Unable to migrate Planning Securities filter form Prod to Qa

Hi,
We have migrated Sys9 planning application from prod env to Qa but security migration dint happend. Each time we need to login Oracle repository and do a export and import.
Please let us know the easy way to perform migraiton.
plz temme

If the users already exist in the Qa environment then you can use the updateusers.cmd utility, this will try and update the native sid values for users and groups in the planning repository to match shared services.
Cheers

My 10.6 Upgrade and OD Migration plan

Hi, I wish to share my 10.6 upgrade/migration plan in order to get feedback/comments from people who may have insight/experience doing the same and thus be able to offer advice as to whether my plan is solid or if there's anything I should add/change and any potential pitfalls.
Background:
We have:
200 x clients
1 x OD/Mail/Firewall/PrimaryDNS/etc server - 10.5.8 (hereafter referred to as ODS1)
1 x File Server - 10.5.5 (hereafter referred to as FS1)
(current 80GB HDDs in these servers to be upgraded to 1TB)
Reason for upgrade is ODS1 causes all kinds of issues:
- OD seems to be corrupt (people sometimes can't log in, accounts can't be deleted in workgroup manager)
- Mail service only comes up sometimes at random intervals upon restart (i.e. sometimes takes half an hour, sometimes won't come up for a whole day or not at all.)
Unable to solve these issues and decided to upgrade this server to 10.6.7 in the hopes of solving problems. We will also move OD to a separate virtual machine in the process - theory being that if OD has problems we can restart the server without affecting Mail and vice versa.
Restrictions on upgrade:
ODS1 is an XServe with two network cards (external and internal interfaces for Firewall) and Mail Store & User Directories is on Fibre Channel attached XServe RAID which means:
- I don't want to buy another fibre channel card so Mail Service has to remain on this XServe unless I move the mail store
- FW preferably to stay on here because this XServe has 2 network interfaces.
Luckily, very few users use the servers on the weekend so I don't have to worry about taking servers down for the upgrade.
Plan:
1. Prepare our new 10.6.7 Open Directory Master. This will be a virtual machine running through Parallels Bare Metals on an XServe
Set hostname “ldap.ourcompany.com”.
Set static IP address
Install all the latest updates.
Set up as DNS master – import all entries, but change ldap.ourcompany.com to point to this machine.
Set up Open Directory Master with correct SearchBase, etc.
Disable any other services that we don’t need.
2. Export Users and Groups from ODS1 through Workgroup Manager
3. Import Users and Groups to new server through Workgroup Manager
3.5. Run script to set all passwords from our list (Yes I have a list - and I know this is not best practice)
4. Test: by binding a new computer to this server and logging in with a user account set up on this server.
5. Backup
Make a backup copy of the new OD Master virtual machine.
On ODS1 and FS1, export all settings from Server Admin onto a thumb drive
Make an archive of Open Directory onto a thumbdrive (Server Admin -> Open Dir -> Archive Tab)
Copy from ODS1 onto some external HDD: Mail store and home directories locted on Fibre Channel attached storage
Run mailbfr –b /Path/to/backup/volume –full
Clone ODS1 HDD onto 1TB HDD using a caddy
Clone FS1 HDD onto 1TB HDD using a caddy
Remove HDD’s in ODS1 and FS1 and replace with clones and blank 1TB HDDs.
Implement new OD Master
6. Update ldap.ourcompany.com DNS entry to point to new server.
7. On ODS1, change Open Directory Role to Replica.[2]
8. On FS1, reconfigure Open Directory Replica.
9. On ODS1, change DNS role to replica and point tonew OD/DNS Master[3]
10. On FS1, change DNS replica to point to new DNS
11. On FS1, change DHCP to supply new DNS serveraddresses.
12. Test:
DHCP supplied LDAP on new computer.
Mail
Logging into accounts from existing computers
AFP
13. Backup again (so if next step fails we have at least achieved setting up new OD server)
Clone FS1 and ODS1 to blank internal 1TB drives.
Swap HD and Backup drive names and change start-up disk in System Prefs to newly named HD disk on both FS1 and ODS1, and restart, effectively testing the clones.
14. Upgrade ODS1 to 10.6.7
15. Change ODS1 DNS role to replica and point to newOD Master so that it has a working DNS service during the upgrade process.
16. Upgrade ODS1 to 10.6.7 in-place with CD
17. Check Mail settings before starting it.
18. Test:
Mail
Logging into accounts
Firewall
DNS Replica
VPN
Our Company custom scripts previously handled by Lingon (Any alternative to Lingon in 10.6?)
iChat
iCal
Software Update
WebMail
19. Point new OD Master’s Software Update to upgraded ODS1
20. Go Home!
Any advice?

