You can copy applications to Essbase Servers to which you have appropriate access. You can copy an application from one Essbase Server to another Essbase Server (for example, from a development server to a production server) or within an Essbase Server (for example, for testing or backup). Essbase copies applications between servers differently than it copies applications within servers.
Target and source applications must be of the same type (aggregate or block storage). Settings related to member name uniqueness requirements are retained.
To copy applications, you can use the following procedure or use Migration Wizard. You should not use the file system to copy, move, rename, or delete applications. For information about using the file system to manage applications and databases during backup, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
Note: | You cannot copy an application to a target Essbase Server whose version precedes the version of the source Essbase Server. |
To copy applications:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, select an application.
Right-click, and select Copy.
In the Copy Application dialog box, select the Essbase Server that will contain the application copy.
In Application name, enter a name for the application copy.
Click OK.
Essbase copies the application and updates Enterprise View.
