On this page, you select the preferred type of migration and the source and target Essbase Server instances.
In the “User level” list, you select the migration type:
Novice—You can migrate only types of Essbase objects. Therefore, you cannot migrate users and groups or individual objects. For example, you can migrate all calculation scripts associated with an application, but you cannot migrate an individual calculation script.
Advanced—You can migrate individual objects, such as a particular calculation script or filter. Also, you can migrate selected users and groups or all users and groups (assuming that the users and groups have access to the application or to databases within the application) and can specify how security permissions associated with the users and groups are migrated.
Note: | If the source or target Essbase Server instance is running in EPM System security mode, you cannot perform an Advanced migration. |
In the Source Essbase Server and Target Essbase Server lists, you select, respectively, the Essbase Server instances from which and to which to migrate the application.
If you want to run the migration in the background, select the “Migrate in background” option. If you select the option, as the migration processes, you can exit the console, but you cannot shut down Essbase Administration Server. You can review the status of the migration in the Background Process Status window.