Ok modified new plan, changes include:
- FS1 gets upgraded to 10.6 as well
- no "backup again" done - this will never be a point we roll back seeing that 10.5 can't be replica of 10.6
- software update added
- clean installs rather than in-place upgrades so that we start afresh and hopefully not importing the many problems we were facing on 10.5
- other little changes
Everthing up to before the "Upgrade FS1" section is done in normal working hours while clients are using the servers and from then onwards, on a weekend.
Prepare our new 10.6 Open Directory Master virtualmachine
Set hostname to “ldap.ourcompany.com”.
Set static IP address 192.168.30.30
Install all the latest updates.
Set up as DNS master – import all entries, butchange ldap.ourcompany.com to point to this machine.
Set up Open Directory Master with correct SearchBase, etc.
Disable any other services that we don’t need.
Export Users and Groups from ODS1 through Workgroup Manager
Import Users and Groups to new server
Run script to set all passwords
Change Home Directories to “None” or if this fails, to a location on the local HDD. (We use mobile accounts - ideally we need managed local accounts, nothing gets synced to server, so hopefully server home folders are not necessary - in 10.5 it didn't seem to work without having a server home set with a directory full of empty folders.)
Change software update managed settings in Workgroup Manager to: http://ods1.ourcompany.com:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog This will only work after ODS1's 10.6 upgrade is complete
Test: by binding a new computer to this server and logging in with a user account set up on this server.
Backup
Make a backup copy of the new OD Master virtualmachine.
On ODS1 and FS1, export all settings from ServerAdmin onto a thumb drive
Make an archive of Open Directory onto a thumbdrive (Server Admin -> Open Dir -> Archive Tab)
Document all settings on ODS1 and FS1 by takingscreen shots of each pane in Server Admin and RAID Admin for easy referencewhen later setting up the new 10.6 ODS1.
On FS1, document all file shares and permissions
Copy from ODS1: /Volumes/Xserve User RAID and/Volumes/Xserve_Mail_RAID onto external HDD.
Copy from ODS1: /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/ to thumbdrive (required for migrating mail later)
Run mailbfr –b /Path/to/backup/volume –full
Clone FS1 and ODS1 HD drives to the internal BUdrives.
Make FS1 file shares backup (on separate XRAID)
Upgrade FS1
Remove HDD’s in FS1 and replace with 3 blank 1TB HDDs.
Install 10.6 from DVD.
Install latest updates.
Configure as per previously documented screenshots, but with the following changes:
Make it a replica of the new OD Master instead of ODS1
Add a secondary DNS zone pointing to new DNS server
Configure its DHCP to provide new LDAP server
Set all correct file share permissions aspreviously documented.
Test:
Attempt to connect to every volume with various different users to test that correct permissions are being applied.
Turn many client computers on to test if correct DHCP settings are received.
Upgrade ODS1
Do a fresh install of 10.6
Set up all services using documented screenshots, but OD and DNS will be replica instead of Master.
Migrate Mail store by renaming mail folder onthe XRAID to oldmail, then issuing this command: sudo/usr/libexec/dovecot/migrate_mail_data.pl —moveMail 0 —cyrusBin "/Volumes/thumb_driveXXXX" --database "/Volumes/X-SERVE_Mail_RAID/oldmail/imap"--sourceSpool "/Volumes/X-SERVE_Mail_RAID/oldmail/spool/imap"--targetSpool "/Volumes/X-SERVE_Mail_RAID/mail/spool/imap/dovecot/mail"
Test:
afp://ods1.ourcompany.com./
Logging into accounts
Start up all computers in the office to makesure mail, managed prefs, DNS, DHCP, etc. work for all computers.

Unable to create Planning app

Gurus,
I have been unable to create planning app.
I created the datasource successfully in workspace.
Then when I try to create the app (so that I can dump the files from different environment), I get the message... APPLICATION ALREADY EXISTS IN ESSBASE.
I have tried to delete the application in Essbase and again when I try to create it, it again gives the same message. Do I need to do anything to avoid it.
Thanks

John,
Yes this is the environment.
Finally, the environment is up and running.
I have some planning apps and some essbase apps. I have already copied the essbase apps and loaded data, and Agged them.
Now I am trying to work with the planning applications.
I created the datasource.
and now I am trying to create the planing apps so that i could dump or do LCM to migrate, however, when I try to create the apps, it gives me the error message saying that the apps already exist in essbase.
One thing I need to tell you is that the server had essbase apps before. However, we uninstalled EPM cleared everything out and then installed brand new EPM on it.
Thanks for your guidance.

