LCM import of Planning Application Hangs with "In Progress Status"

Hi,
LCM import of Planning Application Hangs with "In Progress Status" . its already couple of hours. Earlier it was always within 10 mins.
Any advise is appreciated.
Regards,
Vineet

It is probably worth trying again, may be useful to first bounce the services.
If it happens again after bouncing the services then investigate at what staging it is getting stuck at.

LCM Import

Going from one environment to the other I get this error,
Location:- ERPI-102173:Import for Location failed...
I would hate to think I need to create all the Locations manually so I can import all the other Scripts/Formats, etc...that's why I just started with the Location...
Suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi beyourbest,
I think that you'll probably need to check the LCM import log to see why the import failed. There are all sorts of dependencies that are required and LCM is unfortunately not intelligent enough to point out any potentially missing dependencies at the export stage like the DRM migration utility would do. A bit of a fail IMHO
You usually need to start of by ensuring that any source and target applications exist before importing anything into FDMEE that depends upon the applications. The LCM logs after the import failure will usually give you pointers about exactly why an import failed so that would be the first place to check for me and then take it from there.

Data import automation using webservices

Hi,
We have a requirement to load data into Oracle On demand monthly from an external application. We want to automate the task using webservices.
Did anyone of you work on such automation? If yes, request you please provide me the details of the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
Automated Data Import / Export to or from Oracle SOD using Web-Service is a very much a common requirement these days and we at CRMIT should be able to do that for you.
Drop me your requirement to [email protected] so that we can help you take it forward.

Aperture import automator workflow available

I recently put together an Aperture import workflow in Automator which I thought other people might find useful, it can be downloaded with instructions here:
http://tonyswash.info/ImportPlugin.zip
What this does is act as a plug-in for Image Capture. When you plug in your camera and Image Capture launches this plug-in is available. When selected it will:
Copy some or all of the images in your camera to your hard drive
Prompt you for a name for the images (i.e. wedding, vacation etc)
It will then produce sequential numbered files list based on the name you entered (i.e. wedding-0001, wedding-002, etc). The default setting is to start from 1 but you can start from any number.
It will then launch Aperture
It then prompts you for a new project name (which is the default setting or you can select an existing project) into which it will import the images. You can also select so that the Images copied to your hard drive (ie those not in Aperture) are deleted
It will then close Image Capture
It will then eject your camera
Hope this is useful to someone
Duel G5 2.5 Powermac and MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes, I found this out today. Any Finder Workflow that I start with "Get Selected Finder Items" does not work. Hope they fix this soon ...that's an important one to work.

LCM import destination

Hello,
I'm tasked with using LCM to export all my IR reports from Prod and import into my Dev environment. Both environments are 11.1.2.2. This is my first experience using Shared Services and LCM so please bear with me if my questions do not provide enough information. I'm trying to learn by doing here
My (very) basic steps to this: Prod Shared Services I select Repository Objects > Export > Transfer export files to my Dev File System > Dev Shared Services select the file from the File System node > Import
My question is: Can I change the import location for the artifacts? I want to copy all of the Prod repository items (along with the folder structure) into a single folder in my Dev environment. E.g. all my reports in Prod under \Prod_Root\Folder1\ and \Prod_Root\Folder2\ I want to import into \Dev_Root\Testing_Folder\Folder1\ and \Dev_Root\Testing_Folder\Folder2\
Thanks in advance!
Also, just to be clear, I am NOT trying to change the import_export folder location.

Thanks for the response Celvin.
My current dev environment was an import of prod (done prior to my arrival). So my root folder structure is almost identical. However, these reports have been modified and replaced in between then and now. I want to keep these folders/files intact so that the developers can continue working on them and not be affected by my work. My goal is to import the complete folder structure with files from Prod into a separate folder in Dev under root. When I import now from Prod it just overwrites my current folder in Dev. If I could just import and rename I would rather that than messing with the xml but I don't think that is an option in my situation.

LCM import error

Planning 11.1.2.2.303, all planning services run on windows, essbase and Oracle tables run on linux.
I am trying to move a classic application from one environment to a new environment. I have exported all the "Planning" components from the source environment.
In the new environment I have created the new application (slighlty different app name, but same DB names) thru the planning web wizard, and defined all 11 dimensions, set performance and evaluation order.
I am trying to import the LCM information to fill in the rest of the applicaiton and am receiving this error on the import...
EPMLCM-30047: Failed to connect to "[none] " while performing import for application - "USROTRD". Received status code - 500 with error message - "LCM engine did not provide a migration Id. "
for all object types.
I have searched My Oracle Support KM, Google, etc, with no information on this error. Does anyone know what this means?
TIA,
Robert

I have tried it both ways.
The first time I parsed thru the xml files and changed the application name (thankfully the app name was unique enough that a simple find/replace was all that was needed). When I did it this way there were only some objects that were receiving the error, mainly those objects associated with the plan2 cube (but not all objects for plan2 cube). I looked thru some of those xml files and it appears that all looks good as far as app/db names and folder locations.
The second time I simply tried exporting the old app name and loading to the new app from that directly and then the error shows for what seems to be all objects.
Robert
Is that the same message repeated for all objects( after you replaced the old app with new app)? Did you check the log files to see whether there are any other?

Can LCM import form security?

We are on Hyperion Planning 11.1.2 and used LCM to migrate and app from UAT to Prod. We migrated all artifacts over, but the form security is not there. We see the groups when we try to add access, but the access is not on the form folders themselves as they are in UAT. Is LCM able to import the security for forms like the dimension security? Thanks in advance.

