Before using Lifecycle Management to edit deployment metadata artifacts, you must perform these actions:
Install and configure Shared Services and EPM System products and verify that they are running. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
Ensure that users performing Lifecycle Management operations are assigned the LCM Administrator and Shared Services Administrator roles. See Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.
Direct application-to-application migrations using Lifecycle Management are not supported. Deployment metadata artifacts must be exported to and imported from the file system. See Editing Shared Services Registry Data.
