Resolving EPMAT-7: Invalid TempServiceType Error

This error is reported when you execute the recreate command under the following situations:

• You used the TempServiceType optional parameter against an environment that cannot be converted to the requested service type because of the restrictions imposed by the command.

  Legacy Subscriptions: The recreate command can temporarily convert Planning and Budgeting Cloud, Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud, Tax Reporting Cloud, and Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud environments to support Account Reconciliation, Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud, Enterprise Performance Reporting Cloud or Profitability and Cost Management Cloud applications. After this conversion is complete, you must convert the environment back to the original service type before attempting to convert it to another service type. For example, you converted a Planning and Budgeting Cloud environment to a Profitability and Cost Management Cloud. You cannot directly convert this Profitability and Cost Management Cloud to an Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud environment; you must first convert it back to a Planning and Budgeting Cloud environment (by using epmAutomate recreate -f), and then convert it to an Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud using epmAutomate recreate -f TempServiceType=EDMCS.

  Legacy Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management: You can convert your Profitability and Cost Management environments to Planning or Enterprise Planning environments by running the following command:

  epmautomate recreate -f removeAll=true TempServiceType=PBCS

  To convert the environment back to the original Profitability and Cost Management environment, use the following command:

  epmautomate recreate -f TempServiceType=PCMCS

  Note:

  Profitability and Cost Management environments cannot be converted to Account Reconciliation, Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud, or Narrative Reporting environments.

  EPM Standard Cloud and EPM Enterprise Cloud Subscriptions: You can convert an Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud environment to support any other supported business process. After this conversion is complete, you must convert the environment back to the original service type before attempting to convert it to use another business process.

  For example, you converted a Consolidation and Close environment to support Profitability and Cost Management. You cannot directly convert this Profitability and Cost Management environment to support an Enterprise Data Management business process; you must first convert it back to a Consolidation and Close environment and then convert it to support Enterprise Data Management.
• You specified an invalid value for the TempServiceType optional parameter. For example, you specified TempServiceType=DMCS instead of TempServiceType=EDMCS.

To correct this issue:

• Verify that you are using an acceptable value for the TempServiceType parameter. The value of this parameter must be in all upper case. Acceptable values are ARCS, EDMCS, EPRCS, PBCS, and PCMCS.
• Run the recreate command without any parameters (epmautomate recreate -f) to return the environment to its original service type. After this process is complete, execute the command (for example, epmautomate recreate -f TempServiceType=EDMCS) to convert the environment to support another business process.
