About Lifecycle Management

Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Lifecycle Management provides a consistent way for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System products to migrate an application, a repository, or individual artifacts across product environments and operating systems.

Using Lifecycle Management features, you can perform the following tasks:

• View applications and folders

• Search for artifacts

• Migrate directly from one application to another

• Migrate to and from the file system

• Save and load migration definition files

• View selected artifacts

• Audit migrations

• View the status of migrations

• Importing and exporting individual artifacts for quick changes on the file system

Generally, the Lifecycle Management interface in Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console is consistent for all EPM System products that support Lifecycle Management; however, EPM System products display different artifact listings and export and import options in the Lifecycle Management interface.

In addition to providing the Lifecycle Management interface in Shared Services Console, there is a command-line utility called Lifecycle Management Utility that provides an alternate way to migrate artifacts from source to destination. The Lifecycle Management Utility can be used with a third-party scheduling service such as Windows Task Scheduler or Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Lastly, there is a Lifecycle Management Application Programming Interface (API) that enables users to customize and extend the Lifecycle Management functionality.
