target Essbase Servers to use Migration Wizard.
* The target server for the application migration cannot be an older version than the source server.
* Make sure the target server is running.
2) Can you please tell me from version 6.5 to which intermediate version and then to version 9.3?
Need to migrate into 7X version.... i.e latest version of 7X ... It should be 7.1.5...
3) I am not sure in this.......
Regards

10g Questions - Folder structure, Files, Post-migration Scripts

Hi, Oracle Pros
I have a few questions that I have encountered in my 10g installation process. I hope I could get some help from you.
1- After I have installed 10g (release 2) software AND Enterprise Manager (release 1), I have noticed the installation has arranged the folders under 'Oracle' differently in my Windows 2003 Server. For example, I have two 'oradata' folders; one (EM) is right under the root 'oracle'; the other one (10g) under 'product > 10g'.
We'd like to re-arrange those folders to make it consistent and make more sense. Would this re-arrangement of folders affect applying patches later? I assume the way the install arranges the folders is following the OFA. That's why I am afraid to re-arrange folders after the install.
2- Does one use p-file or sp-file to start a database? I understand one can create one from the other. Does using either make any difference? If so, how?
3- I was told that after the software is said and done, not only do we need to import our 8i datafiles, but also write some script for the user, grant, tablesspace to be migrated as well. Is writing script for those objects really necessary? Why can't the OUI take care of all that?
I'd appreciate any of your help.
Have a good day.
CJ

2- Does one use p-file or sp-file to start a
database? I understand one can create one from the
other. Does using either make any difference? If so,
how?Either one.
The issue with PFILE is that it must be available to the DBA running the STARTUP command - on that DBA's platform. If you have multiple DBAs and possibly permit remote administration, there is a danger that you will have several PFILEs that are not in sync.
Because of this, Oracle created the SPFILE concep. It ensures there is only one natural initialization file, and that file is under the control of the server. It can be backed up by RMAN, it can be used by RAC instances, etc.
After kicking and screamiung at the change, I have become quite happy using SPFILE only - except for those increasingly rare non-dynamic parameter changes.