Planning Security Filter refresh and Essbase is Crashing

Hi,
I am on System 9.3.1 and I am doing a Planning security filter refresh and Essbase is Crashing. Please advise in this case.
Security is fine on this cube. It used to work fine earlier. Now from few days we are facing this issue.

We see same issue in 9.2.0.3, but only with 1 of our 5 applications. Was never able to get support to identify a cause, our resolution is to push users in small groups and save the essbase.sec file. Real pain. You could try stopping essbase service, using essbase.bak file and restarting then try to push and see if it works. I did identify issues with our openLDAP which I felt was the cause, I was able to clean it up in TEST and it works, but did same in Prod and worked once, then reverted back to crashing again, unless we push users in really small groups. Interested to see if you get a 'fix' from someone...

OIM11gR2 - How to migrate an Application Instance Form

Hello,
I'm trying to migrate an Application Instance Form from my Dev env to my QA env.
My target system is SAP
I performed the following steps in Dev:
1. Installed and configured the SAP Connector (no problem here)
2. Created a sandbox
3. Created an Application Instance
4. Created the Application Instance Form
5. Ran a target reconciliation to confirm everything is working properly
6. Exported the sandbox
7. Published the sandbox
8. Via Deployment Manager I exported all objects related to SAP (Resource object, Process Forms, Lookups etc.)
In QA I did:
9. Installed and configured the SAP Connector (no problem here)
10. Via Deployment Manager I imported the objects related to SAP
11. Imported the sandbox
Problem:
To my surprise, the Application Instance does not have a Form in the QA env.
I had to create it manually by performing the following:
12. Create a sandbox
13. Open the Application Instance definition
14. Click on create (to create a form)
15. Entered the same name I used in my Dev environment
16. Received an error message saying that the form already exists
17. Entered a different name for the Form
18. Saved
19. Exported the sandbox (to import in Prd)
20. Published the sandbox
21. Ran a target reconciliation to confirm everything is working properly
I tried to reproduce the problem with another (test) destination environment because I don't want to have the same problem when migrating to Prd.
I repeated the steps 9,10,11 except that I imported the sandbox exported from QA (step 19) instead.
The same problem: Application Instance definition has no Form attached to it in my test destination environment.
If I try to create the form with the same name, it gives an error message saying it is already there.
Is my procedure wrong?
Is there an official procedure explaining how to migrate only Application Instance Form from one env to another?
My env:
OS: Windows 2008 R2 SP1
OIM: 11gR2 BP7
SAP connector: 9.1.2.2.0
Thanks,
Adr

This is a bug: Bug:16027176
Check the [Article ID 1515225.1] which proposes a workaround that might be useful in your case (it was not in mine).
In short the workaround is:
The following order should be observed to export :
- IT Resource & Application instance in one xml
- Request DataSet in another xml
- SysAdmin Sandbox (the one defined while creating the Application Instance and the Form)
- Identity URL Sandbox (defined while customizing the fields on the Form, in the Catalogue page)

I used migration to send photos form my Mac Book to my I Mac now i get an error message "iPhoto can not be opened because of a problem" Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Max OSX. You may need to install any available updates or reinstall IPhoto.
I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program, any suggestions?

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

Frm-40505:ORACLE error: unable to perform query in oracle forms 10g

Hi,
I get error frm-40505:ORACLE error: unable to perform query on oracle form in 10g environment, but the same form works properly in 6i.
Please let me know what do i need to do to correct this problem.
Regards,
Priya

Hi everyone,
I have block created on view V_LE_USID_1L (which gives the error frm-40505) . We don't need any updation on this block, so the property 'updateallowed' is set to 'NO'.
To fix this error I modified 'Keymode' property, set it to 'updatable' from 'automatic'. This change solved the problem with frm-40505 but it leads one more problem.
The datablock v_le_usid_1l allows user to enter the text (i.e. updated the field), when the data is saved, no message is shown. When the data is refreshed on the screen, the change done previously on the block will not be seen (this is because the block updateallowed is set to NO), how do we stop the fields of the block being editable?
We don't want to go ahead with this solution as, we might find several similar screens nad its diff to modify each one of them individually. When they work properly in 6i, what it doesn't in 10g? does it require any registry setting?
Regards,
Priya

