During configuration, with the Foundation Import data from earlier release task, EPM System Configurator extracts the contents of hssmigratedata.zip and imports the data to Shared Services Release 11.1.2.1.
EPM System Configurator imports the following data:
Security (including application roles)
Projects and Application IDs
Performance Management Architect interface datasource tables
Taskflow information
Audit information (for 11.1.1.3 only)
CSS.xml
Logs related to the import process are written to EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/upgrade/hss_upgrade_ps1.log and to the console. If there are any errors during the import process, you can rerun just the Import data from earlier release task.
EPM System Configurator performs the following tasks:
Updates CSS.xml (for 9.2.1 and 9.3.3) to replace all DN-based identity attributes to GUID-based attributes and imports them to the Shared Services Registry.
Updates all DN-based identities to their corresponding GUID-based identities.
Moves Native Directory to last in the search order.
Imports projects (application groups) into the Shared Services Registry.

Imports the Performance Management Architect datasource file InterfaceTables.instance on a temporary basis for use during Performance Management Architect configuration.
If you are moving task flows, note that task flow permissions are moved to roles as follows:
