Upgrade/Migrate Essbase Standalone from 9.3.1.0 to 11.1.2.2

I've got a standalone 9.3.1 instance that we want to take to 11.1.2.2. For us, the most cost-effective way is to patch 9.3.1 to a release we can migrate from, compatible with 11.1.2.2. So it's 9.3.1 to 9.3.1.6/9.3.1.7 in place and then to 11.1.2.2 on new hardware.
My concern is the move to 9.3.1.6. Has anyone done this, and what are the pain points? My users are only in Essbase (security). I believe I've read they need to get out of Essbase before going to the 11.1.2.2 HSS/Essbase scenario (HSS required for install/startup?)
Anything that I *shouldn't* do?
Thanks in advance,
-Vince

If it is standalone and only Essbase personally I see no point in patching and then upgrading to 11.1.2.2, I would prefer to have a clean install and then migrate the application as if you moving to 11.1.2.2 then no doubt it will be new hardware and OS.
One possible method would be to install and configure 11.1.2.2 then use the EAS migration wizard to migrate the Essbase applications, data would need to be migrated separated.
You would also need to consider security if you are moving to Shared Services security in 11.1.2.2
It may be worth discussing your options with a consultant as there important points that should be covered which is probably not for a forum.,

COuld you let me what are the list of measures/Prerequisites i need to take before going for upgrade .

Hi,
You can upgrade your portal with all usages that you have installed. You need to check upgrade guide as well.
You need to check if there is any custom development on the portal to migrate it to new version.

Upgrade the Essbase Client from Version 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2 on LINUX 64 BI

Hi All,
Can any one please let me know the process to upgrade the Essbase Client from Version 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2 on LINUX 64 BIT Server. Is it possible to upgrade the essbase client alone or do we need to upgrade the Essbase Server as a whole? Also, does Essbase upgrade is possible from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2 on LINUX ?
If Essbase client upgrade is not possible, can you please tell the list of Files that need to be download to Install Essbase server V 11.1.2.2 on LINUX.
Thanks
Reddy

Have a read of the following doc in Oracle Support - "How to Install the Essbase Client Tools MaxL and ESSCMD on a Planning Server Installed on Unix Server [ID 1477705.1]"
I know the title of the doc is not exactly the same as the question but it gives you an idea of the process based on 11.1.2.2, the easiest solution is probably to apply the maintenance release to upgrade from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2

Migrate essbase app from 6 to 9

planning to migrate the app from essbase 6 to esbase 9.to a whole new server.
Any issues with that...any doc on migration from 6 would be useful.
its urgent

I started to migrate from 6.6 to 9.3.1 and it went quite smooth. What I have done:
Installed the server.
Used the config tool and removed shared services registration.
Copied essbase.cfg to new installation.
Had to add the env variables manually on AIX from the hyperionenv.doc.
Installed the eas server.
Used config tool for config and deployment of eas on std settings.
Installed the eas client and used the migration tool to migrate some databases to the new server from a 6.6 (6.6 running on different machine than 9.3)
Tested our batch processing for data load, security transfers, data staging etc. which uses some api interfaces and ESSCMD and maxl scripts. All without any problems. All settings were kept the same as on the old systems (essbase.cfg, db settings, app settings).

Migrating Essbase App from SUN to LINUX

Dear Essbase Members,
Can you please help me in answering the below questions.
We are soon to migrate our essbase applications from Current : Sun Solaris SPARC 64 bit OS - Essbase 11.1.1.3 to Target : Oracle Linux 4 64 bit OS - Essbase 11.1.2.2 .
can i migrate my essbase applications by create all essbase applications on the target servers and just copying all essbase objects like ( .otl, .rul ), level 0 export from source and import in the target and aggregate the cube.
I know we have a migrating utility, but was thinking about the above approach. will i be able to copy files and make it work , as the OS and essbase version are different on both the servers.
or is there a better way to do this.
Thanks
MS

