Using the Lifecycle Management Utility
Overview
The Lifecycle Management Utility offers the following options:
-
Migrates artifacts to or from a file system
-
Lists the artifacts modified since the last exported time
-
Lists the artifacts modified in the exported content
-
Lists what has changed in an Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System environment
Note:
Errors encountered during migration are defined by logging.xml
in the
MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1/Config/FoundationServices
directory and the log.directory
property. Monitor the error log to understand issues encountered during the migration process.
Before Starting Migrations
Before starting migration using the Lifecycle Management Utility, do the following:
-
Verify that Oracle Hyperion Shared Services is running.
-
Back up the destination environment.
-
Create the migration definition.
-
Optional: Modify the property file to use for the migration.
Running the Lifecycle Management Utility
To run the utility:
-
If migrating, back up the destination environment.
-
Open a command prompt window.
-
Change the directory to the location of
Utility.bat
; for example,MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin
. -
Execute the utility by entering the following text at the command prompt:
Utility.bat c:/lcm/lcmdefinition.xml
where
c:/lcm/lcmdefinition.xml
is the location of the migration definition file
Running the Lifecycle Management Utility from a Non-Foundation Services Machine
In EPM System, apart from the machine where Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services is configured, migrations using the Lifecycle Management Utility can only be run from a machine where EPM System products are configured as part of a distributed EPM System configuration. Migrations using the utility cannot be run from standalone client machines that do not have any EPM System products installed.
To run the Lifecycle Management Utility from a non-Foundation Services machine:
-
Copy
Utility.bat
(Windows) fromEPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/utilities/LCM/11.1.2.0/bin
toMIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin
. -
Navigate to
MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin
and executeUtility.bat
.
