Overview
Essbase Administration Services provides a Wizard for migrating Essbase applications and databases from one server to another under Shared Services security. For example, you might migrate an application from a development to test server or from a production to a test server to try out a new release of Essbase software. With Migration Wizard, you can migrate application and database objects without leaving Administration Services Console.
In this tutorial, you migrate an Essbase application from an Essbase Release 7.1.0 server (localhost:1425) to a Release 9.3.1 server (WIN3KB) running Shared Services security.
From Administration Services Console in the navigation panel, expand the source server node (localhost:1425), then expand the Applications node to reveal the Mexcorp application.
From the User level drop-down list, select Novice. From the Source Analytic Server drop-down list, select localhost:1425. Finally, from the Target Analytic Server drop-down list, select WIN3KB, then click Next.
Choosing User level Advanced generates an error, since, under Shared Services security, Essbase does not manage security. Thus, under Shared Services security, users and groups cannot be migrated using Migration Wizard.
From the Source application on Analytic Server drop-down list, select Mexcorp. In the Target application on Analytic Server text box, enter Mexcorp. Finally, select Replace target objects if they exist, then click Next.
When the migration is complete, a message is displayed in the message panel of Administration Services Console.
In the Navigation panel, expand the target server node (WIN3KB) to reveal the migrated Mexcorp application. If Mexcorp is not displayed, right-click Applications and select Refresh application list.
In this lesson, you learned how to migrate an Essbase application from one server to another using Migration Wizard, where Shared Services security is in force.
