About Migrating from Performance Management Architect

Oracle Hyperion EPM Architect isn't available in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Release 11.2. If you're migrating to EPM System Release 11.2 and have metadata in Performance Management Architect Release 11.1.2.4, you can migrate the application metadata out of Performance Management Architect Release 11.1.2.4 into Oracle Data Relationship Management Release 11.2.

Note:

This step is required for Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management (Standard and Detailed applications). It is also required for Oracle Essbase, Oracle Hyperion Planning, and Oracle Hyperion Financial Management if you want to manage metadata in Data Relationship Management.

If you have Performance Management Architect-based applications in Release 11.1.2.4 and want to manage metadata in Data Relationship Management Release 11.2, review this overview of the process. Detail about these steps is provided in the upgrade instructions for each product. Note that these steps are in addition to the tasks required for exporting and importing artifacts for each product.

  1. Export your 11.1.2.4 application metadata from Performance Management Architect to a file using the EPMA File Generator Utility.

    For more information on using the EPMA File Generator, see From Performance Management Architect, Profitability and Cost Management, Essbase (ASO) and Essbase (BSO) Applications.

    Then, update the file so that it's compatible with Data Relationship Management. This may be a file conversion utility or a manual procedure.

    This step is covered in the "Preparing Artifacts and Data for Upgrading" section for your product.

  2. Create an application in Data Relationship Management using predefined templates and import your application metadata (the converted file from the previous step) to it.

    Then, manage your metadata in Data Relationship Management.

    For more information about using Data Relationship Management to manage metadata, see Importing Performance Management Architect Application Metadata into Data Relationship Management.

  3. When your metadata is ready to be used in your EPM System Release 11.2 application, export application metadata out of Data Relationship Management and import it into your EPM System application. See Exporting from Data Relationship Management and Importing to EPM Applications.