Yes you can use that approach or use the EAS migration wizard, personally I would choose the migration wizard as it will migrate more information like filters, substitution variables.
For a list of what is and not migrated using the wizard have a read of - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/eas_help/dbwzmigrpost-migration.html
Remember security will not be migrated if in Shared Services mode.
Cheers

Upgrade/Migration using PCD from 8.6 to 10.5

Customer has a cluster with a publisher and 7 subscribers. Infrastructure is a mix of 6 spec-based VM servers and 2 MCS servers. I am considering using PCD, but I have the following questions:
With the mix of virtual and MCS servers, do I need to do a migration vice an upgrade?
If I do the migration, does this essentially double the virtual real estate required until the migration is complete and I can delete the 8.6 servers?
Any other gotchas that I should be aware of? This will be my first PCD upgrade/migration.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan Richie

PCD will install and push the info one server at a time, you can either keep the same IP addressing and hostname, or change it. If you're going to keep the same, you need to build a separate network with ALL the services you have in production and make sure you do not cause a conflict by separating the networks.
If you have the CAR DB at full capacity, delete the records to avoid timing out.
And as Aman said, 10.x and above are ONLY supported over ESXi, no baremetal support.

Migrating Essbase Application from QA to Production

Hi Experts,
I need to migrate an Essbase application (PLNG) from QA to Production system. This migration include business rules, calc scripts, load rules, and report scripts. The metadata repository resides in an Oracle DB. I am following step:
Shutdown the Essbase application PLNG.
Move the complete files under $ARBORPATH/app/PLNG from QA to Production
Move all the Essbase data files for Essbase PLNG databases pag and ind files from QA to Production
Export the PLNG user from QA and import it to the Production Oracle DB (metadata)
I need comments whether I am following the right procedure or not. Also the PLNG application contains one database PLNG1 which I want to keep as is , so in that case, how do I need to import the metadata from QA to Prod.
Thanks
-Samar-

Hello Nome02:
I would test first what dhowehughes has said. You can find this wizard on File->Wizards->Migration menu in Essbase Administration Services Console. This usually works for all metadata with two exceptions:
1) Security issues. If you are using Shared Services, you will not be able to migrate users, provisioning,... with this method. You must use Shared Services instead. If your Essbase installation is stand-alone, then you can use this wizard to migrate security.
2) Data. You have to export data to a file/s. Transfer this/these file/s to Prod environment and import them.

Javier

Upgrade/Migrate Planning application from 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3

I have installed 11.1.2.3 on Window 2008 R2 servers. Our old environment is on 11.1.1.1 is still up and running on different server(windows 2003). I have successfully completed the following:
1.     All Hyperion products (HSS,BIPLUS,CALC MGR,EPMA,Planning,FDME installed successfully and everything working fine.
2.     I am able migrate the all FR reports successfully(Export/Import method) and Yet to test the reports after application migration.
3.     I created Planning apps in the new system which is similar to old application , I can open the Planning Application Administrator via WorkSpace URL.
My question :1) Can i migrate Planning repository DB schema from SQL server 2005 to New application schema on SQL server 2008.
                            (There is any update required before and all the repository table of 11.1.2.3 similar to 11.1.1.1
                   2) How can i migrate the Business rules to Calc manager(.i.e 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3)
                   3)How can i migrate the FDM application (.i.e 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3)
Please let me know if you need any further information.

First of all 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3 direct migration is not supported so if you have issue upgrading planning then unfortunately that may be the reason.
SQL Server 2005 to 2008 should be ok but if you are concerned then upgrade the sql server 2005 version to 11.1.2.3 then use LCM to change database versions.
Business Rules read the following support doc - "Hyperion Business Rules (HBR) to Calculation Manager Migration White Paper (Doc ID 1528121.1)"

Is there a detailed step-by-step guide on how to migrate from Windows 64bit RAC dual node cluster from 11g to 12C?
So far I've found lots of documentation related to Linux, not Windows.