Yes. LCM can import form and form folder security. I tend to export to the file system first. That way, I can see exactly what's in the XML files, plus I have an arcihve of what got migrated.
If you export to the file system first, you should see form and form folder security in the following directory:
resource\Security\Access Permissions
In that folder there will be a Users.xml file, and also a directory for Groups. If you look in the XML, you should see security assigned for forms and folders.
Hope this helps,

ODI IMPORT AUTOMATION?

Hello,
Is there a way to automate import (interfaces, scenarios, loadplan) process in ODI using a scripting language for e.g. OWB-OMBPLUS/TCL scripting?
Thanks in advance.

Hi D-Hawk,
Yes, you can use Groovy scripts and the ODI SDK. There is also a set of command line functions, OdiExportObject & OdiImportObject (found here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/integrate.1111/e12643/appendix_a.htm), that will also achieve automated export / import. But, I don't believe the command line functions will allow you to export / import Load Plans.
With Groovy, however, you can use the the export service (and similar import service) to build a custom script to perform the export / import of all ODI objects, including Load Plans. See the ODI SDK documentation here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/apirefs.1111/e17060/toc.htm
Below is an example of the export service code, exporting a Load Plan:
exportService.exportToXml(loadPlan, "/home/oracle/TEST/",true, false, encodeOpt)

Import Automation

Hello I'm newbi on CRM On Demand,
I just want to know if is possible to do a Data Import of any Record Type (i.e. Asset) from .CSV automatically, without user interation similar to On Premise with EIM Job Schedule or Reapeting Job Configuration?, Is the WS batch processing the alternative to import record type in unattended way?
Thanks,

A web services program can be written to import records such as assets on a scheduled batch basis. Many of our On Demand customers have done this. The web services can be written by you, an Oracle partner or Oracle consulting services.

Automating LCM Migration

We are running Planning 11.1.2.3 and would like to keep the applications in our PROD & UAT environments in sync. Currently perform LCM migrations manually once or twice a month; We export the PROD artifacts and import on DEV. However, we were wondering - is there a way of automating the migration? I did not see any functionality provided by EPM itself. If anybody has achieved any alternate methods to do this, or if there is somehow a functionality within EPM that I have not seen, please do provide input.
Thanks!

Can't see some Business Rules after running the Import via LCM

I am trying to migrate our Business Rules down from Prod to Dev to get them back in sync. Here is the steps I have run:
Export ALL Business Rules and Sequences from Prod via LCM
I confirmed the export directory contains an .xml file for EACH Rule.
copied the export directory down to Dev Shared Services server
Turned on DEBUG for Shared Services
Deleted ALL Business Rules and Sequences from Dev EAS BR repository
I confirmed that ALL BUsiness Rules are listed and checked in LCM Import.
run the Import from Dev Shared Services via LCM
I get a Completed successfully message. No Errors.
I Refresh Rules in Dev EAS and I only see 25% of the Business Rules listed.
I have tried to Stop/Restart the EAS services and still nothing.
I confirmed that the ID I am using to Export / Import has access on each Business Rule either directly or via a Group that has access.
Any thoughts??
Thanks in advance for any assistance on this!
Robert

Thanks John!
I was really trying to get it done via LCM since I have all other migrations being done there. but I ended up taking your advice and doing it the old fashion way via EAS export.
To answer your questions:
We are on 11.1.1.3
I did not see any problems in the Services logs for EAS. Nothing that stood out.
We are migratiing 66 Rules and 15 Sequences.
We are using Weblogic instead of Tomcat.
Even though I have a workaround for the issue I am still interested in understanding why some of them did not import via LCM. You mentioned that you might consider adjusting some config settings. What settings would you recommend looking at?
Thanks again John!
Robert

Import a business rule with LCM

Hi,
I have edited a new version of a business rule. After exporting it with LCM in development, I tried to import it (with LCM) on my test environment.
It appears that, even if the LCM import is successful my business rule (that already exist on my test environment) wasn't replaced.
Is there any parameter I have missed somewhere, because I can replace existing webform, or any planning components, but I can't replace business rules.
I'm using Planning 11.1.1.3
Regards,
Franck

Hi,
If you want to replace a Business Rule into Planning using LCM you have to follow these steps:
If you use Business Rule Server:
1. Connect to Essbase Application from LCM console
2. Find your business rule and replace it
If you use Calc manager:
1. Connect to Calc Manager Application from LCM console
2. Find your business rule and replace it
3. Connect to Calc Mananger console and Deploy your Business Rule
Remark: You can replace it directly from your planning application

Essbase filter assignment while importing the security through LCM

Hi Experts,
My source server is Essbase standalone 11.1.2.1 and my destination is Essbase 11.1.2.4, obviously shared services security.
I just created some test users/ groups/ filters in 11.1.2.4 and did export through LCM and got the actual format of users/ groups/ roles CSV files. Then I just did edit all these CSV files with my source 11.1.2.1 users/ groups details with the respective roles and tried importing it in the same 11.1.2.4 server.
I was successfully able to create all the users groups and its roles assignment. But I got stuck up with the filter assignment for the groups... I mean my groups are assigned with the role 'Filter' at the 11.1.2.4 environment but I dont know how to get the actual filter assigned to these groups.
I know in Applications group we can assign filters manually using Assign access control but how to do it with the LCM import itself? is there any options/ tricks available or do we need to do it only by manually?
Thanks,
Siva

Not tried the maxl create group but it is deprecated in 11.1.2.4
Anyway there is nothing wrong with groups in EAS 11.1.2.4
Cheers
