During import, all Performance Management Architect artifacts will replace any existing artifacts on the destination environment. The only exception is Dimensions artifacts, which provide options to Merge or Replace.
Performance Management Architect import options:
Consolidation Application (Financial Management) Properties
Deploy after Import—Deploys the view to the application.
Instance Name—Name of the product instance to which the application will be deployed after the migration. If the application is already deployed in the destination, then specify the current instance to which it is already deployed.
Note: | Each product defines a product instance differently. A Consolidation Application instance is composed of a Web server with the application servers or clusters registered to it that communicate to one database. For example, a Consolidation instance could be composed of the Web server and the application servers or clusters used for consolidation that all communicate to one database. |
Application Server—Application server that is defined as part of the installation.
Shared Services Project—Select the Shared Services project for the application you are migrating.
Clear All Metadata and Data—Deletes all dimension members in the application database as well as any corresponding data, journals, and intercompany transactions.
Check Referential Integrity—Checks the metadata against the data to ensure integrity. Issues are logged in the log file.
Planning Application Properties
Deploy after Import—Deploys the view to the application.
Instance Name—The name of the product instance to which the application will be deployed after the migration. If the application is already deployed in the destination, then specify the current instance to which it is already deployed.
Note: | Each product defines a product instance differently. For example, a Planning instance consists of a group of Planning Applications and every application gets associated with an instance when created. You can change the association using the Re-associate Cluster and Application task in Oracle's Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Configurator. The instance is registered with Shared Services. |
Shared Services Project—Select the Shared Services project for the application you are migrating.
Data Source—The datasource for the Essbase or Planning application.
Create Outline—Select if the target Essbase or Planning application is being created for the first time.
Refresh Outline—Select if the target Essbase or Planning application exists, and an update to the outline is needed.
Create Security Filters—Select to store access permissions in an encrypted data file (Essbase.sec). To generate security filters for all users in the application, select this option but do not select the Validate Security Filter Limit option.
Shared Members Security Filters—Select to store access permissions in an encrypted data file (Essbase.sec). To generate security filters for all users in the application, select this option but do not select the Validate Security Filter Limit option.
Validate Security Filter Limit—Identifies security filters that exceed the Essbase security filter limit of 64 KB per row. Select to ensure that the size limit is not exceeded before building Essbase security filters.
Essbase Application Properties
Deploy after Import—Deploys the view to the application.
Instance Name—The name of the product instance to which the application will be deployed after the migration. If the application is already deployed in the destination, then specify the current instance to which it is already deployed.

Profitability and Cost Management Application Properties
Deploy after Import—Deploys the view to the application.

Dimensions
Replace Dimensions—Replaces any dimensions and properties in the destination with the extracted metadata from the source instance. The default value is Merge.
Note: | The Merge and Replace options only work at the member hierarchy level and not at the application or dimension level. In cases where a property is updated at the member level, Merge or Replace will overwrite the property according to the source. |