Migrating Essbase Objects

While migrating essbase objects from one essbase server to another, i copy the whole applciation folder in NT environment.this invariably copies the app.app and app.apb files.
I opened the .app file and saw the database setup details in there and realized that the target app essbase server is different.
Does this mean that copying of .app and .apb files are not needed while migration?
Also, in the target environment, there is not .apb file. i guess this is because it is a newly created blank application upon which the migration is done. In that case, when in the .apb file created as this is the app backup file.

Hi,
The Best thing you can do during migration is, Export Level 0 data first. If you want to use the wizard, it will copy all the Essbase objects. Copy the security file from Dev to QA (assume you are migrating from Dev to QA). If you do not want to use the wizard, just simply create the application in the new server, open the outline (Dev outline) and save it in QA. Now you can import the data and run the calc script. Hope this helps and i did this process many times

Upgrade & Migrate from V11.1.1.3 to V11.1.2.2

Hi All,
Currently we are using Hyperion Essbase Server V11.1.1.3 in Windows Server 2003 R2.
We are in a plan to Upgrade & Migrate to Essbase Server V11.1.2.2 in Windows Server 2008.
We are only using Essbase w/o Shared services.
Could you please provide me the below information:
(1) Whether LCM Utility can be used to perform this Upgrade & Migration from V11.1.1.3 to V11.1.2.2 ( not using the Shared Services)?
(2) Any documents w.r.t this Upgrade & Migration using LCM Utility?
Regards,
Swathi.

Upgrade Path for migrating Essbase 7.1 to Essbase 11.1.2.1??

Can any one tell me the upgrade path (and related documents) for migrating Essbase 7.1 to Essbase 11.1.2.1??

Thanks Nathan for your response.
Will the below Essbase Upgrade steps work (From version 7.1 to Version 11.1.2.1 directly)?
1. Install Essbase 11.1.2.1 in one server (new) and Shared Services in another server (new). Both the new servers with Win 2008 OS.
2.Login to EAS console in the new server. Open the outline version 7.1 and then migrate to version 11.1.2.1.
3. Copy the artifacts (such as Calc Scripts and Rule Files etc.) from the Old Essbase directory (Version 7.1) to the new Essbase directory (Version 11.1.2.1).
4. Extract data from the old system and import into the new system.
5. Export Essbase security from old system and import to the shared services of the new system. This might requires some manual interventions.
Or, do I have to upgarde from version 7.1 to 11.1.1.3 and then from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1?

Migrating Essbase from 7.1.6 to 11.1.2.2 in Unix Environment

Hi Experts,
we are going to migrate Essbase from 7.1.6 to 11.1.2.2 in unix environment. We have heard that we cant migrate directly from 7.X to 11.X Version. If so, then how can we proceed. Please suggest the steps to follow and documents to proceed in Unix Environment. I am new to unix environment.
Your suggestions will be more helpful...
Thanks,
Chinnu

Thanks Celvin,
But my doubt is can we migrate 7.1.6 version Essbase to 11.2.2 version in a single shot? I have heard like If we want migrate 7.1.6 to 11.1.2.2
1. we have to migrate 7.1.6 to 11.1.3 and then
2. 11.1.3 to 11.1.2.2.
Will the migration utility work to migrate 7.1.6 to 11.2.2? Please suggest on this am not getting a clear clarification on this.
Thanks,
Chinnu

Migration of application from Oracle Express 6.3.4 to Essbase 9

I got a requirement to migrate an application from Oracle Express to Essbase.Can any one help me if there is any documentation for migration or else do I have to rebuild a new application in Essbase with the same functionality as in Oracle Express.
Rgrds,
G.K

As far as I am aware there is no migration tool to convert to essbase and you will have to build a new application in essbase.
On a side note this campaign from Oracle back in 1998 amuses me - http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4VEEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA17&ots=Amg-YO3m5X&pg=PA17#v=onepage&q&f=false
The line "Oracle Express Server slaughtered Arbor Essbase in both load and calculation times and query times" is a classic.
I wonder if Oracle feel the same way now :)