Unable to update record in web Form

Hi, i am unable to update record in a form. I am building a custom form using forms 6i and putting it on the web in oracle applications 11.5.9
I used template.fmb as a starting point for my form. I have one datablock based on a table. Insert, update and delete properties are set to yes on the property pallete of data block. The table against which i am running the form has a primary key which is a combination of two fields. I am able to update a record with pure SQL running against the table.
My form now brings back a record from the db like it should but whenever I try to update that record either by pressing Action Save or by clicking button that has update statement in it, instead of doing an update, it does an insert and tells me that this record already exists and that i entered value(s) that must be unique for each record. It thinks I want to insert but I want to update. What am i doing wrong???
Update allowed value is set to Yes in all the items in the data block and at the data block level as well. Querly_only is set to no.
What's even more frustratinng is that I've ran the form manually before starting with template.fmb and have been able to update the table but when I put it on the web and used template.fmb it stopped working!
I am very new to forms, can anybody suggest anything? Please help!!!

When you populate the 2nd block with a select into query, it's the same as just typing the data into the block. The record is treated as one needing to be inserted, not as one that is queried.
To populate it using a true query, but with data from the LOV, you can do this:
Programmatically set the default_where clause of the block based on the LOV. For example, if a name is chosen from the LOV in an item called LOV1, you could do:
set_block_property('block2','default_where','name='''||:block1.lov1||'''');
or if the LOV is a number, like a department number:
set_block_property('block2','default_where','deptno='||:block1.lov1);
The tricky part when you build your where clause is that you must surround strings with single quotes, and the way to do this is to use two single quotes to represent an actual single quote in the where clause. Otherwise a single quote is interpreted as part of the PL/SQL syntax.
Then, just navigate to block 2 and execute a query:
go_block('block2');
do_key('execute_query');
I hope this works for you. I didn't have time to test this, so I hope I didn't make any syntax errors when typing.

Migrate planning application without migrating Provisioning information

Hi,
Is it possible to migrate just Planning application and other Hyperion objects without provisioning information. which we can assign as per new requirement.
will it work or need to migrate provisioning information first then we can change later as per our requirement.
This time MSAD Provider should connect with different host.
Please advice.

I understand that planning application contain provisioning information of Planning application in shared services and should be migrated along with Planning.
My question was:
Is it possible to migrate planning application only and then i should able to either re provisioning everything from scratch for migrated planning as we had bad experience with existing provisioning.
though i have seen some option of update/delete in CSSImport (importexport.properties)
please advice.

MIGRATING SAPSRIPT TO SMART FORM Purchase Order

Hi all
my requirement is that here existing customised script of purchase order . i need to migrate customised script to smart form.(i need to develop what ever the output of customised script that i have to show in smartform)
i went to smart form Trasaction and migrated, while activating this form it is showing so many errors
please help me on this ..
Regards
Nagendra

Hi
In this case I think you should copy the std report to drive the print: the layout has to be different, but the data to be printed are the same. So It's better to use the std program because the get all data you need: if you want to use the smartform here you should consider only the part to select the data, because the part to print them will be included in the sf; so these std program can be very helpful for you.
I believe the problem can be the layout, if it's very different from std one you should create a new one without to worry the old/std layout, but these can depend on only you.

How to migrate Planning from Production to Disaster-Recovery server?

We are using Planning 11.1.1.3 Oracle repository. Presently our DR Planning Application name is different than production's name, and the DR's Windows server names are different from Production's. Otherwise, all other configuration the same.
How do we migrate Planning from Production to Disaster-Recovery server? We stopped Planning on DR server. Then we exported production planning Oracle repository and imported it to DR Planning. We restarted DR's Planning. DR planning seems to be running fine, but I am afraid to click "Refresh Planning" on DR Planning - it might update Production server. So how can I be sure DR and Production planning are disconnected ?
Is there anything we need to do? This method seems to be faster than migrating with LCM.
Edited by: Essbase Fan on Oct 18, 2010 10:11 AM

You are definitely go about it the correct way, if you are migrating the whole planning application I have to agree it is a safer and quicker route.
The connection information to essbase is stored in the planning system database/schema so as long as you have not migrated that then you should be good to refresh.
To put your mind at rest, log into the planning application and edit the datasource associated with the application then you will see where the essbase server is it is going to refresh.

Migrating planning artifacts from 11.1.3.3 to 11.1.2.2.

Hi,
I am migration planning application from 11.1.3.3 to 11.1.2.2 . I am trying to use LCM to migrate the artifact using shared service but while importing all the components are grayed out.
Can you please let me know how to migrate artifacts from 11.1.3.3 to 11.1.2.2.
Thanks.

LCM migrations are not actually supported between different versions, though saying that is it usually possible to get most artifacts migrated, you may need to edit some of the xmls.
If you perform an export on the target you get an idea of the format that is required for the import to work.
Cheers
