Upgrading the Web Catalog for Microsoft Windows for Less Than 4000 Users


Follow these steps to convert the Web Catalog to the Presentation Catalog structure when you have less than 4000 Web Catalog users or plan to have less than 4000 Presentation Services users. The steps use mywebcat.webcat as the example name for the Web Catalog.

To upgrade the Web Catalog for Windows for less than 4000 users

  1. Copy the existing custom webcat file to $OracleBIData_HOME\web\catalog.
  2. Stop Presentation Services.
  3. Assuming that the name of the Web Catalog is mywebcat.webcat, run the sawmigrate utility:

    $OracleBI\web\bin>sawmigrate $OracleBIData_HOME\web\catalog\mywebcat.webcat

    The sawmigrate utility runs and writes a report to the shell, screen, or console in which the utility was run. The report includes warning and error messages and a list of objects that might have failed to upgrade. The utility creates a directory named mywebcat under $OracleBIData_HOME/web/catalog with shared folders, users, and other catalog objects.

    NOTE:  The upgrade of a large Web Catalog can take several hours to complete (approximately 1 hour per 30MB of catalog data). Killing the sawmigrate process before it completes results in an incomplete upgrade.
