Preparing Standard Profitability and Detailed Profitability Applications for Upgrading

Use Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Lifecycle Management to export Standard Profitability and Detailed Profitability application artifacts from Release 11.2.12+.

To export artifacts from Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management Release 11.2.12+:

1. Log in to Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace.
2. From the Navigate menu, select Administer, and then select Shared Services Console.

3. In the View pane, expand the Application Groups node, expand the application group that includes your Profitability applications, and then select the application to export.

4. Click Select All.
5. Click Export.
6. In the Export dialog box, in File System Folder, enter a name for the artifacts to be exported, and then click Export.

   Specify a meaningful name, such as profitability_application_name_11.2.12.

   Check the status column and wait for Completed status.

7. Expand the File System node in Shared Services Console, right-click the folder you created, and then select Download.

   The Download option is available only if the folder size is less than or equal to 2 GB. If the Profitability ZIP file is larger than 2GB, use an alternate method to access the file. For example, use a method such as FTP to transfer the folder to a location accessible to the Release 11.2.15 environment. By default, the exported folder is stored in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE\import_export.

8. In the File Download dialog box, click Save to save the application artifacts as a ZIP file.

9. Copy the ZIP file to a location accessible to the Release 11.2.15 environment.
10. Repeat these steps for each Profitability and Cost Management application.

11. After performing these steps, choose one of the following Metadata preparation steps:

    • Master Cube Approach - See Exporting Essbase Applications and Importing Essbase Applications.
    • Data Relationship Management Approach - See Exporting Profitability and Cost Management Standard and Detailed Application Metadata from Performance Management Architect.
