Preparing Artifacts and Data for Upgrading

Use the steps in the following sections to prepare artifacts and data from Release 11.1.2.4.xxx for upgrading. Most products use Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Lifecycle Management to export artifacts and data in preparation for upgrade. You move application artifacts from one environment to another by downloading the artifacts from the File System node in Shared Services Console. When you download Lifecycle Management artifacts, they are saved in a ZIP file. You can then upload the ZIP file containing the artifacts to the Release 11.2 environment.

Note:

The Lifecycle Management Download option is available only if the file system folder is a ZIP file on the server. The file system folder is zipped by Lifecycle Management during the export operation only if the folder size is less than or equal to 2 GB. For content greater than 2 GB, you must use a mechanism such as FTP to move the content from one environment to another. Copy the artifacts from the LCM Export Import Location you defined during Release 11.1.2.4 configuration to a location accessible to the Release 11.2 environment.

For details about using Lifecycle Management, see Oracle® Enterprise Performance Management System Lifecycle Management Guide

If the Release 11.1.2.4 environment and Release 11.2 environment are on the same network, you can export artifacts to a shared drive. If your Release 11.1.2.4 environment and Release 11.2 environment are not on the same network, export to a location from which you can use a method such as FTP to transfer files to the Release 11.2 environment.
